/Creak…/

The door slowly opened, letting a bit of fresh air flow inside the room, blowing back Fray's clothes slightly as the chilly wind blew past his neck.

"Hm?"

He turned his face to the side, trying to see who was interfering with his plans…

But his expression turned sour almost instantly.

'Well, shit.'

/Thud.../

"... So you were here brat, I looked everywhere for you!"

The humongous old man, bending his head to pass through the door, stepped inside the room, immediately noticing Fray who was looking around for an escape route.

Zaw also noticed Yumi, who was turning around to see him, and upon noticing her tired and troubled expression, he immediately felt the urge to punch Fray.

This wasn't the first time he had seen such a look, back in the big cities, he would often see Guild clerks giving him this look as well.
