Elena looked at him for another moment before her expression softened.
"So…"
She leaned forward again.
"Did you bring anything interesting this time?"
Arthur noticed the slight curiosity in her tone.
She knew he had gone on a joint mission with a silver squad. Normally that meant most of the loot would be divided among the team.
So she probably wasn't expecting anything too special.
Still, the way she asked showed she hoped for a surprise.
Arthur's smile widened a little.
That was enough to catch her attention.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"…what did you find?"
Arthur reached into his storage device.
"Well… something like a coincidence."
He pulled out a small dark core and placed it gently on the counter.
Elena froze.
Then she leaned forward quickly and grabbed it.
Her eyes widened.
"…you're kidding."
She turned the core slowly in her fingers.
It looked almost identical to the one from before.
Elena looked up at him.
"Are you some kind of treasure hunter?"
