Area-1 Headquarters

After walking for one and a half hour finally reach the A-1 HQ. At first, I'm walking alone but now I'm with these two people, one is the girl named Vinna, she has blonde hair and blue eyes, she has a pretty and mature face too and a plain-looking guy and glasses named Hiro, he has black hair and brown eyes.

As we stand in front of a big dark blue gate, I notice the huge building with dark blue and red color. As we arrived, a small girl with black hair and golden eyes running towards us, as she gets close, she inhales and exhales first before speaking.

"Hello! three new members of A-1 HQ,.... huh three?"

"Is something matter?", I asked.

"No, nothing."

The two from my behind look at each other.

"Hmmm it should be two only not three", she murmured.

"....."

"Well it doesn't matter, let's go."

Finally, she let us in. As we enter headquarters, I noticed the dominant color of dark blue where the other color is red. The girl with as run towards upstairs and shouted.

"Commander!!!, they're here!!!", she shouted.

Few seconds has passed, a girl with dark blue hair and blue eyes arrived. She looks at us, and for some reason, she looks confused. She glared at the guy with glasses.

"I see you must the princess and the samurai's son right?", she asked.

"Yes"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander.", Vinna said and then bow slightly.

"And may I know your name too?"

She asked Hiro.

Before the boy spoke, Vinna stops him then speak instead.

"His Hiro, he's the one who wields Assassin's Amulet."

"Hello, I'm Hiro, I'm Vinna's friend-, personal servant."

"I see, so your planning to join?"

"Y-yes if I could."

"Hmm....."

The small girl observes the two.

"Where's your luggage?"

*Why I didn't notice, they don't have anything besides to themselves.*

"Oh, about that Ernesta? They arrived two days ago."

"Huh?"

"About that, Hiro suggested making our luggage arrived early since many outsiders are lurking around, bringing big bag might burden us if we come encounter one."

"You're the one who suggested it?", the commander asked.

"Yes"

"I see, the dinner is ready at any minute now, you can to go your room first to rest. Ernesta, could you bring them to their rooms.

"Aye aye! Commander."

The Commander back upstairs. The girl named Ernesta called us and bring us to our room.

________________________________________________________________________________________

"Here's your room Hiro."

After extending her arm to the door, Ernesta turns around and walks away. As I enter, I saw two bags above the bed, one bag is consist of my clothes and other necessary things, while the other bag is full of the equipment that I used to fight and protect myself against outsiders.

*Sigh*

"If I have this equipment, I may not struggle so much for killing one outsider."

I turn around and observe the room.

"I should clean first."

I look for cleaning equipment. I saw a cabinet in the corner of the room, near the door, as I open, I saw the things that I need.

After cleaning, I start putting out all things inside my bag then I observe again the room.

"Hmmm."

After thinking about where to put them, I started arranging them except for the candies, I usually eat them when I need to think deeply, I put them in my pocket.

After that, I lay down on my bed and try to take a nap.

*Wait, I forgot I have insomnia so napping is out of option.*

Then instead I start to think. Thinking about-

"Huh."

I hear someone tries to open the door. Since it's locked, the person behind the door just knocks instead.

*knock, knock*

"Hiro? Are you there?"

Its Vinna.

I stand up from the bed and walk towards the door. As I open the door, I immediately saw the blonde hair girl. She stares at me and smiles a little.

"Are you finish arranging?", she asked.

"Y-yes."

"Okay then."

After saying that, Vinna immediately opens the door widely and goes inside the room.

"Oh, as I expected. It's clean and neat but why you only brought this?"

"The lesser the things, the easier to clean."

"That again.", she pouted.

As we talked, Ernesta pokes her head inside the door.

"There you are, Princess."

"What's the matter?", Vinna asked.

"Dinner is ready.",

Ernesta widely smiles and walks away. As she walks, I and Vinna follow her.

________________________________________________________________________________________

After a delicious dinner, I go back into my room. I sat down on my bed and look at the bags and boxes, I haven't finished arranging them yet. In Moriai, mostly our maids are the one who does this, I rarely clean or arrange since there is someone I can order. Well, I have no choice. I'm going to ask for help now.

________________________________________________________________________________________

After dinner, I immediately go back to my room. I lay down on my bed and I close my eyes, after 10 minutes, I didn't even get sleepy.

*Sign*

Having insomnia is really a pain. Since I'm in a new place, I doubt that I could sleep at all.

"Hmmm."

I was thinking if I should take a walk for me to get sleepy. As I stand up, someone knocks on the door.

"Hey, Hiro, are you awake?"

It's Vinna again.

I walk towards the door and open it.

"Hey, what's the matter?", I asked.

"Well, I have a very little problem."

*I have a bad feeling about this*

"What's wrong?", I asked.

Vinna grabs my hand.

"Come with me."

She pulls my hands and runs towards her room. As we enter, I noticed that all of the bags and boxes they send here are not arranged yet.

*I see*

"Hiro."

"You want me to arrange all of that?"

"Yes."

*Why she looks excited about that*

*Sign*

"Is that a no?"

Vinna makes a look like a sad kitten.

*Darn, I can't resist with that looks*

"O-okay, since I can't sleep at all, maybe I should help you for me to get sleepy."

"Thanks."

She smiles.

"But before that, we should clean first."

"No need for that."

"Hm? Did you already clean?", I asked.

"No, Ernesta did."

"Huh?"

"Ernesta said she already cleaned all the rooms before we arrived."

*Seriously!*

"So I just clean for nothing.", I murmured.

"Did you say something?"

"No, nothing. Let start arranging now."

As I start, I pick the bag on the bed and open it, it's full of clothes of Vinna, then I go to the boxes, as I open the box on the left I saw..... I close it.

*Never mind that one.*

I open the box on the right and I saw some pictures of her with her family, most of them taken with her father and I saw the only one picture that she's with her mother. I after looking at all the photos, I grab the box and start arranging it.

After a half-hour, we finished arranging of all them, then I go back to my room. After entering, I lay down immediately on my bed and start closing my eyes, after 15 minutes...

"Oh shoot."

__________________________________

I wake up early in the morning. I wash my face and clean up my room, after that, I go into the hallway, the first person that I saw is Ernesta which wearing an apron. After continuing walking, she notices me.

"Goodmorning Hiroro."

"Hi- what, what?"

Opps I copied her.

"Hey, breakfast is ready anytime soon, what do you want for breakfast?", she asked.

"It is okay?"

"Of course! All member here is free to request to me, well as long as I can do that."

"If it's okay then, may I have a cup of coffee?"

"Oh, okay, do you want creamy and sweet?", she asked.

"Ah no, just black coffee with low sugar."

"Oh, that was rare for a teenager like you."

"Yeah, everyone says that to me."

"Okay then, black coffee with low sugar, coming up!"

Few minutes passed, Ernesta arrives with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Here you go, Mr.Coffee Lover!"

"Mr. what? well doesn't. Thanks... Ernny?"

"Ernny? What a silly name. Ernesta will be enough."

"Okay. Thanks for the coffee."

"No PROBLEMO! HIRORO!"

*That was more silly than Ernny*

As I say goodbye to her, I walked around outside.

"Ugh"

My head hurts because of lack of sleep. Having insomnia is really a pain, well I'm used to sleeping only for five to six hours but this time it's only three hours which gives me a headache. Good thing that I have coffee in my hand.

I take a sip of the coffee and start to walk outside, I notice Vinna, she's practicing.

*Better not to disturb her.*

I ignore her and walk in the opposite direction. As I walk continuously, I saw Greg also practicing with his katana.

As he swings his katana.

*Woah, that's fast.*

I almost can't see his katana, it looks like he's doing it for many years, compares to me that practicing assassination for one month.

I only start practicing when the father of Vinna decides to give me the Assassin's Amulet one month ago.

After sipping all coffee from the cup, I go back inside. I step inside, the Commander is already there.

I greet her.

"Goodmorning, Commander."

"Goodmorning Mr.Hiro.", she replies.

She looks around the place.

"Where's the other two?", she asked.

"They are practicing outside."

It's Ernesta the reply to her, poking her head behind the Commander.

"I see, call to them and also the other member."

*The other member?*

After five minutes of waiting, Vinna and Greg arrive from the outside, and there are other three who came out from the upstairs.

"You three, introduce yourself."

"Hello, I'm Vinna."

"Greg"

"Hiro, Hiro Sage."

Looks like I'm the one who gives a complete name.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Commander Elizabeth, the one who in charge of Area-1 Headquarters.", the Commander introduced.

The Commander looks at the other three. The three nodded.

"H-hello, I'm Lulu."

*A little kid?*

A little kid who looks like 14 to 15 years old introduces herself, she has long purple hair and green eyes, her hair hides her left eye.

"Yow."

A guy with black hair who wears black sunglasses greet but he's not looking from me or Greg but in Vinna. He walks toward her.

"Goodmorning, beautiful lady.", he said to Vinna.

He tries to hold her hands but Vinna slaps them.

"Ohhh, what a strong girl."

I'm pissed off with this guy.

"Tsk".

Vinna clicked her tongue and glared at him.

"Rick."

The Commander also glares at him.

"Oh chill two of you, you might ruin your pretty faces if you do that."

*Sigh*

The commander sigh.

"He's Rick by the way but you can call him trash.", Ernesta said.

"Hey!"

"Enough, you two."

Commander stops them.

"Hello, Mr.Hiro and Greg and Miss Vinna, I'm Darius."

A good-looking guy with innocent's looks and brown eyes and hair spoke.

"Okay, it's my turn! I'm Ernesta, the Vice Commander!"

"Yeah, this little girl here is actually 21."

Commander said while pointing her thumb to her.

"Little girl that actually 21 is here!", Ernesta said.

After the introduction, the commander spoke again.

"You three come to my office."

Commander call for us.

"For what?", Vinna asked.

"For an interview."
