(The following day)

Despite Nobel's concerns, the night passed without any trouble. Even if Smiler did want to attack, doing so in an area surrounded by Huntsmen would be foolish.

After a good night's sleep, Nobel and Blanc safely flew the Bullhead the following morning to Vale's main airport, to a private landing area which Mizuki's partner-in-justice, Rellik, had managed to secure through his wide array of connections. The airport was fairly busy, but the area was secluded enough that they had some privacy.

Diaboli was sitting cross-legged on a small white crate by the time they arrived. As soon as the Bullhead doors opened, Blanc leapt forward and flew into Diaboli's arms - crushing him in a hug so tight that even he, the possessor of one of the strongest grip strengths in Remnant, doubted his could match.

"Decade!" she cried happily, making the crime boss feel embarressed and ashamed for having made her worry.

"I'm fine, Blanc. I'm fine..." he managed with a smile, after eventually prying her arms away from his body. It was then that Blanc realised that Diaboli wasn't alone - as just off to his side was a girl with black and white hair, clad in similarly-coloured leather armour, standing with her arms folded, glaring at them.

"Are all your pets this clingy to you?" Mizuki sneered, prompting Blanc to rear up with uncharacteristic anger.

"And who might you be? I'd have thought they'd have sent somebody a little more experience then a schoolgirl from a failed academy," Blanc retaliated, facing off against her larger opponent.

As the two girls traded insults, Diaboli quietly slipped away, carrying the crate he was sitting on into the aircraft with him.

"Ah...Nobel. Good to see you. It's been a while," he greeted the doctor nonchalantly, as if he had never disappeared in the first place. "I brought you a present..."

Setting the crate down on the floor, he opened the locked lid, revealing rows upon rows of different vials and packages, each containing strange and dangerous-looking chemicals and substances. Some of them were standard ingredients used to make the special Darkening drug Diaboli had originally designed and Nobel had perfected, but there were also many which seemed extremely rare and valuable.

"I was doing a bit of collecting while I was here," Diaboli explained, holding one particularly fascinating-looking purple liquid up to the light."Discovered that there's a lot of useful stuff in Vale you can't easily get hold of in Mistral. I don't know if you already have this stuff, but take it as thanks for flying halfway across the world to help me."
