Inner World, S-rank Highest-Tier Station.
"Alright, go ahead. What exactly did you want from me?"
Glancing around with some exasperation, Bai Zhi asked the red-haired loli beside him.
He had no idea what she had done, but among the crowds passing through the Station, no one paid them any attention.
"Take this, and make sure you carry it with you!!"
She pulled a leaf-shaped medal resembling a protective charm from her pocket and angrily shoved it into his hand.
"I heard all the details from the Jar Merchant. We can help you, but only a little. After you use this medal, I'll be able to enter the Dungeon, but only once, and only for three minutes. Don't call me unless it's absolutely critical."
"...Another medal?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly and examined the leaf-shaped medal in his hand.
Judging by the material, it was somewhat similar to the half-gray medal the White-haired Man in Sunglasses had given him before. But that man could be summoned into the Dungeon for half an hour, whereas she only had three minutes.
"If you don't want it, give it back."
Qian Sui glared at him and unhappily held out her hand.
"If it weren't for the Jar Merchant, I wouldn't have..."
"Oh, here you go."
Bai Zhi nodded and placed the medal back in her hand.
Qian Sui: "..."
After staring blankly for a moment, Qian Sui came to her senses and, slightly embarrassed and angry, shoved the medal back into Bai Zhi's hand.
As if afraid he would return it again, she gripped his hand tightly and refused to let go, looking thoroughly fierce.
"No, you have to keep it. I don't like owing people favors."
"It's fine. I do good deeds without asking for anything in return. I'm just that noble."
