Angel's Share was the same as ever, nothing had changed from when you had last seen it. And that was a few years ago.

Diluc was by the counter when you had entered the tavern. He had noticed you, but you didn't see him until you looked around for the rest of your colleagues. Your eyes widened in slight surprise, before it quickly turned into distaste.

He didn't show much expression, but with the way his gaze went colder than usual and how his posture stiffened when the two of you made eye contact, it was a clear indication of the animosity shared between you two.

You of course knew that he owned this tavern, but you didn't expect to see him working here tonight. As far as you knew, from the past, he didn't work on a Saturday evening at the tavern and much preferred to stay at the Dawn Winery. But perhaps things had changed, much like the relationship between you two.

Catching a glimpse of familiar faces sitting at round table, you quickly made your way over to sit with your colleagues. And everything was fine for a few moments, before your boss called Diluc over from the table to serve them.

"Master Diluc! Can you be the one to serve us tonight?"
