''I hope this is satisfactory.'' It was early in the morning the sun was barely speaking above the horizon, when Aella boldly strode into madam's office with the most recent newspaper in her hand. The madam herself was going through some documents when Aella threw the paper on her table and interrupted her.

The mature woman looked up and saw the standing lady with a wide grin on her face and with those dark eyes indicating her to read the newspaper. Without saying anything madam turned her attention to the paper and with steady speed picked it up and opened it. The moment she did the first thing that popped in front of her was a title with big bold letters that made her smile.

''So it looks like you did it.'' Madam put down the paper and looked at Aella. The dark lady was by now sitting in one of the chairs with a relaxed attitude, waiting for madam. ''And you did it excellently.'' Hearing that Aella couldn't help but smile, the only thing she did was curse the target, and the rest of the lifting was done by his own ego.

''Thank you for the compliment, but I have to say it was more of a self-destruction than anything else.''

''Maybe so, but it still wouldn't be possible without you.''

''Oh, I know so I will be gracefully taking my reward.'' Aella knew what her contribution was in all of this, so she wasn't shy about asking for her reward. Seeing this madam didn't get mad but smiled even wider because she knew that without Aella her revenge would be just a distant dream.

''Of course.'' Without any more delay, madam took out something from her table's desc. It looked like a large coin. Aella stood up and took it from madam's hand. Taking a closer look the coin was pure black with golden outlines, and in the middle of the coin, there was a mole drawn in gold. Aella was a little surprised by the drawing of this animal but she lingered in it for just a moment before she looked up at madam with a confused look.

''Don't worry I haven't screwed you over, if that's what you think.'' Madam saw the look on Aella's face and continued her explanation. '' That token can let you in some place that you normally have no access to. Just know that when the mole, opened its eyes you will be close to one of these places.''

''Sure.'' Aella was still not fully convinced, plus she didn't like the riddle, but it didn't look like madam was lying to her, so she just went with it. She could use some force to get more information from the mature lady, but in Aella's eyes it wasn't worth it, of course, if she discovers that this token was useless she will reconsider her thinking.

''And here's a bonus.'' Madam took another coin from her drawer and pushed it forward to Aella. This token also was circular but it was golden with an 'M' in the middle of it. It had some symbols around the edges, but that was it.

''With this, I owe you a favor, and as long as I can do it and is reasonable I will do my best to do it.'' This token for the moment felt more valuable than the other one for Aella. So she took it with a smile.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

''Now that my business is done, I will be taking my leave.'' Aella put both of the tokens into a pouch and announced her leave to madam.'' If you ever need me, you know how to get hold of me.'' And with that, Aella returned to her realm, leaving madam alone in her office.

After Aella disappeared, madam took another look at the newspaper before returning to her previous task.

*BANG* It wasn't long before she was interrupted again, moving her vision up to see who was the one that so loudly and violently opened her office door, madam wasn't surprised when she saw Mina standing there. The redhead looked somewhat disheveled and somewhat in shock. Madam didn't say anything and let the young woman catch her breath and speak first.

''Did you hear about the news!?'' These were the first words that came out of Mina's mouth, but again madam didn't even feel a little bit of surprise, if anything she was expecting this.

''Good morning to you too Mina, and yes I have heard.'' Madam greeted Mina before she returned to her documents.

''But... wha-!?'' Mina was little shocked because she was expecting something else, not this nonchalant response, and madam could see that so she returned her gaze back to Mina.

''Did you expect my response to be different?'' Madam had taken care of Mina for a long time, so she could read the redhead practically like an open book.

''Well yes, I thought you would be more excited about these news, after all that bastard is dead, and he died in such a humiliating way.''

''I'm happy about it, but you have to remember that although he was an insufferable Eric was still part of the Goldhand family.'' Madam returned back to her documents as she continued. ''So you can probably guess that they won't be happy if people start celebrating one of their member's deaths so openly, plus I have work to do.''

Hearing what madam said Mina claimed down because the mature woman was right. It was no secret that many hated Eric and were probably quietly celebrating his death, but people also knew that if they started doing it in the open, the Goldhand family will take that as a disrespect and then those who celebrated will be in trouble.

Madam wasn't saying that Mina should not be happy about Eric's death, but she did say that she could keep that to herself as all the others did. So without saying anything more Mina just nodded and went out of the office and quietly closed the door behind her, leaving madam again alone with her work.

Aella was in her home, so she put the stuff she got from this trip in some corner and decided to take a shower. She had plenty of showers back in the mortal world, but for some reason, the shower in her home felt better. Not taking her time Aella got ready and went to her shower.

While she was enjoying the water sliding down her skin, she thought about her most recent summon, more precisely about the mole token. Aella had enough mind to figure out that that token could either lead her to some secret market, organization, that deals in some more sketchy things, or to some kind of treasure, and remembering what madam said it was probably one of the first two.

Leaving the reward aside, the time she spent in the core world this time was quite nice, although the days were somewhat repetitive Aella still had fun, so she hoped that her next summon would be soon. It wasn't that she had no fun in the Safury plane, but the mortal world was more fun for her.

Still thinking about this, Aella got out of the shower and got dressed, now she had some time to spend so she started to think what she could do while thinking about it she started to play with the ring she got from, the green ring smoothly slid between her finger, while the silver hair inside it reflected the moon's light that shined through the window.

''I could go visit Zira.'' After this idea came to her, Aella didn't hesitate to get ready and go visit the silver-haired beauty. But after stepping a few steps out of the house she disappeared with a cloud of black smoke, and when the smoke cleared there was a summoning circle left in her spot, that soon after also disappeared.
