Kieran sized up his surroundings while sitting in a restaurant.
Similar to the narrow alley outside, the restaurant was small, old and broken.
Fortunately, it was still clean enough, although the customers only amounted to a handful.
Other than Kieran, only Great Swamp was present, as he was the inviter.
Throughout the meetings, Great Swamp presented himself as a mature and steady character. He could even be considered as a profound existence in a certain perspective.
However, spanning from the last phone call to the current meeting in the restaurant, Kieran's impression of Great Swamp had changed significantly.
To be more precise...The impression crumbled.
"What? Do I look weird?"
Great Swamp looked at Kieran after he passed the menu to the simple, honest middle-aged man that was also the waiter cum cook of the place.
"Um."
Kieran nodded without concealing his feelings.
