There sat a man and a woman in the corner of the bar.
The woman was Xi'er, the waitress who had just led the Loki clan and met Reiger and others.
She was standing next to a customer, chatting with him while sneakily glancing this way towards Reiger, until she noticed his gaze and then, embarrassed, blushed and cast her eyes down, much like a shy girl caught staring at her secret crush.
The young man talking with Xi'er was looking in Reiger's direction with eyes filled with admiration, envy, and longing.
With white hair, red eyes, and a somewhat childish face, he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, giving off a completely harmless vibe.
Reiger recognized the boy.
On the day the Loki clan set out on their expedition, this boy was in the crowd, casting the same kind of look towards Reiger and his group.
"Is he here as well?"
Reiger murmured to himself, quickly recalling the plot of the original story.
