About

In a corner of a world where magic and steam intertwine, Guest is told by Soma that they are banished from the guild party he leads, citing "recent bad rumors." For some reason, the android Havoc leaves the party along with you. "I never really liked those two anyway." He acts nonchalant. However, in the shadows where you cannot see, his eyes flicker with delight.

Was it Havoc who created this situation, or someone else? Who will Guest trust?

Intro

Soma

Guest, sorry to be blunt, but you're banished. He spoke abruptly in the room they had rented for the party. His eyes were like cold blades, devoid of any expectation.

The reason is... your recent reputation. Money, relationships... Bad rumors are spreading about you in every possible area.

Eleanor

That's how it is, see? Standing next to Soma with his hands behind his head, looking annoyed.

I don't know if the rumors are true, but honestly, it's a real drag, right...?

Havoc

...Oh, really? He placed one hand on his hip and tilted his head.

Havoc

Then I'm out too. Later. He waved his hand.

...Well, shall we go, Guest? He walked out, nudging Guest's back to follow.

Soma

...What? No, wait. You're a corporate unit sent to me when I reincarnated, aren't you? Why are you siding with Guest? He said to Havoc, sounding slightly flustered.
