>>6094994But the best part is that they ended, now you’re free to get the briefing underway. Your team congregated at the main gate: You, Scarlet, Vera, Liu, Suan De, and the Buffalo. The people were amazed to see your furry friend once again, and plenty of people took pictures with him! He’s a superstar! This took a lot out of your time budget, but it gave you a moment to talk to Ichie and direct her back to your apartment, since you (as a group) haven’t decided whether to bring her along or not. She took it as a mission to clean up your home! You never said that, but you welcome the initiative. She’ll be ready whenever you need her, one call away.
Sadly, the crowd had to say goodbye to their new hero as you all went to your base of operations.
“Okay, everyone, the entire crew is here!” Secretary Bubbles welcomes every member of this initiative. “Let’s go through the list. First, Agent Headphones?”
“Present!” Liu raises her hand and wonders why she’s first on the list.
“Agent Phil Noon?” Scarlet reads the next name.
“Here.” You’re still on the stupid Hand Truck.
“Agent Cheese-on-Wheels?” Scarlet reads next.
“You did all of this just to say that, right?” Vera complains. Scarlet ticks the name anyway.
“Agent Slob Dragon?” Scarlet goes for the assassin.
“…” Suan De won’t participate in this charade. Her name gets a tick on the board too.
“Agent Scarlet, present, of course.” Scarlet smiles.
“Ehem.” You cough loudly. You can’t use your real name as a codename.
“Say your name right, Agent Bubble Butt.” Vera frowns.
“It’s Agent Bubbles!!!” Scarlet gets pissed, then she realizes she’s stupid. “I mean, UGH! Forget it! Next is… Uhm…”
“Remember, the Buffalo is staying until Fiora comes to pick him up.” You remind everyone. Everyone in the room nods.
“Moo!” Even the Buffalo is surprised he was allowed into the office, he’s happy to be here.
“…and, at last, Agent Markgician?” Scarlet reads it out loud.
“It’s actually Agent *the* Markgician.” The Markgician corrects.
“My bad!” Scarlet corrects the list.
…
When did he get here? How did he get here? Who invited him? Why is he on the list already?
What?!
