He decided to first watch the others speak to avoid saying something wrong and exposing his status as a newcomer. At the same time, he could think over the current situation a bit.
As a result, he saw the rune marked with the number "1" on The Machine in front of him suddenly light up, and a voice, obviously modified, rang out beside him:
"I'm number one, a commoner, pass."
Huh?
Goose Delight was momentarily startled.
Why would anyone claim to be a commoner?
