Kapitel 48: The Unusual Gate Node (1)

Rise had long expected that there would be a lot of people waiting for them outside of the gate, and so his expression hardly changed. 

As they descended at the center of the crowd, Kamille first withdrew his arm around Rise, but they still walked so close to each other, primarily because Rise did not move away even a bit. 

Most people were already intimidated by the identities of the two, and so they did not notice or scrutinize anything too much. 

"Wow, this place is quite lively!" Rise did not try to lower his voice, and everyone around him, especially for Espers with advanced hearing, could hear him loud and clear. 

He sounded playful as he said this, giving off a friendly vibe.

Rise smiled at the staff in the booth of the Union, who could not even look at him directly in the eye. 

He planned to joke around the Union staff, but Kamilled seemed to sense this and immediately beat him to it.
