It took me five minutes to reach an old and rusty building, where nobody knows of it and just decided to abandon it here.

Stepping a foot inside, I silently walked down the hallways before going upstairs where the meeting room is located.

Reaching into the doorknob, I twisted it open and there revealed a long wooden table and chairs. Three each on different sides while one chair is in between.

Only I, the replica of Servamp of Sloth, is late as they are now all seated in their respective seats, leaving only an empty chair in between.

"Would you look at that? You managed to arrive earlier than you usually do, nee-san!" Greed commented sarcastically, as if to mock me for arriving late on time.

"Pardon my tardiness." I stated, not bothering to start a useless argument with him as I took my seat. "Shall we start the meeting?"

Everyone nodded their heads. With the replica of Servamp of Lust, Envy and Greed on my left side, the replica of Servamp of Wrath, Gluttony and Pride is on my right side.

"This meeting is all about the 8th Servamp." Pride started as he put down a brown envelope into the wooden table.

Lawless reached for it and opened it, observing it before scattering the pictures around the table. The pictures were all probably taken by Pride's subclasses, and they managed to picture Tsubaki and his subclasses professionally.

"So that's the Servamp."

"It is explained that the Servamps do not know him, nor do they remember his existence as their youngest brother and more so, the 8th Servamp of Melancholy." Pride explained as he gave Lust a glance. "Have you gathered other informations about Tsubaki in your own journey?"

The latter smiled. "Yes, I did. The Servamp of Lust and his eve came to be knowledgable about Tsubaki. He recently just appeared and attacked the Sloth pair, Greed pair, and even caused damage to the Servamp of Pride."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. And recently, something unusual happened."

No matter how boring it is to listen in their conversation, something piqued my interest.

"It was already implied that even the Servamp of Greed had lost his powers due to his contract item being broken, but the snow and change of weather that we have seen from our premonition has not yet happened."

Ah, so that's what happened. But for someone who almost died, Lawless looked awfully energetic while getting kicked around by his violent eve.

"Which means the jjin inside him has not been fully released to force the change of season, or something is wrong with the weather itself."

"And the Servamp of Lust should have been the first target, but things changed." I added, slightly yawning. "He might be the next one now, but it could be postponed for a moment."

My statement earned confused yet curious glances from my siblings. I sighed. "Tsubaki's subclass should attack by now if we consider the change, but I guess things are still inevitably changing."

"A change in a change?"

"Yeah."

Everyone went silent, before Gluttony growled. "Geez, what is even there to worry about Tsubaki? I'm hungry!" He whined, rubbing his belly.
