135 Void Realm 2

"——Xuanming?"

Number Five blankly repeated the other person's name.

This reaction didn't seem to be because the name was unfamiliar; it was more like he hadn't expected to hear it here at all. It was similar to encountering a celebrity on the subway, where the first thought upon seeing their face isn't that you've met someone famous, but whether they might just look similar to someone else. He seemed to be subconsciously deliberating whether the name he heard could be a homophone.

Xuanming no longer looked at Number Five but turned his gaze back to the giant.

He once again carelessly revealed his real name — while such an act could hardly be called smart, coincidentally, I have never been one to care much about being considered smart. I cared more about aesthetics than that kind of standard. His unchanging demeanor and refusal to change his name were admirable to me. So, should I also imitate him and carelessly reveal my own real name?
