, So this is what happened near the national border.

Set

... Ha, what a surprise. I didn't expect them to get the Teslovikers to find the Relic.

The ''Great Commander-In-Chief'' really has no idea of the situation.

He is so clever, but why can't she see that it is impossible for her to escape from Rasparta?

And she even sent that useless chief priest Anubis as the envoy...

Is Horus this short of people?

Alas, how pathetic. No matter how excellent the boss is, it's useless if you have an incompetent subordinate.

Oh well, let me teach the Commander-in-chief a lesson., So you will know how pointless those efforts are before Rasparta.

So, let's start with... these Teslovikers who are in our way.

... The only issue is that Lord Wadjet doesn't seem to care about this at all.

She even ordered us not to interfere. I wonder what plan she has got in mind.

I'd be in trouble if she finds out I've acted without her permission. Anyway, what should I do now...?

... Oh, right. Why don't I hire some mercenaries from the neutral forces? Then I won't be disobeying Lord Wadjet's order.

Besides... even if she thinks I disobeyed her order... The problem will be solved we get rid of the Teslovikers, right?

, These four people are the targets. Use any means you may. They should be exploring the ruins in Nebu next. I want you to get in their way.

Regina

To get in their way? No problem! Giving me free rein means I'll have the pleasure of picking the best means...!

Babs

Since we have accepted the job, we will do our best. It's fine to attack them directly, right?

Set

That's right. Just please don't make too much of a scene in the city.

It'd be best if we could get rid of them quietly. Of course, a bonus will be paid if you meet this requirement.

Regina

Really?! I'm motivated now! I'm willing to sacrifice anything for money!

Set

Good. How very reliable.

Regina

Of course! Money is the only thing that can never betray.

I just need to investigate what these four guys are up to. Then I can resell the intel to Babs at a high price to earn double... It's the dream!

Ahhhh! I'm so excited!

Babs

... Can you add a clause in the contract for this girl to assist me ''at no cost''?

Set

It does seem to be necessary.

Regina

Hey, ! You guys are mean, ! I suddenly feel like I've lost all my motivation. Boohoo.

Babs

Hey, that's because you're obsessed with money. It's not my fault.

Regina

I don't wanna work with Babs anymore! Ahhhhh! But I don't want to be in the front line every time...!

Oh, well. It's my loss this time.

Set

So you two are on the same page now? Then... Regina, Babs, I'll leave it to you.

Ahaha. How is Anubis going to react? I look forward to it...!
