Because they hadn’t found the perfect solution for the incoming attackers yet, the others remained vigilant.
Aileen and Erwin were looking around to find any more clues, while Kanaria was trying to figure out where they were going to attack. There was a chance that the enemy would be coming to get the army and the rest.
It would be a sure blow to Clovis since he might be blad for this attack.
That was why it was better to track them down.
For the ti being, he chose to believe in Vina. Even though he hadn’t trusted her so much to the point where he would think of leaving the Stel Neven Archive to her, he trusted her enough to handle a few matters related to the group.
Then again, it wasn’t like Clovis could promise her anything, considering Steven was promised by her grandmother. There was no telling whether he would inherit it or not.
However, it looked like his parents knew it would go to him sooner or later. That was why they gave him that clue first.
In other words, she took over lody’s position in the investigation.
Clovis and lody were actually heading to a nearby town. Although the resort was good, there was nothing but the resort here. So, the wall definitely had ears around.
In the anti, Reolf was accompanying Christina and Rin. It would be good publicity for Reolf, and Christina was more than enough for his protection.
As expected, Reolf got popular enough, especially with the ladies.
There were a lot of short videos about Reolf trending on the net.
"It looks like Reolf is bound to be popular soon. Are you planning to do the sa with Rea?" lody smiled, watching the cute video of Reolf. She showed the video to Clovis, who was sitting next to her on the bench.
"Yeah. However, Rea’s existence is currently unknown, so she will be good as our trump card. So, after revealing that trump card, I plan to do the sa for Rea."
"That’s good." lody nodded. "Still, you are probably going to get another family again, right?"
"Most likely. Maybe one or two more if we look at the pattern. But I need a lot of money to do that," confird Clovis.
lody crossed her arms. "I see. In that case, we need to maintain the balance of our group. I will maintain my position as a mobile operator, but I might end up focusing a bit more on the operating part. If we have another one, that child can take over my position so that I can focus on the operating part."
"Are you thinking about leaving the front line entirely?" Clovis asked. Vina had just dropped the bomb previously. So, lody might think the sa.
"I’m not sure yet." lody shook her head. "Even if I want to do that, I think staying as a mobile operator is the best way to help this group.
"As Dante grows as a manager, I don’t have to do this part anymore and can focus on my actual tasks."
"Well..." Clovis scratched the back of his head, feeling bad. After all, lody had basically beco his secretary. "Maybe I should stop asking you guys to stay in the sa house anymore."
"Why though?" lody asked.
"Well, we have grown enough, so won’t it be better if everyone can just have a house of their own? We were like this before because of , but there’s no need for it anymore since we’ve established ourselves enough in Absalom."
"That’s true, but..." lody tilted her head left and right. "...I don’t think anyone wants to leave, especially with all that furniture. Rather, why not use that mansion and create headquarters for our group?"
"That sounds better. The biggest problem will be how to take care of it. The furniture is definitely not sothing that we should show around. The sa applies to the painting."
"Cleaning robot, maybe," lody suggested. "As for the people, they can just clean up the outside. Only those who are trusted enough can enter. But it’s not like you’re going to hide all this forever, right?"
"Yeah. It’s hard to keep everything secret forever. Well, I’m planning to reveal it bit by bit through Hana. Not everything, of course."
lody nodded in agreent. "Well, if you want to make the headquarters, I can program the robot to handle the cleaning according to the structure of the house. Of course, periodical cleaning by our hands is still necessary, but it can be just once a year or once every two years."
"Sounds good to ." Clovis nodded. If they really built the group’s headquarters, it would definitely expand the scale of their project. Even the training grounds would beco bigger.
"In that case, I will take care of it." lody gave a thumbs-up.
"And I end up giving you another task." Clovis smiled wryly.
lody chuckled. "That’s true. I don’t know since when... Maybe since the first ti your group commissioned . I thought I would live my life focusing on hopping from one commission to another just to keep Dante alive.
"However, ever since I joined your group, I found out that might not be the case. Every day was busy, but it was fulfilling.
"To be honest, I even thought that once Dante recovered, there might be a possibility that I’d leave the group and retire.
"But..." lody smiled. "I’m not regretting my choice."
"..." Clovis was staring at her, not knowing what to think.
lody was sneaking her hand into Clovis’, as she ca closer.
It looked like the feeling was mutual, so Clovis ca closer as well.
As they were about to close their eyes, a big red screen appeared between them.
[Error.]
[Player Integration. Code #0000-]
The screen broke apart at the last digit, which startled Clovis. But he actually wasn’t the only one.
lody’s body shook as she pulled back, looking at sothing she had never seen before.
"What is this? Error?"
"!!!" Clovis opened his mouth in shock. "You... can see it?"
