Before The Expedition

After the meeting. Everybody went on to things they had to do until tomorrow.

Satoshi and the company heads for lunch.

They don't often eat outside for lunch. But if they want. They could. Especially since they could get money from things that they found in Expeditions. The last time they found Xenostones which costs so much in the market. They are given 25% of the money the government got from it. Even that 25% is enough to make their pouches full of gold coins. Every single one of them. But since Satoshi and Genji are the ones who found it. They are the ones who got the most of the 25%. That only implies that being in an Expedition Team will give you lots of money. But the more mission they accomplish, the more dangerous that next mission will get. There are also ranks on Expedition Teams. Each member will get one. But sometimes not everybody will be equal in rank. There are 6 ranks.

Copper.

Silver.

Gold.

Mithril.

Orichalcum.

And Adamantite.

Their team is currently Silver. With 50 members in it. They could advance or be promoted when they accomplish more missions. Expedition teams can also temporarily exchange members. Members can also quit and join other teams if they can convince someone on that team to swap with him. They are not able to leave an Expedition team. Teams must always be 50 in members. And when somebody lost, or die. They could not operate until it is perfect 50. But the only way of leaving the Expedition teams is through retiring. But all of them are not always in operating as 50 people in a single mission. There are also other missions others must do and that is the thing about them right now. Their mission involves only 20 people. With the remaining 30 doing other missions. There is a mission where the 10 of it is in. Another mission where 5 of them are in. And the remaining others on the last mission. Making the meeting actually about all the 4 missions they are in right now.

The only time they worked in 50 is the securing of Xenostones as it is their first mission.

"How about we eat at my favorite place?"

"Again!?"

Both of them shouted at Oriana.

"Umm... May I ask Oriana?"

"What is it?"

"Can we just eat at the stall I will choose?"

"Yeah. Satoshi is right we're sick of the food there. It's always what we are eating."

"But I want there!"

I don't want to butt in.

While they are arguing about food.

Oddessy came out of his shirt pocket. He's always with him inside that pocket. He then heard the voice of his other self inside his head.

"Hmm."

"What is it?"

"Nothing. Still. Coming to the Beastmens' world huh?"

"Tell me. You're called sorcerer supreme right?"

"So what?"

"Hmmm... Pretty sure you had some awesome spell with you if you're called like that right?"

"Actually. I know 761 spells."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Thank you for asking that. Now I know that I had that many spells."

"Well. For me. I know 306 spells."

"Pretty good."

"Yeah. Well. You can use it right?"

"Maybe. I don't think so I can use it right now. I'm still bound to these chains."

"What if I freed you up?"

"I don't know if you can free me. But even if you freed me. I can't use it at all. I can only use it in this plane I'm in right now."

"Yeah. I will get back to talking to you later. We still had things to do."

"Yeah. It is fine for me."

Genji then called him.

"Hey. Let's go."

He jogged towards them.

"Where are we gonna eat?"

"Let's just let this girl this time."

"Fine."

"Ok. Let's go you two."

"Literally guys. I'm sick of vegetables Oriana is always eating."

"Just let her. She loves it."

"Those vegetables are good you know? They are delicious. That is why I loved eating vegetables."

"Yeah. Vegetarian."

"You know what? You two? Let's just go eat."

They walked towards the food central. It is currently noon. All stalls are open now. Including her favorite one.

They ate a bunch of different dishes. Of course, they didn't eat only vegetables. They're sick of it. They ate other dishes like meat, fish, etc.

After eating. They go to Satoshi's favorite place to rest.

The grassland they are in is so windy. They loved how comfortable it is.

"We had to prepare for tomorrow."

"Yeah. Oriana. Always be beside me is that fine?"

"Yeah. Sure!"

The discussion went on until they had their rest while laying on the grassland.

After then they decided to go. With Oriana and Genji together, but Satoshi told them that he will be staying.

The time went by and it is currently afternoon. Exactly 3 pm as he woke up from his sleep when the two go.

Oddessy sensed something and called out to him. He is with them when they are laying down. With Oriana caring him on her arms when he came out of Satoshi's shirt pocket.

{Master. At your left.}

As he looked on his left side. He saw an elf girl peeking behind a tree.

An elf?

He quickly got up.

The elf is a beautiful girl. The girl has blonde hair since most elves do and she is wearing all green clothes.

"Excuse me?"

The elf then ran away.

"What the hell?"

He quickly cast a spell.

[Teleportation]

He suddenly appeared in front of her and gently grabbed her arm.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

She nervously spoke. She apparently has a cute voice.

"Umm..... Why are you... Here?"

"Huh? Ummm..... Yeah. It is strange for an elf to be here right?"

"Of course it is."

"Yeah. Ummm... I am Azzelia. I came from the elven world."

"Oh.. Ok. May I know why you are here? Why are you looking at me?"

"Ummm... It is nothing.."

"I can't call it nothing. But fine. If you don't want to say it. I won't force you."

"Ok. By the way. I am Satoshi."

"Yeah. I know you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry but I had to go!"

"Why?"

"I'm sorry. We will meet next time!"

She then kissed her on the lips and hurriedly ran to the forest nearby.

"What the hell?"
