"He's going to be crucial for when we escape?"
My interest was immediately piqued when I heard his words.
In an attempt to quench my curiosity, I asked.
"Who exactly is he?"
But my other self simply shook his head.
"You will find out once you challenge him."
"Haaa..."
Closing my eyes, I let out a long sigh. As usual, he would always leave out the more important details for later.
What a terrible habit.
"...So I won't be fighting against the current emperor?"
"Not yet."
A narrow grin spread across my other self's face as he replied.
"If you were to fight him right now, you would only end up losing."
"Hmm...?"
Involuntarily, my brows furrowed as I tilted my head.
"You serious?"
"...Yeah."
Processing the information, my eyes closed.
'So another one who is stronger than me...'
