"It is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face, Cloud Strife-kun" - Johannes said with a smile - "My names Johannes von Schicksal, CEO of the [Fenrir: Far East] Branch."
". . ." - Cloud narrowed his eyes at hearing the familiar surname, but said nothing - "The pleasure is mine."
Johannes smiled when he heard this, but shook his head when he noticed the look Soma was giving him - "Well, I guess introductions will take until later, now I have to get back to work."
Soma let out a snort full of disdain, but averted his gaze when he noticed how Cloud was silently watching him.
"I guess that's my cue to retire too" - Tsubaki said only to shake her head - "We'll talk later, Lindow, Cloud..."
Sakuya frowned when she noticed the indifferent expression Tsubaki gave her, only to snort in disdain at her former colleague's indifference.
"OK, that went better than I expected" - Lindow muttered as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Better?" - Soma asked with a frown.
"Those two didn't start a fight with their [God Arc]." - Lindow replied earnestly.
". . ." - Soma decided it was a better idea not to comment at this time because he felt that if he did, he would only be spreading their leader's stupidity.

"Target located, initiating operation."
The sound of a robotic voice echoed in the room as a screen came on all at once.
Two silhouettes, and noticeable by their figures to be female, stood silently waiting for their new orders.
"It's a pleasure to see you again" - said an older man with completely white hair.
"The pleasure is mutual, director" - said the younger of the two women, a pretty girl of about 16-18 years old. She had silver hair, wore a red beret, a plaid skirt of the same style, and finally a semi-open sleeveless leather jacket that only covered the area of her breasts, showing much of her great cleavage.
The second woman just kept silent while waiting for orders. She had sea-blue hair, red eyes and a knockout body. She was wearing a uniform similar to her companion's, only instead of wearing red, she wore blue.
"Tatenashi, why don't you greet your foster father?" - [Fenrir]'s Russian Branch director asked.
"Sorry, I was thinking about the past, father" - said the now mature Tatenashi.
8 years had passed since she had come into the world and she still had no news of Cloud and Houki, something that worried her a little]. She had a slight suspicion of where Cloud might be because she had heard rumors of a new rising star, but it was best not to rush things because it was possible that she would only end up being disappointed to meet someone else.
But back to her life in this world. The first thing she did when she came to this world, was to explore the surroundings only to find to her surprise how a group of [Aragami] were devouring a small group of civilians who were unable to escape. As a human, she could only do one thing, summon her [IS] and tear each of the beasts apart, saving a few civilians in the process. After a few minutes, a group of [God Eater] appeared on the scene and arrested her for being a stranger with unknown weaponry. She was imprisoned for two weeks as she didn't want to talk about the origin of her weaponry, though things changed after she talked to the Director of the Russian Branch of [Fenrir], who ended up adopting her to the surprise of many.
"Are you still thinking about those two..?" - The Director asked as he looked at his adopted daughter. He had heard how his Tatenashi had parted ways with two of his friends, though at first he found it strange that she said it was possible that they were not in this country.
"Yes... it's been 6 years and I still have no information about them" - Tatenashi said as she frowned.
The director held his throat uncomfortably as he looked at his adopted daughter - "The truth Tatenashi, I have had information from one of them, but I hadn't given it to you because I thought you would stay away from me..."
". . ." - Tatenashi gave her adoptive father a blank look, only to sigh regretfully - "Father... you've taken care of me all these years as if a fierce your real daughter, it's impossible for me to leave you just like that, even if I find my two friends..."
The Director just gave her an uncomfortable look before sighing - "I'm sorry, Tatenashi... I know it's possible that you think I did it because I didn't want such a promising recruit like you, to leave Russia, but it's not because of that, but because you are the only family I have left and I didn't want to lose you."
"Father, you don't have to give me excuses, I understand your actions" - Tatenashi replied while shaking her head - "I'm not angry or anything like that."
"I'm glad to hear this because I thought you'd hate me for keeping this information from you" - said the Director as he let out a sigh of relief, only to cough falsely when he noticed the look his adopted daughter's young companion was giving them - "Ahem! Anyway, I called them because it's time for us to start with this operation of utmost importance, a mission I'm sure you'll be glad about, Tatenashi!"
"?" - Tatenashi tilted her head in confusion, only to widen her eyes in surprise when she read her target's information - "I understand... I will complete the mission to perfection."
Tatenashi's red eyes glowed with excitement as a familiar image appeared on her monitor - "Come on, Alisa-chan, it's time for you to meet the boy I've been telling you so much about."
"Ok, teacher" - said the girl known as Alisa as she walked behind Tatenashi with an expression full of curiosity.

"It's an interesting mission, don't you think so, Garm?" - Asked a beautiful woman of about 18 years old. She had blonde hair, light pink eyes and was wearing an ancient medieval style uniform in white with blue that was open at the chest part, showing much of her cleavage.
"I told you that you don't need to call me by my title, Sofia-san" - said a beautiful woman with dark brown hair combed in a ponytail that was parted in two and reached her firm buttocks. She was wearing a blue skirt, black panties that showed off her delicate legs, a blue military jacket that did nothing but tighten her prominent curves to the point that she looked like she would explode at any moment.
"I'm sorry, Shinonono-san" - replied Sofia with a gentle smile - "It's just that since I was little I've been taught to show respect for other people."
Houki just shook her head as she let out a sigh. Sofia Victorious was a good friend, but she had the problem that she was too formal even though they had known each other for a good few years.
"Lady Gleipnir! Lady Garm!" - exclaimed a girl as she ran up to where two of the most important women around were chatting, after all, thanks to their constant successes, they had been promoted to commanding general of two of [Fenrir]'s most important attack squadrons.
"What's wrong, Beatrice?" - Sophia asked with a smile.
"I've come to give you the additional information on your new recruiting mission" - Beatrice said as she handed the two women a couple of documents.
"Strange, they usually send us the information straight to our communicators" - said Houki while frowning.
"I guess it's because it's possible that someone could intercept the information" - replied Sofia as she tilted her head, only to open the document - "OK, it's cute, I admit it."
Sofia commented this without thinking about it, but her expression changed when she noticed how her friend and companion was looking at the picture with her hands shaking - "Houki?"
"I found it..." - Houki said as she felt her heart pounding - "I finally found you..."
"Was it love at first sight?" - Sophia murmured as her eyes glittered slightly. It was common knowledge that Houki was a mountain that many men in the place wanted to climb, but to her misfortune, she remained steadfast, immovable and cold to her advances, so seeing her react this way was something that pleasantly surprised Sofia.
"He's the guy I told you about" - Houki said with a red face - "Cloud Strife..."
"Oh, that explains a lot" - nodded Sofia with a smile as she clapped her hands. Now she understood Houki's reaction, after all, she had told him how much she loved that boy they had parted, and it was obvious that those feelings hadn't disappeared, but had grown over the years - "A pity because he was cute."
"If you want I'll introduce you to him" - Houki replied as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Ara?" - Sofia could only say that as her cheeks reddened with embarrassment. She really didn't expect to receive that proposal from her friend.
