“Time skip! - Now 9pm at Shin Shin Kai!”

It was silent,but very intense.The atmosphere in the room was heavy,and all of them stared at eachother intensely,as if it was a staring competition.But,they hadn't gathered there for that.

All the team had gathered at Shin Shin Kai specifically at Doppo's office for a meet up,including you.Odly enough,sitting around the couch next to eachother,no one spoke and just stared to one another,all of your expressions unreadable but gave off a look of vulnerability.

The reason all of you had gathered there was obviously for the mission,but you were all in a difficult situation.No progress,no clues,no updates from Guevaru either, nothing,and that resulted all of you to be in a loss.

However,Yujiro who's expression was that grumpy usual one,sighed heavily catching everyone's attention,before adjusting his possision on the couch and removed his legs from the small table infront of him, lazily resting his hands on his knees.

"Looks like none of you collected any information that could help with the situation hmm?",he mocked and all of them looked down,while you were the only one who wasn't having his attitude and spoke up.

"Well go on smart ass!,we may have not found anything but have you? Because If you haven't,you shouldn't be judging us in the first place!",you snapped and he let a low chuckle that infuriated you even more.

Without saying anything,Yujiro took out a piece of paper from his pocket and tossed it to you,you caught it just in time and gave him a dirty look before opening it to see what was written on it.Watching your eyes scan the paper and your expression change,Yujiro's lips formed into a mocking smirk.

"I'm not going to explain my whole process of doing,all that research,but the point is that I came to the conclusion that the map we have is probably from Greece".

"Greece?!", everyone asked at once and he chuckled.

"Greece?,how did you come up with that?"

"Well,if you had looked more carefully,you would had noticed the Greek letters on the back of the map.See?",he showed you a picture he took of the back of the map,

"What the!-I would had seen that if I had taken a picture of the opposite side!,I just didn't think there would be anything there!",you said a little embarrassed from your mistake.

"This is your sign to be more careful and pay more attention.You're supposed to be the one who knows best about handling this stuff and still,I was the one who figured it out".

"Yeah,yeah,whatever.What did the letters translate too?,if you even managed to translate them",you snickered knowing he couldn't have.

"Ofcourse I did".

"Yeah but obviously with the internet!,while I, would had done it by myself ",you crossed your arms proudly.

"Okay!,okay!,we get it!You two need to stop competing each other for no reason,this is important!Old man,tell us what the letters translated to",Baki interrupted you two from arguing further and eventually you both gave up.

"Well it was a full word actually,and it was the word ὕδωρ,translating to water in ancient Greek language.I assumed that it wanted to tell us that the place we're seeking for is maybe underwater and not visible anymore,that's why we couldn't find it in any of today's maps,or even in any older one".
