Ink Orchid asked in confusion: "Why?"
Perilla said, "White Ivy left together with a Metal Mantis named Red Peach. There was also a Flame Spider Warrior who didn't meet the Melde Chamber of Commerce's recruitment standards; it refused to give up."
"Oh—"
Ink Orchid roughly understood.
Red Peach was a matter of race; it wasn't a Flame Spider Roving Merchant, so it wasn't invited to join the Melde Chamber of Commerce.
Ink Orchid asked, "Who is the Little Flame Spider that doesn't meet the Melde Chamber of Commerce's recruitment standards?"
Perilla said, "For those who don't meet the standards, we don't ask their names."
Ink Orchid: "..."
Ink Orchid then asked, "What about the Snow Velvet Spider King? And there was another very powerful Blood Root Spider King."
