In a spacious two-story building in a modern style with a flat roof, it appears that several people gathered together.
"But, Chairman .. if it continues like this, our Guild will end badly."
The figure of the short girl with the body covered in an oversized hoodie jacket and face quite covered said in a doubtful tone. He seemed to feel a bit scared when he saw the chairman and his best friend.
"So what, Rea? Should I bow to them and ask them to stay?
If so, haven't I thrown away my pride? After all, compared to that guy .. we don't have a lot of money to make them stay."
The girl named Rea lowered her head, not daring at all to reply to the words of the woman in front of her.
In front of Rea, there was a black-haired female figure cut in a bob-style model (short piece of shoulder). The woman had light brown eyes with a tall and slender posture. His body seems to be well trained as well.
"I don't know, Leena .. ah! I mean, Chairman. I-I'm just worried about the fate of our Guild. After all, unlike Region D or Region F, we do not have a strong background.
Although it's a good deal for us to ride, but it's also very hard for us."
"Isn't Area B and Region C the same as ours? They have absolutely no strong background, do they?"
"Annu ..."
"Is there a problem? You should have said it directly, Rea."
"While it has no political background or large corporations, it seems that the chairman of the Dark Wings Guild (Mystery Department branch of City B) is not simple.
Blood Owl .. The person had a mysterious identity. It seemed that the reason he joined the organization was very different from the members in general. Also, I heard he even the military highly praised him."
"Ok .. I agree with that, but what about the Grey Stone Guild? Do you think that rock head Rocky is even better than me?"
"For Rocky's abilities, I can't comment much. He's not smart either, but ..."
"But???"
"Rocky is easy to make friends with almost anyone. According to the information I got, Rocky has a lot of friends in City C who really helped their Guild grow."
"So you said I wasn't easy to make friends with?"
"A-Anu .. but other than me who is your childhood friend, I don't think you can get along with the rest of the Guild."
Rea. Afraid that the woman named Leena would come and beat him.
The girl glanced towards Leena, but was surprised to see the figure of the woman speechless in place. It seemed stunned and felt it had received a heavy blow.
Rea bowed with a guilty expression on her face. Leena did not respond at all.
The figure of Leena who had been silent earlier suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Should I step down from the chairmanship, Rea?"
"No!" Rea answered immediately.
"Why?"
"That .. anu ..." Rea was a bit panicked when looking for an excuse. "Actually you can get familiar with the other members, Chairman. It's just that the man interrupted the process. Eventually, it all ends up being like this."
"..."
Leena looked towards Rea. After a moment of hesitation, the woman suddenly became excited.
"You're right, Rea! If it wasn't for Blonde digging the corner of our Guild, everything would have been fine.
Still is! That guy is so annoying!"
Geck! Geck! Geck!
At the moment of feeling excited, Leena immediately frowned when she heard the knock of the door. Resisting the anger, the woman then said.
"Lake in!"
The office door opened, a young man with a nervous and embarrassed expression entered the room.
Looking at the young man, Leena frowned.
"Don't I tell you that no one can interrupt this meeting, Kevin!"
"Anu .. I—"
"Don't blame her, Gummy Girl. He was forced to do it out of confusion as to what to do when I came."
Such a calm voice rang out as a male figure in all-black clothes walked into the room. What made her look even more conspicuous was the skull mask of the half-red face she was wearing.
Seeing that figure, a shocked expression instantly appeared on Leena and Rea's faces.
Gazing towards the red masked man, Leena could not help but ask.
"What are you doing here, Blood Owl?"
