"Would they even be Treasure Hoarders if they weren't arrogant?"
"That's true."
Shen Fei's one line made Paimon laugh. She thought back to all the Treasure Hoarders they had encountered along the way. Most of them had been extremely arrogant, and only a small portion had been forced into it. The Treasure Hoarders of today had long since abandoned the ideals they had held in Redmiller's era.
"Inef, what's wrong?" Just then, a drowsy Aino walked out of the workshop. After the barbecue party had ended yesterday, Aino had taken the sensory helmet Shen Fei gave her back to study it. It was only because Inef was there that she had not stayed up all night researching. Inef's existence really was a good thing for Aino.
"Aino, we caught the Treasure Hoarders." As Inef spoke, she pointed at the three people sprawled on the ground. All of them had been knocked unconscious by her electricity.
"It's them? Inef, give them a proper interrogation. See if they're after my little buddies."
After Aino and Inef became well-known, very few people had dared to set their sights on this place anymore, but there were always some hardheaded fools who thought they were special and could succeed. In fact, back when Inef had first been born, there had even been people who had tried to target her. As for the result, the current situation said enough.
"I'll help."
Considering it was already late at night, having Inef interrogate them might waste quite a bit of time, so Shen Fei decided to handle it personally in a little while.
"As expected, I still had to step in."
After seeing Inef's interrogation, Shen Fei immediately decided to do it himself. If it had been daytime, there would have been no harm in letting her continue.
