The Worst Negotiation

Being reunited with someone I wasn't exactly happy to see again, I had escaped the castle.

We made our way out of the underground prison and through another level below it.

"I didn't know there was a hidden passage like this..."

"Well, old castles with a long history often have secret passages."

Apparently, there was a way to get out from beneath the castle, and Gregorio had calmly familiarized himself with the escape route.

"You never know what might happen in this world. A small-time citizen like me has no choice but to ensure my own safety this way."

That's rich.

I glanced at the man chattering away beside me with a dubious expression.

Considering what this man had done in Last Aka, where exactly was he a "small-time citizen"?

I'd like to interrogate him about that for a good hour...
