After he returned, the first person that he saw was the Sword Saint. It seemed that he wanted to meet him before coming back.
When both of them stood in front of each other, the Sword Saint let out a long sigh as if he admitted defeat. "Since when have you planned all this?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your identity."
"…" Theo fell silent for a moment.
"You're not going to play dumb?"
"Is there a reason for it?" Theo shrugged. "I've prepared for the worst since long ago, and it seems that it pays off."
"The worst, eh? Even if I didn't help you, it seemed that you had planned to take down the Death Reaper…"
Theo didn't answer him, but that was also an answer.
The Sword Saint shook his head helplessly. "I never expected that you tried to justify your identity as Joker by using the Death Reaper."
