"Come, have a drink."
Hermes had just tried to ease the atmosphere. But after Haimo drew his gaze back from the window, he quietly looked at the empty air beside Hermes, who sat opposite him.
"Speaking of which, isn't your captain tired of standing there for so long?"
"Huh?"
Hermes froze at that. Haimo was looking at the empty aisle behind him to his left.
"That helmet can hide your figure and even conceal some fluctuations in magic."
Haimo looked at that patch of empty air.
"But a lady's gaze constantly resting on me is still far too obvious."
Silence fell around the round table for a few seconds.
Before he could react and turn to look, he saw it.
The air behind him to his left suddenly rippled and distorted like water. Immediately afterward...
A tall woman's figure appeared out of thin air. She had short, aqua-blue hair and wore rimless glasses. She wore a white wraparound coat over a short golden dress. Several belt pouches filled with small tools hung at her waist, and she wore metal sandals decorated with little wing designs. And...
In her right hand, she held a partially enclosed helmet forged from black metal. She was the one who could craft the [Hades' Helmet], which granted its wearer invisibility.
The captain of the [Hermes Familia]-the [All-Rounder], Asfi Al Andromeda. Standing less than two meters from Hermes, Asfi raised her left index finger and pushed her glasses up her nose.
Then she could not help lowering her head, looking through her lenses at Haimo seated in his chair.
"Lord Haimo."
"When did you notice me?"
Asfi had always been confident in the invisibility of the [Hades' Helmet] she had made herself. She had never expected to be caught today before she had even gotten close.
