6:04 p.m.
Temple of Priests Office Public Building, Luxen City.
Joshua was walking down a hallway on the first floor and Vivian was behind him.
Since it was already past 6:00 p.m., there weren't that many people anymore and more than half of the staff already left.
Joshua and Vivian reached an open door with a sign that read Treasure Room and then entered.
The room was quite spacious. There was a lounging or waiting area on the left corner, there were four desks in the middle arranged in a horizontal line -- each with two chairs in front of them -- and a small private office room at the right corner.
No one else was there but a man in his late 40s who was wearing a similar uniform of the non-Priest staff employees working in the building. He stopped sweeping the floor, turned to them and lowered his head.
"Honored Priest Joshua, Honored Priestess."
"Jaire, thank you for your hard work as always and please excuse us for interrupting your work, but is Brother Kian still around?"
"Honored Priest Kian and the rest have already left, Honored Priest."
"Please fetch us the keys of this room. I need to use this room for a moment."
Jaire lowered his head.
"As you wish, Honored Priest," he said and then left.

A few minutes later...
"...and that's what happened," Vivian said.
Joshua nodded after Vivian explained how she encountered the hostages and demon bandits.
"I see. I thank the God of Light that you were guided to be there."
Vivian nodded.
"I thank the God of Light too."
They were still inside the Treasure Room and sitting at the lounging or waiting area. Beside them was a coffee table with a Memory Crystal, a pen and papers on top of it.
Knock, knock.
They heard a knock on the door and they both turned to see who it was.
It was a man in his mid-30s who was also wearing a similar uniform to the non-Priest staff employees working in the building and he was carrying a piece of paper on his hand.
He lowered his head.
"Please excuse me, Honored Priest Joshua, Honored Priestess. I came here to deliver this initial report from Honored Priest Gerald to you."
"Thank you, Carlo," Joshua said.
Carlo walked over to Joshua and handed over the paper.
Joshua read the paper for a moment and then placed it on top of the coffee table.
"Tell Brother Gerald that I will be going home after I'm done here. That will be all."
Carlo lowered his head.
"Yes, Honored Priest Joshua. Have a great evening," he said, raised his head, turned to Vivian and lowered his head once again. "May you have a great evening as well, Honored Priestess."
