" Geez, I can't believe they have locked the door."
Almost thirty minutes since Cade began the introduction with Jaden, Luuna was actually waiting for him outside with a worried expression.
She was a daughter of a big-shot, and unlike other people, she knew about the Special Forces.
And since that Jaden was here, Cade might be into a bit of a problem.
But the problem was…
There was no way for her to enter the interrogation room.
Even using his father and family name was not helpful, and he had no other choice but to wait for Cade silently here.
And as time passed, the worries on her face began to be even more apparent. Until..
The room to interrogation door was opened from inside, and Cade appeared out of it with a tired and pale look.
" Cade! Are you okay?"
Luna came to him, sizing each and every part of him, and only when she made sure that he was okay that she sigh a relief.
" Well.. I'm okay, I guess." Cade touched his cheek as he responded, but it clearly wasn't enough to satisfy the curiosity of Luna.
" Tell me, what have they done to you inside? Grrrrr.. if they were to do anything!"
Luna clenched her fist as her eyes were burning with rage which Cade could only chuckle a bit.
" It's nothing much. Every time he asked a question, I just answered that he should contact my lawyer, and I'm not entitled to answer his question."
A smile appeared on Cade's face as he imagined the frustrated look of Jaden.
Indeed, it was also one of the choices to make in the game, and even though it was silly, the walkthrough had pointed out that it was the best choice of answer to take, and Cade had decided to follow the walkthrough only to find out that it had worked miraculously.
Luna's face turned frozen a bit before she also burst into laughter as she heard how Cade wickedly handled the situation.
" Pfttt… I could imagine how ashen his face when he heard your answer…"
As of now, Cade had given up on maintaining his distance from Luna.
Even though Luna should actually be the main heroine, it was a Galge game, and the protagonist should still have lots of other choices to be his spouse.
Even more, as one who has played the game till its end, he knew how hard-headed could Luna be, and since she had decided to be closer to Cade, he knew there was no avoiding it.
Rather, he should just keep a good relationship with Luna. Who knew when it would be helpful to him later?
As the two finished exchanging a few words with each other, Cade's face slowly turned a bit serious.
" What?" Luna asked. She was curious why Cade suddenly behaved so strangely.
" No.. it's just. Back then, I'm sorry that I-"
Cade hadn't even finished his words when Luna understood where he would bring this topic to.
At that time, she was already tired from fighting the Big Arcane Card, so when she saw Cade strangling a researcher with eyes and an aura that was far from the usual him, she unknowingly fainted.
Luna seemed to fidget a bit, but after she made up her mind, she put her hand on Cade's lips.
" No need to be sorry. Rather, I'm the one that should say sorry."
The tense atmosphere was relieved, and rather there was something that felt like a new bond had been created between the two, which even Eva and Alice-Senpai, who were secretly watching from the side, raised their thumbs up unknowingly.

Luminous City -
Luminous City was one of the most prosperous places in the Ultima Federation.
Nonetheless, behind every prosperous place, there was always darkness hidden beneath it.
Inside the slum of Luminous City, a certain man with red hair was walking with eyes full of bloodlust.
" Blood… I need more blood. Damn those guys from the Underworld, after they used me once, now they want to get rid of me?"
The looks in his eyes were terrifying, and even the delinquents that usually play around in the slums were not naive enough to get close.
Today, the man was in a pretty bad mood.
The missing incident in the Luminous City, he was actually the one behind it as the guys from the Underworld has given him a mission to find someone from Luminous City but without any significant lead about his target.
Yet, for some reason, a few months ago the operation was suddenly cut, and he was kicked from the Underworld without any explanation.
The man was just about to get into a bar in the slum and make some trouble when suddenly, a few guys in black clothes came and approached him.
" Are you Irvin the red blood? From your look, you don't seem to be that convincing."
One of the men said. His tone was full of a sneer as he went nearer to Irvin the Red Blood.
Yet never once the man in black thought that this decision of him to get closer to Irvin was a misjudgment on his part.
While he was acting tough and all, he suddenly saw Irvin's hand glowed red before he could not feel any of his limbs or body.
*Snap*
A bloody red shadow suddenly appeared behind the man in black as it snapped its head before crushing its skull into minced meat.
In just a second, Irvin was able to kill the man in black. Nevertheless, the expression of his comrades didn't have any slight change, and it made Irvin feel a bit uncomfortable.
" I am Irvin the Red Blood! Who are you? And what do you want? Do you think because I am like this, you guys could bully me all you want?"
Irvin roared, but certainly. she could feel that the other side was not something he could easily take care of.
The man in black all seemed ready to summon their Arcane Card when Irvin Roared. But the man that looked like the leader stopped them as he walked closer to Irvin.
" I apologize, my subordinates were just testing you. By the way, the name's bond, and I want to issue a mission for Irvin the Red Blood."
The man said with a friendly smile. Yet, the next moment, the man's eyes opened slightly as a tremendous aura came and hammered Irvin.
" Oh, but for your knowing. This is not an offer."
