The cold wind howled as it moved through the city, tugging at Nova's coat as she stood before Asher.
It was almost nightfall, so the society was bathed in pink and orange, while the glow of streetlights and neon signs began to shine brightly.
But her eyes remained fixed on him as she waited for his response. He only tucked his hands into his pockets and said something.
"I'm surprised you heard about Zero," he uttered with a frown, studying her, wondering how she had gotten such information if she had been in a dungeon that had already disappeared from its spot.
She simply nodded. "I have a phone. And when I went to HQ to hand in my reports, Miss Yumiko asked me to head here first because the Guild Masters were having a meeting."
"They're seriously talking about her. And an execution within this week… that doesn't seem like a lot of time."
Asher exhaled slowly. "No. It's not." Just thinking about the entire mission made it seem even harder than it already was.
