In a small house in the city, the Torrent Squad was gathered. Some of them were playing cards, one was polishing his weapon, some others were lounging around, while a young lady in their group was sipping her tea in a corner.
"Denise? Are you still troubled by what happened?" Leonel, the Torrent Squad's leader, asked their squad's youngest member.
"N-no. I'm just thinking about our next mission. We're going to the Ruri Kingdom, right?" Denise quickly replied as she tried to avoid the topic.
She was indeed disturbed by the previous incident in the city since she knew that Eustace and Constance were not heretics as the Archbishop had claimed.
Lotus didn't say anything to her, but Denise could tell that she was hiding something.
'Is that guy really Vale? Ugh... I should have followed them.' Denise thought as she felt the need to learn a Sound Transmission Spell to be able to communicate secretly with someone.
