Before the Announcement Part IV

“Nicki?” Tan called her name, but another young man's laughter rang out.

“How are you going to level up alone, Tan? Those cards lower your stats a lot.” Edward commented. He took out a red cap from his back pocket and put it on.

“I don't know why, this reminds me of when we just started the game.” Another tall man followed slowly. In the sunshine, his brown hair's color intensity was more apparent. “It reminds me of when we went to the Black Forest,” Blanche told his friends.

“Tsk… You guys came after me?” Despite Tan's expression of displeasure, a slight laugh ensued.

“I followed you to share your EXP like usual. Don’t forget that my level is lower than 100. Wherever you go to level up, my level goes up anyway.” Saying that, Edward stood with his arms crossed and laughed proudly, causing Tan and Nicki to squint their eyes while Blanche chuckled.
