"Had once been?"
So that means Naiko isn't a security guard or anything like that now?
"You... How did you escape from 'that kind'?"
Jiang Xiao asked, aware that Naiko's past was anything but ordinary and that her appearance surely concealed deeper secrets.
Naiko smiled slightly, a hint of mystery in her expression.
"This story is a long one, but now's not the time to tell it. Jiang Xiao, what you need to do is find a way out, and as for me, haha, if you ask me nicely, maybe I'll help you."
Jiang Xiao: ???
I'm known as Qingshan who never seeks help from anyone, and now you're telling me to ask you for help?
At that moment, Jiang Xiao realized.
The Naiko before him was no longer the chosen one in need of protection, but rather a player in this strange world.
"Are you kidding me? Can't you give me a couple of hints at least? I mean, we're both from the same world, after all."
