As they bickered and chatted about trivial topics, the man arrived at the table, holding two large metal trays.

The one he held with his right hand was kept in front of Yoru, having a large margarita pizza, a black-colored fizzy soda, and four pieces of garlic bread cut in rectangular shapes. 

The second tray, the one with two large burgers, and a black-colored fizzy drink, were kept in front of Ryo. 

After this, the man went and returned with another tray at hand, this time the tray had standard sized penne pasta and a non-alcoholic pale green mojito. 

The smell of so many different foods was overwhelming for the three as their mouths involuntarily watered up. 

They glanced at each other, the trays in front, and came to a mutual agreement to share the food. 

Because of this, Ryo ended up eating one full burger, two slices of pizza, one piece of garlic bread and three medium bites of pasta, followed by his soda. 

Yoru had eaten 3 slices of pizza, taken five large bites from Haori's pasta, two pieces of garlic bread, and eaten half a burger, followed by his fizzy drink.

Haori consumed the remaining pasta along with 1 slice of pizza, one piece of garlic bread and half a burger, followed by her pale green mojito.

After finishing their food, the matter of "Who will be paying the bill?" came. 

All parties insisted upon paying and covering the costs of the meal. Although, Haori and Yoru were the only ones mainly quarreling. 

After a few minutes, Ryo had gotten tired of it and secretly sneaked up to the man and paid for everyone's meal. The total price of the meal had 158 Aleds and 4 Enz. 

"I see even the members of Squad Eight are quite childish." The waiter-- the man commented. 

In response, Ryo could only smile awkwardly. 

"Oh but please don't tell them I said this... Who knows what could happen to me."

"Let's keep this a secret between us. Maybe I'll even let you eat for free sometimes." The man laughed charmingly. 

"Sure." Ryo said with a forceful laugh and went back to inform the two about the payment.

"Why'd you pay, you're only a new member!" Haori "scolded." 

"Aww, I wanted to give you a treat as something of a welcoming party..." Yoru said, his expression drooping. 

Hearing and seeing the behavior of the two, Ryo couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

'What's so special about me paying for a meal or anyone between the three of us paying the meal... Maybe we should just split the bill into three equal parts from now on...' He lampooned as he thought of a way to calm the two. 

An idea came to his mind at that very moment!

Since he was new to Sector 6, he decided to ask the two to give him a tour of the Sector!

Before asking them, he looked at the time on his phone. [14:34 PM] 

They would have the entire afternoon and evening to make him see various places or maybe even the entirety of Sector 6!

Not only would this allow him to gain more likeliness with the two and allow their minds to steer off into another direction; leaving behind the situation at hand. It would also get a better idea about Sector 6 and have him become more familiar!

Nodding to his idea, he asked the two awkwardly, "Uhm, in compensation... Can you both help me get familiar with this Sector..."

"And... if possible, maybe today and right now?" 

Yoru and Haori glanced at each other and checked their phones, ignoring Ryo. They scrolled and typed something out and finally replied in unison, "Sure!"

Following this, the three got into the sedan. This time, Yoru sat on the driver's seat, Ryo sat beside him, and Haori sat at the backseat, in her original position. 

Vroom! Vroom! Yoru revved the car a few times before storming off to an location not know to either Ryo or even Haori.

Meanwhile in Investigations Room, Squad 8 Headquarters.

Whoosh.

"Hello, Xianye. How is the case of missing-items going for you, if I may ask." Raphael asked as he entered the room, being met by Xianye, his oval face facing the wide-screen. 

Xianye heaved a sigh. "No idea." 

"And, you are most-likely correct. It feels organized, who or whatever is behind these case is most-likely because of a new criminal organization."

"I came back just now and received a few more missing-items cases. And, guess what..."

"I asked the person behind to carefully check if there was anything like a symbol, a six inside a medium periwinkle violet. Well, I told them only violet, but that's beside the point."

"From the three new cases I just got, there is one more. Exactly like the first one. A cufflink exactly with the same symbol!" 

"That's enough to prove our, your theory!" Xianye exclaimed as he got up began walking out. 

"I'll take shower and go off to investigate that special missing-items case. In the meantime, you go and check up on the remaining two standard missing-items case." He asked, turning around inches before the sensor which allowed the door to automatically open.

"Unfortunately, I do not think I can." Xianye smiled indiscernibly. "The murder-case which you handed to Yoru is now in my hands. And, I do not believe that the two, or rather three others are available for taking up a mission right now either." 

"Yoru and Haori are showing Ryo around Sector Six. They messaged me just a moment ago." He explained reasonably. 

Hearing this, Xianye groaned tiredly and out of frustration. 

"Fine, I'll take care of these three cases myself." He said storming off to his room.

Whoosh.

Raphael made his way towards the wide screen and sat down on the chair in front. 

It felt warm beneath, most-likely because of Xianye who had been sitting on it for almost an entire day.

Whoosh!! The sedan came to a heavy stop. 

Ryo gasped for breath and muttered to himself, 'Who drives that fast?!' 

'I'm definitely not letting Yoru ever drive me...' Ryo lampooned and made an internal note.

The three exited the car as it stopped hovering Ryo stuffed his UII back into his pocket and looked at the magnificent sight ahead.

A 71 meters tall statue resting on top of a pyramid with a flat arch. The statue was that of a man, crafted in copper. 

The copper gleamed and bathed in the afternoon sun. A calming humid breeze swirled around the area.

The man's muscles were carefully sculpted, his inverted-triangular face exuded a sense of sheer strength. 

The man held leaned and held a large club, almost as tall and mighty as him. 

He was draped in what looked to be cloth.

"This is a structure from the First's Frame. The very early days of the First Frame." Yoru said, his gaze fixed at the majestic statue. 

"This man was called Hercules."
