Chen Yu glanced at the man's missing ring finger. 'This guy really is Kane.'
'But wasn't he supposed to return to the Kingdom? Why is he still lingering in the pre-outpost ruins?'
He hopped onto the man's hand and issued a questioning sound.
Kane relaxed completely upon hearing the familiar "sound." He glanced warily at the alley's entrance and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's a long story. This isn't the place to talk. Please, come with me to our temporary base."
Then, his gaze fell on Yano. He extended a hand and introduced himself, "Kane. Before... I was a Mercenary."
Yano shook the man's hand. "Yano, a Knight's squire."
Surprise flashed in Kane's eyes upon hearing this.
'Anyone who dares to call themselves a Knight's squire has at least participated in the formal Knight training of one of the Kingdoms. Even if they failed the final trials, they're no ordinary person.'
'The Slime Kingdom even has Knights from the Human Kingdoms.'
