". . ." Ren didn't comment at first, thinking about Isolde's offer.

She had changed. If before she couldn't look at him straight in the eyes and somehow stuttered while talking to him . . . Now she was more confident and able to meet his gaze.

Ren ponders why but found no answer.

Anyway, having Isolde wander in this realm alone wouldn't sit well with him. And if she herself offered help with just EXP in return, that would be more than enough.

"Alright," Ren agreed and asked Isolde to join his group.

"Egh? Are you sure?" Isolde knew the reason why Ren didn't want to form a group in the first place. And she totally understood. That's why she didn't care about items and gil. She really just wanted the EXP and to have the chance to explore the Fey Realm some more.

"It's easier to retrieve the gil and items later," Ren simply said. It was true because a [Group Inventory] would be formed. He didn't care about EXP anyway since he got little of it because of his high stat.
