Dungeon [4]

The bald man took a step back and stared at Angelica. Heavy solemness tinged his face. 

"...On the same side?"

He asked in an uncertain tone. 

"That's correct." 

I nodded my head and spoke right away.

On the inside, I was trying to sort out my thoughts, but what I showed on the outside was an impassive face that held slight traces of contempt. 

"We're on the same side. Let us go unless you want us to resort to force. You've clearly already felt our strength. The three of you are not our match." 

This part may have been true. 

But that was not what worried me. What worried me was the possible problems that the trio before me could pose. 

They may be weaker than the demons, but they were all about the same rank as me. They were no easy opponents. 

The bald man glanced back and forth between Angelica and me.

"Honestly, it's hard to believe the fact that you two are on our side."

"How so?"
