Chapter 48
"Harold? You seem different today..."
Although I had met with Mir on the way, I managed to arrive at the guild hall without any issues.
"What happened yesterday? You seem a bit off today."
Erina, who had arrived at the guild hall before me and was waiting, greeted me. But as soon as she saw my state, she asked me with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
"Nothing major, really."
To be honest, there wasn't any lie in this statement. I had merely run into a female acquaintance on the street. I might have been slightly later than usual, but I hoped she'd overlook such a minor issue.
"Hmm... Really?"
However, Erina, who usually trusted my words, looked at me with suspicious eyes this time.
Was my demeanor that different from usual? I expected her to be a bit surprised, but I hadn't anticipated such a defensive stance.
