Around the time when I had finished telling the second part, the 『The Journey of 3 Black-listed People Through the Demon Continent - Empathy Arc』, I suddenly stopped talking.
Paul had become sullen.
His face had distorted into an irritated expression, and he was tapping his finger on the table.
I might have upset him somehow.
Without understanding, I was about to continue my story.
"After that, we headed to the Great Forest."
"That's enough."
In an irritated voice, Paul cut me off.
"That you spent the last year gallivanting about, I understand quite well now."
I became just a little irritated at Paul's words.
"I had quite a tough time as well you know."
"Just what was tough about it?"
"Eh?"
When he had asked that in return, I let out a strange voice.
"From your tone, I didn't feel like you had even an ounce of hardship."
That's because I told it like that.
Though, certainly I may have gotten a bit carried away.
