Chapter 52: “We Have a Fool Here!”
What went wrong? She was outed right away. Either this Wayne guy had much better intuition than Rare thought, or he was just plain sharp. Or maybe Rare was just way dumber than she thought she was. Not a conclusion she particularly wanted to entertain, all things considered.

And this avatar was undoubtedly Kerry’s, whom Wayne had met before. In other words, the person before Wayne was the Rare that Wayne knew—Kerry’s body—and at the same time also the actual player named “Rare.” For Wayne, this was the highest purity Rare he had ever met.
“So was that what you wanted to ask? If so, then are we done here?”

Huh? We’re still going with this topic? Rare thought. What’s making him go this far?
