A week had passed since Zero, along with Azel and Olivia, had left to go on the so-called out-of-town vacation. On this day, as per the agreement with the Branch House's butler, Wilhelm Od Akad, the three of them would be fetched on Redan City by the same carriage driver he had recommended, which marked the end of their short vacation. They would then utilize the sole Rift Hole available, transporting them to South Thread City, their city home, which also housed another Rift Hole device on its own.
Being mercenaries, which was a part of the Mercenary Guild and a type of Explorer Guild, Zero and the two maids were eligible for passage in such a ginormous arc-shaped teleportation structure.
"Welcome home, Young Master!"
As heaven's light brought its warmth in this afternoon glow, Zero was greeted by a line of maids standing between the intricately-made stone path, with their heads lowered.
