Still on top of the wall.

— At that time, he wanted me to be his girlfriend, but because he used the word "woman", I thought he was asking me to marry him — Rem said, laughing lightly. — I thought about it for two whole days and kept avoiding him. But then, I accepted to see what would happen... and I ended up having Mira. I don't regret anything!

Thais was embarrassed, looking at the ground. "How should I answer that?" she thought, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Takemichi's voice sounded over the radio, interrupting the moment:

— Mira, Raven, Sarah and Rem! Return to the base. You're going to the fifth division! The rest of the squad will be under Yan's command.

— And there he is! — Rem said, with a mischievous smile.

Thais looked at her curiously.

— This change in your personality... it's like Mira, Kay and Yumi. They also seem different when they face ghouls.

— A person needs to be different outside of combat. I taught him that, and he must have passed it on to them — Rem replied, shrugging.

— I see. Good luck in the fifth division! — Thais said, with a slight wave.

— Thank you! — Rem replied, waving back.

Soon, Alex and Brenda arrived with the helicopter, lowering the ladder for Rem to climb in. Before entering, she waved again, saying goodbye.

“I see... If she had accepted the proposal, the captain today would be Rem. Does that mean she is now on Captain Takemichi’s level?” thought Thais, surprised, as she watched the helicopter take off.

The scene changed.

Kay walked with heavy steps, being pulled by a chain. The handcuffs held his wrists, while the guards escorted him.

— Watch out for the bottle! — Kay said, looking at the officer in charge.

— Procedure, boy. Hold on! — the officer replied, in a serious tone.

— What happened to Gargamel? — Kay asked. — I switched cells and didn't see him.

The officer looked at him, hesitating for a moment before answering:

— Didn't he tell you? He was on death row. He was executed this morning.

Kay stopped, surprised. For a moment, the weight of that news hit him.

— I see... "How am I going to explain this to his cousin?" — he muttered to himself.

— Don't worry. That letter you delivered? He used it to say goodbye to his cousin — the officer said, in a softer tone.

Kay sighed and shook his head.

— It makes sense...

The prison gate opened, revealing a helicopter waiting outside. The officer removed the handcuffs and handed the bottle to Kay.

— You're free... for now. See you in a month! — the officer said, with a slight smile.

— Okay! — Kay replied, waving as he walked away.

“What a strange boy…” the officer thought, returning to the prison and closing the gate.

Raven, who was waiting outside, smiled when he saw him.

“Just one day! It was less time than I thought,” Raven said, with a teasing expression.

“Did you miss me?” Kay joked.

“Don’t worry!” she replied, rolling her eyes before getting into the helicopter.

“Welcome back!” Mira said, smiling.

“I’m back, love!” Kay replied, with a mischievous smile.

“Take your suit and uniform. Take off those prisoner clothes right now!” Mira said, handing the items to him.

“Thanks for that!” Kay said, petting her.

“I’m glad you had some coffee left to go!” Mira said, smiling back.

“That’s true!” Kay agreed, laughing.

— Get ready later! Let's go! — Rem exclaimed, rolling his eyes.

Kay and Mira blushed as Sarah got into the helicopter.

Once on board, Kay took off her prison shirt. Raven, upon noticing, quickly turned her face away.

— You idiot! Tell me first! — she complained, covering her eyes.

The girls turned around, leaving Kay to change in peace.

— I'm done! — he announced, as he put away the old clothes.

Raven pointed to a box in the corner.

— Your weapons are here too. The captain ordered you to train the divisions before returning. No funny business, you hear?

— Okay! — Kay replied, laughing. — While you're at it, I'll train you too, Rem!

— Thanks! I want to have wings too! — Rem said, excited.

— That was... random — Kay commented, confused.

Rem pouted in frustration, which made him sigh.

— No drama — Kay said.

— Just kidding! — Rem replied, laughing.

Mira handed him back his phone, catching his attention.

— There are a lot of messages there! — she said.

Kay took a look and smiled.

— They're from Emilia and Yumi! — he replied.

The helicopter continued its flight. It landed at the airport.

— It's not over yet, there are a lot of messages! — Raven said, looking at Kay's phone.

— Most of them are from Yumi, but the longest ones are from Emilia. She talked about the training they had and said she found Rem a little strange, but fun! — Kay replied, smiling slightly.

— I only touched her a little... girls form opinions very quickly! — Rem said, with a mischievous smile.

Kay looked at her, thoughtful.

— Anyway, they're happy — he commented.

— Their first boyfriend, I can understand why they're excited! — Rem said, laughing, but with a touch of nostalgia in her voice.

Sarah, watching the conversation, couldn't hide her surprise.

"What a confusing relationship you two are creating!" she exclaimed, with a skeptical expression.

"I think so too!" Raven replied, with an amused smile.

Kay grabbed her weapons, preparing to get off the helicopter.

"You're in the middle of this relationship too!" Kay said, laughing as she looked at Raven.

Raven rolled her eyes and, with a provocative expression, replied:

"Don't tease me!"

The three of them got out of the helicopter. Brenda and Alex began the fueling process.

"Let's take care of the helicopter, we'll go to the plane later," Brenda said, checking the fuel.

"Leave it to me," Alex replied, as he moved to the back of the helicopter.

They finished fueling and carefully locked the helicopter, making sure everything was safe for takeoff.

"Now, let's go to the plane," Alex said, waving to Brenda.

Brenda gave the helicopter a final check before heading with Alex to the plane.

Fueling the plane was quick, if a bit more involved. First, a fuel hose was connected to the plane’s tank inlet, allowing fuel to be transferred from a dedicated truck to the plane’s reserves. During the process, Alex and Brenda supervised closely, adjusting the controls and ensuring that everything was done safely.

With the fueling complete, the soldiers began boarding the plane. Alex took control of the cockpit, with Brenda at his side as co-pilot.

“Ready?” Alex asked, adjusting the plane’s controls.

— Always! — Brenda replied, with a confident smile.

The plane's engine roared, and after a brief acceleration on the runway, the plane took off. It headed for the fifth division airport, cutting through the sky towards its destination.

“I finished answering both of them,” Kay said, letting out a tired sigh.

“But we're already arriving at the fifth division airport!” Mira announced, pointing to the approaching runway lights.

“There were so many messages, and I couldn't answer them just like that!” Kay explained, with an exhausted smile.

“He learned it well. Good job with the girls!” Rem joked, laughing.

“I didn't teach him any of that!” Mira replied, crossing her arms.

Kay looked out the window, watching the plane land smoothly. “I didn't know Alex and Brenda knew how to fly a plane!” he commented, surprised.

“It seems they learned by reading manuals in their free time, when they weren't in combat,” Sarah explained, adjusting her seatbelt.

— Was this their first time flying a plane? — Rem asked, her eyes widening.

— Yes! — Sarah confirmed.

— That's crazy! — Rem exclaimed, laughing.

The plane landed accurately at the fifth division's airport. As soon as they disembarked, the group saw a helicopter from the base already prepared for the next stage.

— So, are we going to wear masks? — Mira asked, adjusting her tied-up hair.

— No. They already know my name, and the captain must have informed them about you. Besides, they know that I'm on parole. It's best to avoid that image to the leader of the fifth squadron and, of course, to Mira's father — Kay replied, seriously.

— Are you thinking about my father too? — Mira asked, with a smile.

— He really has changed! — Rem said, pretending to be excited.

— What a beautiful actress you are! — Kay mocked.

— Did you like my acting? — Rem teased, winking at him.

— By the way, Mira, aren't you going to ask permission to land at their base? — Ravena reminded her.

— That's right! Thank you, Ravena! — Mira said, hurrying to pick up the radio.

Mira tuned the radio to the first band. (Remember that the radio automatically connects to the country's frequency)

At the base of the fifth division

— Understood. They're almost here! — Captain Haruki said, turning off the radio. He picked up another transmitter to talk to his team.

— This is Captain Haruki. Permission granted to land! — he communicated firmly.

— Understood, Captain! — Mira replied over the radio.

Haruki turned to the soldiers in the mess hall. — Let's finish eating quickly. Let's welcome the guests! — he ordered.

— Yes, sir! — the soldiers responded in unison.

A few minutes later

The helicopter landed accurately in the base's courtyard. As soon as the propellers slowed down, Kay was the first to get off.

“What a quick trip!” he commented, stretching his arms to relieve the tension.

— Last time, we went from the sixth to the fourth division. It took much longer. From close divisions, everything is much more practical — Mira explained, getting off right behind him.

The other soldiers, including Alex and Brenda, also got off and lined up as Captain Haruki approached, accompanied by their squad leaders.

The captain of the fifth division saluted, followed by all the soldiers in the base. — Welcome! — Haruki greeted seriously.

Mira and her group returned the gesture in perfect synchrony. — Thank you for welcoming us! — Mira replied.

Haruki smiled slightly, breaking the stiffness of the introduction. — I thank you for coming so quickly.

— I don't know exactly how this will be, so I'll leave that part up to you to decide — Mira said diplomatically.

Kay stepped forward and extended her hand. — Finally we meet in person. I'm Kay, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Haruki shook her hand firmly. — I'm Haruki. It's my pleasure to have you here. I hope we can work well together!

"I can see that... These six are squad leaders. Gather your soldiers away from the base. Let's start training!" Kay ordered firmly.

"Now?" Captain Haruki exclaimed, surprised.

"The training is fast, so it's best to finish as soon as possible," Kay replied bluntly.

"But you just got here! Are you sure?" Haruki insisted, still reluctant.

Kay looked away at Mira, seeking confirmation.

"If that's what he's saying, then we can start now," Mira said with a confident nod.

Kay crossed her arms and glared at Haruki. "That's what our vice-captain decided. What do you want to do?" she challenged.

Haruki took a deep breath, accepting the situation. "Okay. We're available now, anyway."

"You don't need to bring your weapons. Just make sure everyone is wearing their suits!" — Kay said, gesturing to the soldiers.

“Will you need the trucks?” Haruki asked, indicating the parked vehicles.

“This base of yours is bigger than ours. I think using the trucks is a good idea. It’s less tiring.” Kay replied with a slight smile.

“Okay. Everyone is ready with their suits, but we just ate. So please don’t be so rigid in your training movements!” Haruki asked, a little worried.

Kay gave a half smile, conveying confidence.

“Don’t worry.”

The squad leaders moved quickly, organizing their groups. Orders were issued and the soldiers, already dressed, marched towards the trucks parked at the base.

The efficiency and discipline were evident, but the excitement for the training brought a touch of relaxation to the air.

“It’s really big here. Just walking around here would take a long time!” Sarah commented, observing the vastness of the base.

“If everything was the same, it would be boring,” Rem replied with a mischievous smile.

One of the trucks approached, slowing to a stop next to the group. A soldier in the cab leaned out and said,

“There’s room for you here!”

Kay stepped forward, holding out her hand to help the girls into the truck. Rem climbed in quickly, followed by Mira and Sarah. Raven and Brenda hesitated for a moment before accepting the help.

When everyone was settled, Alex approached, holding out his hand to Kay with a mischievous smile.

"What a gentleman! Are you going to help me too?" Alex joked.

The soldiers laughed, and Kay sighed before pulling Alex into the truck.

"Just climb in," he muttered.

Alex laughed as he settled in. With a final breath, Kay climbed in and closed the back of the truck. The engine roared and, slowly, the vehicle picked up speed, leaving the base behind.

The soldiers in the trucks exchanged curious glances with the members of the visiting unit.
