"That's an interesting joke."

Ganien took the steak unpeeled fork into his mouth.

"You're right. It's a very, very funny joke."

Cassion smiled and inserted a knife into the chicken leg.

Even I want to applaud him for his neat workmanship.

"I'm not kidding."

When the two denied it more than expected, Ruel became more serious.

"I'm going to be a real adventurer."

"Are you crazy...?"

His heart probably hurt, Cassion said with a sharp edge.

"Listen till the end."

Ruel wiped my mouth and inhaled Breath.

"I need a fake identity to get around comfortably outside. For that reason, the status of an adventurer is pretty good."

"Where and how long are you trying to get around?"

"Cassion, when my name is mentioned, what kind of modifier is usually attached to it?"

"There's a disease-related modifier."

Ruel flicked his finger lightly into the glass.

"Setiria isn't ready yet. I'm going to do something different, and I'll get attention every time... I'll be swept away, for sure."

"Are you saying you need a fake identity to go unnoticed?"

"No, you have to say that it was me when Setiria stood up. Why would you waste that opportunity?"

"Are you going to lead a double life?"

Ganien looked at Ruel with interested eyes.

Ruel raised the corners of his mouth.

"Right, a double life."

Cassion's sigh was followed by Ruel's answer.

Ganien sat deep in his chair, folded his arms, and said. "Isn't that bad? Clearly, as you said, Ruel, there's no way Setiria deserves the attention. It's time to solidify it."

"As expected, my best friend."

"That's it, and how crazy are you thinking of needing a fake identity?"

"I don't know."

Ruel really didn't know either. He was just being prepared because he didn't know.

Don't be swept away until Setiria hardens.

"Ruel-nim, I'm asking you just in case. Do the adventurer titles include me and Ganien?"

"Of course, I can't even fight. Let's get on your back."

Cassion was speechless because he spoke so confidently.

Then, Ganien tapped the table.

"Okay, I think it's going to be fun, so I'll cooperate."

I was thinking he'd be happy to allow it. Isn't there a lot of fighting because of his job as an adventurer?

Being able to get out of the mold of being a knight would be pretty liberating.

Ruel smiled and looked at Cassion.

"The majority have agreed, so you'll have to follow, right?"

"An adventurer is certainly free. But do you know that you need the right identity to be an adventurer?"
