Chi-Woo remained silent on his way back Ru Amuh also kept his ht
“Haaa—” Then, after a while, Chi-Woo let out a long sigh and looked back at Ru Amuh
“Mr Ru Amuh”
“Yes, sir?”
“I have a secret to confess”
Ru A secret It’s a pretty small one, but very personal,” Chi-Woo said
“You mean that it’s a secret hard for you to tell other people, sir?” Ru Amuh nodded like he understood, and Chi-Woo continued bravely
“Can I tell you this secret, Mr Ru A you if you can keep a secret”
Ru Amuh’s face turned serious then, and he shook his head “No, I don’t think I can”
“How surprising I thought you would have tight lips” A sharp glint passed over Chi-Woo’s eyes
“Not to Ru Hiana though We never kept a secret fro,” Ru Amuh said and smiled aardly
“Not even once?”
“Yes Even if I tried to keep soht away and pesteredso”
“But you can just not tell her”
“It’s difficult foretting asked the saht and day without exception for two years and seven months, you’ll have no choice but to reveal the secret,” Ru A with fear
Chi-Woo licked his lips and nodded Ru Amuh had the confidence to not tell anyone about Chi-Woo’s secret except to Ru Hiana
“Then I guess you have to make sure Ru Hiana keeps her mouth shut”
“I can’t”
“?”
“The possibility of her keeping a secret is lower than 5 percent”
“Why 5 percent?”
“There have been 20 secrets that I had been coerced into sharing and out of them, all except one was leaked”
“19 out of 20…what’s the secret that’s been kept until now?”
“That’s a secret,” Ru Ahter

“Yes, I a your secret So, I suggest that you don’t even share it with uess it can’t be helped” Chi-Woo sht he should at least tell Ru A out whenever he had to give his name, but that didn’t seem possible now
“But besides that, I heard that you received an offer…” Ru Amuh finally saw the chance to ask what he was curious about and asked
“I guess you could call it an offer” Chi-Woo shrugged and looked up at the night sky “She asked ht their enemies so they wouldn’t have to bother with them”
“Isn’t that more of a coreed “Though she did tellto attack them, so they needed to focus all their attention on that”
“Senitas?”
“She told me they were the alien species that invaded Liber”

“I’ in mind” Chi-Woo licked his lips
“What is it?”
“First…” Chi-Woo hesitated but soon continued, “I should take the offer as an offer”
“What?” Ru Amuh wondered what Chi-Woo meant
“And if possible, I want to switch ives it I aroups”
“You mean you want to make an offer with another faction?”
“Yes, but of course, only if they are willing to listen,” Chi-Woo said and looked forward His slowing steps quickened again as he continued, “There’s a saying that a crisis and opportunity are two sides of the sao for today”

Zelit didn’t respond for a while, and after a stretch of silence, his creaking voice spoke up again, “…My opinion?” He sounded very surprised and a bit distressed as if he was questioning his oorthiness to express his thoughts Chi-Woo laughed a hu like this? You’re acting like an amateur” Chi-Woo had never expected him to ask someone this question, but he voiced it all the same “Mr Zelit, are you really a hero? Why are you so distressed about such a small matter? You’re not a newbie anymore”
