Bologue's expression was somewhat complex; it was hard to imagine that Lebius had such a past.
"Alright, I'm just joking. I'm not that foolish. Kids like us, who have no one to rely on, always mature quickly. After weighing the pros and cons, I realized the danger involved. I was about to refuse, but Geoffrey agreed."
"I asked him, are you crazy? These lunatics might send us to the battlefield. But Geoffrey said he was curious about what such a world would be like. He also told me that even if we don't go with these people, once we grow up, we'd still be kicked out to find a mediocre job and live a mundane life. Maybe we wouldn't even have a mundane life and just end up dead on the streets."
"He said it was a rare opportunity."
Bologue asked, "Did Geoffrey change your mind?"
"No, people like us are stubborn, aren't we? How could he persuade me? But then I thought, if Geoffrey left with them, I wouldn't have any friends. I didn't have many friends there."
