[ A giggle. That's what it is heard when this device starts recording... At first it was dark, until a female voice is heard. ]

Don't play with that. Go back with the others and play with the camel.

[ Yes, that's the voice of Zena, who is unaware that this device is recording for now. Now the video feed shows the classroom with little kids. They are around the age of five or six by how they look, and they are all playing with a camel.

Yes, a camel.

Hassan watches them for a while, perhaps with a small smile on her face. Until she finds out that one of them is sobbing the corner. She decides to approach them and knelt down to see him better. ]

What's wrong, little one?

[ The kid looks at her with some big eyes. ]

I-I'm scared, Teacher... There are bad things happening...

[ Oh, so he watched the TV. Zena sighs a bit and resumes her neutral position once more. ]

If you are scared, it will only be worse. Rest assured that nothing will harm you as long as I am here. Now, why don't you play with the camel too? It'll cheer you up.

[ The boy smiles a bit and runs to play with said animal. Hassan then quickly erases her aura when she feels something dangerous coming at her. Some seconds later, a man holding a gun breaks into the room causing panic among the children. ]

Everyone, close your eyes and hide behind the animal. I will handle this.

[ Before the man could brag about anything, Zena was already behind him with a knife in his neck. Like a mother protecting her children, this was the same thing. ]

May your soul find peace.

[ The screen goes black once more, and then there's silence. ]

D-did you just...!?!?!?!?!?!?

[dissipates]

[ the reply comes some minutes later. ]

Speak clearly if you want me to answer you.

[breakingtraditions]

[In case he wasn't clear enough.]

DID YOU JUST KILL SOMEONE!?

video;

[dissipates]

I damaged him deeply, but I didn't finish him off.

video;

[breakingtraditions]

That's almost the same thing! You can get arrested for that!

video;

[dissipates]

While killing him would have been better, in this position I am right now that was the best thing I could do.

[breakingtraditions]

[Okay arguing with these people are just hard at this point so he's going to focus on the other thing.

FOR NOW.]

T-the children, are they alright?

video;

[dissipates]

They are. They didn't witnessed anything that could have hurt them.

video;

[breakingtraditions]

[SIGH OF RELIEF.]

Phew, that's a relief...

video;

[dissipates]

Are you related to them at some extent?

video;

[breakingtraditions]

N-no, I'm just worried about them, that's all.

video;

[dissipates]

What's your name?

video;

[breakingtraditions]

Tsunayoshi Sawada, ma'am.

[BEING FORMAL BECAUSE OH GOD HE DOESN'T WANT HER TO KILL HIM.]

video;

[dissipates]

Hm. Call me Zena for now.

[ Since it's the name she goes by when she's not wearing that mask. ]

video;

[breakingtraditions]

...For now?

[.../headtilt.]

video;

[dissipates]

I go by many names.

video;

[breakingtraditions]

...Why do I have the feeling that you're not the normal kind of caretaker...?

video;

[dissipates]

Because I am not.

[ THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. ]

video;

[breakingtraditions]

...well, that's... good to know.

[kitsunemimi]

While it would be prudent to ask why someone who is in charge of taking care of children would have such a dangerous weapon in their possession, it is clear that you made one of the better choices in defending your pack.

video;

[dissipates]

I always carry a knife with me, it is part of what I am. As I told the children before, as long as I am with them, I'll protect them.

video;

[kitsunemimi]

You should teach them the proper etiquette of handling a weapon! Ah, but that would be inappropriate, wouldn't it? Eheehee.

video;

[dissipates]

[ There's a low laugh at that. ]

I am more familiar with that kind of teaching than the one I am supposed to do in this era. Spending time with them hasn't been so bad.

video;

[kitsunemimi]

Right! I'll be sure to leave all the teaching to you! Tamamo may make a great role model and a fine example of what every blossoming young girl should be, but teaching isn't one of my many diverse strengths!

video;

[dissipates]

I admit that I have my own doubts with this kind of job at the beginning. The way I used to live was completely different than this.

video;

[kitsunemimi]

It seems like you're making progress. Though I personally wouldn't get into the more gruesome manners of what to do with the enemy after they have been dispatched. Honestly, not at least until high school!

video;

[dissipates]

The kids have not seen anything. Their souls would be tainted and I want to avoid that.

video;

[kitsunemimi]

Ah. Right. That whole cloak and dagger thing, and not tainting innocence thing.

video;

[dissipates]

Who might you be?

video;

[kitsunemimi]

Tamamo!

video;

[dissipates]

I see. You have my thanks for your help.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...Well done. Are you in need of any assistance?

[video]

[dissipates]

[ w-was that some praise... ]

I appreciate the offer, but I will have to decline for now. It would be the best if the authorities of this place only realized that it was me the one that damaged him.
