Chapter 35 - Ch-35: Disappearance

Arthur opened the door to see a woman about the same age as him with soft facial features and brown hair tied in a bun, in a brown frock dress as she walked in from he rain outside she complained "do you know how cold it is outside? seriously you guys need to treat people better"

"well... a bell would ruin the purpose of this area if anyone could come and go as they pleased into a space meant for employees, come in I'm guessing your the woman that captain was talking about"

she seemed distressed as she said "i-is your captain around?... I need to file the complaint as soon as possible"

Arthur blinked and his expression turned serious "complaint?" He was sure that any case that the captain had taken would be normal, this woman must have met with a Beyonder event or something related to one!

The woman said in an anxious tone "yes! about my family's disappearance!"

Leah looked at Kevin "I don't know if it as something to do with you... but i have my suspicions"

Kevin snorted "just because I figured out your plan does not mean that I'm behind everything"

Leah smiled and spoke "don't worry, since that higher up has judged that your temporarily on our side, I won't pry into your secrets"

Kevin frowned as he asked "who is this 'higher up' anyway?"

Leah shook her head "your not qualified to know yet... however due to their confirmation, we've decided to give you and your friends official Beyonder status"

Kevin's eyelids twitched as he muttered "not qualified huh" and then he spoke up

"well anyway, what does becoming an official Beyonder mean exactly, aside from a salary increase of course?"

Leah smiled "aren't you a noble, do you really look forward to a salary increase? well anyway you will be given a position in the Chester County Police Seventh Regiment, and you will be granted the permission to hold small firearms, you will not be allowed to leave your jurisdiction without prior permission from the Church"

Kevin asked "so how do you expect to keep three nobles in a small town exactly?"

Leah laughed "The Church of The Fool Beyonders don't actually have a jurisdiction, members can move between places with a Church at will, although it would be nice if you informed us before leaving otherwise we might end up knocking at your vacation home with a search party"

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief he had actually been concerned about this matter.
