"Are we parting ways here? So soon?"
Old Dog looked at Darren Fischer's figure, a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and continued, "It's been over a year, hasn't it? Since the last of our group of eight joined, we've been working together for more than a year. Darren, wouldn't it be nice if we could keep moving together?"
"Or maybe you could think it over, after all, the war is not yet over."
Darren laughed heartily, shaking his head without any hesitation, and said loudly:
"I must return to the Fischer family now. However, not parting ways is not entirely impossible—if any of you don't wish to continue staying in Rhea, you can come back to Cyart with me and become members of the Fischer family."
"Actually, I too hope to continue working with you all."
Darren believed in this group of people with whom he had shared life and death for a long time. He had already revealed his true identity to them, anyway—they were all Cyart people, so his identity posed no problem.
