Eating in convience store

Silas's POV

"Because of you? Then can you tell me the reason?"

"Of course! That shop owner doesn't know how to bake cakes. So, I taught him how to bake, and now he has lost all his customers."

Wow. His lying is funny, but not enough to make me laugh. Still, he has a talent for bullshitting.

"And you know, there was no road here five years ago."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah! Then, I started walking from here, and now they've become fortunate enough to build a road and open many shops."

"Enough with your jokes. Just tell me—how is Orian now?"

As I asked, he turned his face towards me, though I pretended to keep looking ahead.

"Wait a moment… how do you know Orian?"

"I met him once, that's why. Now just answer my question."

"I don't know… but I'm sure he'll be fine."

I grabbed his hand to stop him. "What do you mean you don't know anything?"
