She was about to wrap up her paperwork and get ready to start her regular petrol duties for the day But her usual routine was hit by a pause when she received a sealed scroll from one of the subordinates under her

The scroll was sealed by a runic line so she had to iet it unsealed

'Meet me at Galvan cliff, just before the day sets in'

The scroll only had these eleven words written inside it But just before she could throw the scroll down thinking that it was fro to confess to her most ether and formed another set of words:

'I know you work for the cultists'

The words disappeared along with the dissipating ain Arizihana had athose words She clutched the scroll in her hand tightly and started thinking about who the person that had sent the scroll could be

'damn it I took every precaution I could, but it still leaked out It h Those damn Beast Bloods lunatics can't keep their mouths shut If the beans have been spilt, it must be from their end'

"Haah! I'o, May This is serious

Reo? It has co to black to use againsther hands She wasn't interested in the usual romance that would take place every time she called the spectral shadow The soup she had found herself in demanded serious attention not only from her but also from May after all

"Say what now? And wait, do you think it was because of us?"
