Nica's POV
"Whoaah!" One word came out of my mouth. How majestic the headquarters of the Azalea Alliance was like a fairytale palace surrounded by blooming Azalea leaves and flowers that ran through every corner of the building.
Almost all members of the Amdis Alliance troops participated in this visit. We rode on horses and began to enter the Azalea Alliance headquarters gate.
As the name implies "Azalea" which means the Azalea flower that became the distinctive logo of this alliance.
We are welcomed with the Commander and Captain of the Azalea Alliance and his troops who are perfectly alert. I don't know who they are, which is for sure my superiors I have to respect.
We all descended from the horse mounts and raised our right hands in honor before the Commander and Captain of the Azalea Alliance. I, who was behind Squad Commander Clement and Squad Commander Hannah, only listened to the conversation between Captain Jan and Commander Lucian with the local Commander and Captain.
It seems so important ....
I saw the faces of the troops from the Azalea Alliance seem foreign. The average of them is about 170cm and above.
Louis who was beside me also similarly watched the troops from the Azalea Alliance with a sharp look. His cold and flat face pierced their eyes. Like a jury killer in a model competition.
Alexa who was next to Louis put on a half-sleepy facial expression because she was staying up late last night.
Rin who was a little far away from me, both eyes looked limp. I don't know, I sensed that after yesterday's expedition, she turned away from me.
I wanted to ask this question, but it was hard to ask. My brain is full of questions from those who try not to want suudzon, and vice versa.
If I don't want to, there will be a lot of negative thinking, hmm ....
The morning sky began to shine. The sun rises from the East and illuminates the cool and beautiful city of Azalea.
We the troops were ordered by Commander Lucian to blend in with the Azalea Alliance forces before he left us in the yard of this sprawling base. He followed Commander and Alliance Captain Azalea into a room by passing through a fairly open corridor, so that sunlight entered and illuminated the corridor.
Several squad commanders, including the Commander of the Clement Squad also followed the movements of Commander Lucian and Captain Jan. They seem to have to talk about a very important issue.
I was silent for a few minutes, watching Commander Lucian and Captain Jan along with several other Squad Commanders who started walking and disappeared from my sight as it got further and further away. Me too while holding the rope of the horse I was riding,
A beautiful white horse.
He seems confused about me now.
"Oi!" exclaim Louis. She surprised me who was daydreaming so I said words of bouncing as she patted me on the shoulder.
"Shock, huh?" tanyakanya.
"Yes obviously surprised et dah!"
"Sorry."
"What, anyway?" I asked in a slightly raised voice, without looking at the form that was now standing next to me.
"Why yourself?" askalanya.
Dihs.
"Babies!" ketus.
"Don't you see around you?"
I immediately turned right–kiriku. Some people look at me in wonder. Their eyes were as if they were looking at a madman in the middle of the world. It turned out that I was the only one still standing in the middle of the spacious courtyard while being with a beautiful white horse with full confidence.
So stupid!
"okay!" I said as I moved straight away leaving Louis in the middle of the courtyard. I directly led my white horse to the special stables that were already available.
However, something came to mind.
"Where's cage?" I asked Louis. My steps stopped instantly and turned towards Louis.
"That!" he answered while pointing at the stables with his index finger.
"Okay, thanks!" I answered while taking my horse away. He sniffed every time I pulled the rope that bound him.
Suddenly Louis ran after me who was walking towards the stables.
He accompanied.
There was silence between the two of us. I am still ashamed of what happened just now.
Arriving at the stables, Louis helped me tie my horse rope in an iron handle so that my horse would not run away and move more.
"Done!" said it. He immediately closed the wooden fence that only covered part of the horse's body so that the face of my white horse could still be seen from the outside.
Louis and I went straight out of the stables and walked around the courtyard of the headquarters full of people from the Amdis Alliance as well as from the Azalea Alliance itself. Many of them interact with each other.
"Thank you so much for helping me!" I said.
"Yes" he answered briefly. "By the way, why are you daydreaming?"
"Nothing."
"Don't lie to me!"
"Yes, I'm not lying!"
"I know you're lying!" Louis insisted.
I let out a breath.
"OK, okay" I said. "I'm just confused."
"You realize no, anyway, that Rin since after the expedition yesterday changed his attitude drastically?" my many.
"It's not just me that's aware of it" Louis said.
I didn't think it wasn't with me that Rin behaved like that. Even Louis is the same.
"It looks like he's hiding something."

Clement's POV
"Regarding the expedition yesterday," said Luna, Commander of the Azalea Alliance. "News of the matter had spread widely throughout the alliance yesterday."
It was suddenly quiet in this meeting room. There was only a clockwork sound that moved around every second of it.
"Yes" said Lucian. "However, there's a strange thing that happened yesterday."
He immediately placed a fang in a ziplock pack on a rectangular meeting table. All eyes are on the object.
"Greer members are already investigating these fangs" he explained. "However, it's still a mystery."
"This web was found at the scene of the death of demons mysteriously," continued Jan.
"It's weird" said Hans, Captain of the Azalea Alliance. A perplexed look while observing the ziplock wrap that contained those mysterious fangs.
"Indeed," said Lucian. "There are no animals around the forest."
"Especially the forest is filled with a lot of puddles and sucker mud."
Luna looked closely at the fangs.
"The left-wing team was also suddenly attacked by them with a gunpowder explosion" Hans said.
"I believe there is a mastermind behind the sneak attack that has toppled the entire left-wing team" explained Keiza from the Azalea Alliance.
"Well!"
"I'll try to observe!" said Jacob, as the Squad Commander of the Azalea Alliance. He immediately grabbed the ziplock containing fangs from Luna's grasp. "Maybe I can solve this problem."
He immediately observed the object while exerting his strength that could investigate the events that happened to an object just by touching it. Our eyes were all on Jacob.
"Aakhs!" Jacob seemed to have trouble investigating the matter. "I can't investigate this thing,"
"There's a very strong strange energy on these fangs!"
"Nil means" said another.
"We can still find this fang problem, for sure!" clement. "We can still solve this problem by going on a joint expedition to Kimo Village."
"I'm sure there's an answer there!" continued again.
"But to go on an expedition together" said one of the Azalea Alliance members. "The weather is not supportive!"
"Especially lately is expected to be a storm of the change of season," continued the man.
"We must be reckless!" firmly Luna. "If not as soon as possible, the demon kingdom will have more control over the larger human cities!"
"Yes I agree!" illyana. "As the days go on, the demon kingdom is getting more and more excited to rule the human world."
"With the Amdis Alliance and the Azalea Alliance working together for this mission, it would most likely be much stronger to defeat those with more abilities!" said Jan.
"May," said Clement while listening to their conversation.
"What about the morning?" ask Lucian.
"All right!" luna agrees to a joint expedition.
"Yes!" say the other.
"Are there any other questions or suggestions?" ask Luna.
Suddenly someone raised their hand.
"Maybe the mastermind behind the collapse of the left-wing team is him" said the man as he spread a folded piece of paper.
The fugitive demon, Tiberiu.
"It is known that he has fled his people and wandered around in a human environment based on a direct report from Garrison" the man said. "To prey on humans."
"Many humans suddenly disappeared in every region after the presence of him in the human environment based on the reports I got," he said. "It's still not known where he is."
"It could be that he disguised himself as a human being and joined as part of you" the man said.
All eyes were on the sheet.
"Do we have to investigate the large number of troops from the Amdis Alliance to be sure?"
"But everyone who wants to be a troop, must do a blood test and a physical test first!" hannah said. "It's impossible for any demon to disguise itself as an alliance army, let alone the extremely tight-knit Amdis Alliance!"
"There's no way Tiberiu could be the mastermind!" hannah continued with great confidence.
"We'd better watch this whole day" Lewis said. "And also should the quality of the Garrison organization in each region should be maximized."
"Because to find Tiberiu it takes a long time!" said. "It's just to anticipate."
"All right," said Luna.
"From now on each alliance will continue to investigate the Tiberiu's whereabouts via radar" he added. "And also joint expedition activities will be held after tomorrow morning at 06:00 exactly."
Luna immediately typed each number on the very old-fashioned desk phone, to contact the head of the National Garrison organization.
Clement looked at a sheet of paper containing data that the Azalea Alliance had obtained about Tiberiu.
This time I heard his name.
Still sounds foreign to Clement's ears.
About 2 hours of meetings talked about the expedition yesterday, meetings were dissolved and each got free time.
Several times Clement was invited by Jan and several other people to lunch together. However, his lazy soul rebelled and he wanted to enjoy his own time.
He's after a sweet treat in a small cafeteria.
Is the cake still available?
He walked towards the canteen. Because the location of the canteen was outside the headquarters building, then he had to pass through the courtyard of the headquarters full of troops. I saw Nica and Louis mingling with the rest of the alliance.
Along with Alexa the strange winged midget.
"Clement!" call Nica from a distance. Waving towards Clement who was walking towards the canteen. He was relaxing with a tarp like a picnic.
"Dam!" he replied to Nica's hand. He immediately approached them.
"Let's eat, Clement!" invite Alexa by putting on her childish face.
There was a piece of French bread and chicken cream soup in a large white bowl accompanied by smoke billowing over it. Not spared also from fruits that have been cut and made of white plates. Complete with food!
"Where did you get it?" ask Clement astonished.
"Hendrik served as a chef taking turns in the canteen" Simas said, pointing to a man known as Hendrik. He was wearing an apron and a dark purple jacket. "He did all this."
"Oh."
"Give Clement a place!" another exclaim, while shifting to provide a seat for Clement.
"No need," he said. "I'm looking for something sweet."
"Thank you and enjoy your lunch!" clement smiled as he left those who were sitting on orange mats.
"You too!" say them simultaneously.
He did not look back and continued to step towards the small cafeteria not far from his current position.
Arrived in a small cafeteria,
Full on!
"I ordered one piece of apple pie!" clement told a chef who was also one of the Azalea Alliance troops who was assigned to become a chef on a rotating basis.
"Well," he answered, giving Clement the piece of apple pie he had wanted. "Goodly enjoy!"
"Thank you!"
Clement immediately grabbed a piece of apple pie from his hand and headed towards the empty seat. Finally he found an empty chair staring at the outside window so that he could see the outside world that was quite bright. Enjoy a mouthful of apple pie with a small iron spoon.
Very enjoyable ....
This is what it feels like to live.
The taste of this apple pie reminds him of an age where he was still united with his family. I always make him a cake after lunch or dinner as dessert. However, his presence was only temporary. He disappeared without cause from Clement's life.
Clement longed for a time together with his family. However, now each one.
Each takes care of life.
