It has been a little while since Zai alongside TEMPUS was dispatched to explore the world for any signs of the High Society's whereabouts. Currently Zai alongside Hakka and Shinri were in Germany, staying in an abandoned building to wait for the rain to stop as it was midnight. The three were discussing on the progress so far as they had no other options until they could come up with any new information.

Shinri: "So, any luck on the whereabouts?"

Hakka sighed, feeling like he just wasn't lucky on his part.

Hakka: "Nothing... We searched through France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and now Germany, no luck on our part. All we can do is wait for more information..."

Sonzai: "What about Norway?"

Hakka: "Nothing there either, though it was the closest we have gotten since we managed to find one of their more recently used facilities, but that was abandoned, like as if they knew we were coming..."

Sonzai: "That's a shame, I really like Norway."

Shinri: "Well, so far all we have accumulated is that the High Society is blending in with the Human societies while making their move. Yet how sure are we that they are in Europe still?"

Sonzai: "Not sure, but we still need to check the UK and Ireland before we can jump to any conclusions."

Hakka: "Great... More searching.."

Shinri: "I know you're bored Hakka, but there's nothing else we can do unless we get more information."

Hakka: "Yeah I know... My mamá is going to be really upset with me when she doesn't hear from me soon..."

Shinri: "You still live with your parents?"

Hakka: "I don't! I usually keep in contact with them and they are of course very aware of what I'm doing now. However she'll use her chancla on me when she gets the chance to..."

Hakka ends up having beads of sweat dripping down his face as he could imagine how his mother is going to react since he hasn't contacted her in a while.

Shinri: "Yeah yeah..."

Shinri was laughing at his younger companion's situation as he found it hilarious.

Shinri: "You're from Puerto Rico right?"

Hakka: "Yeah..."

Shinri: "I heard that a Puerto Rican mothers' Pegao is delicious."

Hakka: "Oh it sure is! It takes the heart and soul of our mamá to get it right. It ain't just fried rice as it is made with care and dedication! Maybe when this is over, I could invite the others of TEMPUS over for dinner! Mamá wouldn't mind at all!"

Hakka was going on with excitement and enthusiasm as Shinri couldn't help but laugh at his little antics, patting him on the shoulder.

Shinri: "That sounds like a great time, I might take you up on that offer Hakka!"

The two shared a laugh as the two seemed to be close friends, which Zai smiled softly to. Though something went through his mind as he couldn't help but feel a little down. The idea of family usually would sound fun for others, but for him, it felt non-existent from what he could remember. 

Shinri noticed Zai's behaviour change.

Shinri: "You good Zai?"

Zai ended up snapping out of his stupor.

Sonzai: "I'm fine, I need a bit of air."

Zai then stood up, making the two companions rather confused.

Hakka: "But it's raining outside."

Sonzai: "I'm not going out into the rain, I'm just going to stand close to the entrance so I can wait for her to get back."

The two got the idea as they agreed with Zai's decision, making Zai go to the entrance of the abandoned building, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He technically never really liked sharing his past so he used this as an excuse to try and calm himself. 

He stayed in this position for a couple of minutes, until he heard a particular sound he could recognize. He looked at the entrance, noticing someone walking in as she was covered in a bright light, only for it to dissipate as she seemed relatively normal. Zai knew about this person for a while, though he never had interacted with her until this particular mission that Tanigo set up for him. 

This individual he knew as Moona Hoshinova, a strange individual to him to say the least. She is someone who could be considered having two souls, like two people living in one body. Moona being the Human side as she originally was a college student before she ended up receiving the power of the Moon Goddess. Hoshinova is the Moon Goddess side which makes her possibly close to the power of the Council, but that couldn't really be confirmed as she had never fought the members of the Council, but mainly talked to the Keeper of Nature and the Guardian of Civilization.

Yet what makes her unique is the fact that when she switches between the two, there is usually two different personalities. When she is Moona, she can be rather upbeat and full of confidence. When she is Hoshinova, she usually speaks in a lower pitch, having a more ominous malevolent and provocative personality. Zai during this operation would usually talk to the Moona side and he is aware that she came from the Indonesian side of the world.

Sonzai: "You're back."

Moona: "I searched thoroughly when it came to Ireland and the UK. I think you'll like the results."

Zai got the idea as he led her to where Hakka and Shinri were as the two were elated to see her back. 

Shinri: "Welcome back Moona. How was the search?"

Moona: "I got better luck than I thought. The UK wasn't really much but when it came down to Ireland, I tend to notice some fresh tracks for me to follow. Even though I couldn't sense them, I knew it was them."

Zai: "So you suspect them to be in Ireland?"

Moona: "I know they are. They have a secret base somewhere there, but if we don't act now, they might move again and we don't want that."

Shinri: "I agree with her on this one. I suppose we should report this to Yagoo, we can't let this slide out of our grasp."

Hakka: "What about the others?"

Shinri: "They'll take too long to get here. We're on our own for this one. Hold on a moment."

Shinri then took out a Holographic caller as he placed it on the ground, activating it so that the call could go through the Tanigo's office, though when the call was received, it wasn't as they expected. The two that picked up the call was mainly two individuals that worked under Tanigo as they were recently assigned to deal with certain issues within the SSF, though the fact the two picked up was a miracle.

The two were simply very loyal and intelligent individuals. One of them being Enma, a black and red haired woman who had a calm expression as she was known to be one of the strongest Humans who works as a Manager under Tanigo's jurisdiction. The other being a blonde haired woman who is known as Jenma, a very caring and outstanding individual who tends to be rather cautious and wary about others and the environment around her, while also being a cheerful person.

Shinri: "Oh! Enma!? Jenma!?"

Shinri was rather surprised to see them suddenly as Enma responded.

Enma: "Hey there Josuiji Shinri. We just got back and Yagoo ain't here at the moment. What you need?"

Zai was the one who spoke next.

Sonzai: "Well we do apologize but we needed to inform him of the current situation."

Jenma: "Oh? What kind of situation?"

Sonzai: "It's about the investigation so far when it came to the High Society if Yagoo has mentioned..."

Enma: "I see. Well we can listen to what you all have to say and report to Yagoo about it."

Hakka: "That makes things easier huh...?"

Moona: "Well as far as things go, we discovered activities within Ireland. There is the possibility of a hidden base and I know where to track it, however the only issue we have is that if we were to get there at the wrong time, they might be already gone. We need permission to investigate that further."

Jenma: "That is quite troublesome..."

Enma: "Indeed. However I think I may have an idea. I'll allow you to proceed with the investigation."

Hakka: "Really?"

Enma: "Yes, however there is a condition. I want Zai and Moona to deal with it."

Shinri: "What about us?"

Enma: "You will be returning to your Headquarters situated in the United States. You need to continue and assist the rest of your group in the search for more information."

Hakka: "But why only send Zai and Moona!?"

Enma: "I can understand your frustration Banzoin Hakka. However if we send in all four of you, they'll get the idea that we're onto them. If we send in fewer numbers, it will make things much easier for us."

Sonzai: "I can't argue with that logic. Though, didn't Yagoo mention that you two were busy?"

Jenma: "Oh yeah... about that... We actually got permission to be at Vtopia for a period of time. Though we're being assigned to being assistant teachers for a short while."

Sonzai: "Really now?"

Enma: "We're not supposed to give information on a silver platter Jenma."

Jenma: "Oh. I'm sorry..."

Enma: "At any rate, you're allowed to investigate further, however if things escalate or anything, you both are strong enough to deal with it anyways. Just be cautious though, we don't know what our enemy is capable of."

Moona: "We understand. We'll report back when we get more information."

Enma: "Good. Now get to it before it's too late."

The call then ends, with Hakka sighing.

Hakka: "Great... I don't get to experience a little bit of action..."

Shinri: "What? At least you get to move closer to home."

Hakka: "Yeah I know but..."

Sonzai: "Hey Hakka. Listen to me carefully alright?"

Hakka was a little confused as he wasn't expecting to be lectured by Zai.

Sonzai: "There is a time where you could have fun fighting, and when you should take situations seriously. A lot is at stake here and I would rather follow what Yagoo and what his Managers say alright?"

Hakka: "Alright... I'll go along with it."

Shinri: "Well then, I hope you both can get what we need..."

Moona: "Trust me, us two is definitely enough. Come on Zai, we need to get to Ireland before it's too late."

Zai nodded his head as he left with her immediately. Though back with Enma and Jenma, who was in Tanigo's office within the Academy, Enma sighed as she adjusted her glasses, looking at Jenma with a serious look.

Enma: "Did you seriously need to tell Kukyona Sonzai?"

Jenma: "W-Why not? He deserves to know as well.."

Enma: "He doesn't. You know how much of a threat he is, since his family bloodline has been such a troublesome thing."

Jenma: "But the past is the past isn't it!?"

Enma: "Jenma, you don't know what happened to the Kukyona family do you?"

Jenma: "Well... No I don't really but I was informed that they were killed. Why?"

Enma: "You see... Kukyona Sonzai... Killed his own family."

Jenma: "W-What...?"

Enma: "Never mind. I don't need to explain myself. We might as well prepare for our first lessons tomorrow. Focus on what's going on currently."

Jenma: "Y-Yeah... You're right.."

Enma knew exactly why she didn't want to share information, though she knew Zai longer than most of the people around because of what she did for him. She didn't want to mention that she became an assistant teacher because it would technically cause more drama which she didn't want. Yet to her eyes, some things are meant to be left buried....
