The Author's POV

[Caïssa - Headquarters]

"Here are all the files of the people you requested for me to find"

"Alright, thanks"

Without glancing at Smallsnake on my left, I took the files from his hand and threw them on the desk I was currently working on.

A week had passed since I learned about Ren's past, and nothing changed.

The renovations for the warehouse were pretty much done. With my limited budget, I could only redecorate the place to make it look more presentable, but there really wasn't any high-tech equipment nor training rooms here yet.

I was too poor for that.

"...What are you doing?"

Seeing me discard the files he had just given me, rolling his eyes, Smallsnake couldn't help but ask

"I'm making preparations"

"Preparations for?"

"Well, let's just say that in four months I'll be going on a long trip with a couple of people..."

Frowning, Smallsnake couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion

"...if it's in four months why do you need to start making preparations now?"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you"

I will be going to find a cure for a curse that has been universally acknowledged as something that didn't have a cure.

...was what I wanted to say, but he wouldn't believe me even if I told him so.

Moreover, I also didn't tell him that I was not going to be on earth throughout that whole trip.

So may as well just dodge the question.
