"In other words, you paid me a lot of money to participate in this exploration of District 5, just to help these three little devils make investigation records?" Dr. Medóli rubbed the teacup in his hand with some dissatisfaction.

"We are fully aware that you have far more combat strength than the three members of the team we have sent, but we have no relevant skills when it comes to intelligence gathering and data analysis, so we hope that you can give your team some more support in this regard! If there is a special situation that requires fighting, just leave it to three of our team members to take care of! Lista bowed her head slightly and explained respectfully.

"Well, after all, you hired me on your own initiative, and I still have to follow your arrangement according to the agreement. But then again, it's no surprise that not just you, but no area other than our Sector 1 will have hypertech. Adori said proudly.

"Hehe, yes, especially you, as the first branch leader of the Chief Guild of District 1 - Poison Fang, it is said that you have mastered nearly thirty percent of the cutting-edge technology in the guild! That's why we've hired you by name for this operation! Lista laughed.

"Okay, okay, don't say more flattering polite words! If there are no other arrangements, I will go out with my assistant Agua to buy the supplies needed for the mission! Dr. Medóli waved his hand and stood up to leave.

"Killer Whale has prepared a sumptuous dinner for the five team members who participated in the action, and I hope you will return to the guild base before eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner is not only to see you off, but also a good opportunity for the team members to communicate with each other and run in!" Lista bowed to Dr. Medóri's back, then closed the door to the conference room.

"Bastard!" President Carred with his fist on the table.

"Is this like a picture of a hired person!? Could it be that I spent hundreds of fish balls to hire him just to say these sarcastic things to make me feel good? He was angry and pushed Lista who was standing aside.

"Go, get me something to eat!" He yelled.

Lista's slender figure was pushed by his huge fat palm, and the whole person staggered against the wall, the tray in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, and the teacup placed on it also knocked to the ground.

"Idiot! Don't clean up yet! Carred yelled.

"I, I'll help!" Sophia quickly stood up, helped her pick up the scattered pieces of teacups, and found a mop to clean the tea from the ground.

For a moment, she caught the change in the expression on Lista's face.

It was a change from a hideous expression of extreme disgust to a gentle and sweet smile in an instant, and the whole process happened in less than a second!

"Leigh... Miss Lista? Sophia was a little stunned and looked up at Lista.

"Thank you, I'll take care of the rest~" She raised her head and a gentle smile hung on her lips.

"Hmm... Good... Good! Sophia blushed and showed her the same smile.

Before leaving, Lysta stood in the doorway and looked back at the three team members present:

"Please have a good rest before leaving tomorrow, all expenses incurred in the process will be paid by the guild, please adjust your state to the best, and strive to successfully complete this mission to explore Area 5!" With that, he turned and left the conference room.

"Then Lord Carreid, the three of us are leaving! Before the dinner, we still need to prepare some props for the mission! Asker, as the captain, stood up and said respectfully to Cred.

Sofia and Capella also got up together, and the three of them saluted President Carred together and left the conference room in an orderly manner.

……

In the lounge, the three of them sat together.

"President Karred is really grumpy~" Capella sighed.

"Actually, it's the first time I've come into contact with an elder so closely, and I've only heard about him from my mentors and instructors. Merely... It's a little different from what was rumored," Asker lamented.

In the face of the two complaints, Sophia was silent, silently sitting on the chair and wiping the staff in her hand.

"Sister Sophia, the three of us will be teammates fighting together in the future, we have to maintain a restrained attitude on formal occasions, but if we communicate in private like this, we don't need to be so restrained~" Capella sat next to Sophia and put one hand on her shoulder.

At the end of the meeting, all three of them took off their weapons and equipment that they would only wear on formal occasions and changed back into the ordinary clothes they usually wear in their daily lives.

Sophia was dressed in a long purple dress, and her long black hair was draped down her shoulders. Approaching her, Capella felt a burst of fragrance.

"Huh? Do you also use the 'Little Conch' hair lotion? Capella was pleasantly surprised, picking up a handful of her hair and sniffing it.

"Yes! This is the most popular brand right now! And the hair care effect is great, and the price is super affordable! Sophia replied happily.

"By the way, the care solution I use for the staff is also of this brand, and it is said to extend the durability of the staff!" She pulled out a purple vial from her small satchel and handed it to Capella.

"Oh, you're so exquisite! I don't usually have a habit of maintaining a staff! Sister Sophia deserves to be a trainee star who is favored by everyone! Capella laughed and put her arms around the shy Sophia.

"No... It's not like that~ I just happened to master the use of burst magic slightly faster than my peers~" She said with a shyly face.

"Alright, let's go out and buy the props we need for the operation! In the evening, a sumptuous dinner awaits us! Asker interrupted the conversation between the two girls.

"Cut! Bored man..."Capella smacked her lips and glanced at him.

"I'm guessing you're still single, right?" Capella leaned over to him and said.

"Dry... Why do you ask this!? Asker blushed and turned his gaze to the side.

"You've been staring at Sophia's face for a long time, and you've already started to cheer in your heart: 'It's so lucky to be on a mission with such a lovely girl!' Something like that? ”

"Where is it?" Esker blushed and pushed Capela away.

"I'm going first, you guys hurry up and follow!" He walked out of the break room with his head bowed and staggered.

"Poof!" Capella laughed out loud, "Our captain is a little dumb~"
