In the Far East Branch, also known as the Den, where a bunch of talented God Eaters live. In the Den, there are only two Rare New-Types. One of them is Alisa Ilinichina Amiella, a New-Type Gods Eater from the Russian Branch who has stellar results in simulated combat, but has never been to actual combat.

The other one is a very talented New-Type, his name is never been mentioned and is nickname 'Sapphire' because of his looks, shows Excellent results in battle and also have a good sense of humor, other than that, his past is pretty much unknown. Sapphire and Alisa is favored by Sasaki Paylor, probably because both are New-Types, but mostly Sapphire.

Here we follow Alisa in her room; she seems to be having a problem. "What is this feeling?" she muttered to herself as she was resting at her bed, "Why do I feel this way, whenever he's around?" she questions herself. She remembered telling Sakuya about this feeling; Sakuya explained that Alisa might have fallen in love with Sapphire.

Alisa was surprise when Sakuya says that, but she didn't deny it, she knows it's true... and so obvious. Sakuya, sensing Alisa's trouble thoughts, gave a word of encouragement, "Don't worry, you'll be able to figure it out and I'll be helping you".

Alisa then commented that Sakuya already gave her the answer; she was in love with Sapphire, when she said that, Sakuya only sweat-dropped. Alisa is still happy that Sakuya would still encourage her.

Back to her room, Alisa is still confused, well not really. Well, maybe, except WHEN she fell in love with him. After a while of thinking, she started to have a Flashback, it was when Sapphire was helping her how to fight again, "Don't worry, Alisa, I've got your back!" Sapphire reassured Alisa, who is practically nervous.

They were in a mission to eliminate a Kongou, just Sapphire and Alisa, but when they found the Aragami, Alisa is still hesitating to fight. But Sapphire didn't mind. After the Kongou has fallen, Alisa apologizes to Sapphire, "I'm sorry... I'm just being a burden aren't I?" But Sapphire shakes his head and tells Alisa, "No, you're not! You're not a burden, you were just recovering!"

Alisa was a bit glad when he said that, and mouthed thank you. This time in another mission, Alisa was able to fight, but not much, at least she's improving, Sapphire thought. When the mission ends, Alisa wanted to apologize again for not being much of a help, again, Sapphire didn't mind and said she was improving, again.

Alisa was happy to hear that. Alisa was feeling a bit nervous from the mission earlier, Sapphire sees this and held out his hand and tell Alisa to hold it, Alisa slowly held his hand and when she did, a Resonance occurred.

She sees a younger Sapphire in tears, and he seems to be looking at the something, the Resonance ended as it occurs for a brief moment. Alisa was a bit shocked, she is now looking at Sapphire with a happy face telling her to calm down, "Alisa, calm down, don't be so nervous..."

Alisa then tells him about the resonance, "I-I saw you..." Sapphire gets the message, he then says, "... I know ... please don't ask, I tell you about it someday ...", and his back to normal again, "Now you did good in today's mission, I think you're close to recovering your battle instincts!" All the while, he still holds hands with Alisa, though he didn't notice.

Alisa was thrilled when he says that, because all of that work is owed to Sapphire, she swears to herself that she'll work hard to pay him back someday. End Flashback.

As Alisa remembers that day, she thinks about the Resonance is about Sapphire's past, "What could have happen?" she asked herself, but decided to forget about it, it is his choice to tell her about it.

It's has been a week since she face her fear against the Vajra, also when she save Sapphire, in which he says, "Whoa, now we're even!" with a grin. She then stop thinking about it, so to take her mind out of it, she decided to study the Aragami using Fenrir database, known as Norn. "Hmm ... Maybe that's when I fall in love with him." She thought.

After a while of studying the database, her mind begins to wonder "I wonder what he's doing right now?" Elsewhere, in Sapphire's room, we see he is trying out his outfits, "Hey. These pants are tight! Argh! ... uh ... umm … HOW DO YOU TAKE THESE OFF!", and it looks like Sapphire is caught in a tight situation. Anyway, back to Alisa. "Hmm, maybe I should go visit Sakuya."

Currently, only Sakuya knows about Alisa's feelings towards Sapphire. Alisa then turn off the terminal and makes her way out, when she was out of her room she thought she heard something, like someone shouting, because these rooms are soundproof. Anyway, she also spotted Kota who looks bewildered and Kota sees her and says "Oh, hi Alisa! Did you hear something? Like someone shouting? I mean these walls are like ... Soundproof!"

Alisa just going to ignore him, she walks towards the elevator leaving the still bewildered Kota in his 'The Sound of The Paranormal'. She presses the 3rd Floor sign for the Veteran Section. When she arrive, she take a glance at Sapphire's Room, oh, how she badly wanted to go in there, but she didn't, and went towards Sakuya's door.

She knocks and then when she heard the phrase, "Come in!" she enters. "Good Afternoon, Sakuya." Alisa greeted. "Good Afternoon, Alisa." Sakuya greeted back. "So, what brings you to my room? Let me guess ... it's about Sapphire again, isn't it?" Alisa blushed and plays with her fingers "Y-Yes." Sakuya giggled and says "How cute!"

"Sakuya! Don't tease me about him!" Alisa says with embarrassment. Sakuya is still laughing "Seriously, it IS about him, right?" Alisa sigh "Yes, and I just said that", Sakuya sweat-dropped "Oh, right... so, how was the mission with him go, yesterday?"

As they sit down at the sofa, Alisa tells her about the mission, yesterday, with Sapphire, Kota and Soma, they were hunting a Gboro-Boro. "We split into two groups", Alisa said, "Me with Sapphire and Kota with Soma", she continues, Sakuya nodded and said, "And?"

Alisa then tells Sakuya that, since Alisa was with Sapphire, her chest was beating pretty fast, and to make things worse, Sapphire notice that Alisa was quiet, so he ask her what's wrong, Alisa just told him that it was nothing to worry about, but Sapphire was still worried about her.

"Sapphire was worried about me, he cares about me, which makes me happy", Alisa stated, Sakuya then says, "Then that means that you have a chance with him!" Alisa smile and nodded, she then continues her story, and Sapphire thinks that Alisa just a bit nervous, so he told her to calm down, he got Alisa's back, he added. Alisa calms for a bit, feeling reassured, though her chest still beating rapidly.

Just then they spotted the Aragami, Sapphire plans to ambush it, Alisa agrees, but their plan isn't going to work because Kota and Soma just assaulted the monster. Sapphire joked. "Wow, our plan fail before it succeeded..." Alisa just rolls her eyes. Then they join the others in the battle, Alisa was supporting Sapphire by giving him Link-Burst, Soma just attacks the Aragami while Kota is shooting it. It put a relatively tough fight, but the group won in the end.

When they were back at the Den, Kota complains how the Aragami is annoying, Soma told him to shut up and he walks away, Kota was fuming, but walks away as well, while mumbling about Bugarally. Sapphire turns to Alisa, thanking her, "Thanks for supporting me, Alisa" that caught Alisa by surprise. "Oh …you're …welcome! ... Anytime! ... uh ... got to go, see you!" she said and runs away to her room. "... Cute ..." thought the leader.

End of story. "...and that was it." Alisa finished her story. Well in her imagination, it was like, she was the princess and Sapphire was the knight in shining armor and he was like. "Don't worry my princess, for I will protect you!" and Alisa was like. "Oh my Hero!" Alisa shakes her head of the thought.

Sakuya ponders a bit and says. "Well, I think Sapphire might have the same feelings for you". Alisa doubts it, but also wishes it was true, she then ask Sakuya a favor. "Sakuya could you help me finds out how does Sapphire's feels about me?" Sakuya then says with a smile, "Well, of course I'm going to help you out!" Hearing this made Alisa grateful.

But then Sakuya said. "Wait, how am I going to do that?" Alisa answered truthfully, "I have no idea." Sakuya just sweat-dropped, Alisa is not reassured by her words, but she trust Sakuya to find a way. "I'm just going to just trust you, Oh, I have to go!" As Alisa moves out of the room, a light bulb appears on Sakuya's head, this means she has got an idea, a devious idea, for both Alisa and Sapphire. Alisa was actually going for a quick exit, and she's back at her room, she ponders about Sapphire ... even dreams about him ... and it's nice one too, it's where Sapphire kiss her.

What a happy dream, "Why do I have to wake up while I'm in a beautiful dream?" she thought to herself, she remembers she have a another mission today...in 'Sunken Grid'.
