I rolled my eyes awkwardly at Hiscleif’s words. It seemed he found it fascinating that everything was so vivid, having just arrived in Hebel. I absentmindedly scratched my nose, feeling a bit uncomfortable.0099c98a25bfbbb5

Fortunately, it seemed that within Hebel, Hiscleif couldn’t precisely detect my pheromones. Given that Zerakiel’s pheromones were also clinging to me, it was expected.46bafac7827ab579
