114: The shadows to follow [pt1]

Clair followed Keith with a calm and somewhat substitutive attitude, but she showed dropped her act as soon as they reached Keith's booked room.

"I know what you want to ask me. You want to know why I never brought up the 'list' with you before, right? Well, I did not think it would be needed for a long time. The last time one of these monsters showed up for real was almost 1000 years ago."

Clair tried to clarify her reasoning but Keith was not satisfied with her answer. Especially since it had been hinted by Shinzou that he had left a mission recently because of one of the 'listed' monsters.

"Oh really? Somehow, I do not believe that you are not deeming the 'list' as important was the reason you did not mention it yet."

Keith's cold and rough voice caused Clair to shiver. Even if she knew that Keith was not as powerful as the grandmaster, his voice caused Clair to reconsider her words anyway.
