We were ready before 8.30 AM even arrived. Cecilia woke up the earliest. She took her role as the tavern owner very quickly. By the time the first players rolled into the tavern for some breakfast, they were greeted by the inviting smell of freshly-baked goods and the strong aroma that came from a huge pot of steaming coffee.
Those who came early had time to enjoy breakfast while chatting with each other animatedly. Those who came late did not have time for that, but Cecilia thankfully had arranged for coffee and baguettes to be packed neatly for everyone to enjoy during the trip to Dimensional Sphere.
Most people came early, but those who were supposed to run the raid that day could barely get anything down their throats. Everyone was nervous and scared. The good mood from yesterday's dinner seemed to be swept away at night, replaced with reality. A lot of them sat in their seats quietly without speaking to anyone. Each of them was busy with their own thoughts.
