Judging from the demeanor of the mysterious magician, it was clear that they specifically came to find them.
This made Reiger somewhat curious as to why the other party would specifically seek him and Ais out at this time?
In the original story, the other party did indeed seek out Ais, but that was because Ais had previously come into contact with the mastermind behind the scenes of this event.
But here, due to Reiger's influence, Ais had been leveling up and training the Breath of the Wind in the base camp, essentially not leaving, and not getting involved in the various events that occurred in the original story. Naturally, she hadn't had any prior contact with those lurking in the darkness.
Given this, Reiger was somewhat puzzled as to why the mysterious magician who belonged to the guild would still seek the two of them out, and what the reasoning and considerations behind this might be.
Fortunately, this confusion was quickly resolved.
