Nana used a magic tool, called a Mirrored. It was a simple piece of enchanted glass. It was a small compact one. It reflected her face on it and she touches the glass so it could connect to who she wanted to talk to.

Ilise picked up the call " mama !! "

Nana : hi. Ilise.

Ilise : when are you coming home ? Are you going to bring the new friends you talked about to ?

Nana : you're that curious ?

Ilise : of course I am !!

Nana : .... Soon ?

Ilise : I'm waiting !!

" Ilise. "

Nana could see the guard that was hired. She only knew him as shadow demon.

" Your mother is calling."

Ilise : bye bye mama !

Nana : shadow demon. Right ?

" Yes.... "

Nana : nana. You can call me nana

Ilise: I'll go first !

And so there was only him and her.

Nana : ilise ok ?

Shadow Demon : yes. I protect her. That's my job.

Nana : thanks.

Shadow Demon: so you'll be home soon ? The girl misses you.

Nana : .... Maybe.

And the call hangs up.

Amira : she's not even yours.

Nana : don't be like that

Amira ; you do so much because of a Izuya. I can understand. But the girl, sympathy?

Nana: she's just a kid.

Amira shrugged " don't get near that guy ok ? I'm worried for you."

Nana : Shadow Demon ?

Amira : your fake husband. The things I hear from you. He's not safe.

Nana : I guess.

Amira : so. You'll kick estos ' butt?

Nana : eh ?!! You said estos made a good choice.

Amira : girl, of course it's because you can kick his butt.

Nana : I don't know much about him. Not even his powers.

Amira smiled deviously " but you'll do what you always do, don't you ? To win."

Nana : hehe. Of course.

Amira : I like it so much when you start threatening people to give us the information we want.

Nana : can't do that to our own. You want me court martialed ?

Amira hugs her by the back " don't worry !! We'll back you up. No one can bully you ! "

Somewhere else...

The General of the army Nana was in, read the letter " hmph. This girl. That brat sure found himself a tough girl. "

" General Deseri. That's mean. She worked hard. " Her assistant, Antosei spoke.

" You're mean. That girl worked from nothing to be an elite. Quite a story she is. She wrote me five letters just to get my attention. " This was the lieutenant general, Reaid speaking.

Antosei : Lieut Reaid. Surprising. It actually got your attention.

Lieut was the short name to be used for someone of his standing.

Reaid shrugged " the kid. Izuya. He is good. I was sad we had to lose him. Then I heard he actually got engaged before leaving. That kid even filled in her name to be left everything of what he had to her. Even I was shocked. "

Antosei : that's natural isn't it ?

Reaid : no, that kid is almost like he's a herbivore. Never looks at girls.

Deseri : not everyone is like you.

Reaid : at first I thought she was just desperate. I didn't think she actually joined the army. And even... Got herself spotted and wanted. That damn Ania even tried to poach.

Deseri : you returned her with a letter to keep her didn't you ?

Reaid : yup... And now I have to make sure I keep up to that deal.

Deseri : old foggy and your tricks. If you don't think she's someone to keep, don't hang her to there.

Reaid : she's good. Just a pity she a soldier. Would be better for... Other things.

Deseri: get your mind out of the gutter .

Reaid ; so mean. That's not what I meant at all.

__________________________________

And so she was allowed back to the main headquarters of where the Lieutenant General was.

Reaid waited patiently as she entered his room. She did her formalities , saluted and greeted . " Colonel Nana Hailarose. Elite Squad. Company 7 "

Reiad : at ease

So she did.

Reaid : you want to know who gave him the order to go out all the way to get ambushed ?

Nana : yes.

Reaid ; ever thought it might be me ? Might be the General ?

Nana : yes.

Reaid ; then what ?

Nana : when the war ends. I'll come for your heads.

Reaid : brave answer. Can you even take us on ?

Nana : there's more than one way to make someone suffer.

Reaid ; oh. A threat.

Nana : is that a confession ?

Reaid ; guts. You're unlike Izuya. That kid always just did as told. No opinions. If any, he was always the type to just act on it then tell me. Was kind of annoying at times, when he's like that.

Nana : .... Yes... He's ... Like that...

Reaid : you still miss him.

Nana : only reason why I kept our deal. You said I had to help take down Caper City so you will give me the information I want.

Reaid : will you quit ? After this.

Nana : .... Uncertain.

Reaid : A 5 year takeover was ended in over 4 weeks after your company was sent there. What did you guys do ?

Nana : ... ....

Reaid : its ok. No punishment.

Nana : we do things differently than other squads. We don't just go for the heads of important people in the military or politically.

Reaid ; then what ?

Nana : Threatening a few important people helps. Manipulate things a little... Make the internal weak so the outside can give it a fatal blow.

Reaid : that simple ?

Nana : not that simple. Infiltration of important people's house ain't that simple. They have a lot of soldiers patrolling a very big house.

Reaid : I see.

Nana : information.

Reaid : I didn't give the order. Neither did General Deseri. But... Izuya had a good friend in the academy.

Nana : Who ?

Reaid : Creo Wisen. He was the last important guy Izuya met. Didn't think to look into him ?

Nana : he said they met up just for a drink.

Reaid : and you believed him.

Nana : ... I didn't have a reason to doubt then. I wasn't... Colonel like now.

" Fair enough." Reaid looked at the envelope on the table " take it."

So she did.

Reaid : after this, promise me you'll do the right thing.

Nana : what's the right thing ?

Reaid : War first. Then, revenge.

Nana : .... And if I can't guarantee?

Reaid : then you force me do the inevitable. The thing you hate.

Nana : the thing I hate ?

Reaid : staying in the army more than your needs. I know what Eries promised you.

Nana : .... You can't do that.

Reaid : I am a Lieut.

Nana : .... I hate you.

Reaid smirked " there we go. You'll make the right one. "
