"Welcome to Carbon , Bishop Krev."

The bar Krev saw above was nothing compared to this one , the golden statue in middle with the devilish logo of 'Grave Saints' shone with numerous light flashing on it. The whole room looked classy and luxurious.

'Now I see where the Assassination's pay goes , thise couches look expensive. And those wine glasses look like they cost more than the wine itself , I'll try to take full advantage of this bar.'

"I'm new here so could you please get me something light and less alcoholic?"

"Sure , let me escort you to your seat."

'Is there a special seat for me alone in this bar?'

There wasn't , the waitress dressed in black shirt and black pants just escorted Krev to a random seat. One thing that easily caught his eyes was the pin she wore , it was the same 'Grave Saints' that he wore on his shirt.

'Now that I think about it the pin does look good.'

"Please wait few minutes your drink will be on the way."

Krev nodded and looked around his seat , infront of him was wide brown wooden table. The black seats that he sat on were so comfortable that he didn't wanted to get up , opposite to him was another seat which was empty. The seats had small walls which gave the guest somewhat of privacy.

Around him many member enjoyed their alcohol and drank it like it was water , low ranks like Priest were in groups. While high ranks like Bishop and above sat alone enjoying there evening.

Suddenly a man got up from the seat near to Krev's and walked up to him , his silver hairs were covered by a hood. Lowering his head to see Krev he said ,

"As I thought it was really you , Bishop Krev."

The man was none other than one of Krev's subordinate , his name was Gray and held the rank of Priest.

"Gray?"

"It's my first time seeing you here , it's been a month since you were assigned and yet you never joined us for drinks. Don't you think that's a bit rude?"

'Is he even old enough to drink?'

"Hmm , well now that you're here let's have a drink. By the way how old are you?"

'Pfft'

Hearing Krev's words Gray let chuckled and said ,

"Are you worried that I'm not old enough to drink?"

"..."

"Hahahaha , don't worry. It's the Sinner's world , nobody cares if you're underage. If you got money they'll serve you , the prices of drinks are way cheaper than the one's sold above. And surprisingly the quality is good too , those ridiculous passwords makes me uncomfortable though."

'Oh right! Fluffy whiskey.'

"I know right? I had to say fluffy whiskey to get in here."

Gray started laughing when he heard the password , with Gray's mouth wide open Krev could smell the alcohol he drank.

"I'd to say weiner beiner to get in here..."

'What the hell is wrong with this place?'

"... apparently the password get better as your rank increases. I'm the lowest rank- Priest so I have one of the most weird ones , Archbishop's are serious so they get better one's. I heard Archbishop Seven's was 'Glutton's Beer' , I laughed all day thinking how uncomfortable she would've felt when ordering something like that."

Krev started sweating as he thought ,

'Those are the better ones , I'll ask them to let me stick to fluffy whiskey.'

Suddenly a hand approached Gray shoulder as he laughed , the person behind him tightened the grip around his shoulder and said ,

"You're wrong Gray , my one is 'hungry beer'."

The person was none other than Seven herself , Krev could see a nerve was popping up on her forehead. With a forced smile on her face she said ,

"Getting comfortable with the new member , are we?"

"Hehehe , Archbishop Seven it's rare to see Bishop Krev here. Which is why I thought of joining him."

Krev interrupted their conversation and said ,

"Actually it's my first time here."

"See! He it's his first time."

"Yeah , yeah I get it."

Saying that Seven pushed Gray to the other end of the seat making herself some space and joined Krev's table. A waitress with a glass on a plate came up to Krev's table and said ,

"Bishop Krev , here's your drink. Please pay at the counter near the exit."

Seven who was playing with her phone noticed the drink and said ,

"Huh!? Is this even a drink? How much alcohol does it contain?"

"It contains 5% alcohol , Archbishop Seven."

"Why didn't you just give him water instead?"

Gray who was silent until now said ,

"Yeah yeah , why is it even called a drink in the first place? 5% alcohol? What's that?"

"Bring us two champagne bottles with 3 glasses."

"As you wish , Archbishop Seven."

Chugging the 'water' down Seven emptied the glass in few seconds , after that champagne was brought and Krev had his first drink with Seven and Gray. Because of their presence both the bottle couldn't even survive for 10 minutes.

Gray's face looked red because of the huge amount of alcohol he drank , on the other hand while Seven didn't look flushed she was completely drunk. On the other hand the one who was supposed to enjoy the drinks Krev was completely sober as he was only able to down a glass.

"You know my husband doesn't spend much *hic* time with me anymore."

'Hah...'

"Is that so , Archbishop Seven?"

'...are we going to...'

"Yeah , he just busy with his duties as a member and is always away from me because of it."

'...have some deep conversation right now.'

Krev saw a water bottle infront of him and took a sip to cure his thirst , meanwhile under the influence of alcohol Gray said some words that he came to regret later.

"Are you sure you aren't just being *hic* clingy right now , Archbishop Seven?"

Krev spat the water out and looked at Gray's flushed face.

'Bye , Gray.'

"What did you just say Gray?"

Seven slapped his head with her right hand and said ,

"Me... being clingy? You men are all like this , is it wrong for us to some attention?"

"Argh , that hurt."

Krev wasn't really interested in these kind of conversation which is why he tried to change the topic.

"Anyways , Archbishop Seven what is our next target? I heard that there are some hot shots of 'Divine End' located in City O."

"Ugh , already? Didn't you just complete the mission? You should take a break after a mission."

"It wasn't that hard , those intruders were on the level of Deacons. They were just getting used by those high rankers to keep an eye on us , Deacons are nothing but pawns for them."

"I see... anyways my husband really doesn't care about me."

'She doesn't care a bit.'

Gray patted Seven's back and said ,

"I feel you Archbishop Seven. Having a husband who one of 5 Cardinals must be hard."

This was Krev's first time hearing about Seven's husband being a Cardinal. Krev heard about him few times as Seven mentioned him , but the fact that he was a Cardinal was unknown to him.

'Hoh , Cardinal! One of the 5 Cardinals that rule over the whole state , I can see why he's always busy.'

Pope ruled over a whole country , below him were Cardinals who ruled over states , below the Cardinals were Archbishops who ruled over one or multiple cities. The whole world consisted of 6 countries present on a three continents.

Each continent consisted of 2 countries. Continent Alp , Continent Sro and Continent Kol , these were the name of the continents. Continent Alp consisted of 2 countries- Trez and Moze.

Grave Saints ruled over Trez while Divine End ruled over the neighbouring country Moze.

Seven straightened and looked at Gray with her eyes wide opened , she couldn't understand what Gray wanted to say.

"How the hell do you know how I feel? You're not even married."

"Who cares? I tried to console you Archbishop Seven..."

The beer that Seven ordered was served by the waitress , after chugging half of it down she said ,

"Ugh , I wouldn't want any type of consolation even when I'm at my lowest."

Like this both of them went back and forth until they got completely wasted , total of 6 bottle of beers and 3 bottle of champagne were drunk by Seven and Gray.

Grave Saints Base , City G.

"How's my wife doing?"

Sitting in the back of the car the thin-looking man asked his driver about his wife.

"Yes Cardinal , Archbishop Seven is having drinks with her colleagues right now. Priest Gray and the new member Bishop Krev are accompanying her , we've placed few guards to protect Archbishop."

The thin man with his blonde hair combed looked exhausted.

"Remove the guards if she notices them... I'm sure they're going to die by her hands. With her gift I'm sure the alcohol wouldn't be a problem."

"But Cardinal , wouldn't it be better to keep-"

"Jim if you want to see your men dead send them to guard her , but if you do care about there lives do as I said."

"Okay Cardinal Niem , I'll order my men to retreat."

Looking at the flashing lights of night city he thought ,

"Hah... This is exhausting. I wonder when I can meet her again."
