Confusion

"They're finally here..." Gale murmured as she caught sight of the imposing merchant airship making its approach toward the town they were staying at.

Although it was already 5 in the afternoon, it was still not too late to enact their plans.

Without delay, she rallied her team, preparing to rendezvous with the incoming Airship.

"Wait… Do not reveal yourselves just yet, or you might startle them. We need them to disembark first. We can't let them escape as we need their assistance to escort us to that enigmatic castle." Gale cautioned before vanishing from view.

Meanwhile, Denise opted to remain inconspicuous in the town square, confident in her unassuming guise.

Aside from wearing an attire befitting the townsfolk, she also concealed Lotus to ensure that not any Arcanist could sense her presence.

As the merchant airship descended in proximity to their town, Denise followed the crowd.
