For the future (3)

Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, and Terra looked exhausted. Jori and Reca also had their arms and legs covered in bandages… Rain looked at Terra, and she looked like her head was about to kill her thanks to a Migraine… she was using too much mana.

"Hey, it has been a while," Rain said while waving his hand.

Rain wanted to ask what happened to them, but that probably would wound their ego. Since they wanted to prove themselves, the last thing they wanted to hear was someone looking like he was making fun of them or overly concerned.

"Yeah, it has…" Jori said while looking like he wanted to sleep for a few more hours instead of working that day.

Rain looked toward the others, and it seemed that they didn't want to say anything further either. That was fine with Rain. If they didn't want to talk, it was fine. When he thought of leaving them alone, Rain noticed Liss's gaze; she looked like she was silently asking for help.
