"Don't you dare come out!" Anna's sudden yell shattered the monotonous tune of the wind, sending a jolt of adrenaline surging through my veins. Whipping my head around, my eyes scanned the expansive canvas of the sky, searching for any intruding presence that might have triggered her outcry.

Sky Blossom's airspace, usually a tranquil domain, now took on an eerie emptiness, as if holding its breath in anticipation.

There was a heightened sense of urgency, as my gaze darted from one patch of sky to another, sifting through the pastel hues of the setting sun and the encroaching shadows of twilight. Was it just us in this airspace, or had some uninvited guest breached its boundaries?

My eyes strained against the sky's vast backdrop, seeking clues or anomalies, anything that might explain Anna's abrupt exclamation.

"No, I am warning you. I did promise you freedom. But this is not the right time for you to come out." Anna's voice continued to rise, each shout imbued with an escalating urgency. As she belted out her words, her grip around me constricted like a vice, an unmistakable signal that something was amiss. Triggered by this heightened state of alert, I engaged my soul pupils to discern the world around me.

My eyes, now enhanced, scoured the vast expanse of the sky, a panoramic canvas stretched taut between the boundaries of possibility and danger. Despite this ethereal form of vision, not a single soul revealed itself in the cloudless expanse. The sky remained as empty as a blank page, devoid of any signatures but our own.

The dissonance between Anna's fervent warnings and the apparent tranquility of the sky left me suspended in a tension-filled paradox, wondering what unseen threat had elicited such alarm.

"He is mine. And what's mine is mine alone. I will introduce you to him later." Anna's words became more hurried and urgent. And that's when I realized that she was talking to herself. With the newfound information, I was spooked. I know Anna is crazy, but I did not realize that she was really coo-coo.

"..." As Anna's hold on me got stronger, I had no choice but to be in her embrace and listen to her shout at herself. I did not dare to interrupt her crazy ramblings, remembering the massive power difference between us. I even started to breathe slowly to decrease my presence.

"I am telling you he is mine. And I will not share him with you." Hearing Anna's words, sirens went off in my head. Anna, claiming me as hers was not news to me. I was used to it, but her use of the word 'sharing' alerted me and got me curious. Who was Anna speaking to? But I scrubbed my curiosity as soon as it crossed my mind.

"Cough! Anna, drop me off here." having had enough of Anna's shenanigans, I finally decided to let go of my anger and asked her to drop me off as I could use my hoverbike to return. I just wanted to get as far as possible from this psycho.

"Okay," dropping me on a deserted street, Anna kissed my left cheek and vanished in the air.

*Sigh* Sighing at my fate for being surrounded by psycho women, I summoned my nanomorpher and followed the map show in grimoire heading towards the warehouse. To meet the only sane woman in my life, Susan.

…

"You did that on purpose. I wanted to give Wyatt a goodbye kiss too." Ann complained as they arrived at the Southern Watch temporary camp at D-rank silver beach gate dungeon.

"What gave me away, genius," Anna asked sarcastically. Not only did Ann wanted to be introduced to Wyatt but also wanted her to share him with her. Now that just asking to much. If not for her being her origin card, Anna would have taught her a death lesson.

"Anna, you are back— Big sis Ann, you are here too!" Luna was surprised to see Ann outside. After all, Anna kept her pretty much locked inside her origin card. And Luna seemed to have more respect for Ann than Anna as she addressed Ann as big sis, utterly contrary to how she addressed Anna.

"Hi, Luna. How are you doing? Come here, give your big sis a hug." Ann appeared to be more sociable, approachable, and fun to be with than Anna as she did not hesitate to greet Luna with a big warm hug.

"Isn't this a surprise? Little girl Ann. Where is this old man's hug?" Lorenzo, who had replaced Ann to fill the dungeon relocation apparatus with mental strength, noticed Ann and teased her.

"You will have to ask my grand-aunt about that, you perverted old man." Ann and Lorenzo seem to have a funny story between them. Seeing how the Girl Scout Ann addresses her elder as a pervert.

"Hehe, little girl, still a snitch, huh." From Lorenzo's words, Ann seemed to have told on him to his wife.

"Luna, use her in my place. I will go take some rest." Anna asked Luna to use Ann to fill in her shoes as he had to indulge in alcohol.

"Anna, where's Cortney?" Lorenzo asked, noticing that Cortney was nowhere to be found. Even though she left, calming that, she would return with Cortney.

"Don't worry. I have given her a masking card that should help her hide her physique from prying eyes. With Blood Supreme helping her, the demonic card apprentice nor we can capture her." Anna forgot about taking Cortney into custody with Ann's fiasco. In order not to admit her mistake, Anna gave a big speech stating that she chose to let Cortney be, trusting the Blood supreme's power.

"Oh, Anna, why lie for such little things? Admit that you forgot. Nobody here will think less of you." Ann being Anna's alter ego, knew when Anna was bullshitting and called her out in front of everybody.

This is one of the main reasons Anna did not like to let Ann out of her origin card because she knew all her deep secrets and had no calms about blurting them out to her friends and family. In front of Ann, Anna was an open book. And Ann did not care about keeping her personal matters personal.

"Agh! It has not been even an hour since you are out, and I regret letting you out already. Despite my repeated warnings, you keep repeating the same mistake, and yet you blame me and ask why I don't let you out of the origin card." Anna reminded Ann why she did not let her out. Ann was like a library of all of Anna's history, thoughts, embarrassing secrets, regrets, etc.

These are the things that did not belong to Ann, as they were Anna's. So she had no right to reveal all of Anna's secrets to her mother, uncle, grandparents, and other relatives. But there was no other way to stop Ann from spreading her secrets and making her personal thoughts public than locking her up in her origin card.

"Anna, I have a proposal for you…
