Audrey nodded slightly. "All right, then may I ask what you need us to do?"
"I'm not too sure either. It depends. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"..."
Audrey quietly drew a breath. "Then where are the two new members?"
"Ah..."
Alday smacked her forehead in realization. "I knew I'd forgotten something again. I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring them along. Ah, no, what I really meant was, of course our first meeting should take place somewhere more formal."
She extended a hand to Audrey. "Come on, I'll take you there."
The instant Audrey touched her fingers, both of them turned illusory. Audrey felt everything before her grow hazy and indistinct. When her vision cleared, they had already arrived at the Psychology Alchemists' branch base.
"That was Dream Traversal. You can use the dreams of people around you to jump from place to place. Once you advance to Sequence 5, you'll be able to use it too."
An envious look immediately appeared on Audrey's face. She had only advanced to Hypnotist two weeks ago, and she had no idea how long it would take to finish digesting the potion.
"Oh, they're here."
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock at the door, and a man and a woman walked in, both so ordinary-looking that they would disappear in a crowd. Wearing extremely false smiles, they greeted Alday and Audrey. "Hello, Ms. Alday. Hello, Miss Audrey."
"Uh, hello, you two..."
Audrey looked at them questioningly.
The man pressed his right hand to his chest and bowed slightly. "I'm a new member, Edessak Augustus."
The woman waved her hand. "I'm Helena Augustus."
"???"
Audrey's emerald pupils suddenly contracted in utter shock. "You..."
The two exchanged a glance and smiled.
"We're back."
