Lilli looked at her uncle in shock and confusion after hearing what her uncle's acquaintance had requested of her, a port mafia executive, to do ‘this person wants me to do what now?’ she thought as she stared at her uncle “I know, I wasn't given any proper details. But one thing to add is that you'll be able to do any mission handed to you” her uncle piped up after the silence between the two of them “Mori. Your friend is joking, right?” she asked holding back a chuckle “*sigh* The guy is an odd one, but he was serious about this request lilli. You were requested for so you need to go and get it done” mori answered her sighing as he placed the work down then looking at her after placing his chin on his folded hands “he didn't say how long it will take so it would be best for you to bring a good amount of clothes with you while you're there. We won't know what will happen to you if you leave something so bring your gun with you in case” he suggested to her.

Lilli wanted to say something about the situation but didn't press further ‘I'll probably get some answers from where I'll be going for a while’ she thought before speaking “I'll be sure to do so, uncle” she bowed before leaving the room and entering the elevator going down to her office, after arriving at her office and finishing some work from the previous day when her door was slammed open “what the hell did you just agree to?!” a familiar voice shouted “chuuya don't” she spoke dismissing the ginger who slammed his hands on her desk “you're going to some random house in the middle of nowhere and living in a house full of dudes you don't know! And you expect me to not be concerned?!” he shouted again leaning forwards almost getting in her face “that's not what i said” she mumbled bringing her hand to her face rubbing between her eyes.

Lilli sighed as the ginger stared at her wanting an explanation too what he heard “first of all; you shouldn't eavesdrop on the conversations between me and the boss, second of all; i was requested for this, you know that if someone was requested from a task or mission the we can't exactly decline it” she spoke looking at him as he folded his arms across his chest, she knew her words were being heard but chuuya decided not to respond to her either ‘i’m not getting anywhere with these guys today’ she thought piping up again “i don't even know when I'm suppose to leave, could be tomorrow, a few days, maybe next week. The boss didn't say” lilli waited for chuuya to respond to her words which he did by singing and sitting down in the chair in front of her desk “did the boss give any detail to how long that girl was at that place for?” he asked her which she shrugged “nope, nothing. He probably wants me to find the information myself” she answered, adding the suggestion at the end.

Chuuya knew that mori would most likely tell lilli to find the rest of the information herself, it was something that he witnessed before in the past when she was young “or the boss will give you clues and make you find the rest, that's how he did it before” he piped up while lilli nodded her head “just thinking about it makes me need a smoke” she groaned getting up from her chair “wanna join?” she asked as she passed the chair he was in “i'm gonna need it after what i heard” he answered with a low chuckle as the two headed to the corner of the corridor to have a smoke before they were caught by someone, lilli returned to her apartment empty handed after looking through different filing cabinets with some hope of finding information on who she would be with or her her uncle's friend was.
