He could tell that the blue-haired man was walking toward him. It was because the blue-haired man continued to stare at him.

The blue-haired man welcomed Cale with open arms as the two of them stood in front of each other.

�Friend!�

�What?�

Cale hugged the man back in shock. The blue-haired man, the Mercenary King Bud Illis, started to speak in a happy voice.

�Nice to meet you!�

��Hmm, I don�t know what is going on, but was I already friends with this guy?�

Cale could see the Mercenary King�s face quickly turn into a scowl once they stopped hugging.

�Hmm?�

�Now what?�

The Mercenary King fumbled around a bit before pulling out a pair of glasses as Cale stood in shock. He then put on the glasses before starting to speak again.

He was still speaking in a cheerful voice.

�Oh, you�re not my friend.�

��This bastard���

Cale felt himself starting to get annoyed for some reason. However, Mercenary King Bud Illis smiled brightly as he continued to speak.

�But I can smell it.�

�Smell? Smell what?�

Cale, who was acting like a good person to develop as good of a relationship as possible with Bud Illis, couldn�t help but start to frown.

�Toonka, the former bandit leader of Mount Leeb, all of them said the same thing. Why do they all say that they can smell something? Do I smell like a strong person or something?�

The Mercenary King continued to speak to Cale who was getting annoyed.

�You smell like an alcoholic!�

��Ho.�

The man who reeked of alcohol but seemed fine didn�t care about Cale�s reaction as he continued to speak in a refreshing manner.
