From MC's perspective:
"Zack?" Laverne called out my name.
Hearing that my thoughts returned to reality.
"Ah, it's nothing," I continued to eat.
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other.
They understood something bothering Zack's mind. So they continued to eat without disturbing him.
20 minutes later,
We walked out of the dining hall.
"Zack, are you coming with us to the monster zone?" Laverne asked.
"No, I have a different plan. You guys can go without me," I replied.
Hearing that Ernest and Laverne got separated here. They started heading towards the teleportation tower.
As for me, I decided to go to the office building.
Soon, I reached the place. As I walked upstairs, I came across the faction heads' cabin.
Last time, Dean's destruction has caused them to locate further from her place.
