One Against All

Pretty much first thing, I noticed quite a few nobles that were camping out rushed to Nathan, promising him money.

"Are you Natan? I am willing to pay one hundred gold coins if you let me join your group!"

After all, he didn't bother trying to hide the fact that he looked like a commoner with his torn clothes and dirty visage.

However, in response, he only dug into his ear canal with a pinky.

"Idiots, I already have enough money. Don't you know I'm the one that sells the precious pale meat that your parents are all so desperate to get?"

Hearing that made quite a few people discouraged. Though there were still those that we originally encountered that were still rather adamant. Although some of them gravitated to me, most of them actually went to Nathan.

It looks like most people were already aware of the general rankings at this point, and realized that Nathan was the top choice.

...And out of those people, there was also Minori.

"N-Natan!"
