"————"
In the unspeakable silence, a subtle change occurred in the atmosphere on the scene.
The change wasn't significant, but Alberon, being in the midst of this atmosphere, knew it was by no means a good sign.
"...What do you mean by that?"
Altoria turned around, looking at Alberon. The emotion that surfaced in her eyes was quite clear.
It was displeasure.
It was irritation.
While it wasn't to the point of anger, Alberon knew that Altoria had caught on to what he intended to say.
She knew that what Alberon was about to say, was definitely not something she would want to hear.
And indeed, it was so.
"Though you may not want to hear this, and might even think I'm deliberately causing trouble, I would prefer not to say these words just as I've joined the group, making you suspect that I have ulterior motives. But regrettably, the chance to discuss this matter in the absence of that person may only come this once."
