Everyone can see that Noir Corne is obsessed with his new equipment.

From the talks of other operators, it can be summarized that his behavior includes but aren't limited to: eating food in the cafeteria in one hand and stroking his armor with the other hand and while he's walking on the road, he suddenly draws his blade and made some gestures at the air. When he sleeps, he doesn't take off his equipment and holds his sword tightly. There are even weird rumors that he has to polish his armor three times a day, his sword five times and oils it six times. The most bizarre rumor came from the Engineering Department.

According to his word, when the department asked Noir Corne to take off his new equipment he was hesitant. Despite that, the other members won't let go the chance of examining these equipment so the funny scene of the equipment being carried around by the engineers and the sight of Noir Corne yelling in the lab resounded well.

While there are rumors about how he really loves his new equipment, Noir Corne's combat performance is really distinct. He didn't change his previous style and still rushes towards the enemies and defended his allies firmly. What's more surprising is that his ability to use his new weapon has improved by miles in a short amount of time. He can precisely strikes enemy with blazing speed and sufficiently suppress them repeatedly. After a battle, a curious operator asked him why he's able to charge forward without any spare equipment and he said this.
"Yato told me to familiarize myself with the new equipment quickly in order to protect everyone better. I'm not used to use anything other than the shield and a slow learner. So this is the only way I can do it."

Other operators have heard about the incident that Yato and Noir Corne are involved in during their mission in Higashi but very few of them knows what happened in details. What they noticed was Yato's significant change but only very few can detect subtle changes within Noir Corne. At first, they only noticed that he becomes more outspoken. Before he only comes up as a conversation topic while rarely expressing himself. Now he's able to talk more but sometimes what he said left everyone confused and laugh at it.

It wasn't until the conversation progressed for awhile that some people managed to understand what he said and they're surprised to see a drastic change within him as well. Other noticeable change includes his frequent visitation to the library. He can be seen befuddled reading a book while scratching his head or asking other operators for advice while taking notes. According to him, he finally realized that knowledge is also important for the future and he wants to broaden his knowledge for future missions. His large borrowing list that consists of children science fiction books supports this. Additionally, another notable thing is a young adult novel called "A Tale of Two Oni" which became popular with younger operators in recent times.

Some operators who frequented the bar mentioned that they heard parts of the chapters but they cannot seem to recall any of its famous scenes. For example, in one of the recent chapter, the two Onis challenged a mysterious Fire Dragon and one of the Oni talked about sacrificing themselves to distract the dragon from the other Oni is often talked about.

"It's actually well written but do they even need to sensationalize this?"

Said by Yato after she reads it.

One of the most surprising thing that can be seen from Yato's and Noir Corne's experience in Higashi is the fact that their relationship seems to have no significant changes.

After they returned from Higashi, they resumed their respective roles. From others' viewpoints they still do the same activities and roles as before. However, some operators who are privy enough to some gossips, some pictures that imply something, or enough information speculated that there's something going on between those two. They did asked Noir Corne about it which is a huge mistake. He only answered "I don't get what you mean", it's difficult to get new developments after that.

Some time ago a huge gossip spread amongst the gossipers: Noir Corne and Yato were seen filing vacation applications together and both left almost at the same time. It's unconfirmed whether it's true or not but for gossip lovers this only fuels further speculations.

Oh boy, what about Yato you asked? Let me recall something. It was a few days ago when I saw her not feeling well and worked all day long so I think she had something bothering her mind. I thought about the incident in Roka Village before and assumed she probably remembered some stuffs in the past. I can't think of anything else to help her so I just asked if she wants to go back and she immediately said yes.

We retraced our steps back from the port where we left Higashi that year and all the way back from our escape route. Some of the scenery has changed and some others hasn't. I also saw some acquaintances from back then but luckily they didn't recognize me.

During this occasion since we're not on the run, I feel more relaxed and my mood keeps getting better when I looked at Yato. Finally, I remembered we went back to the temple where I met her. I gave her some flowers I found on the way and she gently placed them on the ground.

She also said that she protected many innocent people with me.

Have I gotten better?

I definitely will tell her that I did, She did a great job, but there are still a lot that we need to do because there are still many people that needs to protected.

Anyway regardless, I will walk together with her.

She took a glance at me and didn't say anything in the end but, that was enough for me.

Recently, Noir Corne has been really busy. With his new equipment, his combat capabilities has increased and along with it he undertook more difficult missions. Aside from that, he also helped in building New Roka Village in his free time. This includes but not limited to: contacting companies, helping villagers to find new jobs to trivial stuffs such as helping transport materials, tending to fields and telling children stories... he does it all.

While he said that their presence was the one who caused the village's destruction by the Catastrophe, his participation in rebuilding the village caused everyone to greatly appreciate him. He's also the one who recommended the Terra Research Commission Felynes to Rhodes Island and so he's also the one who had to take care of them more.

It's an ordinary sight for him to get dragged by Scholar Felyne to be asked about Terra's characteristics or by Craftsman Felyne to get new materials. The worst part is since the Felynes lacked the general knowledge of Terra and they tend to make all sorts of mistakes Noir Corne is the one who needs to take care of their messes. Despite that, he never complained. Conversely, he's just as helpful and diligent as per usual.

Not only the fact that other operators can also request for his help, Noir Corne can also spot unnoticed problems and asked them if they need his help. Due to this, his nickname has been changed to "Helpful Noir Corne" and it's become a sort of habit for other operators to ask for his help. He just laughed when he heard this nickname and just keeps working. Obviously regardless of whether a Catastrophe is imminent or not Noir Corne is still Noir Corne.

Let me emphasize this again, it's unnecessary for us to investigate operator Noir Corne's past.

The bloody and debt-ridden Nine Hitogari in the Civil War in Higashi? The notorious Teidou family? That's not something we should be concerned about.

Everyone here has something they hide from everyone. We shouldn't concern ourselves with their past and focus more on what they're doing in the present to find out whether they will stay with us for the future. What Noir Corne has done so far proves that he's with us.

His passion, intelligence and courage has been seen by everyone. He's an indispensable being for us and that's that. I believe what he wrote in his resume is real. You just need to remember that in the future he'll stay with us.
