Avae Kokoro, Villa II, Naeelis Island.
Theo had just placed his luggage inside his bedroom after checking the entire villa.
"I should take a shower and change into some light clothes." Theo mumbled as he looked at the clothes he was wearing.
They were appropriate for cold weather, not for the hot and tropical weather he was in.
Ever since they arrived a couple of hours ago, everyone realized the difference between the sunny and tropical weather of the Kokoro Islands from the cold wintry winter weather of their country.
Theo opened his bag and picked up some clothes before he entered the 'bathroom'.
The bathroom was so big that it was easily bigger than Theo and Aurora's old apartment.
Just like that, Theo took a cold shower to wash the journey over here, and soon after, he exited the bathroom wearing his summer clothes.
Blue sandals, blue shorts, and a white T-shirt from the [SAO] Novel.
"I should contact the others." Theo mumbled as he picked up his phone.
He opened the messenger app to see if they had sent him any messages, it was only then that he noticed that he was in a new text group.
He saw the group's name and let out a laugh.
[Pick up the phone, Theo!]
It seemed while he was taking a shower, they were looking for him that they set this group's name.
Theo: I'm here!
Theo: What's up? (?????)
He sent the message, and it didn't take longer than a second for them to reply.
Sam: Where were you????
Lauren: We've been calling you for ages!
The others also sent messages agreeing.
Theo: I was taking a shower and changing into something consistent with the weather.
Theo: Don't tell you guys haven't even showered yet...
Theo: ( ?.?)
Everyone was speechless when they read his reply. They indeed hadn't showered yet as they were so excited after seeing their villas that they started talking to each as soon as they finished seeing everything.
Max: I didn't shower yet...
Kin: Me neither.
Max: Lauren had not showered yet either.
Lauren: Maximilian! I'll beat you up!
The others knew that Max and Lauren were sharing a room, they were a couple after all, so they could imagine the scene of Lauren beating Max up at that exact moment and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Theo: Anyways, why you guys were calling me?
June: We wanted to ask you what we should do this afternoon.
Ryoko: Yeah, there were so many options, and we can't decide which one is the best.
Theo: Guys, we are on vacation!
Theo: You guys are free to do whatever you want without any holdbacks.
Theo: Go crazy!
Theo: For example, I just want to enjoy the beautiful beach here this afternoon. I think I'll spend the whole afternoon at the beach. ?(???)?
It was only then that they realized that Theo was right, they should enjoy their stay the way they liked!
Max: You're wise, Theo. (???)
Kumiko: @Max, you're still alive?
Kumiko: Theo's right, we should do whatever we want.
andasnovel.com Sam: I like Theo's plan tho, the beach here is so amazing!
Sam: I'll spend this afternoon at the beach then.
Even though the others agreed with Theo's argument, they still decided to follow him to spend the afternoon at the beach.
The beach was too beautiful for them to ignore.
Plus, they would not admit it, but even though they agreed with Theo, they still preferred group activities to go alone somewhere else.
Just like that, they agreed to meet at the beach in 30 minutes.
Theo put down his phone after they agreed on the time to meet and looked at the two unopened bags.
"I should assemble the drones while they get ready." Theo mumbled as he picked up the bags and placed them on top of a hardwood table at the side.
He didn't have to change clothes to go to the beach, so he had some free time as he waited for the others.
"Sylph, show me schematics of the drone." Theo said as he opened his laptop.
Each villa had an extremely potent connection, therefore, Theo could talk and give commands to Sylph normally.
Sylph opened the schematics files as soon as he opened the laptop, Theo analyzed them carefully before he started working on the assemble.
After making sure he memorized everything, he opened the two bags filled with hundreds of pieces.
"It will be a tiring job." He sighed as he started working on the first drone.
He was indeed correct, but with his eidetic memory and skillful hands, Theo assembled the drones extremely fast.
10 minutes later, a shining and high-tech drone was assembled.
"Sylph, initiate this drone." He gave the drone.
Only Sylph was able to operate and initiate the drone, as this was one of the security measures to protect against possible technology leaks.
A second later, the drone silently took flight and floated in front of Theo.
"Great!" Theo exclaimed happily.
With this drone, he would be able to take care of everyone's security.
"Scan the villa for possible hidden cameras and other threats." He gave the command that he had been dying to give.
Even though he knew that the Avalon Resort Hotel was extremely prestigious, he had seen several news reporting cameras hidden in hotel rooms.
After everyone left their villas, he would send the drones to check everyone's villas as well.
Even though it sounded paranoid, Theo would rather be called paranoid than let go and possibly have someone attacking his loved ones.
The drone was equipped with high-tech sensors, so it could sense any threats and hidden equipment.
As soon as Theo gave the command, the drone took flight and started to scan the room.
Theo left the drone alone, and started working on the second drone he brought.
10 minutes later, he had just finished assembling the second drone when the scanning drone came back.
"Sylph, initiate this drone." Theo said as he pointed at the drone that he had just assembled.
The drone also took flight soon after.
"What's the result of the inspection?" Theo asked.
"No hidden equipment was found. No threats detected as well." Sylph's voice replied through the drone.
Theo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, but before he could be entirely satisfied, he had to check everyone's rooms.
It was at that moment that he heard the doorbell ringing.
"It must be Aurora." Theo mumbled.
"Sylph, no matter what, the drones can't be seen. Utilize the invisible modes at 100%." Theo gave the order.
As sci-fi drones given by the system, the drones had many amazing features, and the invisible mode was one of them.
In invisible mode, the drone would go invisible to detectors, cameras, and human eyes.
"After everyone leaves their villas, scan the villas for any hidden equipment and threats." He said as he stood up.
"After doing this, scan the villas' surroundings as well." He added as he walked away to open the door for Aurora.
"Yes, master!" Sylph replied through the before.
As soon as she said that, the drones activated the invisible mode and flew out of Theo's villa.
They went to complete Theo's mission!
