The Prince of the Seimei Family

"You are... Guren!"

I shouted the name of the man in front of me. He should be Guren, the first opponent that I faced during the newbie tamer's tournament.

After he left the lodgings back then, I never heard from him again. Well, it should have been about a month ago at most, so not much time has passed.

"Yes, I am. And hello again, Will. It looks like you got a bit too strong in a short time."

Guren smiled as he scanned the faces of the three girls standing behind me. His stare then landed on Igni, who had a slightly uncomfortable expression on her face.

"Igni... I've heard about the circumstances from your father already. Don't worry, I'm not angry about it or anything."

Guren smiled, but a trace of sadness could be seen in his expression. From his words, I could guess that it was he who was to get contracted with Igni originally.

"Guren, although I didn't know about their promise to you, it's basically my fault. Sorry."
