If it was as Woohyo said, it would have been normal for him to leave this place and go out to do other business.

We can't rule out the possibility that he was holding back because he didn't want to waste the time he had wasted from the Academy to Harizel, but if he had really planned to escape, he wouldn't have said something like that.

'I guess he just disappeared without saying a word. huh.'

Those who have no intention of escaping tend to talk longer.

"71 years old? what? Grandpa?"

"... ... ."

"I didn't come here to watch you play house. In order to realize the grand plan you are talking about, it will be difficult even if you recruit players who are currently attracting attention on the continent. But what? It's none of my business, but if you're driven by feelings of sympathy or something similar, I'd like to tell you to get out of there. If you want to play grandpa and grandson, look elsewhere."

"no."

"what?"

"I didn't recruit Raymon Bolt out of sympathy or anything like that. He wasn't recruited because of a brief relationship. He just ticked all the boxes. It's not that there are any shortcomings, but it met the conditions I wanted."

"... ... ."

"... ... ."

"I know you are unusually skilled for a player who just graduated from the academy. You may not think he's needed, but there are few people who have experienced as much about this continent as Rayman Bolt. The wisdom of veterans who have survived for a long time on the Rohen Continent can never be ignored. Tanks that can attack from a distance are also rare. Moreover, he is a level 4 veteran warrior. Do you think you, a Level 3, are qualified to evaluate him?"

"... ... ."

"You won't have to worry about combat power issues. Although the stat decline is ongoing, it is not very noticeable, and since it is ranked at level 4, its basic combat power is high. I thought it would be better to bring in certain people rather than half-baked people. At least... At least Raymon Bolt's stats won't decline within three years."

'It's not something you grow and use. It's for short term use. Our party isn't going to last forever, so why are you worried? You weren't planning on staying for a long time, were you?'

"and... for calling him grandpa... sorry. I just thought of my grandfather who passed away... Without even knowing... ."

"... ... ."

"Because my parents weren't around... It was my grandfather who raised me."

The atmosphere is getting colder.

"... ... ."

"I couldn't distinguish between public and private matters."

"... ... ."

"... ... ."

"Hmph."

"... ... ."

"What I'm pointing out is not a matter of titles. It's a matter of atmosphere. What you call that old man is none of my business. It doesn't matter whether you think of your old man or not."

"... ... ."

"I'll say it again exactly. I didn't care about that part in the first place."

"I will never be swayed by emotions and make unreasonable decisions. Ball is ball and life is life."

"that word. You better remember."

"ah! And this is something I haven't mentioned yet... I'm thinking it might be a good idea to go on an expedition sometime soon."
