Slathan Country.
"We've finally arrived in this country. To think that it would be such a chore."
"Indeed."
A guy and a woman had just finished putting their luggage down. They were eting up outside the room.
There was another guy in the room next to that.
"Aileen, Aileen!" The guy knocked on the door multiple tis but showed no response. "Aileen!"
"Has she left? That's fast…" They exchanged looks. The guy looked angry, but if Aileen had really left, there was nothing she could do.
On the other hand, Clovis and his team had finally arrived at their destination.
"So, what is the mission this ti?" Kanaria asked. "Erwin. Do you know sothing?"
"There are a couple of missions, but I think it's better to let Aileen explain it to you guys."
"Oh! Alright." Kanaria nodded in agreent.
"Still, it's been a while since we last t her. I guess I'm kind of anticipating what level she has reached?" Clovis smiled. "Don't worry, Erwin. I will let you guys go for today. Just co back tomorrow and explain it to us."
"Mhmm…" Erwin scratched the back of his head. He was too embarrassed that he couldn't even show off.
"Ah. This guy is hopeless." lody shook her head helplessly.
"We have arrived. Also, Erwin. Put away that smirk of yours. It's annoying." Jay shouted while parking their bus.
Erwin just smiled, ignoring Jay.
"Yeah. He is hopeless. He has fallen to the bottom of the ocean." Kanaria agreed with lody's opinion. Even Jay's remark couldn't make him work up any more.
"Alright. Let's check in." Clovis ca out.
Unfortunately, they couldn't bring Reolf this ti. Even if it was alright to tell Aileen about it, there was a chance they would be spotted by the people coming with her.
Hence, it was better for Reolf to stay in the mansion for the ti being.
The one who would be taking care of him was none other than Hana. Of course, the price was to give her an earring from Another World Mall.
Luci volunteered, but in the end, it was better if everyone ca.
Clovis was the first one to co out of the bus. He stretched his body while saying, "Finally, it's been such a long ride."
"Indeed." Kanaria nodded. "Since we're here, should we go sightseeing as well? I have made so plans."
"Sure. We can go later." Clovis glanced at Luci, who was staring intensely at Clovis. In the end, Kanaria chuckled and said, "You can co too."
Luci pouted. It seed this was the only way to pacify her anger. She really wanted to stay with Reolf.
Then again, Reolf would be in danger if he was left alone with Luci. The only way to stop Luci was to make her focus on Clovis.
Clovis sighed. "Fine, fine. If this trip is successful, I will give you 20 ml of my blood once I reach Tier 4."
Luci's expression brightened. "Really? No taking back, okay. Don't worry. Anyone that dares to make this trip unsuccessful will be dissected on the operating table."
Clovis shook his head helplessly.
"Let's go. What are we waiting for?" Erwin had already co out. He even brought several bags that were not his, as though he couldn't just wait for them to retrieve them.
Clovis chuckled. However, his eyes were focused on soone behind Erwin. "It's been a while, Aileen."
"Clovis! Don't play !" Erwin gritted his teeth. However, he imdiately shut up when he heard Aileen's voice coming from behind him.
"He is telling the truth."
"!!!" Erwin wasn't the only one shocked by Aileen's sudden appearance.
Christina and Luci couldn't help but turn around. They actually let soone approach them this close without noticing them?
"Huh?" Christina blinked her eyes a few tis. Now that she saw her, it felt blurry. It was as if she existed and did not exist at the sa ti.
'What is this? This is the first ti I feel sothing like this. She is an assassin, so she must be erasing her presence. But this level… isn't she only a Tier 5? The only one who can sneak up on like this is at least a Tier 7 assassin.
'Is this the reason Clovis thinks highly of her? If there's soone who can actually approach a person without being noticed, they can simply kill her without the other party realizing it.
'Scouting the area will be much easier as well because the beasts won't notice her. I see. I finally understand what he ans by strong. She is indeed strong in this area. No, her talent might even rival mine and Clovis'. No, does she have a unique ability?'
Christina couldn't reach an answer.
anwhile, Aileen simply said with an emotionless face. "By the way, you said I was the one who was unable to wait to et you. But how co you are the one trying to drag them as fast as possible? You're so impatient to see . How cute."
Erwin's lips were shaking. "This bro is just making sure you don't wait for too long as a responsible boyfriend. You're the one who is impatient. Why would you even co to the parking lot?"
Erwin thought he made a coback, but Aileen simply pointed at Clovis. "He told to co here."
"Huh?" Erwin looked at Clovis, who was showing a peace sign. "Clovis, you bastard!"
Clovis smirked. He ignored Erwin and said, "Anyway, we can go. I have asked for one more key card for our suite. It's for you. You can sneak up into his room whenever you want it."
"Ah!" Aileen was startled but soon bowed. "Thank you very much."
"No worries. Anyway, let's go up." Clovis waved his hand.
"Pfft!" Jay laughed. "Such an impatient guy. How cute."
"Jay, you bastard!" Because of the embarrassnt, he finally replied to Jay's remark. "You are still single. Why don't you marry your blade already?"
Unlike any other ti, Jay simply shrugged while looking down on him. "Sure, sure. Let's go up, cute guy."
