I sat down in my room all alone... The light is still on despite it's already 11 PM... I've been thinking to call Uni to ask her to come with me back to my school for a bit. Since I do want to learn about how she deal with pressure...
But I've been too busy with extra training today... I've been into physical training today... Because I've trained my energy these last couple of days. It's good to be back on track!
Anyway... I peek out my window straight to Uni's House... It seems like her room is still bright... Not only that... She opened the curtain and then open the window... She looks... Normal... She's wearing a night mask it seems like... And she's just letting fresh air in and also... Drinking something...
I open the window and then we make eye contact. She looks surprised when she saw me across... I just waved at her and then point at my phone... She immediately nodded like 'Sure, you can call me' so I did.
I call her and she pick up pretty quickly.
"What's wrong Taiga? Did you miss me already?"
"Uni. Stop joking like that... Anyway... Is this your nightly routine? I never thought that the glorious Uni in the battlefield look like a normal lady."
"I am pretty normal when it comes to normal every day life... People thought that it's weird... Do you think it's weird too Taiga?"
"No. Not really. I think it's charming that the Uni I know in the battlefield can be a normal lady outside of the battlefield."
"..."
She suddenly went quiet... I can see from a far that she's pretty red on her face... It cuts through her mask huh... She's embarrassed about something.
"You really know how to tease an old lady huh..."
"Uni. You're not old... Stop undervaluing yourself. You're the prettiest lady I know. That's a fact."
"Pffffftttt!!! What the fuck?! C-Can't you stop joking around?!"
She is mad... I can see her staring at me. I just let my tongue out and let out some cheeky smile... I chuckle quietly and then told her my other intention.
"Anyway Uni. Tomorrow, Do you want to go to my school for a bit? There's a memorial to respect those who has passes in the dungeon break. And I want to learn from you how you handle the pressure from the public that might be expecting something that you don't want to do."
"... I see. You already learn about that a bit huh... Alright then. Let's spend some time on the road tomorrow. Let's check on the association tomorrow too. You need to make a press conference as the newest S Ranker."
"Eh? H-Have you arranged that?"
"Yeah. The schedule supposed to be The day after tomorrow. But I guess tomorrow is fine too. Let me call the association to reveal your identity tonight and a press conference will be held tomorrow at 12. How does that sound?"
"Yes Please. Sorry to make it hard on you Uni... Even though I also told you that we can spar tomorrow..."
"Ahahaha~ That's fine Taiga... I'll support you with everything I have... And you too, will support me with everything you have. It's normal right? As the duo Master and Vice Master of the strongest Guild in the Country."
I smiled quietly and then look at her. She's smiling back at me with serious look... I just put my thumbs up and she chuckles...
"Alright then. Let's get on moving early in the morning. Tell Myu to join us tomorrow as well. I'll call Sir Lukas after this."
"U-Uni... I-I think that's too much no? L-Let me handle the rest!"
"Rest up Taiga. Let me handle this... You might not know this... But I need to do some work before I can sleep you know? Usually, I would finish up all the work that I neglected today. But since I've finished all of my work for the next week... I'm free."
"I see... Thank you Uni... If you're struggling to sleep still. Feel free to call me. I'll answer it."
"Alright. See you tomorrow morning then, Taiga."
"Yes. Thank you for your help Uni."
She ended the call and then waved me good night. I stand up, waved at her and then bowed down. I close the window and put the curtains down...
Honestly, Speaking with Uni is really comfortable... She's the first person that I speak that much that is not my family member... I feel like I talk with her at a level of comfort that passes the level of family. And I think that's saying something about my feeling toward her...
Aaah, I respect her so much... I look up to her since she becomes a Hunter... Not as a hunter, but as a human being... I don't want to disappoint her too much. So let's work our damn hardest for the guild and for her...
Anyway... I laid down on my bed and started dozing off. I put my phone on speaker in case she did call me...
I sleep pretty comfortably for the night... I sleep at 11.30 PM. Which is pretty late... I set up alarm for 6 AM... As usual... But for some reason... I just feel like I'm not that tired anymore... Because I feel energetic, I feel lively and happy...
I take a look on my phone and it's blowing up... Especially from the Hunters News... They've received the news about my existence as an S Ranker that belonged to Everlasting Sun guild already... People think that the way Uni recruits me isn't fair. Because no one really heard of me other than from the Dungeon Break incident...
I already prepared a comment for that of course. So when we do our Press Conference later on... I will explain to them if they asked why I join the Everlasting Sun guild immediately without giving other guild a chance...
Anyway... As soon as I wake up... Uni called me.
"Taiga. Prepare yourself immediately... We're going to go on a road trip. Call Myu out as well. Can't afford her being late."
"Okay Uni... I'll see you in a bit."
I ended the call and then prepare myself by taking a bath and also waking Myu up... Which she immediately take baths in Rie's room... And so, I waited outside with Uni for Myu to finish up.
