Chapter Three: The Convergence and the Pandemonium

How did it end up like this? I contemplated as I cast a half-hearted smile in Gark’s niece’s direction; on the contrary, she, dressed casually, wore a radiant smile on her face.

The coffee shop, rather close to the clan house, was bustling with quite the crowd even on a weekday afternoon.

I didn’t attract much attention normally, but today, I could feel an unusual number of eyes on me—it was Chloe’s fault.

Ms. Niece, being the Association’s poster girl, was obviously a cheerful beauty. Her appearance fitted in perfectly even among the multitude of handsome and beautiful people around me. And so, such a girl would surely draw attention when seen with a man like me. Yet Chloe seemed completely unfazed by it. Perhaps nervous, she blushed slightly, but she didn’t seem to be bothered by it at all.

“Sorry to bother you out of the blue when you’re busy.”

I’d just been diligently my Relics when Chloe Welter had arrived at the clan house. Apparently, she’d taken my pleasantry from our previous encounter seriously and decided to come to visit on her day off.

I wasn’t bragging, however I was a very easily swayed person. I avoided obvious troubles, but otherwise, I was rather open to everything. And when it came to an invitation from Gark’s niece, considering the implications that lay ahead, I had no choice but to accept. Though I would’ve declined if Gark himself had come. I was a bit on guard, but Chloe appeared to have really come for just a chat.

Looks could be deceiving, but apparently, Chloe was a fan of Grieving Souls. There were quite a few parties among hunters who were idol-like, but it was rare for our party, trouble-prone in many ways, to have our own fans. Personal fans (not that I had any) aside, this was the first time I had encountered a fan of an entire party.

“Hmm? ‘What’s so good about you all’? Well, of course, you’re...very strong, sir.”

“Hmm, I see. Is that so? Thank you.”

As expected of Gark’s niece—she was quite the brawn enthusiast.

I nodded in appreciation, albeit at a peculiar point.

Chloe was a genial girl with an aura that brightened up her surroundings. It was easy to see why she was popular.

I wasn’t particularly eloquent, and I felt like I might blurt out something unnecessary. I’d love for her to leave the Association and join our clan as our receptionist, but I’d probably get roughed up by Gark if he found out about that.

As we exchanged words placidly, the topic of our conversation shifted towards Arnold.

“By the way, I heard you’ve successfully repelled the Crashing Lightning, haven’t you?”

“Oh, that...”

That was the most troublesome issue I was currently facing.

I let out a deep sigh.

“Man, this is annoying. It may sound weird for me to bring this up with you, you know, but didn’t I ask Gark to give Arnold a strong warning? I don’t know what happened, but he seemed super furious. I was surprised.”

“…Hmm? I think anyone would be furious if they were told that.
