Information Gathering

Allen and Cecil had been abducted by a mysterious group of three. Several piles of cargo-like bundles in wooden crates were stacked in one corner of the room, so Allen guessed it was some kind of warehouse.

(First, I need to figure out where we are.)

Using a Bird G Summon, Allen tried to gather information from the bandits who had broken into the mansion. It looked like some warehouse in town, but he had no idea where. Whether he planned to subdue the bandits or escape, he needed to find out where they were first.

Through the eyes of the Bird G Summon he was sharing, he saw the man who'd been punched in the stomach by the one they called Big Brother Dugraha still clutching his abdomen.

"You okay, Marcus? Still hurting?"

"Yeah, I'm pissed as hell. I think he broke something. Why's someone like that the leader?"

The man called Marcus cursed as he held his side, where he'd been punched. As the bandits continued talking, Allen played possum and listened in.

"Can't be helped. It's the boss's orders."

"Whatever the plan against Xenof is, he's acting all high and mighty just because he came back from the battlefield. You know? That bastard Dugraha supposedly ran away from the battlefield after only a year. Why's he got such a big head?"

"H-hey, that's enough. I heard Ambra said that to his face and got his head cut off for it."...
