" I have captured the creature's soul, sensei "

Mori spoke to her sensei, proudly, Death-sensei then turned to see Mori then greeted her with a pat on her head

" That's nice Calliope, but are you sure you've captured it? "

Death-sensei questioned.

" Yep I have its soul right here- "

Mori stopped speaking as she looked inside a sack where she had placed the phoenix's soul but it was never there, the sack was empty

" wha.. But I just had it a few second ago.. "

The death then slightly laughed the spoke

" I told you, she's not easy to catch, calliope "

He then slightly laughed then continued speaking

" That creature you found was the phoenix right? "

Her sensei asked, then she replied

" Yes, she calls herself a Majestic Phoenix, sensei "

" ah..right, right, Well, The reason why I asked you to do this job is because there's something about that Phoenix that I can't explain, either if its her majestic abilities or other meanings "

He then grabbed a bottle of red wine then offered it to Mori

" Since you did what I told you to, here's a little something from me "

Mori thanked her sensei then accepts the wine.

" Thank you very much, Death-sensei "

" And also..I have a feeling the bird will guide you one day, Calliope "

Death-sensei added

" I see "

Mori then said goodbye to her sensei and went home since her shift is over for today, She sat then placed the red wine her sensei gave on the table and opens it, She placed the wine onto a fancy wine glass then started drinking alone while watching the souls she and her sensei captured in the depths of the underworld

The next day, the apprentice sets off to reap souls, as usual when she realized something odd on the aura when she stepped on the surface, she felt the same aura when she met the phoenix, she suddenly swung her scythe from behind when she heard a noise coming from a few meters away from her, she prepares to slash the "thing" that is hiding but then the "thing" came out and spoke

" Wait wait! "

Mori then stopped and familiarize the voice..

" Bird? "

" I told you I am a phoenix! "

The phoenix exclaimed again to Mori

" Oh right right, whatever phoenix "

Said Mori, she suddenly realized the phoenix was hiding something from her left wing, she wasn't sure if she was hiding something on purpose or not.

" Hey, what'cha got there bird? "

Mori asked the phoenix then the phoenix answered with a shaky voice once again

" Oh uhh.. T-this? Well its nothing really just a scratch "

" Ya sure? "

Mori asked again then the phoenix answered.

" yeah, its no big deal "

" Lemme see then "

Mori spoke then slowly went close to the phoenix, when the phoenix noticed that Mori was getting close, she suddenly backed off from Mori

" N-no! "

The phoenix exclaimed, Mori was surprised then slowly backed off as well

" Uhh.. Okay okay "

Silence filled the area...

" I should go now bird, I still need to do my job so- "

As Mori spoke, The phoenix exclaimed

" let me come with you! "

" uhh no, ha.. Not gonna happen bird "

" Oh c'mon!! "

The two argued back and forth until Mori gave up.

" nyehehehehe!~ "

The phoenix laughed proudly as Mori looked away when she lost

" Say, bird do you even have a name? "

Mori asked then the phoenix answered with a proud voice then amazingly poses

" I am Takanashi Kiara!~ The majestic Phoenix in this realm!~ "

Mori burst into laughter when Kiara poses

" What the heck?! Hahaha!! Damn! "

" Nyehehe~ "

What Kiara didn't realized that she accidentally showed the bruise she had on her left wing.

" ah sh-t! "

Kiara then hid her left wing then looked down, Mori was slightly worried towards the bird

" Ey, ey, I saw that bird, but I better go and do my job bird "

Mori spoke then Kiara spoke as well

" B-but, I wanna come with you, I won didn't I? "

Mori sighed then nods a bit as she started walking to do her work as Kiara follow her.
