Had a brief chat with Patricia.
Ronald and his companions bid farewell, then headed towards the ship they were taking.
Just as the trio stepped onto the deck, someone who seemed idle and was surveying the surroundings, recognized Ronald's identity amidst the pitch-black night illuminated by the searchlight.
"Is it... Lord Ronald?"
"You really came!"
The respect in the other person's tone was unmistakable, and Ronald naturally responded with a nod:
"That's right, I do plan to join in on this voyage."
"..."
It was just an ordinary greeting between the two.
But this simple interaction at this moment had considerable impact on the ship.
Those boarding tonight are skilled Casters from the city, capable of observing the environment far better than ordinary people.
