Shiro's eyes widened. It seems like he can no longer hide the fact that he had been lying to them this whole time.
He was able to hear now because of the leveling up, which cured all his abnormal conditions including the poison as well as his damaged ears.
This was evident from the system notification on the screen.
[Your ears have been healed.]
[Poison has been removed from your body.]
The texts were still present. Shiro was about to check them before which they ended up shouting in the background.
But in any case, he thought that he was in another trouble right now.
He thought that they found out that he was the other person who got separated from them earlier.
Also, he wasn't sure if they recognized his face.
"Uh... Hi?", Shiro greeted them awkwardly.
A burly man walked in front of him and lowered his body to match Shiro's height.
"Hmmm…", the burly man pondered for a while.
