"There's something about you having blonde hair that cannot be described."
Khun returned his gaze to the woman, who was staring at him with a nonchalant expression on her face. Those green eyes are particularly focused on the dyed blue hair of his that has now become blonde. He can't blame her for that, considering how the color blue is the signature that his family wields. So, seeing him in another color might have been a weird sight.
"Don't you have anything else better to do other than complain?" The heir, who was sitting in the chair across from her, looked like she was pondering his question. It didn't take particularly long for her to shrug, laying her head on top of her arm and returning her gaze back to him.
In return, Khun clicked his tongue in annoyance, picked up the mask on top of his bed, and placed it by his face. "You should try and pick up a disguise that is suitable for yourself," he suggested. Although it is a pity that the girl barely thinks about why she must disguise herself in this workshop battle, it looks like he needs to point out the important things about all of this.
"Have you forgotten the FUG is participating?" That information crossed her mind like a train wreck, forming her lips into an "o" shape and making her blink profusely at the thought of it.
'...She planned on going out as Ephialtès, didn't she?'
He has no concept of how narrow-minded she was to believe it was a good idea. If she had realized that the others were personally after her for being the infamous god-slayer Ephialtès, she would have tried to terminate her life right then and there. And the FUG wouldn't let her go if they saw her in all her splendor, with the proudest sneer she can summon for defying their instructions.
That wasn't a horrible concept in theory, but it may be the worst idea that someone as brilliant as her could possibly conceive of. He didn't want to worry about the outcome of her and her team's conversation. During this voyage, he could have been convinced that his life span was shrinking by the second if he had done anything dumb and irresponsible.
