Marcus was sitting at the dinner table with Nathasia, William, and Liana.
He still was only drinking juice using a straw so that he doesn't have to remove his scarf.
By now, not only Nathasia but even William and Liana had started treating Marcus as a friend even though they still didn't know his identity.
They felt that Marcus was a quiet and decent man who kept to himself for his own reasons. Still, they were very thankful to him for saving their daughter and teaching her for free.
They could see how much Nathasia had improved over the weeks and also realized that Marcus was more skilled than they thought.
They wondered why the military would let someone like him go on such a long leave. They knew the military wouldn't be so generous to let go of a man of such skills for such a long holiday.
After all, finding the Crimson Devil was still seen as a bleak hope, let alone defeating him.
