Don't look for me, I'm really not interested

"This..."

At that moment, everyone present was stunned.

"Don't look at me like that," Reiger glanced at the crowd and said, "I'm not a warrior like Gejiev Storunov who holds a position within the kingdom. I'm just an adventurer. Is it not a bit strange to discuss such matters of state or even racial significance with me?"

"Indeed," Lakyus muttered, and then said, "But Lord Brilliant is powerful, and you've fought those monsters and dealt with them before. If we had your assistance, then we..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Reiger interrupted her.

"So the very suggestion of assistance is where the problem lies," Reiger said to Lakyus with a mock smile. "Why should I offer any assistance?"

The crowd was collectively dumbfounded.

But what Reiger said next left them speechless.
