บท 94: To the Brink of Extinction

Toz and the cats safely got back to Sleepless Brights, where the light dimmed slightly, and they could remove their goggles. Since it was constantly brighter than a day with clear skies in the area covered by the Lightning Clouds, the group had lost track of time, and it was pretty late when they arrived at the guild building. The cats took the opportunity to snag some rest while Toz went inside to deal with their haul.

Thankfully the guild was still open. With exploring being a lifestyle more than a job, the Explorers' Guild worked in a way that suited that lifestyle, and the opening hours of most branches stretched late into the evening after beginning early in the morning.

And it wasn't for no reason since Toz wasn't the only explorer returning late at night with things to sell. Although Toz wasn't the only one, it wasn't like the guild was packed, and he quickly got to the front of the line, where he coincidentally encountered Rick.
