Date With Monarch

Chapter 14

After Isaya left, Shido sat across the table from Kotori as she quietly drank her tea.

Kotori: What do you want, Brother?

Shido: It's about Isaya.

Kotori: What about her?

Shido: It's just... I feel like his Spirit power might be making him. think irrationally. He killed someone without any remorse. I'm not afraid of his now, I'm afraid of what might happen to him later.

Kotori: That's because Isaya thinks the most logically. While Ratatoksr might not agree with what he did, people like Kyouhei and Reine understand why he did it.

Shido: Think the most logically?! He killed someone!

Kotori: But look at what he accomplished. Kotori took out a tablet and handed it to me. The tablet showed a green bar that was mostly filled.

Kotori: Nightmare or Kurumi's happiness meter. We monitor it all the time. The meter is heading towards the green zone. I don't know what happened between the two of them but I think this is a good thing.

Shido: But still.....

Kotori: Listen Shido, you may not like him, I may not like him, Ratatouille may not like him but he gets the job done. And this is what Isaya is talking about, he will save all the Spirits no matter what the cost.

[Present]

Shido sat on a bench in the swimsuit section of the department store as Tohka and Yoshino were looking around the store while Shido sat next to Isaya.

Shido: Hey....

Isaya: I heard what you said to Kotori.

Shido:?!

Isaya: Calm down. I'm not mad, but you have to understand what I mean. Kurumi gave me a bad situation and I dealt with it the best I could. That was the best way to minimize casualties. Whether you understand or not, I won't blame you. But you need to know, I did everything I could to save the Spirits.

Isaya looked at Shido who nodded.

Shido: I understand. But, let me give you some input on a few things, okay?

Tohka: Isaya! Take a look at this!

Isaya: Let's go.

Shido and Isaya got up while following Tohka who stopped at the yellow swimsuit.

Tohka: Can you believe how beautiful this is? Is everyone named Mizugi?

Shido: Umm...yeah, in Japanese.

Tohka: But, what is it? I mean, what are you supposed to do with it?

Shido: You really don't know? Okay this-

Origamı:MILItary .Lapped. Ultimate. Grind. Instrument. MI-ZU-GI,for short. It's a new anti-Spirit annihilation suit. When it's activated,the built-in realizer starts to charge it's driving force. And,the warhead is broken into it's molecular components and discharged. It easily cuts through Spirit armor,and destroys the target's body. So that,it can never be returned to it's original state.

Tohka dropped part of the swimsuit she was holding as Origami stood behind us.

Isaya: What's wrong with you?!

Origami: Oh look,Hermit.

Isaya: She has a name you know.

Tohka: What are you doing here?! What do you want from us? is it true? Did you bring us here to buy annihilation suits?
