Darmine watched as the two siblings kneeled, their faces either pale white of light-blue.

She gently shook her head and looked at Juny, who stood before the two siblings.

Darmine didn't need much more to understand the situation.

'She found out... Probably through Degster.'

The cat heaved a sigh before gently licking her paw.

Juny 's face was red.

It was unknown if it was because of anger or embarrassment.

"You can't just go around recruiting people left and right! And absolutely not without my permission."

The two siblings wore defeated expressions.

"Yes Ma'am."

Juny gritted her teeth.

"And don't call me that!"

Dager jumped but kept his head to the ground.

Heaving a sigh, Juny massaged her temples.

"Fine, get up."

Ellone and Dager didn't give her time to take it back as they jumped up to their feet.

"I have things I need to tell you, call for Airina, she should hear it."

Ellone nodded and took the Spell Scrolls Juny offered.

After gently ripping it, she disappeared.

Juny's gaze then moved to Mariel.

Since a while ago, she's been looking at a faraway wall and not daring to make eye contact.

"Dager."

Dager followed her gaze and stiffened.

"Did you do what I think you did?"

Juny watched while Dager took a step away from her and Mariel looked at her with a strange smile.

"I'm the Instructor."

Juny slapped her forehead.

She then gave Dager a serious stare.

"She's been here for a little more than a day. How is she already part of the organization?"

Dager looked away from her, suddenly gaining great interest in the white wall.

"I... am good at recruiting?"

Juny wore an exasperated look, when her Space Awareness suddenly activated.

Juny looked forward to where the two figures appeared.

Airina looked around slowly before finding a place to sit in.

Ellone didn't follow her and instead moved behind Juny.

Feeling glad that everyone was present, Juny explained her findings.

She talked about the organization backing Count Hebrald and the danger in the attic.

Juny also mentioned the number of Beyonders underground.

The place was silent for a few seconds.

While everyone was in thought, Juny continued.

"If we are to attack, I'd do it while the number of enemies remains unchanged."

After seeing them once again paying attention to her words Juny continued.

"Airina and her mother will be in charge of killing Count Hebrald. If anything unexpected is to happen, I will intervene."
