Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch military base.

"Ann, I am fine. Now get off me." Said Anna, trying to pull out of Ann's embrace.

"I was scared. Promise me you will never do that again." Ann and Anna's lives are connected. If Anna died, Ann would die along with her. But if Ann died, she would resurrect as long as Anna lived. Therefore Ann cared more about Anna's life than Anna herself.

"I can not promise you that," Anna replied truthfully because it was not in her control. She was forced into a trance-like state by her Ancestors. It had no say in it.

"Why can't you make a promise to Ann? Mama! Anna is bullying me again. Woooo" Ann literally began to cry. Her life was uneventful, and Most of it was spent in Anna's grimoire. Despite having an almost immortal-like perk, she was the person most worried about death.

"Ann, don't cause trouble, or I will send you back." By sending back, Anna meant recalling Ann back into her grimoire.

"You promised you wouldn't do that for the next three months," Ann complained.

"Well, that was when you said you would not be a pain in the ass," Anna argued. And feeling Ann's grip holding her loose, she pulled out of her embrace.

"I am calling mom." Ann summoned her grimoire and made a call. She headed to her cabin. She seemed too depressed to say goodbye to us. And her call was answered in the next few seconds, "Hello, mommy. Anna is being a jerk again. I want to see you. Can I come to see you now?"

"Now that needy has left. Let's continue our talk from before, shall we?" Anna spoke nonchalantly, but her eyes remained on Corey as she said these words.

"Okay. I said I wanted a devil's ingredient as compensation for my services." Feeling Anna's gaze on her, Corey thought she was speaking to her, so she answered her.

"Um. I heard you the first time. But hearing you say it the second didn't make it less funny than the first time you said that." Anna spoke, mocking Corey for sky high price for her service.

"..." Even I felt that the fees Corey demanded were a bit unreasonable. But the task that Anna gave was something that even the diamond grade card creationist deemed impossible. So her price wasn't excessive.

Diamond grade card creationists only involve the Card emperor realm. Demigods are above this division.

"Wyatt, what do you think?" Anna asked my opinion.

"How about you decide after we complete the work? It will be easy for you to judge if the cards we created were worth two devil ingredients or not." I answered honestly, trusting Anna's pride, which would never let her skip out on an outstanding bill.

"Two devil ingredients?" Anna asked, lifting one of her eyebrows.

"I can't be paid less than my employee, can I?" I answered.

"Fine." Anna agreed because she didn't mind paying that much if the cards created were worth it.

"..." Hearing Anna agree to two devil ingredients, the Garcia twins felt their heads spinning. If the origin card creation were successful, they would owe the southern watch two devil ingredients. Which meant they would be spending the rest of their life working for Southern Watch, repaying their debt.

Knowing all this, they stayed quiet because they planned to work for southern watch anyway, and if they got origin cards for that, it was worth it because they knew that it was near impossible to create two origin cards using one fated ingredient. And they felt grateful towards Anna because their Commander was willing to go more than the extra mile for them.

"Good. Now Corey, explain your plan for the card ingredient." Now that the payment was decided, it was only fair we told our employer how we planned to tackle the situation at hand.

"Well, my master has spoken to me about a particular martial art mostly practiced by twins. It strengthens the bond between the twins and allows them to share their energies. Once you achieve sage level mastery in this martial art card, you will be able to transform into a dragon. The martial art is named twin demon dragon body arts. You can use it in your card creation so that both the twins can share the power of a single fated ingredient." Corey narrated her idea of getting one fate ingredient to make two individual origin cards.

"That's your devil-level ingredient-worthy idea? To use martial arts to share the power of a single fated ingredient." Anna mocked Corey's idea. Thanks to her Ancestor's reminder, Anna knew Corey was lying about her having a master. Anna decided not to confront Corey about the lie until she knew everything her Ancestors had to tell about Corey.

"Corey, do you have that martial arts card on your person right now?" I asked Corey because I felt her plan was feasible.

"Wyatt, don't tell me you are going along with her stupid plan," Anna asked, hearing me ask Corey about the 'twin demon dragon body arts' martial arts.

"Yes. Since I don't have any other ideas yet, I see no harm in exploring Corey's idea. Who knows, maybe we can learn something new." I defended my actions.

"You, two, are crazy. You know that. " Anna commented.

"No, I don't have the card on me. I didn't create it because I didn't know any twin powerful enough to use this card, so I didn't bother making it. I can create it now, but It will take me a day or two to complete the said card." Corey answered my question from earlier.

"Um... Okay, then get right to creating that card. If you need any ingredients, ask Susan." I ordered Corey, turned to Anna, and added, " I will contact you when we have a model for the card we can create."

"Okay, boss," Corey answered with great enthusiasm.

"Okay. And I will inform you when the Mimercornium arrives." Anna reluctantly agreed to my arrangement.
