Chapter 702: Abyssal Mammoth [2]

'We've got her full attention...'

From afar, I was being viciously glared at by a certain someone. Or at least, that was how it felt as I turned my head away from the duchess and inwardly cursed to myself.

'I knew it...'

Considering what the others were doing, it was inevitable that it would happen, but... why is she staring at me?

What did I even do to prompt her attention?

I didn't even act once.

I didn't do anything special; I just sat still and watched the others go about their business. There was nothing I did that would make her pay attention to me instead of the other things going on around us.

'Is it perhaps my charm?'

...Hm, that did sound rather probable, but it had to be noted that I was currently wearing a hood, making this possibility invalid for the time being.

'Well, whatever.'

I shrugged my shoulders.
