...
'That voice... It's someone I know.'
At a time like this, the last person Lynch wanted to run into was an acquaintance.
But he couldn't just pretend he hadn't heard.
Resigned, he slowly turned around.
A tall, graceful woman emerged from the light and shadows of the castle entrance.
She wore a loose, black Mage's robe. Faint, dark patterns swirled across its surface, revealing it to be a Magic Robe.
Not only that, but the jade-bone Magic Staff in her hand, the pendant on her chest, the bracelet, the ring... every single item was Magic Equipment, and they all looked incredibly expensive.
'Holy hell~'
Lynch was completely stunned.
It was enough to make one die of envy.
He had worked his ass off grinding monsters, swindling and scamming, just to scrape together his current net worth. But compared to her, he looked utterly pathetic.
An impulse to rob her welled up inside him.
He managed to restrain himself, however.
