David, Lucie, and the others couldn't help but feel a mix of gratitude and suspicion as they stared at Max, who had just saved their lives.
Even Akemi, who knew more about Max thanks to one of her summons was surprised to see him.
"I've been exploring the dungeon, and little me saw that the sixth floor was completed-" he tried to justify why he would be here, but he was cut off by the embrace of someone: Camelia.
Without thinking, the mage felt the urge to go hug him, even if it was in front of everybody, "Thank you, Max, somehow you always come to me when I need you…"
She didn't show emotions to anybody, always letting herself be seen as a powerful leader, but it was different in front of Max as she truly valued him.
In response to that, Max just started gently rubbing her head while whispering, "There, there," he had no experience with women whatsoever, but he felt like it was the right thing to do.
