When Airi returned to the entrance of the agency, she was surprised to find that everyone else was still there.
"What are you all doing?"
"Ah, Miss Airi!"
Seeing Airi descend from the sky, quite a few people showed relieved expressions. The red-haired girl with the long braid hurriedly spoke up.
"Did you see that just now? There was suddenly thunder, and it even seemed like there was an earthquake..."
At that point, the red-haired girl stopped and stared in astonishment at Airi's now somewhat tattered clothes. No matter how she looked at them, it seemed as if Airi had just been in a fight.
"Could that have been Miss Airi...?"
"More or less. I originally wanted to blast open a passage and leave this world directly, but unfortunately... there was a bit of trouble."
Ignoring the strange looks from the others, Airi smiled faintly and rolled her eyes.
"By the way, how about we make a deal?"
"...A deal?"
"That's right."
Airi nodded.
"I happen to know a little about surviving in places like this, as well as combat skills. If you're willing, I can teach you those skills."
"Really?!"
Hearing that, the red-haired girl immediately became excited, and many others showed eager expressions as well. They had only just arrived in this world and knew absolutely nothing. They did not even remember their own pasts. Under such circumstances, having someone willing to guide them was naturally the best thing they could ask for.
"Then what's the price?"
However, at that moment, the white-haired thug spoke again. He stared at Airi and asked.
"Do you want money?"
"Money is useless to me, and the things here are far too backward to be of any value to me."
Airi shook her head.
"I need you to gather information for me."
