[b][i][u]Location: Fon Ventorian Mansion - Main Hall[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xarzFrDsc1I]Elegant Summer[/url] [i]With Hinata getting downstairs and greeting the team, Astra recognized her while Roger and Lass didn't.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ouhTiNv.png[/img] Lass: Is she the one who called us here? [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiECKgX.png[/img] Astra: Hardly, but nice seeing someone that I met here. I thought we'd have a waltz filled with strangers today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1ujjy1O.png[/img] Lass: Jokes aside, how many people do you know, Astra? [img]https://i.imgur.com/8cW2Tlh.png[/img] Astra: When you live a civilian life like mine and get out of the suburbs for once, you get to meet some nice people outside. People that aren't like us, if you get my point. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9thILGj.png[/img] Roger: But how did you meet her, Master? We don't ususally team up with anyone, so I wonder- [img]https://i.imgur.com/W23nNSu.png[/img] Astra: Just walking around, gathering intel and we bumped on each other in the way. More than once, actually. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zFP7KpM.png[/img] Lass: You don't fear the danger of getting discovered by people? [img]https://i.imgur.com/p3g4Ikw.png[/img] Astra: The thrill is enjoyable to me. Besides, if she's here, she's in the Resistance. I doubt that our names didn't run through at all. [i]Astra then turned to Hinata. He smiled without any problems.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiECKgX.png[/img] Astra: But answering your question, Miss Hinata, we were called here by your boss. She requested our services for a rather interesting deal between our groups, to say so the least. [img]https://i.imgur.com/W23nNSu.png[/img] Astra: So let me present these two. Let's start with Roger. He's one of our disciples, being one of the least incompetent ones. He was hanging around with Kev yesterday, though I feel he wasn't too much of an aid, more so like a bother. Oh, and don't worry if he didn't remember you, he was probably drooling over some random guy in the street. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zJa18ES.png[/img] Roger: Yes, yes, I got it already, Master... [img]https://i.imgur.com/8cW2Tlh.png[/img] Astra: Next up, we have Lass, who goes by the codename of Avenger. He's quite a looker, but he's frigid as an iceberg sometimes. I don't know any other skilled swordsman. Also, he's my trustworthy partner. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TTK4mtJ.png[/img] Lass: Hmph. [img]https://i.imgur.com/p3g4Ikw.png[/img] Astra: And there's me, the little old Astra you bumped sometimes. I go by the codename of Vampire. With Lass, I'm one of the founders of the Black Moon. Heard about it, perhaps? [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Streets[/u][/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img] Kaito: Alright. C'mon Xaizor, let's go. [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: Whatever, I can have SOME fun at school... [i]Xaizor, Kaito and Tiane left for the school. Jin grabbed the unconscious and sealed Veigas and Agito, carrying them in one arm each.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2ljnxNw.png[/img] Jin: So, where are we headed? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img] Lucent: I-I think it's... this way...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ql2g79h.png[/img] Jin: I don't like when people sound unsure about directions. We can't afford to get lost or they'll wake up. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: ... I... I-I never... went there, actually. [img]https://i.imgur.com/crDQ8CB.png[/img] Marina: Let us just ask for directions then. We will end up there soon enough. [i]Marina looked around, searching for someone that could answer her question. Once she saw someone, she asked them about the Guild.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ALLkS8t.png[/img] Marina: Excuse me, mister. We are a bit lost. Can you tell us where the Guild is? [img]https://i.imgur.com/hlrrd4X.png[/img] ???: The Guild? It's that way. Just go along with this street. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4E4FHgD.png[/img] Marina: Why, thank you. I do hope you have a good day. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img] Marina: Lucent, Sir Jin, it is this way, alongside this street. [i]Jin and Lucent followed Marina as she went along. However, the young man just looked as they left curiously.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/QY0QJzf.png[/img] ???: (Wait. Did she just say...?) [b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Front Gate[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNJ16NPp3q8]Beautiful Days[/url] [i]As Theo, Kaori, Himika and Hina were at the front gate, the Intermezzo limousine arrived. Only Veronica, Sayaka and Auror were inside of it though, as the three of them got out.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/FkIKlzW.png[/img] Veronica: Good and pretty morning! I hope this day started spectacular to you! [img]https://i.imgur.com/somZgK6.png[/img] Sayaka: Good morning, everyone. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img] Auror: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/EI9g1oH.png[/img] Veronica: Big Bro, you have to greet people when you see them! C'mon! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: Morning... I guess... [img]https://i.imgur.com/UPXcEED.png[/img] Veronica: Geez, stop being such a downer! C'mon, smile! [i]Veronica went ahead and tried to force a smile out of Auror with her hands. Once she was done, she backed off.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/B1JDM84.png[/img] Veronica: There! Now that's more like you! [img]https://i.imgur.com/I31LhXC.png[/img] Auror: *breaks smile off* I don't feel like smiling right now, Vivi... [img]https://i.imgur.com/TgBjAZ6.png[/img] Veronica: Aw, come on! Just smile already! [img]https://i.imgur.com/1q4rS3v.png[/img] Sayaka: Hmm? [i]Sayaka looked at Himika and Hinamori, not recognizing them.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/5ZU3Rym.png[/img] Sayaka: I don't seem to recognize you two. Are you two new students? [img]https://i.imgur.com/9xEYDWK.png[/img] Veronica: Oh hi, Himika! How have you been doing? It's been months since we last saw each other! [b][i][u]Location: Summer Area - Streets[/u][/i][/b] [i]Mana's attack was right on target. Rasel took the hit and fell down as well.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/wchljIm.png[/img] Rasel: Defeated... by humans... this is... such a joke... [i]With her fall, the wall dividing both sides broke apart and soon they were all reunited.[/i]
