Chapter 144 - Investigation Begins

Setting out in the morning went as smoothly as possible. Even if some noticed us, they'd probably think we're just looking around the area. As far as I noticed, no one realized what we were doing. I let everyone leave for their survey, and waited for Zenia to show up. She took her sweet time, but once she started walking towards the building, I went after her. She noticed me instantly, obviously, and stopped right at the spot, just to turn back to me.

"What are you doing?" she asked, looking quite confused.

"Going with you, obviously," I scratched the back of my neck nonchalantly.

"'Cause you don't trust me?" she attacked me right away.

"If that was the case, I wouldn't give you this job, idiot," I replied, "My [Power] suits this job the best out of all the options."

"Uh-huh," she replied, then turned, and continued walking.
