Camp B…
"Guys, I'm back."
Ayakami greeted her friends, who were casually chatting in front of four tents.
There were five of them in total: two women and three men.
When they saw Ayakami come back, they smiled.
But their smiles quickly disappeared when they noticed Nolan standing beside her.
A tall, red-haired man with a stern expression stood up and asked in a gentle tone, "Where have you been? Do you know how worried we were about you?"
From the moment he stood up, he didn't even look at Nolan, as if he didn't exist.
Nolan noticed his attitude but remained indifferent, completely unaffected by it.
"I went to the northern part of the forest to look for clues about the monster our instructor mentioned. Oh, right."
Ayakami turned toward Nolan and introduced him.
"He's a lost stranger I happened to save from a high-level monster. His name is Nolan Lorian."
"Lorian?"
The tall man and the others were taken aback.
