After hugging each other for a good amount of time, finally all the ladies separated with happy smiles on their faces. Elena then snapped her fingers and immediately the mist filled mysterious area disappeared and all of them appeared inside an inn room.

Elena had already booked an inn for the ladies and it was a luxurious inn which cost two hundred thousand R for a single night. But the rooms were extremely good and comfy so Elena found the price to actually be reasonable.

In that luxurious inn room, all five of the ladies sat down for some elegant tea time. Even though they had stayed in contact with each other through the item that Elena had given them, face to face meeting was a completely different feeling and everyone had a lot to say to each other.

Even though they had already told Elena about their adventures, they again described them to her. Elena also told them a few stories about her own adventures during that time. It looked like all of them had gone through a lot and had grown up significantly with all those experiences.

After they were done discussing the past, Elena asked Alessia about their current mission. She had heard a little bit about it but as Elena wanted to learn about it directly from their mouth, she had not asked about any details.

Hearing Elena's question, Shia started to explain the nook and cranny of the mission to her. She was the one who had negotiated with the mission giver and had also done some research about it. So she had the most knowledge about it.

From Shia's thorough description, Elena came to understand that this mission was actually quite troublesome. They needed to find an item that fell into the hands of the demons hundreds of years ago when a group of demons attacked the human continent. The item belonged to a human noble family who lost the battle to the sudden attack of a huge number of demons.

When the human's counterattacked the demons, this family also joined forces with other human superpowers and came to demon continent. But even after an extensive search, they failed to find that item. If that was simply a valuable item, they could just give up on it and could try to find an item of similar quality. But that item was actually a family heirloom that was related to the luck of their family line.

For that reason even after hundreds of years and change of generations, that family continued searching for the item by any possibile means. Only recently finally they had managed to find a lead and had sent Alessia's Azure Legion party here to check it out.

Actually the lord of the family who was also the quest giver was extremely busy with a high level meeting for the time being. That was the reason why he was unable to directly came to the Demon Continent to retrieve the item.

So he had sent Alessia's party here to take that item under their care or to at least keep an eye on it. The noble family was also planning to come to the Demon Continent as soon as they could with their full forces.

So Alessia and her team just needed to get the item and then they could hand it over to the noble when he came here. Or just keeping an eye on the item and to know about its location could also be consider to be succesful completion of their mission. In that case, the noble would learn about the location from the Azure Legion and would retrieve the item with his own force.

But in that case, obviously the Azure Legion would be paid significantly less. So Alessia and others were planning to take the item by their own.

After understanding the whole situation, Elena asked them if they had a plan. In reply, Shia told her that first they were planning to narrow down the location of the item. And then they were planning to investigate their enemies while coming up with a plan.

Elena was fine with this approach as it was a good one. Without having a proper understanding of who they were against, coming up with a good plan was almost impossible. So Elena was satisfied that they were taking a methodical approach to the case.

Then Elena asked them about their plans going forward. This time Alessia answered her. According to her, they would try to gather some information in this city and then they were planning to leave this city on the day after tomorrow.

After leaving the city, they would be going to the city where the item was last seen according to the information. Then they would start their investigation there. Elena was fine with the whole plan and decided to join them. But she was not planning to interfere with the mission at all and was just going to be joining the girls as a friend.

The Azure Legion was happy with this suggestion as they also wanted to show off to Elena and to let her see how much they had grown. So their motivation level for this job was off the charts. They were going to give more than their all to this mission and was determined to see it through.

...

After all the ladies were done with their little tea talk, they decided to go out of the inn to start their investigation. They were not expecting to find any information about the item in question here but instead they were expecting some general information about the demon continent here.

Elena had already told them quite a bit about the demon continent but still they decided to ask around to see if they could find anything new and more. As asking information about the demon continent was a very common thing for anyone who came to this port city from a different continent, there were many places in this city who specialised in selling those kind of things.

So Nina decided to buy some information from three such locations. She had always been in charge of information gathering for her party so she took the lead here too. The bought information was more reliable than information gathered by words of mouth. But the word of mouth informations were also extremely helpful in determining the truth of the bought information.

Just like this, they spend that whole day gathering various pieces of information. They did managed to find many rumours and miscellaneous information but nothing was too helpful for the Azure Legion. It turned out that the information that Elena had given them was most helpful.

But among so many useless information, one thing did caught their eye. It was information about a certain gang of demons who had started to become hyper active after lying low for almost a century. This gang was one of the crazy groups who had attacked the other continents hundreds of years ago. And after their massive loss, they were forced to fade into insecurity.

As for the reason why this group was interesting to Alessia and her team, that was because, according to the information collected by the human noble, the group of demon who were last seen with the item in question were the same gang as mentioned in the information, the "Cross of Ferocity".

So what was this gang up to after years of inactivity ?
