Where is Nes?

Ray had been out for so long that it looked like the big event, the entire reason they were here in the first place was upon them. According to Slyvia, they had been invited to stay at the castle with the others a few days ago. 

Due to Ray's situation, they had stayed at the Inn, not fully giving the empire a reason as to why. Only that they would come soon.

They were free to do what they wished for the day, and would only need to at least go to the empire's place towards the end of the day for a dinner meal before the tournament tomorrow. It was where rules and such would be explained to everyone there.

It seemed like everyone wasn't too shocked by Ray's appearance, as they were treating him as they usually would. Slyvia was a little distant, but it wasn't because of the original reason. It was now because they were arguing whether she should still be on the team currently.
