The next mission

"Thank you for coming today, and my apologies for the sudden call," Branden said when the group arrived at the gate of his house.

Branden's new house was even bigger than the old one that Rain's grandparents had. It had a garden the size of a soccer camp, and the building was the size of a high-class resort that one would see on Earth. Thanks to that, Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, and Terra crossed the gates as if they were robots that needed some oil in their joints.

Branden guided the group toward the interior of the house, and the place sure was luxurious; a bunch of armor, paintings, and colorful windows could be seen in all directions. Aside from that, Rain only found servants and guards around.

"Everyone is out today, so don't worry about seeing anyone unexpected," Branden said. "My stepfather, mother, and older sister are busy."
