Then everyone noticed Hazuki suddenly stop talking mid-yell, his posture shifting into an odd half-bow. His hair shadowed his face, and a low, mischievous laugh slipped from his mouth.
"Kukuku~"
The dwarves around him immediately sighed, already used to this kind of scene.
"Gyahahaha! Now you can't do anything, Hazuki!!! Nothing!!"
The crowd chuckled.
"Look at that lad."
"He's at it again."
"As usual, huh."
"Yep… the usual human with his crazy act."
"Just ignore him."
Laughter and amused murmurs filled the street.
Ellyn let out a long sigh, crossing her arms. She already knew what was going on. That eerie laughter didn't belong to Hazuki. It was Ridan taking over again.
But Faria and her knights were confused. They glanced at each other, unsure whether they should draw their weapons or call for help.
"Miss Faria…" one knight whispered nervously. "Is he…?"
