Silence ensued since the girl pronounced that she will fight Neptune for her memories. Victor considered this a dirty trick, but he rolled with it as it is for the best.

And after a few moments of exchanging blows with the opponent, they won as she fled, but were disappointed as she flew away without giving them their prize.

Neptune's memories.

they chased after her, but found a girl with twin tails and a black and white lolita dress. Her name was Noire and was covered with injuries.

After a while of talking to her and healing her injuries, which made IF suspicious about her, but joined the party reluctantly.

...........................

" Come on, there has to be some jobs Avenir can give." IF complained as she was browsing phone for any job offers.

"Calm down IF, just give it some time. It's about to come up eventually." Noire said to calm her down as it was evident that she was having a hard time.

The other three however are taking things in a leisurely pace as Compa and Neptune are playing a console game while the only male in the group was playing in a handheld.

She sighed at the sighed before she was startled by IF's screech of delight, which got the all of party's attention as the three girls looked at her in confusion, and the young man giving a comical deadpan expression.

"Avenir has a job for us." IF said enthusiasm.

"What is it Iffy?" Asked Compa.

"It seems to be a kill quest." She said with a smile as she returns the phone.

"And besides. We have an Op party member with us, so it's easy as pie." Said the purple haired amnesiac.

Victor breathed out a sigh from their three-way conversation.

"Just because I'm overpowered doesn't mean all of you can just rely on me." He paused the game he was playing, "Everyone has their limits, and just by fighting that girl to get memories tired me out just by using a ton of weapons."

"You were literally a walking weapon shelf back there." Neptune mused from the skirmish earlier.

"Come on guys, let's go."

They managed to reach the designated meeting area.

"Nice to meet you. We've been waiting. " a voice greeted them.

It was a young man with messy and unkempt brown hair, wearing a glasses, and a business suit that makes him just one of your average loan-shark business men.

"So, you're the folks  who will be handling our orders?" He asked.

"It depends." Victor muttered to himself.

"Yes, and you're our client... Ganache?" The guild agent asked him.

"Yes. My name is Ganache." He introduced himself, as another man walks up beside him. "And this here is our representative, President Singe."

"..."

"(So these two are Avenir's top officials...)" Noire muttered as she gazed upon them.

"(As if the reason they're talking to us, and the fact that they are imposing is pretty much obvious)" Victor whispered, which she nodded in agreement.

"It's rare to get work from your ranks." IF began "Or is it we're just that important.".

"Hahaha." He laughed dryly, " You're such a joker." he stated as he shook his head lightly, with a fake smile plastered on his face.
