Arthur's idea was a good one.
But as someone who'd been through this before, Lan Qingyou knew exactly why he'd hesitated.
"Looks like you know what these rats are?"
After glancing at Arthur, Lan Qingyou picked up a piece of the beef she'd portioned out with her Chopsticks.
"How could I not? Who on this continent hasn't heard of these rats everyone wants dead?"
Arthur was clearly agitated.
He'd even forgotten that he was still holding the rat's head.
But it was hard to blame him for getting worked up.
Part of it was simply seeing the rat.
But another part was that these two didn't seem to understand what the term "Britt Mouse" meant.
"Rats everyone wants dead?"
"That sounds kind of interesting."
"Come on, tell us what's going on."
As soon as it became clear there might be some juicy gossip, both Lan Qingyou, who loved watching a spectacle, and Alisa, who was naturally aloof, looked up at Arthur.
"Uh..."
Arthur's heart gave a little flutter.
With two pairs of scarlet eyes fixed on him, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
Especially since he suspected the other woman might be a "Legend."
Of course.
The other one, who hadn't shown her strength, probably wasn't far behind.
After all, people tended to associate with their own kind.
If the Black Robe was likely Star Rank, then even if the White Robe wasn't at the same level, she probably wasn't far off.
"Well, this is a long story..."
"Then keep it short."
"..."
Arthur opened his mouth.
Then he swallowed his complaint.
And, just like that, he really did keep it short as he explained to the two of them what the Britt Mice everyone on the continent knew about were.
Originally, the Britt Mice hadn't been called that.
Or rather,
