The Third Chained Quest

"Kent, what are you doing here?" Ingrid asked the moment Kent appeared in her master's residence.

"I am here to check if that Randy guy has already picked the venue and time. I want to enter seclusion now and don't want a situation where he starts making noise that I ran when he challenged me," Kent said.

Though he could have found out or simply visited the duel hall, he wanted to see the Saintess, as he had something to give her.

During his intimate moment with his master, which Saintess Neomi had witnessed, the friendship meter increased to a whopping 40%. 

Even that was because something else needed to be done; otherwise, it would have risen to 60% or more.

What she saw had made things much easier for Kent, so he wanted to get that done quickly before moving on to more important matters later.

"He has indeed picked a place and time, and it's tomorrow at the Gravel Arena," Ingrid replied, making Kent nod.
