Monks

The figure that showed up from behind the shadows was none other than their dear friend from the far eastern world.

"Chumo!" 

Seeing him after several weeks' worth of journey with only four of them made everyone very happy. 

"Great to see you… What are you doing here?"

Chumo looked around and shook his head, a message for them to not make a scene in the middle of this still crowded city. Everyone nodded in agreement and walked inside to talk back in the inn's tavern.

Klea reinforced her enchantment and ordered the man to provide them with some food and to treat them like normal guests without any relation to the current event.

After so long, finally the five members of the Earth Magus team had gathered together. This was the first time all five had gathered outside the bounds of the academy.

Perhaps, thanks to that, the ice between them from the remaining conflicts have melted and their smiles were much warmer than before.
