"That's right master. Sister, Fey look always stressed." Voli, the clever and loyal golden bear, plopped down onto the floor, his heavy frame creating a soft thud. His eyes, filled with a mix of weariness and affection for his master, met Fein's gaze. Fein couldn't help but tease his furry friend, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Voli, my old friend," Fein chuckled, "some things never change, huh? You're still as lazy as ever."

Voli's ears perked up at the sound of Fein's voice, his expression a mixture of playful annoyance and contentment. He let out a low rumble, as if protesting against the accusation, but his eyes sparkled with a shared understanding between them.

Fein walked over to where Voli lay, bending down to ruffle the golden bear's fur. His fingers ran through the soft, golden strands, relishing in the familiar warmth and texture. Voli responded with a soft grunt, a sign of familiarity and comfort.

"You know, Voli," Fein continued, a playful tone in his voice, "I thought you would have picked up a few new tricks while I was away. But it seems you're still the same old lazy bear."

Voli's eyes narrowed, his mouth opening in what seemed like a bearish grin. It was as if he understood every word Fein spoke, his eyes revealing a hidden depth of intelligence and a bond that transcended words.

Fein's teasing continued as he recounted stories of their past adventures, reminiscing about the times when Voli's laziness had both amused and exasperated him. The cozy room resonated with their shared laughter, filling the air with a sense of camaraderie and affection.Fey, who had been silently observing their interaction, couldn't help but join in the banter. She teased Voli about his penchant for finding the most comfortable spots to nap. "Well, I'll head back to my room now..."

"Takecare." Fein nodded.

After Fey was gone. Fein sighed a little. He didn't dare to look at his sister as he knew that what he said was true. 'Well, it's not bad. Anyways, her current maturity is a good thing.'

The following day, Fein made his way to the secret base of the Dark Knights, curious to see how things had changed during his year-long absence. As he stepped into the familiar surroundings, the members of the Dark Knights caught sight of him, their expressions transforming from surprise to sheer ecstasy. They greeted him with excitement, their voices echoing through the base.

"Boss! You're back!" one of the members exclaimed, his eyes widening with delight.

Fein grinned in response, feeling a surge of warmth at their enthusiastic welcome. "It's good to be back, everyone," he replied, his voice filled with genuine affection for his comrades.

As the initial excitement settled, Kassandra, the strong swordswoman and Fein's right-hand woman, stepped forward to brief him on the changes that had taken place in the organization.

"Boss, since you've been gone, our members have shown a remarkable increase in their completion rate for missions," Kassandra reported, her voice brimming with admiration. "Their dedication and training have paid off, and we've achieved some significant victories."

Fein nodded, impressed by the dedication and progress of his team. He could see the determination reflected in their eyes and the way they carried themselves.

Kassandra continued, "We've also successfully developed your superpower serum that has enhanced the abilities of our members. It's been a game-changer in our operations, giving us a significant advantage in combat situations."

Fein listened intently and occasionally nod his head with satisfaction. He had always encouraged innovation and progress within the Dark Knights, and he was pleased to see the fruits of their labor.

And that's not all," Kassandra added, her voice growing even more animated. "We've recruited over a hundred new members who have shown exceptional potential."

"Not bad..." Fein's smile widened. He knew that the growth and expansion of the Dark Knights were crucial for expansion, and he was delighted to see their ranks swelling with talented individuals. "Kassandra, you didn't disappoint me. It seems my decision to recruit you was right."

"I'll keep working hard." Kassandra who look stoic most of the time gave a rare, genuine smile on her face.

Feeling a surge of gratitude, Fein addressed his comrades. "I'm proud of each and every one of you. The Dark Knights have grown stronger during my absence, and it's because of your dedication."
