Bound Camp
Souta arrived at Bound Camp without any issues. He immediately reported to the higher-ups before heading to meet his group.
"You're back," Alice said, eyeing him.
"Yeah, it went quite well. I can do better now," Souta replied. He then glanced at Eztein and Vashno.
The group filled him in on what had happened during his seclusion—the details of their mission and other events.
As he listened, Souta raised an eyebrow when he heard that Alice had used her true form. He looked at her, silently asking for an explanation.
"It's fine. The barrier could block the perception of Gods," Alice replied.
Souta closed his eyes for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Titan settlements were often protected by similar measures, so he understood the reasoning.
"Alright, now that I'm here..." Souta turned to Eztein and said, "Eztein, go back and complete the task I assigned you. I'll take care of everything here."
"Go back?" Eztein looked slightly surprised.
