Shadow Hunter Headquarters,

(Everyone comes to the hall for breakfast.)

Vice caption Rufuna was heading towards the hall, saying, "Those shadow beasts were really powerful yesterday. I didn’t even realize when it became dawn while fighting them. My body hurts a lot, and I’m feeling so sleepy. I’ll quickly have breakfast and then go to sleep."

(Vice Captain rufuna takes his food from the canteen, enters the hall, and looks for a place to sit but finds no available spots as the place is crowded. From a distant table, a girl calls out to rufuna.)

(“Hey, rufuna, I’m over here! There’s space!”)

(Rufuna goes to the table, sits down, and says,)

"Faiza, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me Vice Captain? We’re both Vice Captains, so just call me rufuna."

Faiza says, 

"I like calling you Vice Captain. And since you’re on Captain adrian's team, I always wished to be a member of Team Affiliate, but that wasn’t possible for me. I can only join a small team."

Rufuna says, 

"I’ve heard your team has some really good members, and you all get a lot of Shadow Beast hunting mission. 

Faiza says, 

"We mostly get small missions, and sometimes we can’t finish them properly. You guys always get big missions, and your team has some powerful members. But enough about that—can you still give Captain adrian a dating invitation? Your team has a lot of attractive members; haven’t you given anyone a dating invitation yet? I dream of marrying my first love and living a happy life, but no one has proposed to me."

Rufuna says, 

"Why are you bringing this up? I’m not interested in love; all you think about is that. I have a goal, and I don’t want love getting in the way of that. Does your team have any good-looking members? You just keep telling me how you don’t date anyone, and what about you? Haven’t you gone on a date with anyone yet?"

Faiza says, 

"You’ll stay single forever chasing your goals, and you won’t find a good guy. Life is about enjoying things, and you just work all the time. Have you ever gone anywhere for fun? Have you ever hung out with friends? All you care about is your goals. Tell me, what’s this goal that you’re clinging to? No good guy has proposed to me yet. So far, there hasn’t been anyone who has the courage to propose to me."

Rufuna says, 

"I can’t say much about that; it’s a personal matter. And if no good guy has proposed to you, then you can’t say anything to him. You get too shy to speak up. You just run away if someone proposes to you. If you can’t respond to a proposal, how will you ever find love?"

(Just then, Captain adrian walks by and overhears rufuna’s conversation.)

"What’s going on, Vice Captain rufuna? What are you two talking about?"

Seeing Captain adrian, faiza becomes speechless and her face turns completely red from embarrassment.

(As Captain adrian looks at faiza, her face flushes even more.)

Captain Adrian says, 

"You’re the Vice Captain of Team Dominion, faiza. How are you? I don’t see you around much. And where is your team captain Novan ? He’s not around either. You should tell your captain that he was called to the head office, but he didn’t come. Everyone is really angry with him, so let him know."

(Faiza, unable to say anything due to embarrassment, stays silent.)

(Captain adrian’s phone rings, and he picks it up.)

Captain adrian says, 

"Alright then, I have to go. An urgent matter has come up."

(Then Captain adrian leaves.)

Rufuna says, 

"What happened, faiza? You were talking big in front of me about what you would do, but now you can't say anything in front of Captain adrian."

(Faiza pays no attention to rufuna. She is lost in her thoughts, feeling ecstatic.)

Faiza says, 

"Today Captain adrian talked to me! This is going to be the best day ever. My face is turning red from embarrassment!"

Rufuna says, 

"Faiza seems to have lost her mind. If you like Captain adrian so much, why don’t you tell him? You froze up when he was in front of you. This is why you’ve never had a boyfriend."

Faiza says, 

"Enough about that! Today Captain adrian is talking to me."

Rufuna says, 

"So what? That’s a normal thing. Captain adrian talks to almost everyone. Just because he spoke to you doesn’t mean anything special."

Faiza says, 

"No, no! Captain adrian is talking to me, and you’re just jealous. I understand everything. He talks to me longer than to you!"

Rufuna says, 

"Come on, it doesn’t matter to me whether he talks to me more or less. I’m not jealous of him talking to you. Captain adrian doesn’t think of me that way. He’s not really attracted to girls. Anyway, I have to go now; "I didn’t sleep all night yesterday. I’m feeling really sleepy now. I’m going to bed."

Faiza says, 

"You have to go right now? Help me set up a romance with Captain adrian. I’m counting on you to make it happen!"

Rufuna says, 

"I can’t help you with this nonsense. I have a lot of other work to do. If you need help, just ask, but don’t ask me to do this."

Faiza says, 

"You can’t say that! If you don’t help me, who will? You’re my best friend."

Rufuna says, 

"Alright, I have to go now. I’ll see you later."

(With that, rufuna leaves.)

(Faiza sits at the table.)
