- I'm home! - I shouted from the threshold, gladly taking off my camouflage outfit, except for the dead cloak, and throwing it on the rack next to me.
Of course, quality materials of things and printing increase the level of comfort, but terribly annoying if worn almost around the clock.
- Welcome back! - Saya looked out of the living room, and after scrutinizing me and finding no noticeable damage, she sighed in relief. - How was the mission?
- Quite... intense," I chose the most streamlined expression, not intending to scare Ma by mentioning my run-in with the ancient monster, "at least now I'm pretty sure that the first C-rank missions are cursed, regardless of the team.
- Did something happen? Is your team okay? - She worried.
- 'Next to me, what could happen to them,' I waved her off, 'and the mission was a rank higher and we had to fight off the mercenaries with the nukenin sent for the cargo, well not too strong yet.
Against me, a weaker jonin might not have made it, given the bald men's skill.
- That's fine," Saya sighed in relief, clasping her hands to her chest.
- Where are the little one and Linley? - I asked, taking off my shoes and hugging Ma.
Usually they'd show up right away when they saw me, but I haven't heard a peep from them.
- They went for a walk in the park and should be back in an hour and a half.
- I'll have time to write the reports," I nodded, "or Tsumi won't give me a chance to do it later.
- I'll start cooking dinner in half an hour. Shall I bring it to your office if you don't have time, or will you eat with everyone? - Mom asked.
- Better in the office, - answered, thinking, - okay, I'll go rinse off and get to work.
