Under the moonlight, Ace navigated through the tangerine fields toward the auto salvage yard. Stopping half a mile from it, he looked around just in case and summoned Emi and Da Wasp.
"You called master," Emi sultrily reported in a dark stealth uniform instead of her signature kunoichi shaman uniform.
Listening to Emi's intoxicating voice and seeing her busty figure, Ace recalled the fond mories of their ti together earlier this evening. It gave rise to unspeakable urges within him causing blood to rush to both of his heads. His breath beca a little heated and faster as his thoughts wandered thinking about having his way with Emi in the moonlit tangerine grove. However, he cald down and did not let his urges cloud his judgnt.
"Could you cut it out? You know master called us on a mission. So, why do you try to distract him with your profane act?" Da Wasp asked Emi in annoyance. Even though Ace managed to get Da Wasp to forgive him she was still mad at Emi for seducing their master.
As an act of superiority, Da Wasp hovered over Ace's left shoulder finding a good spot she got comfortable. Showing Emi, no matter what she would always be their master's first toy summons and favorite.
Emi did not respond to Da Wasp's provocation finding their master's heated sight on her body. She calculated that if she completed the mission soon, their master could use the rest of her summon ti to reward her. But she had a small worry about the mission.
"Rose, be nice," Ace admonished Da Wasp controlling the raw urges Emi stirred within him.
"Yes, master," Da Wasp agreed but did not an it. She could never forgive Emi for trying to steal their master from her.
"Master, are you sure you want to capture the Scavenger spirit? The reason the auto salvage yard has been cursling-free is because of it. If we capture it the auto salvage yard will gather negative emotions and attract curselings or even give birth to one," Emi spoke her mind revealing her concern. She feared that capturing the curse spirit would make things worse for the auto salvage yard it was guarding.
"You are right Emi, however leaving it alone is not an option. If its existence is known to the curse master community this whole town will beco a warzone for the curse masters who want it. Besides we can always check on the auto salvage yard and cleanse it periodically. I have thought this through and this is for the best," Ace assured Emi that he made his decision taking everything into account.
"Yeah, Emi! Stop being a worrywart. Your little brain can't comprehend Master's grand sches. Why don't you just stick to doing what you are told? Trust , it's for the best," Da Wasp comnted criticizing Emi for questioning their master's orders.
Emi did not bother to respond to Da Wasp, knowing the latter was jealous of her playti with their master. Now that her worry about the mission was cleared, all she thought about was how to end the mission as fast as possible such that, their master would use her remaining summon ti to help her get back at Da Wasp for her frivolous remarks and comnts.
Knowing Da Wasp was acting petty, Ace shook his head helplessly deciding to overlook it. He planned to talk with her and try to diate between the two after they finished the mission and returned. As for now, he decided to comnce the mission before their petty differences sparked into a full-out brawl and affected the mission.
"Alright, you've been briefed on the target and your role. Capture the target as instructed, and proceed with the mission without drawing attention. Switch communication to the status screen and rember, be professional. Move out." Warning the girls not to let their feelings affect the mission, Ace instructed them to begin the mission.
With Ace's order Da Wasp and Emi nodded in unison and simultaneously dashed toward the Auto salvage yard. Midway, Da Wasp entered camouflage mode while Emi took out a yellow talisman, and pinched it chanting in her mind, 'Invisible.' They chose to hide themselves not wanting to spook the target.
Ace stayed behind as his role was to extract them safely and quickly after the mission completion or if they run into trouble. Not to ntion, unlike Da Wasp and Emi, he was not trained to participate in such missions. Both their characters were elite assassins trained to fight in the shadows while he was a re high school senior.
He had the 'Apex Earring' but it was more for self-defense than actively putting himself in harm's way as risking his safety would be stupid because if he died it was ga over for them but if he survived they could always start over. It was a no-brainer.
During this mission, Ace decided not to share his sense with either of his toy summonses as he trusted them to carry out the mission successfully and planned to maintain communication through the status screen. Besides their target was a mortal-grade curse spirit. They weren't aggressive like curselings and this one in particular barely had any lethal skills. If things take a wrong turn he could always recall them or even reanimate them using a new body and ingredients.
Ace did not have to wait long, Da Wasp soon updated him on the mission through the status screen,
