Chapter 74 - Shadow Moon XV (1/2)
”It's time, go!” Said Ruby through the comm.
Arc was sitting on the sofa with Tiffa and Ash by his sides and Jarvis standing from behind him. There are many kinds of snacks in front of him he was very relaxed. there wasn't any worry in his face he was relaxing in the sofa eating snacks like he was just watching some movie, Ash and Tiffa are the same, they are devouring the snacks in front of them, Tiffa is even teasing him about Mia and other things.
Ruby and Jem are watching the movements of the shadow unit under them. Then she paused and said, ”Boss that's not fair I want to eat snacks too...”
Arc then look at Tiffa who was pretending she did nothing. ”Hehe sorry Boss she heard me eating while were talking, so I told her we're eating snacks while watching them do a good job,” said Tiffa sheepishly.
Looking at Tiffa he couldn't help shakes his head, he then said to Jem you can have as many snacks you want after this operation, the same goes to all shadow unit...
”Yay! You heard that guys do well and will be drowning in snacks soon hehe.” Said Jem happily.
Ruby couldn't help shaking her head at Jem as well as her Boss. Cough cough! Arc almost chock when he heard Jem motivating her team with a snack. He was so embarrassed he immediately changes the topic, Tiffa, on the other hand, was giggling non-stop beside him as for Ash he keeps his head down but clearly he's doing his best not to laugh, only Jarvis remains silent without any emotions on his face.
Arc looks at Tiffa and said to Ruby, ”Ruby looks like there someone here volunteered to become a shadow unit and be sent somewhere remote.”
Tiffa stops laughing immediately, and said: ”Boss I'm sorry I didn't do it in purpose.” But Ruby's response almost sends her to tears. Boss just send her over I have a mission in the far north that needs a team leader she would be perfect for the job.”
”Oh, that mission I really do think its perfect for sis Tiffa.” Said Jem.
”No! I'm not going, I'm not going, Boss, you can't send me I have a very important job here,” said Tiffa almost on the verge of crying.
This is a rare moment for them to have fun and conversing with their Boss, that even the always serious Ruby couldn't help but joins in. Even the emotionless Jarvis can be seen with a rare smile on his face. As for Ash, he tried to be as small as possible as to not get any attention but a smile is also hanging on his face.
Good thing Eve didn't let the conversation reach the shadow units that are having a serious operation. Otherwise, it would be a big loss of face.
Bang! That stops them from their conversation, a huge mutant that looks like a big humanoid lizard comes charging in front of a group of Shadow Units.
