At ten o'clock that night, Nearshore District, Star Envoy Association · Deep Blue Branch · Office Building.
Rumble!
In mid-September, the weather in Deep Blue Metropolis was unpredictable.
Accompanied by a peal of thunder that tore across the sky above the sea, the Nearshore District, where the sun had still blazed brightly during the day beneath the ocean's surface, had somehow begun to drizzle by nightfall—and the rain only grew heavier.
Tap—
Gorn's black leather boots stepped into a puddle as he held an umbrella and walked toward the entrance hall of the Deep Blue Branch's office building.
Unlike his somewhat bizarre attire in front of Tiandao and the others.
Gorn had not only removed that ridiculous Husky Mask, but had also changed out of his tacky referee uniform and into the fitted, crow-feather-black Association Star Envoy uniform he now wore.
Gorn looked up at the raindrops steadily falling from the sky and could not help muttering, "We're already in a nearshore area surrounded by seawater, yet they still insist on creating this troublesome weather system. What, do they think constantly changing weather gives it some kind of sense of ceremony?"
Gorn shook his head speechlessly, then folded his black umbrella and placed it in the umbrella rack beside the entrance.
After brushing the remaining rainwater from the shoulders of his uniform, Gorn strode straight into the brightly lit building amid the rainy night.
Although it was already after work hours, a great number of clerical staff were still busy inside the branch building.
When they saw Gorn's distinctive Association Star Envoy uniform and the Association Emblem on his chest.
They all stopped what they were doing without prior agreement and lowered their heads in greeting.
Gorn was not arrogant in response. He nodded politely to every one of them.
