Hana's POV

While I wait for my cute master to wake up from slumber, an annoying beast appears and invades my building.

-Tcchhh! (Hana)

At the same, 21 appears at the door in front of my room and informs me.

-Head maid, that girl has arrived in front of our door. She wanted to meet you, head maid. (21)

-I will arrive shortly. (Hana)

I arrive at the front door to see the hateful pervert beast.

-Yo! (Industria)

I sneer at her.

-Hey, don't look at me like that! I should be the one angry here since you messed with my date yesterday. (Industria)

The beast I mentioned was the goddess called Industria.

-That's the right thing to do! If I were late, you would totally put your hand on Farah. (Hana)

The pervert tries to look away and avoids my eyes.

-I don't know what you are talking about! (Industria)

-... (Hana)

I smile and ask her.

-You are not in the beast form like yesterday? (Hana)

-Ehem, I only show it to my wife and close people. I don't want to show it to others. (Industria)

The girl tilts her head and asks me.

-Why do you ask about that? (Industria)

I smirk and reply to her.

-I think that form fits you most. (Hana)

-Eh? (Industria)

-Since only a beast like you would be in heat all over the year. (Hana)

-Yooouuu! (Industria)

Industria's face turns red because of anger.

-Hah! I don't have time for a joke. (Industria)

She looks at me with serious eyes.

-I want to hear the answer to the invitation. (Industria)

-... (Hana)

I turn back at her and try to go back inside to house.

-I never think your invitation is trustworthy at all. (Hana)

-Why? (Industria)

-How can a group appear out of nowhere and claim that they want to protect the master? I think it is really absurd. (Hana)

-... (Industria)

-It's really more like a convenient reason that you make up to trick me into accepting that invitation. (Hana)

I answer her with a firm voice.

-My power is enough to protect my cute master. I don't need additional help come from you guys. (Hana)

She sighs and says to me in a tired voice.

-Hana, I don't think you can protect Farah by yourself. (Industria)

I become angry and turn to that girl. The nanomachines come out of my body and turn into many guns. I order them to point at Industria.

-Are you suspecting my power? (Hana)

-It's not that! (Industria)

Mists come out of her body and wrap around all the guns.

-You should know we are at the bottom of the power ladder, Hana. There are uncountable entities out there stronger than us. (Industria)

Industria walks toward me.

-You can't protect Farah with just only your power. (Industria)

-I can. (Hana)

-Don't be stubborn, Hana. (Industria)

Industria points at me.

-This is not just your fight, but our fight. I also want to protect Farah from all the incoming danger. (Industria)

-I...  (Hana)

Industria puts her hand in the pocket and takes out a black envelope.

-I will let you see a fragment of the apex. (Industria)

The moment she opened the envelope, a terrible aura came out. The aura takes a form of a shadow and approaches me.

-What...? (Hana)

The things that Industria released made every nanomachines in my body scream. They want me to run away from this place as soon as possible and never come back.

-... (Hana)

Am I scared?

-No, I can't be scared. (Hana)

I clasp my hands and make them bleed. How could I run away from this place?

-I will destroy it! (Hana)

I make my nanomachines inside my body...No; I force them to work at maximum capacity.

-Huh! (Hana)

I will never run away from here because my cute master is sleeping right behind me.

>Finished analyzing. Activated counterattack. (Hana)

White energy comes out of my body and destroys that dark aura. I have wasted 90% of my power to create an energy counter the aura.

-Ughh. (Hana)

To destroy of aura that comes from that person, I have wasted this much energy. I have no choice to but accept the truth.

-I am still weak. (Hana)

-You know your weakness now. (Industria)

I glare at the girl in front of me.

-Don't be like that! I just point out the truth. And I want to let you know there are many entities stronger than that aim at Farah. (Industria)

-...Fine. I will accept the invitation on one condition. (Hana)

-I can only fulfil it if it's not too unreasonable. (Industria)

-I want to meet the one that sent the invitation. (Hana)

Industria smiles and replies.

-Oh, that? I can fulfil it right away! That one has expected you to come sooner or later. (Industria)

Industria creates a mist gate and invites me to come along with her.

-She is beyond this gate. (Industria)

-Okay. You are also going with me, 21. (Hana)

21 appears from behind the door and walks to my side.

-I will follow your order, head maid. (21)

I stare at the mist gate and walk inside with 21.
