Lorien's Concern

Dining Hall

William, Jessica, and Gryph were dining here, while Golden Mask supervised from the side as a waiter.

In front of Gryph was a grand feast of grapes. The ingredients had all come from the merchant guild. During the more than a year he had been independent, he had rarely eaten a decent meal, so he was currently gorging himself.

While Gryph ate, Jessica, who wore a mask, would glance over from time to time.

Although he had already learned to distinguish reality from acting, he was still somewhat wary, especially after seeing Jessica's stitched-together, gaping mouth and the teeth embedded all over it through the mask. He felt even more strongly that she might eat him.

William's voice suddenly came from the side. "Miss Jessica is very curious about your body as a doctor. She's already given me a physical examination and offered some useful advice. Little Grape, you should give it a try."

Unexpectedly, before Little Grape could respond, Jessica spoke first:

"Evil Sun Carrier, at least four sizable kindlings have fused with your body. Even if I examined you, I wouldn't be able to detect everything perfectly. You might even become contaminated by a curse.

"Only by going to the Dental Hall and borrowing its ancient instruments could you receive a complete examination.

"Also, the 'base' you use to store the kindlings is very interesting. Although it looks like a 'corpse,' these corpses seem to have remarkable origins, and all of them came from special humans in the other world.

"The humans corresponding to each corpse were highly talented, especially in the field of eyes. Using eyes to carry Evil Suns of a similar form... Impressive.

"How amazing, William. You actually have someone like this by your side. The Old World probably couldn't find five people
