November 7th, Saturday night.
In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Green Forest City.
"This should be the second gathering Jazz has convened since the Green Forest Massacre, right?"
Using the identity of "Rapier," Aaron passed the inspection of the hunchbacked gatekeeper and entered the factory hall.
The surroundings were exceedingly empty, with only scattered figures in robes and hoods standing about.
No long table, no stools... It feels like the whole affair has suddenly dropped several grades...
Aaron had not attended the previous gathering. He had run into that Resno and, through sheer bad luck, missed the gathering time.
Though compared with the other party, it was hard to say who had been more unfortunate...
With a slight sweep of his eyes, he found Clark, "Knowledge," and Bruce, "Apprentice." After exchanging greetings with their eyes, several more people entered through the main doors.
Nicholas, "The Cleric," and Lilliat, "White Dove," were among them.

Naturally, she did not know that "Rapier" was Mr. Yasuo, the Divine Envoy, but she knew that "Rapier" had joined the Invisible Cult and was truly one of their own.
Mr. Yasuo said that "Rapier" had a mission last time and could not attend the organization's gathering. He should have completed it by now, right?
Lilliat did not act overly familiar. Instead, she found a corner and quietly waited for the gathering to begin.
More than ten minutes later, Jazz entered the factory slowly, holding a candelabrum. He looked around the room, his voice gentle and magnetic. "We can begin!"
"There are a few more people this time than last time, so I'll reiterate the rules. There is no secret-trading segment. If you want to trade, do it
