"You're quite loyal."
Just as Leilany was enraged by the unabashedly intrusive gazes of eight out of the nine individuals standing before her, Wyatt Barnes calmly looked at the medium-built middle-aged man, who was addressed by the other eight as "Second Brother," and spoke indifferently.
At the same time, as Wyatt's robe fluttered, he suddenly stood up.
In the next moment, he took a step forward, stepping through the air to come beside Leilany, naturally placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Brother Wyatt, you... you're awake?"
Since Leilany had been focused on the nine newcomers, she hadn't realized that Wyatt had already awakened from his meditation.
"Yes."
Wyatt nodded with a smile, and then added, "It seems from now on, I should be the one to accompany you on our journey... Otherwise, on this path, we might continuously encounter some reckless nuisances!"
