Chapter 379 ( Conversation - I )

Two hours had passed since the group had gathered and at this moment they were once again at the base of operations of the [First Unit]..

[Sapphire] was looking around curiously because it was her first time entering a human military facility, although that didn't take away from the fact that she was on her guard up because she was prepared for any situation.

"Relax, they won't hurt us" - said Cloud as he noticed the very upset attitude of his subordinate, something he sensed through their unique connection.

[ . . .] - [Sapphire] gave him a glance before nodding, though she was still waiting for the precise moment to counterattack.

"It's strange, I never thought I'd have an [Aragami] as a guest in our base" - Lindow said as he looked at the [Yan Zhi] curiously, only to notice how she looked back at him, or at least he thought so because the [Aragami] didn't have her eyes uncovered.

"Trust me, you're not the only one" - Sakuya muttered as she looked at [Sapphire] with narrowed eyes.

[Sapphire] gave the woman a glare, then walked behind her leader.

"She's like a guard dog" - [Tatenashi] said curiously.

[Sapphire] looked at the blue-haired woman curiously, for some strange reason, she didn't feel hostility towards her and the brown-haired girl, which was strange.

"How odd, she doesn't seem bothered by your presence, Houki-san" - Sophia said with surprise because they had tried to approach the [Yan Zhi], only to feel her go into a state of alertness, at least with everyone but Tatenashi and Houki.

"It's because of our unique connection with Cloud" - replied Houki calmly because it was the most obvious reason.

"Makes sense" - nodded Tatenashi as she approached [Yan Zhi] and looked at her curiously.

[Sapphire] returned her gaze as she felt the blue-haired woman try to bring her hand closer. She was surprised for a second or two, but her expression relaxed as she felt the woman stroke her feathers - [?]

"They're soft" - Tatenashi murmured as she felt how a cool aura surrounded her - "It's like air conditioning."

Sophia tried to approach, but to no one's surprise, [Sapphire] started growling fiercely at her. She quickly backed away as she looked at the blue-haired woman with jealousy, after all, she too was curious about [Aragami].

Cloud watched this with a blank stare, only to shake his head - "Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a patch so I could cover my eye?"

"An eye patch? Do you want to become a pirate?" - Lindow asked as a teasing smile appeared on his face - "Or maybe you're looking to block your dark demonic powers?"

Cloud rolled his eyes at his former leader, only to notice how the latter screamed after feeling his butt being covered by an ice cube.

"Ha, very funny," Lindow muttered as he gave his friend a blank stare.

"Don't look at me, I didn't tell her anything" - replied Cloud as he noticed the hostile look from his subordinate - "By the way, she understands what they're trying to say."

"Oh, that explains a lot" - nodded Lindow as the others resisted the urge to laugh.

"I can hand you one when we get to the infirmary, but for now you'd better close your right eye to prevent trouble" - Sakuya said calmly.

Cloud again shrugged his shoulders as he followed the woman's instructions.

"What do we do with [Yan Zhi]?" - Sophia asked as she looked at [Aragami].

"[Sapphire], her name is [Sapphire]" - Cloud replied as the [Aragami] nodded.

"Ok, what do we do with [Sapphire]?" - Lindow asked as he looked at the blond.

"Let her do whatever she wants, just don't attack her and you'll feel like she doesn't exist" Cloud replied calmly.

"Ignore her?" - Sophia asked as she raised an eyebrow curiously while looking at the [Aragami] - "Are you sure about this?"

Cloud nodded without saying anything else because he was sure that [Sapphire] wouldn't do anything wrong.

"No disrespect, but I don't think it's a good idea" - Sophia replied as she shook her head - "[Sapphire] is calm right now, but that didn't mean she will be in the future. We can't leave her unsupervised."

[Sapphire] looked coldly at the blonde woman for she had sensed the hostility in the woman's words - [My lord, may I kill her?]

"No" - Cloud replied almost immediately.

"What was it you asked?" - Houki said curiously because the only one who could understand the [Aragami], was none other than Cloud.

"She asked me if she could kill her" - Cloud answered as Sofia shivered because she knew about the difference between abilities between the two.

"Somehow, I saw it coming" - Houki muttered while shaking her head - "As for what we'll do with her, we'd better take Cloud's advice and leave her alone, after all, I don't think it's a good idea to piss off an A+ rank [Aragami]."

"Ok, we'll let her do what she wants, still it's not like there are many [Aragami] in the area" - Lindow replied as he took Sophia's hand to try to calm her down because he could see how she was shivering, although he understood that this was due not to fear, but to the icy aura that [Sapphire] was releasing - "Cloud."

"[Sapphire]" - Cloud said calmly as he noticed how [Sapphire] 'snorted' disdainfully before withdrawing her icy power.

"Cloud, I think we have a lot to talk about, but we'll do that after we run some tests and leave [Sapphire] in a safe place" - Sakuya said as she looked at the blond, then looked at the other women.

Tsubaki nodded firmly when she heard this because she also wanted answers.

"Ok" - Cloud replied simply as he instructed [Sapphire] to make a burrow outside the facility.

[Sapphire] was annoyed when she heard this, but quickly calmed down, after all, this was one of her leader's orders. With a quick movement, she took one last look at those present before returning to the entrance.

"She's like a domesticated dog" - Sophia said as she shook her head - "She only listens to her owner though."

"That's a good analogy, but let's leave that for another time" - Cloud said as he followed Sakuya towards the infirmary.

"I think it's a good time to inform the guys about Cloud's return" - Lindow muttered as Sofia nodded.

Hours had passed, and by now Lenka and the others were waiting outside the infirmary.

"Is Sensei okay?" - Lenka asked with concern because it had been quite a while since they had seen their instructor.

"I have no idea, but Cloud-san is strong" - replied Kota as he narrowed his eyes.

Alisa just kept silent as she waited for the 'guest of honor' to show up at the party so she could get some answers because the situation was a bit strange.

"I see we have a few guests" - a familiar voice said as the door to the infirmary opened.

"Sensei!" - Lenka exclaimed excitedly, but his expression changed to one of concern when he noticed how the blond was wearing a patch over his right eye - "What happened to your eye?"

"Let's just say I had a little accident during my trip" - Cloud answered as he looked at the young man he had trained for a while - "But well, let's leave that for another time, now let's have a little chat about your little girlfriend."

"!" - Lenka blushed when he heard this as Kota rolled his eyes at him. Alisa kept her silence, but she was looking curiously at the blond man as she looked for some change in him.

"Do you need anything, Alisa-san?" - Cloud asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"No, though I'd like to talk to you later," Alisa replied calmly.

"Alright, I'll ask Tatenashi to call you when she's done talking to the others" - Cloud replied as he nodded, then looked at the young men - "It hasn't been that long, but I feel like I haven't seen them in years"

"I feel the same way" - replied Lenka as he looked at his instructor.

"I know you want to talk to me, but I have some business to take care of, I promise to see your progress" - Cloud answered seriously.

"Ok" - nodded Lenka with understanding, then told Kota to follow him.

Alisa stared at him for a few seconds as she debated with the idea of staying or following her companions.

"You can stay" - Cloud said calmly as he entered the infirmary again.

Alisa followed him and noticed how all the women who had a relationship with Cloud were gathered together.

"It's a surprise to see Alisa here" - Sakuya replied as she raised an eyebrow at the sight of the girl from Russia - "I thought you were going back with the others?"

"Let's just say there are some things I have to meet" - Alisa answered seriously.

"Well, she's right" - replied Tatenashi while nodding - "Ok, I guess we'd better start with the medical results."

"Ok" - nodded Sakuya as a serious expression appeared on her face - "According to the medical reports, Cloud-kun doesn't have any kind of disease or mutation, in fact, his genetic makeup is completely human, which is strange."

Cloud said nothing, after all, he was aware of how omnipotent his new transformation Skill was the moment he regained his human form.
