Only once the night fell did they finally leave the bathroom. While the courtesans went back to their establishment, the trio finally having dressed up went to the living room to be served dinner. The luxury of the dining room was no joke either with a single table capable of enabling twenty people to eat at least. The sheer wealth spent on the mansion was obvious to whoever saw it.

As they sat down and waited for their new staff to bring them the meal, they heard loud footsteps from someone thin...Ah. Right. They remembered at that moment that there was also the priestess here.

She opened the door to the room violently and entered. Then she began to question the trio with lot of zeal. Obviously, her endeavor was fruitless as they just joked around.

Adeline: How can you have so much money?!

Shen: Harvested it from trees.

Adeline: Why did you buy a mansion?!

Tempest: I may look like a wolf but i do not live in the wild.

Adeline: Why are there so many servants?!

Atem: We are getting old, we need people to take care of us.

Adeline: What is wrong with you three?!

Shen: A whole lot of things. But that aside, come sit down, let's eat.

In the end, she gave up and ate with them. It was a real feast to say the least. As they were getting ready to leave, she plucked her courage and asked them once more:

Adeline: Please, tell me what is going on.

They turned around to the anxious girl, and alternated between each other before. The feeling of tension, fear and anxiety were so visible on her face that they couldn't just dodge it. Shen sighed and spoke:

Shen: Do you mind if I make it simple?

Adeline: It would be better than nothing, I guess. I mean, i'm very scared right now.

He nodded and answered her:

Shen: You could just consider yourself to have lucked out and enjoy it all, you know. The thing is: we are very strong and very wealthy. As to why and how, I can't yet say. However, you can rest assured and safely for we genuinely invited you to join us. True, you are extremely weak compared to us right now but what we saw isn't the present, it's the future. You have potential and we are betting on this. That's about it? Any questions?

Adeline: Yes. I-

Shen: No? Good! Let's go sleep then. Tomorrow, we have a long day!

And after that, they left the room leaving Adeline alone to ponder on the events of the last few days. She went back to her room where Albert was waiting with her personnal maid, Celine. Celine was a young human girl in her last teen years. She wasn't far off from Adeline in age. She was very warm to others and it did not take long for Adeline to enjoy her company.It made the situation easier.

Maid Celine: Ah! Miss Adeline! How was your meal?

Adeline: Incredible. I had never tasted something so delicious before!

Maid Celine: Pfft, please, don't exaggerate. Someone like you must have enjoye millions of delicacies before!

Adeline: Uh? No?

Maid Celine: Eh~There's no need to hide it, you know~

Butler Albert: Celine, stop this. Miss Adeline, how about a bath now that it is available?

Adeline: Yes, that sounds lovely.

Butler Albert: Celine, lead the miss there.

Maid Celine: Al~right~ Miss Adeline, this way, please!

Once the two had left, Albert went to the window and began to make a dozen different hand signs. Those signs were witnessed by someone many meters away through the use of a telescope.

In one of the office rooms, Shen was sitting behind a desk while the two others were each lazing on a sofa.

Atem: You do realize that there must be a few spies in all of those employees, right?

Shen: I do.

Atem: Then?

Tempest: Should we hunt them? Let's hunt them!

Shen: No. We won't do anything, it is pointless. We have no reasons to act and waste time on trifial shits.

Atem: That's true.

Tempest: So sad.Ah! But what if they were to act first?!

Shen: They won't. Not until after the tests anyways and after those...Well...No one would want to mess with us.

Atem: The spies would remain though.

Shen: Is there any reasons for us to care about them?

Atem: ...No. I just don't enjoy being watched.

Tempest: You did not seem to mind today.

Atem: Those are two different kinds of being watched and you know it.

Shen: Stop it, let's not argue further, just leave them be. They can't touch us and we have no reasons to involve ourselves with them.

Atem & Tempest: Fine.

Atem: So, do we just wait now?

Shen: Do you have a better idea? I plan to go to the library tomorrow. There might be records of us and them.

Atem: I should probably stay here with the girl. She was far too anxious during dinner. I am sure that if i provide her with a few teachings tomorrow, she will get better.

Shen: Go for it. What about you, Tempest?

Tempest: Brothel.

Shen & Atem: ...

Shen: Whatever. Just don't mess around too hard. And no murders.

Tempest: No problem, you know me!

The Bathroom was gigantic. It was probably the biggest of all rooms inside the mansion. There were four pools inside it, each as big as her bedroom. Adeline had a hard time believing her situation.

"Adeline: Did I really luck out and find some golden thigh to hang onto? Or is it a poisonned one? Why would they want someone like me? Potential? I don't have any such thing or the Order would have noticed it... It's not my body either since those guys didn't do anything to me yet and they did...all those things... Wait! Their acquaintances back then, could it have been?! Never mind that. They are men... Still, why did people as wealthy as those guys took interest in me? But more importantly, just who are they?!"
