Ch 05.4

The number of people passing us decreased the further we went into one of the paths behind the statue and at some point we were left completely alone.

“Strange…”

What is it?

“I mean, it’s only normal since Lilia isn’t here, but don’t you think you had far fewer eyes following you?”

Now that you said it…

Guess my presence is too insignificant, not worth paying attention to. I already knew my beautiful wife was the one drawing all those eyes, but it’s somewhat disheartening to know no alien has an interest in me.

“The one that’s been flowing us since we left has retreated as well.”

You mean we’ve been followed the entire time and you didn’t bother telling me?

“I wasn’t sure until now. Whoever it was, they’re good.”

I was skeptical about it at first thinking that it's just the eyes of jealousy, but yesterday Lilia seemed to have noticed the presence of someone tailing us. Maybe someone obtained the info about me being filthy rich and is plan on making a quick buck?
