The general idea is nothing more than—
"It's not that Borbu is incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning."
"It doesn't matter, Borbu will definitely catch that damn Pirate next time, even if not next time, then the time after."
"You've done well enough, just playing to your true strength is enough, don't mind winning or losing."
"It's alright, it must be bad luck, perhaps next time with better luck, that damn Pirate will be caught!"
Kind words, but why do they sound increasingly uncomfortable to the ears?
Indeed.
Borbu's face, which started as the color of liver, gradually turned black as he listened to the various comforting lines around him, as if he might faint at any moment.
Knock knock knock—
Just as the roundtable discussions were about to get out of hand.
An abrupt knocking sound came from one corner of the table, and in an instant, all discussions and consoling voices fell silent within seconds, as if they had never existed.
"Oh?"
Yi Lin smiled slightly.
