"Why do you know my name?"
"Does that really surprise you, Lord Red?"
Standing behind the counter, a man with slit eyes and sly grin looks at me with a seemingly mocking mannerism.
"Why is someone from Axi'an here doing business? From what I remember, Joulst closed their walls from the entirety of Visma."
"If you don't know the answer, I assume you failed your geography classes, trainee."
Since he immediately got to my nerves, I pull out my gun from my holster and pointed it at him.
But instead of getting scared, he simply lets out a chuckle and rests his chin on his arm on the counter.
"Who is he, Eis?"
"Eis? That's an interesting alias."
Since this is between me and the Axi'an, I gently push back Garel to not let him get in the way and to keep him safe.
"I have a lot of questions now, but I'm here for something far more important."
"Important? Well, that certainly piques my curiosity."
