Before Felicia could respond, be quickly shifted his tone, slipping back into his usual regeish persona. With a drawl, he added, “No big deal I just wanted to hear your voice and have a little cut You know , build some rapport”
Felicia couldn’t help but chuckle dryly. “Rapport? Do we even have anything to build on? Mr. Glovers, if you’re so free, maybe find something better to do.”

“Damn it! They really dare to pull this of!!” The robed Egure’s voice was seething with fury. The bronze bell i his hand swung so violently that they left afterimages in the air. The so from the bell stated the venomous creatures within, waking them from their dormant state,
