“What?” Number Nine asked in total disbelief. Never in her life did she imagine a day when a card soldier would dare to be so disrespectful toward her. She has been a bodyguard for centuries and has served many rich and pompous kids but no one dared to disrespect her, until today. The most appalling thing was this kid did not even have a status equal to those pompous brats yet he had the audacity to challenge her authority.

“You heard me, grandma, I dare you to do what you claimed,” all three of the clones looked at Number ten with scorn as one of them repeat themselves while at it they did not forget to mock Number Nine and address her as grandma.

“You-” Number Nine was about to threaten the boy but then stopped and glancing at the in charge of the enemy semi-demigods she said, “Torture him, kill him, do whatever it takes to get your comrade’s corpse we won’t stop you. Number Ten, We are leaving.”

“This…” Hearing Number Nine’s rash words Number Ten was embarrassed, especially for letting a junior lead her by her nose yet he chose to bear with her as she was his senior and because he knew exactly how to handle her when she gets like this as sadly this was not the first time Number Nine had forgotten the mission priority and gone off-road by letting her sense of pride get in the way.

Number Nine could see that the clones of the boy were purposefully provoking his senior sister as if he was buying time, Number Nine did not know why the boy would do this so he decided to play along even though it meant him letting Number Nine continue to make a fool of herself.

“Semi-demigod Agatha, I will have to trouble you with the access to leave heaven’s sanction,” Number Nine asked Agatha, and then seeing her junior not move yet she yelled, “Number Ten, don’t make me repeat myself.”

“Sure, you two are free to leave heaven’s sanction,” Agatha answered to Number Nine showing no worries about facing three semi-demigods by herself, as long as they were not Lich, he had her ways to come out victorious in a group fight.

Hearing Agatha, Number Nine nodded politely and glared at her junior who did not seem to show any notion of following her words. She asked, “Number Ten, what are you waiting for?”

Number Ten showed no signs of listening to Number Nine’s arrangements so she lost her patience and spoke grudgingly, ” I did not want to pull ranks but it seems  I have to remind you that as the senior agent among the two of us, I am in charge here. So unless you plan to rebel, you do as I say. Clear?”

“Senior Nine, don’t take offense but considering the situation, I have to remind you of the Bandrock field dungeon incident,” Number Ten finally used the magic words that would pierce Number Nine’s armor of ego and pride, reminding her of the Mission and its priority.

“How dare you bring that up?” Hearing her junior bring up the only but most embarrassing black spot in her resume, Number Nine was enraged beyond words but then she calmed down, that was the effect of her memories of the Bandrock field dungeon job.

“Wait, hold up. So it was you who caused the Bandrock field dungeon incident? ” As Agatha said this unconsciously a smile formed on her face remembering the conversation between Demigod Windsor and Asong concerning the Bandrock field dungeon incident. Though Madam Asong was kind enough to hide the identity of the fool responsible for that incident, today Agatha could finally put a face and name on that fool.

“Agatha, what is the Bandrock field dungeon incident?” One of the boy’s clones asked Agatha seeing how Agatha was trying hard to surprise her laughter as spoke of the name of the incident.

“It is a hilarious- long story, I will tell you later,” Agatha was about to call the incident a hilarious story but seeing the ugly complexion on Number Nine’s face she chose her wording in order not to hurt her feelings.

“No, you will not, nobody will speak of that unfortunate incident,” Number Nine said hearing Agatha.

“Enough!” the enemy semi-demigods in charge yelled, unable to take the pointless argument among the allied forces and wondering if they were stalling for reinforcement.

“…” Hearing the enemy semi-demigod’s sudden outburst the clones and the allied semi-demigods went quiet and focused on him.

Seeing that he had gained the attention of all, the enemy semi-demigod regained his calm and said, “Gentlemen and Ladies, why don’t you continue your argument after we are done with negotiations.”

“Fine by me,” Before the allied semi-demigods could speak up one of the boy’s clones replied. Hearing the boy’s clones enemy semi-demigods could not help but look at them strangely as they had never seen such a peculiar hostage. It would have been entertaining if not for the pressing time, now it was plain annoying.

“You shut up,” Number Nine yelled at the clone that just spoke and then turned to look at the enemy semi-demigod in charge and said, “How do we know that you will follow the agreement and not kill the after you got your comrade’s corpse?”

“We can always make an oral oath with the world’s will and its rules as a witness,” The enemy semi-demigod in charge suggested.

“Fine, why don’t you start,” Number Nine asked the enemy semi-demigod in charge to take the oath he just suggested.

“Not so fast, how do we know you or the forces will let us go after you get the boy?” The enemy semi-demigod in charge said asking the allied semi-demigods to also take an oath to assure them that the allied forces would stand by their world.

“Fine, both our teams will take oaths with the world’s will as witnesses.”
