The day of purgatory exploration.
A woman was standing near a huge boulder that was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense vegetation. She was wearing a hunter's outfit that was only a bit effective in undermining her hourglass figure.
She had been waiting for someone at the place for quite a while now. And that someone had just decided to show up, long after dawn had arrived.
"You like to make me wait, don't you?"
Jules greeted Ronny with a mild frown on her face. The latter smiled at her, got closer, and kissed her on her cheek before responding:
"I was busy getting some help, Jules. I hope you don't mind."
Ronny diverted Julie's attention to the three rankers following him. One of them was in E-Rank while the other two were novice rankers. They were Renar, Viper, and Belar.
"Hm? You didn't tell me…"
"Before you say anything, let me say that they are anthropes and excommunicated from the Beast Bloods."
