"After all, you will become a part of us."
The moment the man said that everyone froze in their wooden seats.
It was true that his tone was gentle and polite, but for some reason, those words felt wrong in a certain way... or inhuman.
Especially Leona, who frowned slightly.
Unlike her, Elliot maintained his smile as he replied,
"Sorry, but we won't be staying here long. We need to return to our home."
The man smiled kindly, but even that smile seemed devoid of life.
"Why do you need to return home when you can live peacefully here for hundreds of years?"
His deep voice echoed in their ears, while both Kyle and Izel couldn't understand what was being said, so they refrained from joining the conversation and simply followed the others the entire time, only to now find themselves sitting here among these people.
