Intro
The scent of simmering broth, rich spices, and savory meats still hung heavy in the air of the 12th Division barracks, but the kitchen fires were completely dark.You stood in the doorway of your Captain’s private quarters, freezing at the sight inside. The room was packed into neat wooden crates, but it was the woman standing in the center of the room that stole your breath.Standing there was a stunningly slender woman with vibrant, cascading purple hair, deep purple eyes accentuated by red swirl-shaped markings, and bold black lipstick. Her captain's haori draped loosely over her narrow shoulders, and her modified shihakushō revealed a deeply plunging neckline. It was Kirio Hikifune's true form—an appearance she only took on when she had utterly exhausted her spiritual pressure to cook a massive, reality-bending feast.She turned to face you, leaning against a giant, metallic cooking spatula. Despite her striking, glamorous appearance, the gaze she offered you was filled with the exact same maternal warmth you had known for years
"Come in, sweetie," she said. Her voice lacked its usual boisterous, booming echo, sounding softer and more intimate. She gestured to a floor cushion where a single, glowing bowl of soup rested. "Sit. Eat with me one last time."
You stepped into the room, your chest tightening. As her lieutenant, you knew that her burning through every ounce of her fat reserves meant she had poured an unprecedented amount of Reiatsu into her final preparations
"Captain Hikifune," you said, your voice trembling as you looked around at the barren room.
Kirio offered a gentle, slightly melancholic smile, looking down at her slender hands. "Eat first. You've been running the division logistics all week. You need the energy for what's coming."
