Location- A-rank Dual Gate Dungeon.

"Yes, after all this trade route will not only bring lots of taxes but will play an important role in the development of the two regions," Abel replied as he flew the chariot towards the city's food court asking, "By the way do you want to stop by for drinks?" 

"drinks?" Ada looked over the skyline of the dungeon city in depression wondering if she should go through with the mission even if all she could manage to achieve was the destruction of a few buildings. 

Or she could use her origin card's ability to turn all 250,000 works in the city into her swarm and sacrifice them to summon a few devils? The devils should have a way to destroy this city, right? Maybe just the presence of devil-rank beings in the dungeon alone should be able to destabilize the dungeon into collapsing. 

'This might work, should she start with the juicy hunk next to her? No, let's see where this date goes first. Ada, you naughty girl, what are you thinking?' Ada thought to herself and answered, "Aren't you slick? Turning a tour of the city into a date."

"Date? Your words, not mine," Abel answered with the corners of his mouth turned up. 

"Hahaha, you are a talker aren't you," Ada let out a smile and then said, "I will have whatever you are having." 

"Then beer it is," Abel said, landing the chariot in front of a bar.

"Inviting a girl for a beer this early in the morning, what are your intentions, mister?" Ada joked as she climbed down the chariot. 

"Don't tell me a few glasses of beer is enough to scare you," Abel said, retrieving the chariot. Then he entered the bar with Ada who said, "Yep, you are up to no good. But I knew you were trouble the moment I laid my eyes on you. So, do your worst." 

Sitting at a table, the couple ordered two beers and waited. As they waited, Ada decided to revive one of her bodies under the effect of Mobius Presence.

However, to Ada's surprise, she found that she could not access her grimoire to revive her other body. With this development, Ada panicked. Only to hear Abel say, "I forgot to mention before, the artificial sun illuminating the city is called the silent sun, an high level silent rule array formation. 

Because of its presence, only authorized personnel can use their grimoire in the dungeon city. You did not feel its effect after entering the dungeon city because the array masters have made it so considering the comfort of the inhabitants and visitors of the dungeon city. 

If you plan on starting your dungeon security test run you have to think of a way to bypass it first. Just so you know, As the acting city lord of the dungeon city I am decided who gets the authorization." I think you should take a look at

"..." Ada silently stared at Abel for a while before saying, "I am guessing there is no way you will give me the authorization." 

"That depends on how this date ends," Abel said as the barmaid delivered their order. 

"..." Ada stared at Abel thinking, 'Shameless bastard.' 

"Just so you know if we skip the drama of me flirting, you pretending to be a prude, and just get to the happy ending part sooner then you might get your authorization," Abel gave Ada a friendly hint. 

Listening to Abel's words it could not be more obvious what he was asking Ada to do for the authorization to use her grimoire in the dungeon city. Ada cussed Abel with every cuss word she could think of in her mind but she did not let it show on her face. As the mission was at stake here. 

"I found you charming but you had to ruin it by being your true self," Ada said, looking at Abel with disgust. 

"Believe me this is not my true self, I would never reveal my true self to a central government slut and devil worshiper no less. Besides, I am just trying to prove my point here. You bitches from the central government will sell your body if it helps your mission," Abel spoke his mind revealing his hatred for the Central government and the Devil worshippers. 

"What about you? Will you not sell your body for your Western Region and its people if needed, Prince Chase?" Ada was not offended by Abel's words, instead, she calmly used his words against him. Then she looked at this hated filled eyes and felt like looking in a mirror.

"I would never let the circumstances of my Western region and its people fall to such a point. Don't change the topic, you dogs of the central government do not serve the interest of people but your masters. How can you compare to me?" Abel answered and he hated the thought of being compared with dogs of the central government. 

"Yes, I serve the interest of my master and you serve the interest of your people. However, the fire of hate and vengeance in your eyes will lead your people to such a day. It may not be today, tomorrow, or shortly but one day it will. 

Unless you learn to harness that fire of revenge of yours for something productive. As I did. After all, You and I are of the same kind. Burning everyone that tries to get close to us with our flame of vengeance." 

"Shut up, you and I are not the same. The central government killed my mother and threw me to a pack of hungry monsters. Do you see these scars on my body? I never removed them with any beautification cards because they are the marks of my will. My will to survive—" 

"Your will for vengeance, be honest to yourself. Accept your hatred, and you will find that nothing is more empowering," Ada said excitedly. As she knew if there was ever a person who would understand her then it was the person sitting in front of her, Abel Chase. 

"I am only serving my Master because it serves my flame of vengeance. What about you Prince Chase? Does serving your people serve your flame of vengeance?"
