A Glimpse of Necessity (Elite Rendezvous Arc)

[Ch 2, Act 9] The recruit.

Inzagi finally arrives at the hospital, to say goodbye to the three ladies, for a while.

"Ah, welcome back Inzagi, did you finally get a job?" — Hecate sarcastically asked as she smiled, still lying down

"Ah, yeah, that's why I'm here. I'm here to say goodbye, while I finish this quest." — Inzagi smiled as the three ladies swiftly sat up

"Seriously?" — Sumiko asked, with a sense of sadness in her heart

"That was quick" — Syu said as she looked rather bummed out

"Ah, yeah, sorry— But, I don't think I can rely on you guys that much. You guys have jobs too, and I want to improve, to help you guys with those jobs, soon." — Inzagi said as he smiled

"Pfft, well, if that's what you wish, then we won't stop you" — Hecate said as she throws a sack at Inzagi

"Ah? What is this, Lady Hecate?" — Inzagi takes out a green diamond from the sack, confused of what it was

"It's a communicator... If you find yourself in major trouble, just say my name to the diamond, and it'll open a portal for me and Sumiko." — Hecate said as she smiled

Inzagi smiled brightly, as Sumiko threw a key at Inzagi. Inzagi swiftly catches it and is confused.

"What is this, Sumiko?" — Inzagi asked

"It's the key to Ruru's spectre motorcycle. You can have it, she doesn't use it anyway. The motorcycle itself can turn into a blade. So, if you find yourself without a blade, then, use that. You can find it by pressing the button on the key" — Sumiko giggles as Inzagi smiles

"Ah, guess it's my turn to give something, right?" — Syu chuckles

"A-Ah, you don't have to, lady S—" — Inzagi gets cut off, as Syu hands Inzagi an envelope filled with money

"In case you starve, find the most expensive restaurant and don't just eat in it. Buy the entire restaurant, for yourself." — Syu chuckles, as Inzagi was amazed by the care of the three ladies for him.

"Thank you, the three of you... I don't know what I've done, to deserve this much..." — Inzagi almost teared up, from joy, remembering that just last week and a few days ago, these elites were unaware that he even existed in this world.

"We wish you the best of luck, Inzagi..." — Sumiko smiles, as she hugs Inzagi tightly

"Come back soon, will you..?" — Sumiko said, having a subtle tone of worry and longing.

"I will, I will. When I do, I'll make sure the first thing I do is to hug you, Sumiko." — Inzagi smiles, as Sumiko blushes deeply and looks away.

"O-Okay, I look forward to it..." — Sumiko leans her head on Inzagi's chest as she looks down. Inzagi chuckles and pats Sumiko, as the two ladies cherish the view they're watching.

"Alright, you must get onto your quest now~" — Syu said, as Inzagi nods and heads out, waving goodbye to the three ladies.

Inzagi smiles brightly, as he walks through the halls of the hospital, towards the exit of it. Once Inzagi finally exits, he presses the button of the key, to see a motorcycle automatically drive in front of him, from the main shrine of the city.

"Woah... This is some extremely high tech stuff." — Inzagi says, as his eyes sparkled at the view of the motorcycle.

Inzagi gets on the bike and it begins to talk

"Kindly, put fingerprint, here." — A tablet rose in front of Inzagi as he pressed his thumb on the screen.

"name, Inzagi Rier, rank, Rook. Initiating: Introductory AI." — the bike said as Inzagi was completely amazed, as the crowd of people were in awe of his vehicle
