An Unexpected Adventurer

Perhaps it was because such an unexpected person had appeared.

I was a little flustered, but I didn't let it show on my face.

There were too many eyes on me for that.

Anyway, she wouldn't just disappear once the meeting was over, so I decided to just watch for now.

*Now that I think about it, she did show signs of wanting to leave Lemegeton last time...*

I speculated that perhaps she had achieved that wish and was now working as an Adventurer.

That's when it happened. The atmosphere inside the Inn, which had been rather dull, suddenly grew heavy as if cold water had been poured over it. It seemed there were a few Adventurers who recognized Nikki.

Tsk, looks like even that bastard joined... Who knows if that bitch will betray us halfway through.

It seemed her status as a Manifestor was also widely known. Even without straining my Hearing, their whispers were clearly audible. Nikki probably heard them too, but when I saw her act so nonchalant, it seemed she was used to such situations.

Ah...
