After Castor's "unexpected visit," Winters followed the agreement and headed to Blackwater Town to meet with Bard and Andre.
Since they had been dispersed and deployed, this was the first time the three of them gathered together. After a long absence, their reunion was especially warm, with endless topics to talk about.
Bard clicked his tongue in wonder as he circled Redmane, examining the horse, even lifting its hooves one by one for inspection, and gave his verdict, "This is a good horse."
"Like you needed to say it?" Andre retorted with a laugh.
Without spending the night in Blackwater Town, Winters and Bard changed to the horses Andre had borrowed from Dusa Village in Blackwater Town, and the three immediately set out to meet the "senior" Bard had mentioned.
"Which class of senior is it?" During a pause on the road, Andre couldn't help but ask Bard, "Do we know him?"
"You two definitely don't know him, nor do I. He's my squad leader's squad leader."
