(Azazel's POV)

December 21st, 2022 ME

It has been ten days since we successfully drove the Darklings out of Inkadia, a significant victory that came at a high cost. The Inkadian government invested a considerable amount of yen in rebuilding the damaged infrastructure during the conflict. Thankfully, they were not alone in this effort; their allies rallied to support them, with the Octarian Empire stepping in to offer assistance, hoping to mend relations strained by the Great Turf War.

Walking through the familiar halls of the Squidbeak Tower, I felt hungry after a long day of intense training. My feet carried me to the fridge, where I anticipated finding something delicious. However, when I swung the door open, I was greeted by an unexpected sight: Callie was perched inside, happily munching on a sandwich. 

Azazel: Ahh! Holy bologna!

Callie: I'm sorry, Azazel. I ate the last of the deli meat in the fridge. Cheese?

Azazel: Dammit, Callie. I was looking forward to making myself a turkey sandwich.

A lighthearted giggle escaped Callie's lips. I couldn't help but shake my head as I placed my hand on my forehead, sighing in exasperation.

Azazel: This is the fifth time you've eaten all the deli meat. No wonder why people on the internet think you're a glutton.

Callie: Hey! *She said while pouting her face*

I reached for a packet of turkey bacon and am now frying some on the stove to make a sandwich.

Azazel: So, what have Marie and Marina been up to?

Callie: Well, they're off at Inkopolis Bay to acquire cutting-edge technology from Aequorion. Hopefully that goes well.

Azazel: And what about Kiara?

Callie: Oh, she went to see DJ Octavio. He's probably still in his castle.

The POV shifts to Kiara sitting in the imperial throne room talking to DJ Octavio. What's more, Cuttlefish was there.

Kiara: So, how do you know my grandfather, Craig?

Cuttlefish: Well, it all started about 100 years ago...

DJ Octavio: SHUT UP, CRAIG!

Cuttlefish: I was an aspiring songwriter traveling along the coast...

DJ Octavio: SHUT UP!

Cuttlefish: When I found myself at Mt. Nantai...

DJ Octavio: S T O P!

The POV shifts back to Squidbeak Tower.

Azazel: I see. And I take it the mercs are out on a job. Anyway, I'm off to do some Turf Wars. See ya.

I grabbed my sandwich and walked towards the elevator to leave. Callie watched from the kitchen, scratching her chin.

Callie: I wonder what he does...
