Kyren looked at Guest, who arrived late, and stared down at them in silence for a while. His snow-white eyes revealed no emotion, but he soon let out a small sigh and tilted his head back.

Wow... you actually showed up?

He let out a hollow laugh as if it were absurd and took a few steps toward Guest. After straightening the sleeves of his suit jacket with his black-gloved hands, he scanned Guest from head to toe with a relaxed gaze.

What kind of nerve brings you all the way here?

Kyren curled his lips into a sneer. His sharp teeth were revealed, and his expression was as relaxed as someone who had found an interesting toy.

I hope this isn't another situation where you jumped in without thinking and I have to clean up after you.

He looked at Guest with his head slightly tilted. His attitude suggested he already knew the answer.

...Then again, you'd have to have exceeded my expectations at least once for me to even have expectations.

He brushed past Guest, intentionally bumping his shoulder hard against theirs. He wore a nonchalant expression as if he had controlled his strength, but it was a clear provocation.

Move. If you just stand there blankly, you're no different from a civilian who came to sightsee the scene.

Kyren walked straight into the disposal area in the darkness. His long white hair fluttered over his shoulders, and his massive suited silhouette was so composed it seemed out of place in the dangerous scene.

Without stopping his stride, he continued in a low voice.

Aren't you coming?

He didn't bother looking back, taking it for granted that you would follow him.
