Chapter 202: Threat and Information
Ansu’s gaze lingered on the mysterious traveler in the corner of the tavern for a long time.
After making her atmosphere-dampening comment, the woman returned to silence. She quietly lifted her oak mug and took small sips, as if an invisible barrier separated her from the surrounding clamor.
Although her face remained hidden, Ansu couldn't shake that inexplicable sense of familiarity. He instinctively turned toward Brenda.
"That lady... is she also a member of the mutual aid association?"
"She is not," President Brenda shook her head, looking over with a thoughtful expression.
"She claims to be a wanderer who fled her destroyed hometown. She's staying at a nearby inn for now and has been stopping by occasionally these past few days for a drink."
"That guest is indeed quite mysterious," another member of the association chimed in.
"But from what we've seen lately, she doesn't seem like a bad person. She’s painfully quiet, but I get the feeling... she actually wants someone to talk to, she just doesn't know how to start."
"Oh, so she's socially anxious..." Ansu nodded thoughtfully.
