[Bonus chapter] Turning Cogs

Arad stood up, staring at Gojo and Vars, "Call me when the time comes. I will help as much as I can."

Gojo smiled, "Same for you. Call me anytime if you need help. I'm strong enough to make people question their lives. I'm sure you would find me helpful."

Arad turned around, leaving, "I'm counting on you, big brother."

Arad returned to the clothes shop, hearing Aella and Eris talking inside. He knocked on the door, "I'm back. Did you finish?"

The door quickly opened, and the shopkeeper stared at him. "They are waiting for you."

Arad smiled, "You can be nice,"

"And you can stand outside," She smiled back, "Wait a moment," She walked back inside and called the girls.

Aella, Mira, and Eris walked out with smiles, staring at Arad, "Did we make you wait?"

"No, what did you get?" He asked.

"A lot of things. It's best to see them at home," Mira stared at him and walked to his side, "How about you? Did you find anything while you waited?"
