[A Century-Old Brand] (Curio)

On the 9th, Rita realized it had been ten days since she stole those books from Moonfox City. She wanted to return to Lania Kaia—not just for Apache's lessons, which were a minor reason—but to gather information about the Moonfox Clan's situation and, more importantly, to relocate her teleportation array to a place only she knew about for her peace of mind.

Before doing that, she decided to ask Shadow.Q about the current situation in Lania Kaia.

[Rita]: Have the people captured in Lania Kaia been rescued?

[Shadow.Q]: If you're planning to go to Lania Kaia soon, you could wait a couple of days and join our Special Affairs Bureau group from LA.

[Rita]: Oh? Another raid? Is this a nationwide operation or just your LA branch?

[Shadow.Q]: It's just the LA branch. Each branch manages its own affairs.

[Shadow.Q]: We've established a new base underwater in Lania Kaia, near a seabed volcano.
