"By the way, Kane told me that the two of you are planning on an outing to the Shionel Dungeon, though he also told me to keep it a secret," She told him. "I must admit that I'm rather frustrated at my inability to partake. Even if I finished my Squire habilitation at this very moment, I would be far too weak to even consider participating in the Shionel Dungeon exploration and plunder raid. Quite unfortunate, really."

Rui raised an eyebrow. He didn't know Kane was close enough to her that he would confide that in her. It seems that their relationship was going better than he had expected.

The two had always bickered back when they were all in the academy. Yet despite that, Rui felt that they always had an affinity for each other.

"He told you that, did he?" Rui smirked. "Heh."

"My, what is that supposed to mean?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Not much… I guess he must really trust you," Rui smiled. "The two of you must have a close relationship."
