Chapter 168: Painfully Aware

After sleeping in a nearby tree I found, I woke up to the sound of shouting all around me.

"BRING US GIDLEY HAWTHORNE!!!"

Confused as to why they were shouting my name, I jumped off the tree and began to shout at them.

<SHUT UP!!!>

<PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!!>

This immediately caught some people's attention but you know...

"GO SLEEP SOMEWHERE ELSE HOMELESS PERSON!!!"

What!?

I'm not homeless!

This tree...

Uhhh...

It's just really comfortable to sleep in!

Raising my voice once more, I was about to shout.

"Shhhh!!!"

My mouth was covered by someone.

"Are you trying to expose yourself?

Expose myself?

How?

Turning around, I see a man covered in a cloak.

Definitely not suspicious at all...

<You have to work on your disguises...>

Bowing his body, I could see steam coming off from his head.

Hehe...

Must be flustered.

"T-this..."

"..."

"I mean..."

"What do you know about it?"

That's right!

What do I know about disguises?

Aside from the fact that I snuck into an Inkei's private guardsmen and didn't get caught till the end.

<Anyway...>

<Show me your face.>
