After messaging Vera and Colin, Allen went on ahead to the Apprentice Trading Market.
In a secluded alley, he booked a private room on the second floor of a restaurant called Stone Fire Roasted Meat.
A preserved Demonized Wild Boar Skull Sample hung on the wall, and the tables and chairs were made of heavy black ironwood, giving the room a rugged feel.
Before long, Vera and Colin pushed the door open and walked in.
"Have a seat. The roasted meat here is good."
Allen pointed to the seats across from him. He had already ordered them food and drinks.
The food was quickly brought up by an Alchemy Servant. The sizzling roasted meat gave off a tantalizing aroma, but Vera and Colin were in no mood to pick up their forks.
They sat bolt upright, wondering what Allen had called them to discuss.
As Allen methodically cut his roasted meat, he said, "It's time to expand the mutual aid group's business."
