"Who! Who's there?"
Ronald walked openly into the ice sculpture exhibition with Phil.
He didn't hide his arrival, so the person hiding there immediately noticed them, and someone stepped out nervously, ready to face the crisis.
Soon after, the person hiding there met Ronald's gaze in the dim room.
The other person recognized Ronald's face, and the initial tension and vigilance instantly disappeared from their face.
"Ro... Ro... Mr. Ronald!"
"Why are you here?"
The one speaking was a robust middle-aged man whom Ronald happened to know—Searial.
This was the explorer he once met during the Twin Streams City ruins expedition.
And now, in such a way, he met Ronald again!
Explorers have quite a deep obsession with certain things. After asking Ronald why he was here, Searial quickly scanned the area with his eyes.
Realizing Costate wasn't with Ronald, his expression immediately became somewhat disappointed:
"And where is Miss Costate?"
