Chapter 101: The Meeting

Meanwhile, back in the megacity, Yuuto and Lady Aiko walked side by side through a long, dimly lit passageway.

The sound of their footsteps echoed softly off the walls, the only noise in the otherwise silent space.

Lady Aiko's hair swayed gently as she moved, the faint rustle of the fabric against her guild uniform adding a soft counterpoint to the steady thud of Yuuto's boots.

Yuuto walked calmly, his eyes focused straight ahead. Lady Aiko, graceful as ever, matched his pace. With the calm look on her face, one wouldn't know a sea of questions raged in her mind.

As they continued down the seemingly endless hallway, Lady Aiko finally broke the silence. Her voice was soft but carried a touch of curiosity.

"Master Yuuto, do you have any idea why the Union Branch Director has called us for this meeting? It seems rather sudden."
