"This is not good! They need to know they are in danger! But Madam Yao banished me and won't listen to me—"
Reri muttered to herself loud enough for anyone nearby to hear her complaints. Her disheveled appearance coupled with her wild eyes and pale face made her look like a madwoman best avoided.
'Is this your idea of help? What did you do to her?'

Rin immediately understood what happened. Reri had somehow been tricked by the system and ended up in this condition.
She was not someone Rin liked, but right now, she was his only way into the settlement.
'Ugh, this is going to suck. But I guess I can take some insults if it meant accomplishing his goal.'
Rin sighed and decided to approach Reri.
She did not notice his presence at first, but as soon as Rin came within arm's reach, she took out a gun and aimed it at Rin's head.
