Yasaka and Natsu arrived back to the hideout in Tokyo as everyone was eagerly waiting on them. After explaining to them what happened during the meet, most of them were relieved that no fighting had taken place but for some they were eager to fight. Unfortunately Yasaka had to go back to her home in Kyoto to watch over her people, even though there's tranquility now that Natsu wants to take over the Underworld some devils might try to fight back to not allow that to happen. Yasaka teleports back home letting Natsu know they'll be in contact in case of an emergency. While Natsu was out a letter arrived specifically to him. Karameel who earlier in the day found the letter just laying on the ground was the one who picked it up and saw that it was directed towards Natsu.

Karameel: Here. This was laying outside. It's directed towards you.

She hands over the note as Natsu looked at the envelope before opening it. When he opened it he saw the letter and quickly scanned through it.

Brandish: Who sends letters now a days? Isn't everything done by a phone call?

DiMaria: Some people are traditionalist, can't blame them.

Griselda is eager to know who it is, she thinks it could be her younger sister Xenovia who sent the letter.

Griselda: Is it Xenovia?

Natsu looks at her then continues to read the letter. When he finishes, the others stare at him waiting for him to tell them what the letter is about.

Natsu: Someone is inviting us to Northern Japan.

Mira: what? Who?

Natsu: the letter doesn't say. It simply says "you're invited to Northern Japan for a retreat."

Griselda: A vacation? Who would send that? Especially now how things are with both sides.

Brandish: I don't like the smells of this. It could be a trap.

Natsu places the letter down on the table then looks at his clan.

Natsu: Wendy, Mira, DiMaria. We're going to check this out.

DiMaria: Right now?

Natsu: Yes. We'll scout ahead to see if this is really a trap or not.

Brandish: Yes! I can catch up on my sleep!

DiMaria: Master seriously! Why does she get to stay!

Mira: Come on you, let's go!

She puts her arm around DiMaria and drags her along. The four them huddle together, Griselda uses her magic to teleport them away. Brandish, Karameel, and Griselda look at each other.

Griselda: Should we warn Lady Irene?

Brandish: No. She's busy right now. I have others we can contact in case. Karameel?

Karameel: On it!

Upon arriving Natsu, Mira, Wendy and DiMaria teleport to a secluded area where no one could have seen them.

Wendy: It smells awful here!

DiMaria: No kidding couldn't Griselda teleport us else where, were it doesn't smell like crap!

Mira: she's doing her best while Irene is out you guys. We can't blame her.

Natsu: Come on lets get out of here, I feel like I'm going to barf out last nights dinner.

As the four of them leave the alley, someone on top of a building was spying on them.

???: Target located.
