July 9th, at dusk, inside a private bar called "Inca Dream."
The low and warm sounds of jazz enveloped the ears of every patron.
The interior of the bar was classically and meticulously decorated, with dim lights cascading from the chandeliers onto the wooden bar and leather seats. The walls were adorned with black and white photos full of a sense of the past.
"How strange... the bug inside Che Zhengchen's body is gone, why?"
The red-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair murmured to herself, her head hung low, gently tapping the floor with her cane, producing a thumping sound.
Next to her, a man who could be described as a giant—standing over two meters tall, with black hair and eyes, a muscular build with sinewy muscles—sat at the bar, wiping a huge sword with a cloth, and calmly asked, "How could this be?"
Gastella turned her face toward him, let go of her cane and, resting her chin in her hand, said, "I don't know, who knows what the Dice Monster is up to?"
