Chapter 93: [Daves POV] (1/2)

*Ring*

*Ring*

Dave's new smartphone started ringing just as he reached his home on the beach coast.

He had just reached home after finishing long and tiring paper works back in his guild office.

Without moving his torso, Dave in a quick motion took out his phone from his jean pocket and opened the door to his room.

”Hm?”

Dave perched his eyebrows as he read the name displaying on his new phone gifted to him by Raka.

”Cypher?”

The text, which was in black, was flashing rapidly as a caller tune welcomed Dave's attention. It was a tune he had never heard before. The phone itself was a new one, he acquired it in a parcel which was mailed by Raka in front of his guild house.

There was a memo affixed with the parcel, which helped him instigate and stimulate the services of the modern device.

The memo the parcel contained was also an answer to Dave's striking disarray about what those weird poles Raka had asked him to prep around the continent.

It was a 'Signal Tower' according to the memo sent by Raka.

Dave would always marvel, about how his teammate and comrade Raka was this proficient in concocting these sorts of gadgets, which were basically out of his cognition reasoning.

.....

His parents were in the kitchen, cutting onions and beans. It was already 7.30 pm. They were preparing for dinner.

Dave nodded to his Dad's high-pitched singing as he closed the door behind him... It was pretty good, he reckoned.

Without another delay, Dave swiped right and accepted the call from his captain.

”Yes, Captain?”

Dave spoke into the smartphone microphone.

It took no time for the reply to arrive from the phone receiver.

”Ah... Dave, we've got a problem”

Cypher's voice was deep and soothing but the way he spoke to Dave seemed that something did trouble him.

”Tell me, captain”

Dave said as he shuffled closer to his bathroom. It was a very tough day, he at least needed a good chilling bath, to wash off the built-up stress waltzing inside his body.

”I'll tell you face to face. Now what I need you to do is to rest for some time, do what you want during your break and arrive in front of the Guild house in an hour”

”Eh?... Ok, Captain, as you say”

Dave spoke just in time as the call ended.

He waddled back to his side table and stationed his smartphone with care on the smooth polished surface.

Just as the hand freed his smartphone from it, he shrugged.

”*Sigh* This is hella exhausting...”
