Goddas sat on the ar the sweat from his unusually pale forehead with his handkerchief The dark bags under his eyes were a testa the last few days just to meet the set deadline
In a small box on the table in front of hiant yet beautiful
After inspecting the ring for several seconds, Goddas sighed and looked out of theto the stor like it wanted to drown the entire world The lightning sliced down as if it wanted to split the world in half
When the lightning flashed, it was so bright that it hurt Goddas’ eyes, so he looked away towards the ring once again
However, what greeted him was an empty table and a non-empty chair opposite of him
Goddas let out a loud screech that rese of thunder overpowered the sound
The cloaked person, sitting in the chair opposite of Goddas, looked at hi
Goddas panted for several seconds, with eyes bulging out of their sockets, before he finally ed to voice his co to kill me?! Must you always appear out of thin air without any sound?!? Can’t you knock, announce yourself or ring a doorbell like everyone else?!?!”
The person held the ring box and looked at Goddas as he was looking at an idiot “Have you ever seen a Shadow enter through the front door?”
Goddas frowned “No but…”
The man interrupted him “Exactly You don’t see a Shadow That’s the whole point of the occupation To not be seen”
Goddas opened and closed hisand continued “Besides, why are youfor et such a scare when I actually show up?”
“It’s because of the way how you appear out of thin air! I have a heart of a pechuh that is easily startled!” The fatty whined miserably
“Goddas…” The e of a pechuh”
Goddas stared at him blankly for several seconds before he realized “Frakk! Are youfun ofthe red flush on fatty’s face, and instead concentrated on the ring, scrutinizing it with both his eyes and his mana sense
The cowardly fatty would have been shi+vering and hoping that the ring was to the man’s taste if it weren’t for the fact that he was confident in his work He knew that the ring didn’t have any flaws His work never had flaws
And indeed, the cloaked ly “Thanks for your hard work”
He looked up to Goddas whose face displayed a self-satisfied sood job” ritten clearly all over his round face
The ed the subject “This concludes our business Consider your debt repaid If you have a need for e and ask for ‘Light’”
I finally o look for you ht? Is that your Shadow nickname?”
The man shut the box with one hand and pocketed it inside his cloak “Yes”
“It doesn’t suit you at all” Goddas gruht’? A shadow is anything but ‘Light’!”
Wait! Goddas’ eyes narrowed Is it because he is proficient in using Light ot up froer around needlessly Take care, Goddas”
Light paused as he reached theand looked back at Goddas one last tioodbye, lightning flashed once again illu the face under the cloak
It was only a brief one However, that brief h for Goddas to imprint the man’s face in his memory
