The Shadow Viper guildmaster raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Tell me."
"Right now, you're looking for an opponent to train with, right?"
"…"
Kaede didn't say anything, but her eyes wavered slightly.
Kael had guessed correctly.
'That's in-game information after all.'
"All the other guildmasters are good choices. But unfortunately, they're too busy to participate in your game."
"…Go ahead."
The fish had taken the bait.
"But I have someone who's perfect for that position. He's strong, and most importantly, he's free."
"Who?"
Kael gave a friendly, yet extremely evil smile.
Then, he looked to his right.
Where Hans was sitting, and listening to the conversation seriously.
Feeling Kael's gaze, he tilted his head slightly.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"…"
He didn't respond.
That only made the protagonist more nervous.
"Hey, say something! Don't do that to me! Hey! Hey!"
Cold sweat began to flow from all over his body.
