Capítulo 120: Deal

"Oh, that's because of my one-time use artifact. When I heard your lady's loud cries I thought I found the orc hideout and activated a rather expensive trinket that enveloped me in a silent spell for two minutes. I didn't want them to be ready for my arrival by holding their captives hostage at knife-point and such."

Oh. That explanation sounds rather reasonable. I glance towards Ayame, asking for confirmation. She is the only one that actually knows how magically imbued items work amongst the three of us.

A simple nod of her head ascertains me that she could be telling the truth. I can feel that the newcomer harbors no ill will, at least for now, so I quickly decide to get dressed. I'm still buck-naked, after all. 

Furthermore, if she is a real mithril ranked adventurer then even if we work together I don't think we have much of a chance at beating her, no matter how ridiculous that statement sounds based on her rather comical appearance.
