While Altera was heading to war, Team B was also on their way back home, with a lot of guests. These people were visitors from Ferrol who had grown so attached to their products that they pushed to come with them to visit.
In consideration of their guests, the team had taken a rest in Bright Village for a while.
They noticed some differences, but they were too looking forward to going back home that they didn't stay for long.
However, the differences were so stark it was impossible for them to miss even if they didn't bother to investigate at all.
For one: The new leader was Gingo—someone they recognized as Micheal's right-hand man—and his woman, Sandra, who didn't lack the 'subtle' reminders of who was the highest ranking female there.
For instance, when greeting them, Sandra would introduce herself as the Lady of Bright Territory.
She would also have plenty of followers, and even more admirers.
Logically speaking, Jake isn't even in love with Yiyi yet so it's not surprising he hadn't picked her up as early as he learned of Altera. But, yeah. Poor bloke.
