After using a Return Scroll, Arianne arrived at their "safe house," situated more than a hundred kilometers from the Empire's capital city.
However, upon arrival, she immediately realized... they fucked up.
"Everyone! Food is over here! Please form a line!"
"If you have injuries, please take a potion from this station! Just one sip, and you should be back in shape!"
"For those who have been separated from their families, please come here to register so we can assist you! Don't worry, we'll find your family members, for sure!"
The 180 soldiers of Sophia whom the girls had "borrowed" were working tirelessly, managing the sudden influx of prisoners in need of assistance.
To avoid intimidating those they had rescued, the soldiers were not in their usual armor. Instead, they wore outfits labeled as "Shaolin training clothes," which gave them a monk-like appearance... but with hair instead of being skinheads.
Arianne gazed toward the back, where their "safehouse" was located.
