Come at me! Raiju's Storm Clouds!!

He he he... Schlom Anguis!

Hrm!

Tsch, it ran away...

Whatever. Judging by how it looked, I don't think it'll go after Krantz and the others.

Yeah, you're right.

Anyway, hey, you. You're pretty good.

......

What, now it's the silent treatment? I even gave you a compliment.

......

Huh? Now even you've gone quiet, Rhoa...

Hey...have we met somewhere before?

...!

What are you talking about? Didn't you just say you didn't know him?

Well, obviously I don't know him, but...

It's just that when we were fighting together...

...something about him felt familiar in a way.

Kafka, didn't you feel it, too?

Hmm... Now that you mention it, I definitely felt something...

...!

Come to think of it, we haven't asked your name. Who are you?

D-Don't get too friendly with me, humans!

Whoa, surely you could at least tell us your name!

I didn't fight that demonic beast for your sakes.

I acted for my own benefit!

Don't forget... I am a demon of Ishgria, and your enemy!

Our enemy, huh...?

You probably are, but it really doesn't feel like it.

Exactly. Of all the demons we've encountered here, you feel more human somehow, I guess...

...!

L-Like I just said, don't get too friendly with me!

I have things I must do.

I have no more time to spend with the likes of you!

He's gone...

Well, nothing we can do about that.

Let's prioritize catching up with Krantz over investigating that guy, for now.

You said it.

That was close...

I had completely forgotten how sharp Rhoa and Kafka's intuition was...
