"You can't join the Anti-Demon Corps through traditional means. It is an all women organization, so just having you as a janitor is pushing it a lot already. But rest assured, you'll have your chance to shine. Until then, they who don't work do not eat as they say."

"What she said makes sense to a degree. She even went out of her way to inform the school of my situation. Since I don't have family, the only other person she would have to mention this to is Gramps. But......WHY AM I STUCK INSIDE WITH A BROOM?!"

To say that Nagisa was upset would be an understatement. First he was separated from his best friend after being caught in a Mato Incident. Then he gets offered a place to stay and a chance to fight against the Shuuki, only to end up cleaning for most of his time here.

"Hah, the fact you have to ask that just shows you have a lot to learn, newbie. Luckily for you, i'm feeling nice and will gladly show you where you stand."

The moment Nagisa turned around and saw it was Yachiho, the boy just kept sweeping as if no one was there. One of Yachiho's eyebrows twitched in annoyance as she tried to get the boy's attention. When she poked Nagisa from behind, he merely walked faster as he kept sweeping. After this process continued for about thirty minutes, Yachiho was seen panting as she was exhausted from chasing Nagisa around.

"I think I made a lot of progress with the cleaning. Oh, you're here?"

"DON'T PLAY COY! YOU KNEW I WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME!!!"

"You were? I just thought the trash was sentient for a moment."

Nagisa kept walking away from Yachiho, leaving the girl with a look of annoyance on her face. Plus his monotone voice only made the insults worse since it made it sound like he didn't have a single care in the world. Soon Yachiho turned around as she began to stomp towards the exit of the base to meet up with the chief.

"This is why you aren't liked by anyone!"

"......."

As Yachiho stormed off, Nagisa was only in silence. While he kept on sweeping, he began to think back on his days at school. He always hung around with Yuuki, but he never really talked to anyone else since all they did was complain and bug him with their problems without even asking if he's willing to listen. Or even worse, trying to ask him to pay for lunch and they knew they wouldn't pay him back.

"I........ I don't think I'm disliked."

"Oh, Nagi-chan. Good morning."

"Already got a nickname for me, huh? Wakasa-san, are you and Azuma-san going out for a mission?"

"No, it will be Yachiho and Chief Tenka going out to debrief your situation. Since we're located at the southern gate, we get a lot of Shuuki attacks just like the southwestern demon gate. So while they're gone, we'll be holding down the fort."

Since Mato is a different dimension the size of Tokyo, it is divided into eight directions and an Anti-Demon corps base is stationed there. Each one of these bases are protected by a Barrier so Shuuki can not enter the facilities.

"Oh yeah, before I forget. Chief Tenka wanted me to give you this. So here, take it."

As Sahara said this, she had Nagisa hold out both of his hands and close his eyes. The moment he complied with the girl's request, he felt something being placed into his hands. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pitch-black sword sheath in his hands. The moment he held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, he began to unsheathe the blade.

Nagisa couldn't help but admire what Sahara handed him. In his hand, he held a katana with a black blade that has a deep blue outline. The handguard was hexagonal shaped with a bronze core and with an overlapping red fuschia border. However, what really drew his attention were the words Destroyer of Demons on the side.

"The chief said this should suit you better than just a wooden sword in case you need to defend yourself against Shuuki. She said it was made by some guy in a weird mask."

"I see.......thanks. I'll take go-"

Before Nagisa could finish his sentence, both Sahara and himself felt the ground shaking for brief moment. As the two of them looked outside, they saw a five Shuuki standing at 190 centimeters. Each of them varying in shapes, some being muscular with arms the size of trees. Others were extremely slim while their arms and backs were covered in spikes.

"Haha. Looks like i'll be the first one seeing you put that new sword of yours to use."

"Ok.....i'm counting on you, Wakasa-san."

~Meanwhile~
"I never thought I would see the day when a chief and her right hand would come to this humble dojo."

As Bang was finishing his daily training, he turned around to find Tenka and Yachiho inside of his dojo. Tenka simply smiled as she explained how Nagisa was going to work as the janitor for Unit 6. Bang merely nods his head as he turns back around to continue training.

"I must say, you made the right move. A man joining the corps would cause an uproar, and the government would probably step in to take care of things. Not only that.......this gives me hope."

"Hope? What do you mean, Bang-san?"

"Tenka Izumo, Azuma Yachiho. Watch Nagisa closely, for I believe he will be a good example of the thing humanity became blind to once Peaches were discovered. That thing is the potential for evolution."

~With Nagisa~
"Take this!!!"

Just as one of the Shuuki tried to slam its giant fist onto her, Sahara caught the fist and began to lift the beast up in the air. Soon the girl began to spin around as she slammed the giant Shuuki into the rest of the horde with enormous arms.

Crazy Sheep. This ability lets Sahara strengthen herself for the duration she set beforehand, the shortest length being sixty seconds and the longest length being one hour. The shorter her duration, the stronger Sahara gets, but once the duration ends...Sahara can't use Crazy Sheep for 3 minutes.

"Heh. Looks like three minutes was enough for them."

"Normally i'd take a nap now but I still have one minute left. I wonder how Nagi-chan is doing. He must be stru-"

"Water Breathing, Tenth Form:Constant Flux."

Nagisa performs a continuous flowing attack, which seemingly resembles a water dragon, that increases in strength and power with each rotation due to momentum. Left and right, Nagisa was cutting through the Shuuki that were protruding with blades and spikes. However, just as he did this, Sahara's eyes widen in shock.

"Look out, Nagi-chan?!"

Behind Nagisa was a Shuuki possessing great height and a powerfully built physique with blade-like protrusions sticking out of its arms and legs. Its skin was green with the red, dot-like design extending from its shoulders reaching down to its arms. Its most unique trait was its monstrous face that was identical to that of a true spider, with several eyes and large pincers for a mouth.

"I wasted too much time watching him fight. Nagi-chan! Ru-"

"Water Breathing, Fourth Form:Striking Tide."

Just as Sahara tried to warn him, Nagisa performs a multitude of slashes in a flowing fashion to release multiple consecutive slashes. Just as the boy landed on his feet, the Shuuki's body was suddenly cut into large pieces of flesh. While Sahara could only look in shock, Nagisa looked at the sword in his hand.

"A real sword makes all the difference. I can do it.....with this and everything i'm learning, i'll kill these Shuuki and make it back to Yuuki. Then....then...I'll see if I can find Aoba in here."

"Nagi-chan!!!"

Just as Nagisa turned around, he was met with a tackle from Sahara as he found himself trapped in a hug by the girl. Meanwhile Sahara was smiling from ear to ear as she couldn't help but be impressed by what the boy did.

"I can't believe it, you really killed those Shuuki without having any abilities! You're amazing, Nagi-chan!"

"C-can't.......b-b-breathe........"

When Sahara heard this, she noticed that the boy's face was sitting in the middle of her chest. With a hint of red forming on her face, Sahara quickly let Nagisa out of her hug as she turned around. Soon a yawn began to escape from her lips as she was starting to get sleepy.

"You were amazing. Let's head back to base....I'm feeling....sleepy....Nagi."

Nagisa simply walked over and got in front of Sahara. The moment he squats down, he simply looked at the girl. With a soft smile forming on her face, Sahara got onto Nagisa's back as she softly nuzzles her face against his back while he walked the both of them back to the base. Though his face couldn't be seen from Sahara's perspective, a soft chuckle could be heard as he mumbled something.

"At least wait until we get to base before you go falling asleep........Sahara."
