The moment the eyes locked on me, I froze for a moment, my body shuddering. But it was only for a brief moment as I quickly snapped out of it.
"Ah, pardon for my sudden intrusion."
While trying to be as polite as possible, I took out my Guild badge and showed it to the old woman as she clung to the side of the wooden door.
"....I come from a relatively well-known Guild, and I'm here to investigate a certain matter regarding a recent anomaly that we've caught. I've been told to come here when I asked around. I hope that I didn't disturb you."
I smiled right after I was done speaking, making sure to make it look as friendly as possible.
'This isn't too bad, right?'
I felt like I had been extremely polite with my words. Enough to give a good lasting impression.
However—
Clank!
My smile froze as the door slammed shut right before my eyes.
Wha...
"G-go disturb someone else. I have no time for you people."
