"Is this bastard promoting the fact that he is hunting us—or you, to be exact?" Millonia comments. "What is he expecting? People giving him money?"
"He might be one of the most prominent figures among Bounty Hunters. It can mean that no one but him should hunt the Arsonist," Lunea theorizes.
"To be fair, we are not worth that much as the Arsonist's accomplices. I mean, 2,000 Gold is way less mouthwatering than 200,000 Gold," Winerva adds her two cents in. "No one, I am sure, hesitates to abandon the Arsonist for the Shadow."
Shadow is the nickname Nobles gave me for my other "persona." I jokingly called myself this before, unaware that it had become my official nickname.
After discussing among themselves, the girls finally turned to me. "What do you think about this, Layland?" they ask in unison.
"I think…" I gesture at the rapidly approaching carriage. "Lunea should assume her role as the damsel in distress."
