Two days passed by.
Eiji felt bored at the house doing nothing, so he decided to go out to the market to buy some food or anything that he fancy's.
As Eiji passed by an open restaurant, he heard two men who was eating talking about something.
"Hey! Did you hear about the war!?"
"War?! There's war happening?! I thought..."
"Yeah! But more like a battle between nobility!
There's these two Counts that are always in bad blood, and because they border each other, they would always fight on who has the rights to the land!
And I from what I've heard, the two of them just had skirmishes, but it seems like something happen and it went into a full blown war!"
"Oh! But what about that..you know! 'The Sword That Watches Over Us!' thing!?"
"Well see, that's complicated, although that person said to not have any wars, it was interpretated as no wars between the great kingdoms, but this is something that is an internal matter, so only the kingdom itself should solve this war!"
"I see..!"
Eiji frowned at what he heard.
'That must've been the reason why Marco and Akai were given a task.'
Still, He felt that there should be a deeper reason besides territorial war that was rumored.
*Sigh!
But he could only sigh as he also acknowledges the fact that this war between two counts would probably go on for a while, until the kingdom intervenes or another huge matter erupts.
Eiji shook his head and decided to pay his food.
He has to buy something in order to not make it seem like he didn't stay there just to listen to their conversation, that would be awkward.
"EIJI!!!"
As Eiji walked away, he heard a voice shouting out his name.
"Huh?!"
When he turned around he saw Lime running towards him with a smile on her face.
*THUD!!
She jumped and hugged him.
He smiled and hugged her back.
As they separated, the smile on Lime's face faded.
"I heard about Renji.. I'm sorry I couldn't go, I had a mission and I just got back."
Eiji shook his head.
"It's fine, Newark and I got Renji the justice he deserves!"
"Hmm! I heard about it! Still I feel bad and sorry for Renji..."
"..."
They were silent for a while.
"So, what are you doing here?!"
Lime asked.
"Well, you know, I went to Breeze City without any permission or in vacation so I got in trouble and is in punishment, no work for a week..."
"That's a punishment?!"
She asked taken aback.
"Haha!"
He smiled at her silly face.
"What about you Lime?!"
"Well, I was on my way to the department, as we have another mission, then I saw you!"
"I see!"
"Lime!"
As they were chatting, a voice suddenly called out towards Lime.
"Eh?! Vice- Captain!?"
Eiji saw the person.
He was a tall and lean man.
He had a long brown hair.
Elegantly dressed, even with a nagagi as a clothing.
Over all he was a handsome twenty- ish man.
"Lime! I thought you were going to the meeting place?! Why are you here!"
Asking with he frown, he looked at Lime then at Eiji.
"Ah! I was! No! I am going to! I just saw a friend! We haven't seen each other for months!"
"Is that so... Then be fast!"
"Yes sir!"
He then turned and walked away, but not before looking at Eiji slightly.
"Sorry about that Eiji, that's one of the two vice captains of my team, Vice Captain Miura!
He's usually like that, especially towards me, but he's a good guy!"
Lime said, slightly sorry.
"Hmm, it's fine, I also held up your time, go on Lime!"
"Hmm... Okay.."
"..."
"..."
Although he said to go on and she said okay, the both of them still stood there and looked at each other.
"W..well, I'll go now!"
"Hmm!"
Eiji watched as she walked away.
But after two steps she turned back once again.
"Eiji! Let's talk once again after my mission, okay?!"
"Hmm! Alright!"
Eiji nodded and smiled at her.
Then this time Lime smiled and ran away happily.
Eiji also felt that today was a great day.
Despite what happened these past few days, still... Eiji felt today..was a really great day!
