Chapter 37: Preparing For The Expedition
Azulus stood calmly at the agreed meeting point, her oversized katana resting against the paved stones beside her.
She glanced toward Kivas and Samael the moment they stepped into view, and then gestured behind her with a slight tilt of the head.
"I managed to recruit three more," she announced. "Hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," Kivas replied. "The more the merrier."
Samael gave a simple nod in agreement.
Standing behind Azulus were three distinct individuals.
The first was a cloaked figure whose entire body seemed to waver in form, as though made from compressed mist. His outline held, but his features were in constant flux, like vapor barely stitched together by will.
Despite his lack of a face, he gave a polite half-bow.
"Joyhan. Fog-borne, in a way. But in this world, I'm still considered a human," he said, voice airy and smooth, echoing faintly as if spoken from multiple directions at once. "F-grade, nice to meet you."
"Kivas Chariot. I'm a new Void Hunter, nice to meet you all!" She then pointed to Samael. "This is Samael, same circumstances, but less sociable."
Samael merely smileD faintly, more so from Kivas' adorable attempt more than the joy of meeting new people.
