Kaito and Lora arrived at a small, rundown wooden guild, its exterior weathered and worn by years of neglect. The sign above the door was faded, barely legible, and the windows were covered in a thick layer of grime. Inside, the air was musty, carrying the scent of old wood and dust. The wooden floorboards creaked under their feet with each step. A man sat at the counter, his face lined with age and weariness. "Welcome to Dragon River Guild," he greeted them, his voice a low rumble.
Kaito and Lora were taken aback to see Kaori, Naomi, and old man Leopold already inside.
"What are you doing here, Father?" Lora asked, her voice tinged with surprise and a hint of anxiety.
Leopold looked up, his eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and determination. "Ah, Lora. I'm here to make an official quest. They want to join forces with this guild."
Lora's heart raced. "Oh, that's why… But this guild only has two adventurers, and both are unavailable."
