Samuel turned to the others with a relaxed expression. Now that they had returned from the burning Ruin with the mission object in their hands and without any serious injuries, the tension that had followed them through the mission finally faded. They could finally relax.
"I'll go report the mission. After that, we'll have a good dinner tonight. I'm sure the reward from this mission will be good," Samuel said.
"Oh, yeah. I'm sure it will be. Let's get drunk tonight after a good meal!" Don said with a wide laugh.
Leyan, Maira, and Arven smiled, sharing the same excitement. Clyde smiled along with them. Just like the others, he felt that the mission had produced an excellent result for him, though only he knew what that result truly meant. He could not share it with them.
"You're coming with us later, right, Jack?" Don asked, looking at Clyde.
The others turned toward him as well, waiting for his answer.
Clyde shrugged casually. "I guess there's no harm in it."
