At the same time, all of their attention shifted on the cave's entrance when they suddenly saw two people come out. With both of their eyes wide open as they didn't expect five people visiting them, Rai specifically had his eyes set on Darenn, his mouth agape as he tried his best to speak.
"D-Darenn… y-you…"
"Yes," Darenn said with a grin, already walking towards him with the other four people walking behind him. "I'm home."
With evident disbelief in the red-haired man's face, he immediately rushed to Darenn, giving him a big embrace as Darenn returned it as well, slapping his back at the same time as he let out a chuckle.
"Darenn, you! It's been so long since I last saw you! It was many years ago before you were summoned! Now, you're back?"
"Yes," Darenn nodded, now the two, breaking away from their embrace. "I am serving a new Summoner. I'm sorry for not coming home immediately, I was too heartbroken with the death of my previous one. My previous Summoner was my lover."
