บท 67: Conversation before the Raid

"Really?" Silvia's eyes rounded, and her face brightened.

"Does that mean you will still help me clear the cave?" Silvia asked, voice soft and a little imploring. Her tone was always proud, but ever since what happened with the Horned Rabbits, her voice took in a softer tone when talking to Ren without her even knowing it.

"If you want, I'll pay for your services, equipment or not."

Ren shook his head. "We've already established our deal. And besides, I was the one who insisted on having a tank in the group. As long as he's good, and I get an equipment fit for me, then I don't mind having lesser loot."

Silvia briefly closed her eyes and released a breath.

"Thanks. I hope that you'll still listen to me even if I'm not the leader," she joked.

Ren just glossed over her relief and said with a monotone voice. "You're my client. You're the one who employed me. I'll only listen to you no matter who the leader is."
