“Krai Baby, is this investigation that difficult?” asked Liz as we watched the other First Steps hunters pour out of the clan-house lobby.

Usually, hunters’ expressions were alight with anticipation and thrill as they embarked on quests, but these hunters looked like they were marching towards the gallows—I didn’t recall saying that this quest would be difficult though. It certainly wouldn’t be a walk in the park, but we’d taken the precaution to send in that many hunters anyway.

What made them so sure that there’ll be terrible challenges ahead?

“You haven’t led a party in years,” whined Liz, almost childishly. “Even if you’re just catching up later, you’re still going with them when you barely tag along with our hunts!”

I hadn’t stepped away from leading parties for my own benefit but for the safety of everyone involved. Even back when the other Grievers dragged me from vault to vault, I’d rarely given any directions—simply because I had the unfortunate propensity to crack under pressure. The most influence I’d dared pose on my team at the time was answering their yes-no questions from time to time, but even that had led to disastrous outcomes more than once.

The Grieving Souls had prospered not because of my leadership but in spite of it.

And upon coming to terms with my uselessness the hard way, I’d retired from making decisions for the team.

Liz should’ve known this better than anyone. It was all the more perplexing, then, that she was looking at me in this way.

“I have my reasons,” I told her without much thought as per usual.

“What are they? Why can’t I come?” she pleaded. “Why not? You wouldn’t want to bring Ark if it wasn’t something good. Please, Krai Baby?”

Liz’s pink eyes glittered with anticipation for a life-threatening challenge.

Her tendency for senseless violence didn’t extend to Ark out of her respect for his abilities. Apparently, even the Stifled Shadow couldn’t make easy prey of the multitalented magic-Swordsman, Ark Rodin.

She’s hopeless; her brain is fried.

As Liz shook me by the arm like a toddler begging for candy, I let out a sigh and said, “It’s just that you don’t play well with others.”

“What?” replied Liz in disbelief. “Don’t worry! Everyone else will go along with whatever I do.”

Exactly what I just said.

Meanwhile, Tino apprehensively watched her mentor.

And so, I decided to pinch Liz by her cheeks. She looked at me and blinked.

I continued pinching as I said, “You just came back from your last hunt, Liz. You should get some rest.”

Just staying at home will make everyone happy—it’ll make me happy.

Liz beamed at me, and I couldn’t help but wish that she always looked this nonviolent.

“You’re such a gentleman, Krai Baby! But we’re fine though, aren’t we, T?”

Tino nodded furiously like there was a dagger on her throat. “Y-Yes! We’re great, Lizzy... Master.”

“See?” added Liz.

Liz and I had known each other for a long time, pretty much our entire lives, so I could often tell what she was up to just by looking at her. That mischievous
