Jade & Latte
Riverbank

The phone has been ringing since this morning. All the calls came from the offices of the Genesis Affiliation Agency, an organization set up by the government to take down all the agencies allowed to stamp out fiends at Domfront.

They asked Jade and Latte to come to the headquarters and give a description of the annihilation of the fiend yesterday.

Triiiing Triying

For the umpteenth time the phone rings. With his face down, Latte picked up the phone and then closed it back down.

“I don't think it out. They rejected all our applications to get that stupid certificate. When there are problems, they are always late. After we solve the problem, they ask us to give a statement. Should be without those requirements we can already be the best agency in this city”

Jade just sat watching television and ate cheese-flavored potato chips. He doesn't care much about being the number one agency. But Latte was different, ever since they both graduated from the magic academy. Latte is very ambitious to make her magic agency number one in Domfront.

Triiing Triiing

The phone call rang again, but this time Latte picked up the phone while nagging.

“What!! You guys want to fine us huh ? we only solve problems that you guys are not working on”

“Sorry in advance mistress for the inconvenience of our service. We from Genesis Affiliate Agency would like to inform you that Jade And Latte agency is recommended to follow agency certification selection at our head office”

The mood of Latte suddenly changed. The originally angry one now became very happy to hear

the news

“I've-what ? certificate recommendation ? This is true aren't you kidding ?”

“True madam, two days ago we already sent an official email for an invitation

our certification”

Latte rushed back to her work chair and turned on her old computer screen.

After checking his email, there was an unopened message.

“I wonder why you didn't open your email address. Yes although the possibility is very small if there are customers who send us emails, there is no harm in you checking it”

“I just forgot, after all why not just be our email admin?  you have more free time than I do, right?”

“No thanks, crush the fiend better. At least it's not

boring”

“We have to open a job.”

Jade's gaze that had been glued to the television screen was distracted by Latte's statement.

“Hah ? Look for other jokes Latte.”

“No, I'm serious we have to open a job to take the certification exam it”

Lattes

looking at Jade with a confident look.

“For a while I still don't understand what you mean. What certification exam ?"

"We get an invitation to take the agency certification exam, the exam is two months away. They called to confirm whether we received it or not"

"Then you answer what ?"

"Of course Jade! I definitely accept it, this is one of the steps to make our agency more known to many people and finally be able to become the number one agency."

Jade took a deep breath. According to him, Latte's ambition to make his agency number one is too big, he does not want to waste energy to hold it.

"OK but recruiting people without any planning is stupid, you have to spend money to pay them.”

“Iya I know, but we need. One of the conditions for taking the exam is that we need four people who can use magic. And if we get the agent's certificate, we can get the help fund from the center then we also get regular missions from them with that we can pay the new member”

Jade already knew the stubborn nature of Latte, she did not want to spend energy just to argue with him.

“Okay well who would want to enter our agency ? An agency that does not

“I've thought of one person, the rest we think of later”

Latte looked at Jade, thinking Jade was also wondering what she thought.

“You also must have known who the person is not Jade ?”

Jade stared at Latte's face with a flat look. Inside his mind was a name that seemed to be Latte's choice. An old comrade when they were in the magic academy. The person they knew was close enough.

The face of Jade who had been flat from earlier suddenly changed. He already knew Latte's answer, because they used to be quite close to this person. New agency candidate.

“No..Don't that person”

Latte smiled she was happy Jade could think of the same person.

“Iya, That person would want if we invite him to join us”

“He won't want, we've already taken him first”

Jade again put on her flat face.

“Yes because he said at that time he still had business to complete, maybe now his business is done. Anyway we should try first, we both know her abilities as a Jade witch, she will be of great help. Especially for now”

Latte insisted on inviting this person to join them.

The debate continues. Jade convinces Latte to find another candidate, however

within him he understood that no magician would join a small agency let alone without any wages at all. Inevitably Jade followed Latte's request. He agreed to bring along an old friend.

First they look for information on the whereabouts of their old friends. Latte remembered that he kept the graduation book from the academy. He tried to call the phone number in the book. Latte opened each page looking for a name that read River Van Near. The graduation book was quite thick, the number of magic academy disciples in their generation at that time was around three hundred students. Even if there are no students who come out in the middle of the school year can be more.

Unlike the Latte, Jade only watched television shows as usual. He did not want to help Latte, because from the beginning he did not agree with his idea. But in his mind he tried to remember the destination of his old friend after graduation. He only remembered that his friend wanted to find groups of fiend worshippers. Suddenly Latte shouted while pointing to a photo of a man, on top of which read the name “River”. The River Van Near.

“can! Hopefully the number can still be contacted”

“I'm sure once that number has been removed”

“Connect!”

Jade was surprised that she looked straight at Latte, making her miss the scene******* on the television show.

“Cannot”

“Halo.”

A soft female voice answered Latte's call.

“Iya hello ?”

Latte had thought what was true said by Jade if the number River had been replaced. But he still wanted to make sure that maybe the one who answered his call was his family.

“Can talk to this River from his friend Latte while at yggdrasil academy.”

“I'm his sister, Brother River has been a week away from home.”

Latte was suddenly confused by the answer.

“Do you know now where it is?”

“what business with my brother”

“My name is Latte I'm a friend of River in magic academy, I'm in need of his help”

“Latte ? you're Latte Irish ? My brother talks about you a lot, he says you're the son of a-“

“hahaha yes so you don't know where River is ? then thank you sorry for interrupting your time”

“Wait not to close first, there's something I want to tell you. It's about River but I can't

tell you over the phone. We meet in the district four at one noon tomorrow near MiddleSun hill there is an old factory that is not used. I told you there.”
