Days passed, and the day of the annual guild convention finally arrived.
[You'll come with us?] A voice came from the terminal.
"Yeah, let me hitch to your group again." Rise stood in front of the mirror, brushing his silver hair and adjusting his suit.
[Suddenly? You don't like attending events. Wait... huh? Yeah, I'm talking to Rise.] Someone was saying something at the end. [Shut up for a moment. Sorry, Rise, Alphen's pissed off you ignored his gate raid invite.]
Rise laughed mockingly. "I'm busy, don't have time to babysit." He heard a hard curse, making him laugh harder. He ignored the annoying one and returned the topic to what he was saying.
"I got news, something exciting is going to happen this year." He smirked, "Of course, I have to be there."
Captain Nikolai, on the other end, and the others found that this made sense. Normally, Rise only attends events he deems exciting; if not, he would rather do some gate raids.
"Okay, sure."
