"Y-You! What do you know about me and my struggles? Nothing! That's right! Just because you cannot appreciate my help does not mean that others cannot as well."
Soma looked at the satisfied looks on the locals' faces as Elric defended them.
They knew that he was in too deep to abandon them all now.
'Looks like he is a gone case now. I tried to help him, but oh well. I don't have time to waste on people who don't want to be helped.'
Soma sighed and walked away.

The voice modifier he had bought in the shop was working wonders, as well as the invisibility potion that would last 24 hours.
"H-Hey kid, wait a minute. I want to ask you something."
Clair finally caught up with Soma when he stopped moving.
