"Please don't reject us. Going into this valley is better with a group." Samuel strongly insisted with a smile.
"Excuse me?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows, showing her displeased. She had told them that she didn't plan to go with them. Everyone already knew that her character, which was different from what she had shown to Noel the whole time. This was just her past character that she had changed, but since the other party didn't back down, she had to show them.
Samuel flinched and tried to explain. "I don't mean to be rude to you. But the valley is extremely dangerous. We might not be stronger than you, but our group is by no means weak. We can give you some help."
Surprisingly, Kirika stepped up and said with hostility. "As expected from the famous Anna Stargaze. You're as cold as ever. I wonder how much torture Noel has received from you. I'm starting to pity him for getting paired up with you."
