Chapter 326: One Ryūzetsu
Inside the laboratory, John stood behind a secret door.
Brie slept peacefully at her desk not too far from him, her head resting on a pile of papers. Her body sagged against the desk, clearly showing the effects of long hours of work.
The whoosh of the entrance doors broke the silence, allowing Ryūzetsu to walk in. At first, she yawned, but then her expression turned to astonishment when she saw that it was John who had summoned her.
"Good morning, Ryūzetsu..."
"Eh..." she said after adjusting her face. "I— It's good to see you, lord John. What's going on?"
John rested his back against the wall before asking, "How are you feeling these days?"
The question almost caught her off guard.
"Honestly?" she began. "I've been feeling great."
"And what do you think about being here in the Jungle?"
"It's a big change from being an Anbu," she said after giving the question some thought, "but... I wouldn't go back to that."
John appreciated the candor and said, "That's good to hear."
