Chapter Nineteen

It was a cool late-autumn evening as Chiyo made her way to the Animus center. She looked at the board to see which halls were available for use. Ten halls open for the first-years. Eight were at max capacity, while the other two were also nearly full.

“It would appear many of the students are preparing for the Co-op tests,” Kaitō reasoned, appearing on the board.

“I would prefer a more secluded area,” she stated, using the board to reserve a private room.

“Will Kaiden be able to access the private rooms?”

“He’s a rank two, so it’s one of his privileges. He shouldn’t have any problems, but we’ll have to send him a message and tell him.”

“Tell me what?” Chiyo looked back to see Kaiden enter the hall. “We having a surprise party?”

“Good evening, Kaiden.” She greeted him while continuing to work on the screen. “Good timing.”

“I can be punctual on occasion, and I’m always down for a quickie when available.”

Chiyo gave him a puzzled look, and he gave himself a quick knock on the side of his forehead. “I’m talking about missions, in this case.” He looked at a board which now displayed a visual of an Animus pod. “Don’t think that’s even possible in one of those. I don’t think they really have the space for it.”

“Charming,” she retorted dryly. “Have you used a private room recently?”

“A private room? For like a party or something?” he asked.

Chiyo sighed. “I usually find your obliviousness of the rules and regulations a refreshing change of pace, but the fact that it extends to things that can be helpful to you is a bit concerning.”

“What’s she talking about, Chief?” Kaiden asked aloud.

Chief appeared, floating in the air, “She means an Animus private room. As a rank two, you can make a reservation once a week to use one.” Chief turned to address Chiyo. “Sorry, Ms. Chiyo, he doesn’t speak over one hundred I.Q.”

“Ms. Chiyo? Why are you so respectful to her and not to me? I never got a sir or captain…I’ll even settle for a mister.”

“The difference is I actually respect her,” Chief stated bluntly. “Funny how that works, isn’t it?”

“And I thought we were doing so well thus far,” Kaiden whined.

“You gain and lose that respect every day. You used to be here.” Chief hovered at around chest level, then lowered slowly to hover near the ground. “Currently, you are around here.”

Kaiden glowered at the EI for a moment. “Hey, Chiyo, you wanna trade EIs?” he asked flatly.

Chief turned an annoyed red, his eye furrowing. “Your polls continue to drop, buddy.”

“As much as I find Chief to be an interesting…personality, and your EI implant a marvel, I am quite happy with Kaitō.”

“I am fond of you as well, madame,” the fox EI murmured appreciatively.

“You see? He’s also a super smart EI, and he’s nice,” Kaiden grumbled.

Chief floated up to the board and looked at Kaitō. “He’s also a fox. You can’t trust foxes.”

“Really? You gonna pick on him for that?” Kaiden huffed.

“Is there something wrong with my design?” Kaitō questioned, looking around his frame.
