Erend returned to the living room. When he returned, the atmosphere had changed so drastically he could hardly believe it.
He just fought and killed quite a number of enemies. All of that seed to contrast with how he felt right now.
The living room was so quiet because it was late at night. Moonlight penetrates the window pane. Erend stood in the middle of the room and found this change quite confusing.
Shortly after, Erend woke up from his stupor and went to his room. He took a quick shower to wash off the Sharkmans blood in his body then went to bed.
This long night has finally co to an end. Erend is grateful that he is doing this Daily Quest because that way he can find a way to relax.
He had also warned the Sirens. Hopefully, they will take his warning seriously and make preparations as soon as possible. Because in the near future, they might beco allies that he could rely on.
Erend closed his eyes. Then let the subconscious mind take control of him and bring him into a deep sleep.

Erend woke up when the sun was not yet high. But because today the sun is bright, there is enough light to light up the room.
He got up from the bed and washed his face. When he ca out of his room, he noticed that the morning sunlight was pouring into the living room through the opened door.
So he went down the stairs to the living room. There he saw Aurdis already standing in the doorway and staring at the street.
Her white dress moved slightly in the gentle wind. Aurdis had already put on the human disguise so she now had jet-black hair that was getting shiny from the sun.
"I thought you were still sleeping," Erend said from behind her.
Aurdis turned around. On her face was a smile that seed to have been on her face all along. And it's not going away any ti soon either.
"My Magic energy has fully recovered. So, I have no reason to stay asleep." Aurdis shrugged her shoulders in a cheerful gesture.
Erend glanced outside. Where he saw a lot of cars passing by.
"Sorry, the air in this world must be suffocating for you," Erend said.
"Well, every world has its advantages and disadvantages," Aurdis replied.
"You are too nice." Erend snorted.
For a few monts, no one spoke. The two of them stared at the road and scanned the vehicles.
"Saeldir isn't awake yet?" Erend asked.
"He already back to our world to take care of sothing," Aurdis answered.
"Oh." Erend nodded. "How about you?"
"I will stay here for a while," Aurdis said. Then, she rembered sothing and turned to Erend. "Didn't you promise to take to et your family?"
Upon hearing that, Erend imdiately turned to Aurdis quickly. "Did I promise?"
Aurdis nodded with a sweet smile.
Unfortunately, Erend doesn't really rember whether he really promised or not.
His focus last night had been on the Sharkmans he had killed so his conversation with Aurdis had only beco a background that he quickly forgot about.
"So?" Aurdis looked demanding.
"Uhh, sorry." Erend had a guilty look on his face. "You know we just ssed up, right? Today... I have to get into HQ and I'm sure I'll be pretty busy."
Aurdis exhaled. His face looked so disappointed. But it didn't take long, a few monts later Aurdis was smiling again.
"You're right. It's alright," Aurdis said.
Seeing the look on her face, Erend felt his heart sink. He couldn't bear to let Aurdis down.
"I will contact you when the ti cos," Erend said. "And this ti I really promise."
Aurdis' smile beca even brighter. Erend who saw that thought that the sunlight behind her had been defeated by her smile.
"Are you serious? You promise?"
Erend nodded firmly. "Yes."
After hearing that, Aurdis said that she would return to her world following Saeldir who had returned earlier.
Erend escorted her to the front of the open portal in the room she was using.
"I will talk to Aerchon about everything that happened," Aurdis said.
Erend nodded with a heavy expression. "I know that would be a troubleso thing to do. Still, I have no choice but to leave it to you."
"You don't need to worry. I'll take care of it."
After that, Aurdis stepped inside the Portal. Not long after, the portal disappeared.
Erend sighed after she left. Because he knew what he had to face now.
He prepared to go to the military base and put on his uniform. Then he went to the Slums' house and told the good news about their new ho to his mother and sister.
Of course, his mother and Arty were so happy. Even at first, they did not believe the news that Erend brought.
That ans Billy also hasn't told the news his family yet. Because if he had said that, there was no way his mother and sister would not know.
Erend gave them the keys to their new house. Then, his mother prepared to tidy up their things. anwhile, Arty went to school as usual.
Billy ca on ti to his house so Erend didn't have to call him. So, they went to the military base together.
"I can't imagine what we're going to be going through," Billy said. Even though it was still early in the morning, his expression was already grim at the thought of what he was about to experience.
"You also obtained the mories of our clone, right?" Erend asked.
Billy answered with a nod.
"If that's so, at least we already know what will happen."
They did gain the mories of their clone. From that mory, they knew that the situation at the military base was chaotic.
The president who is away in another country makes the situation even worse.
The car was driving on a busy street. As soon as they arrived at the military base, vans with the TV station's logo were still filling the field in front of the military headquarters.
