Chapter 41: Social Differences (Rewritten)
’So... how does someone get themselves in this situation?’
Sunny and Seele had been planning on heading to the Great Mine in order to find Oleg, the leader of Wildfire — a group that works to keep piece within the Underworld.
From what Sunny had learned in the past couple of days, Wildfire helps out the Underworld in plenty of ways. Upholding justice, fighting for resources, and distributing goods. Fortunately for him, Seele happened to work for them, giving him a one-way ticket to the top dog!
This left him somewhat confused, as Seele was one of Sunny’s subordinates in his new secret organization that he didn’t have a name for yet, but he simply decided to absorb Wildfire into it when the Stellaron crisis was solved. They were bound to be grateful for his efforts, so it would all work out just fine!
However... Sunny had been monitoring Bronya with his shadow ever since she left the clinic. The Overworlder had somehow found herself in a little trouble.
So he had dragged Seele in the direction of the Supreme Guardian’s daughter. He could still use the girl as a hostage if necessary, so he couldn’t let her get killed off by some no-names.
And this led to Sunny and Seele blending into a small crowd, watching the strange situation in front of them.

She seemed to have gotten into a confrontation with some vagrants, who were all armed with makeshift rifles. Bronya had a deep frown on her face, agitated by them.
Meanwhile, there was Sampo standing in between them, attempting to diffuse the situation with a nervous grin.
"Now, now... Miss Bronya over here hasn’t done anything wrong, has she? Maybe you should calm down before Wildfire catches wind of this..."
