Would it be worse to be antagonized or being taken advantage of?

  Huh?

Huuhh??

What the hell was this situation? I didn't even know this old demon would come to the site, but even then, why did the one who had been actively ignoring my presence suddenly here?

And not just here; the Elder casually took a seat across from me. I could only watch as he clutched the backrest with one hand and his cane with the other.

[Master, why rude Grandpa here?]

Right? I had no idea too, my child! Could someone please explain this situation to me?!

As he took a seat and looked at me with an impassive but observing gaze, I roused up my vigilance. But I didn't want to look so obviously guarded, so I still tried to relax my facial muscle as much as I could. 

"Good evening," the old demon said after he settled on his seat, cane placed between his legs as he looked at me.

"...Good evening."
