The next day.
LionArk Guild Headquarters.
Ethan stood in his room, already dressed in his LionArk uniform and cloak. Today he was scheduled to go to Porco City to begin acting as a mediator in the conflict.
He needed to do it to show that LionArk was there to help their neighboring city, even though Ethan knew Hans' small team had already left the night before to carry out their shadow mission.
KNOCK!
"Sir Ethan," Sherly greeted.
Ethan answered. He stepped toward the door of his room and opened it slowly. Sherly stood clearly in front of the doorway, waiting for Ethan to be ready to leave.
When Sherly saw Ethan, she felt certain he really was ready to depart. He was already wearing the LionArk uniform and cloak, exactly as she had imagined.
"How are the preparations for the place and everything else?" Ethan asked.
"Some people have already gone south. They've prepared it. I'm still communicating with them," Sherly replied.
