Chapter 315: Anywhere Else
Arthur sat comfortably in his throne room.
In front of him was none other than Ryugetsu. With one tap of his armchair, Ryugetsu vanished. His destination: outside the doors of the Fire Temple.
Normally, Arthur would employ stealth and infiltrate the temple, but there was no need for this. Ryugetsu was known and respected here.
As Ryugetsu appeared before the doors of the Fire Temple, he raised his hand and lightly knocked. The door opened and revealed a pair of monks dressed in traditional robes.
"Who comes to our temple?" one asked.
"Tis I, brother Ryugetsu," he replied with a warm smile. "I've returned."
"I've never heard of—"
"Brother Ryugetsu!" the other monk said, interrupting the first. Clearly the first monk had been a new recruit. "I thought it was you! Welcome back! Brother Chiriku has been awaiting your return."
Amused, Ryugetsu chuckled and said, "That's reassuring to know, but I'm actually here for another brother."
"Another brother? Who could it be?"
Ryugetsu was going to keep that matter to himself. He raised a dismissive hand and said, "Now, now, I can always see him later. Let's look for brother Chiriku first since he's been awaiting my arrival."
