"The Night Empress..." Aoi took a sip of coffee as she stared at her phone. She immediately winced at the bitterness.
She set the cup down.
"Who would've thought the mysterious Night Empress... was actually the last man alive." Aoi muttered to herself with a small smile.
She was truly lucky. Now she didn't have to go to the guild anymore.
Wake up. Meet Reiji. Escort him to a Gate. Go back home. Life couldn't be more perfect.
~Ring! ~Ring!
"Guild Master's Daughter."
Aoi glanced at the caller ID.
She didn't want to answer. But she also had no reason to reject the call.
"...Hello."
"Hello! Team Leader Aoi, why haven't you been to the guild these past few days? We're genuinely worried about you..."
Aoi's eyebrow twitched. 'Worried? More like you want me to come back and spend money.'
She forced a small smile. "I'm fine. There's no need to trouble yourself over me."
"So... is something wrong? Please tell me if there's anything I can do."
