"W-wha...!"

Rhode shot up and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling.

Rhode revealed an uncharacteristic surprised expression. He had never expected to meet Emily here.

Emily Edward, daughter of the chairman of Edward Trade Association in the southern Munn Kingdom, Fiat.

The most unique and memorable thing about her was that she successfully became a merchant and yet, was determined to become a Travel Merchant instead. Back then when Rhode went to Fiat to eliminate the enemies, he disguised himself as Miranda and interacted with Emily for a period of time, which he eventually triggered the hidden mission. But for the sake of the bigger picture, he had to abandon the mission and it became the first ever mission that was marked with an 'Incomplete' in this world. If Rhode were a perfectionist, he would have felt uncomfortable every time he saw the grayed-out mission. But he didn't take it to heart and initially thought that that was the end to that matter. However, never did he expect to meet her again.
