บท 689: Designations

"W-what?! No way! Do you not understand what you're implying, Lewis?!"

Yes, the person speaking was Beruel. Like Jane, he was accustomed to the name I had used in my past life—therefore, he kept on referring to me as Lewis Griffith.

'He's just making things more complicated for me... but I understand.'

"How can you say I should return to the Fairy Kin—I mean, Sanctuary? Don't you know that I was evicted by Jane and her followers? I'll never be allowed in there again!"

Beruel was currently worried about his place in the plan. He and Ana were meant to assist Jane, but he was hesitant to go along with it.

It wasn't like he wanted to refuse, but... he was simply being rational.

'Jane hates his guts, after all. I mean, I could stand him, but she couldn't.'

Still, looking at Beruel now, I could say that a lot about him had changed. He was now a little less arrogant, and his respect for other beings—women especially—had gone up considerably.
