— Village? A village exists in Africa?

Aileen’s tone went up in surprise. I looked at the map on the village lord’s desk.

“Yes, the village is called Crean. We just took down the lord.”

— What? It even has a lord?

“His name is Tenzuhar, a humanoid monster that looks like a lizard.”

— …

Aileen went quiet as other voices buzzed from the other side.

“Ah, it’s that kid again?” Jain grumbled unhappily. I smirked and turned off the transceiver.

“I’m curious, Jain. How do you know Aileen?”

“Me? Mm, it’s nothing special. I used to act as a hero and she was my superior. That stupid brat is only 2 years older, but always acted all important because of her gift.”

Tzzt— The transceiver buzzed as Jain finished.

— Who’s living in the village?

Yun Seung-Ah spoke instead of Aileen. Jain also had a bad relationship with her and frowned. I cleared my throat and changed my voice to Black Lotus.

“Humans.”

— Are they doing okay?

“They’re physically healthy, but look like they’ve been brainwashed. It doesn’t seem like they’ve suffered any abuse though. They think they’re miners who have been living here for a long time.”

— …

It became silent again. I didn’t hear any static either, so I assumed they turned off their transceiver to discuss among themselves. I checked the minigame as I waited.
