“Daisy Ectradion?”

“Yes, Loretta. Do you know who that is?”

The next day, Loretta acted completely nonchalant, so I decided to give up asking her about what happened with Desert Scorpion. Instead, I asked the other question I had. If Desert Scorpion’s guild master told me not to get involved with this person, I figured that Loretta knew about her as well. As soon as she heard that name, she took out her ax and smiled.

“So, who’s that woman, Shin-nim?”

I exclaimed, feeling wronged, “I’m the one who asked! Also, aren’t you taking that ax out way too often lately!?”

“But you’re the bad one for asking about other women even while knowing how I feel,” she retorted.

“You’re the bad one for taking this way out of context! Didn’t I explain myself!?”

“Then, I’ll stop joking and…”

I huffed. “You were really joking, right? You won’t use that ax, right!?”

“…Huhu.”

Loretta simply answered with a bright smile. That meant she wasn’t joking, right..?

“Sorry, Shin-nim. I can’t tell you even if I want to. But I think you already have somewhat of an idea who she is.”

I smiled ruefully. “I do…yeah…”

I didn’t know exactly who Daisy Ectradion was. However, the only thing that guild master knew about me was that I had a god’s true name and that I was Beyond’s explorer. In other words, this Daisy Ectradion was likely to be Beyond’s second explorer, the strange woman who offered to take my corpse.

That concerned me. Similar to the first explorer, she didn’t want to leave her mansion. Why wasn’t she exploring the dungeon?...
