...The Bone of Fearlessness.
Annan lapsed into contemplation.
It must have been because he helped them purify the Sporogenesis Mill that his "favorability" had risen in one breath, reaching a level where he could be informed and involved in this matter.
If their relationship were that of merely passing acquaintances, Naifertali certainly wouldn't have spoken of such things.
If Annan had not kept his promise and spread the news instead, she would definitely have encountered trouble. Even her brother could become a target, and the prestige of her teacher, the Bone Healer, would be damaged as well.
It was precisely because the players had fully displayed their illustrious savior image in front of her and Niusel... that Annan could already count on a rather high base favorability before even appearing.
And the way Annan decisively resolved the nightmare of the Sporogenesis Mill proved his capability; his actions to vindicate Deword showcased his sense of morality.
