After begging and pleading that I wanted to study alone, I finally escaped the office.
It felt as though I had barely made it out of a demon’s den alive.

If they had business elsewhere, they wouldn’t have been staring only at the office door.
It looked very much as though they had been waiting for me.
“We weren’t able to thank you.”

“For then, and for now. Thank you.”
Well, Münmunt itself had nearly been wiped off the map without me.

It was a little burdensome from my perspective, but still.
“Very well. If that puts you more at ease, then do as you wish.”
