?Mistaken Identity.


    [Ace POV],


    One reason I didn''t want to see Sir Rnd was because he could continue our previous conversation and inquire about our identity.


    While I had considered one prior to the disappearance of the little girl, circumstances have changed now that I think I needed to create a better persona.


    It''s simr to when an investigator disguises himself as a delivery man to investigate a shop, but before arriving, he discovers that the shop has been robbed, and now the highly alerted boss of the shop has discovered him and requested him to reveal his identity.


    At this point, if he does not provide a better identity, his cover might be almost non-existent or his n may be foiled.


    My thoughts were somewhere along this line, and my situation is a little simr to this in that when I found out that the people here had misidentified our identities, I was about to use it to our advantage in the sense that we didn''t have to say our identities and whatever identity we had to the person talking to us was the identity he or she had in their head, but I don''t think that''s usible now that we''ve gotten really involved in this case.


    This might not have been a major concern if this ce was ''normal,'' but I discovered that, aside from Sir Rnd, no one else in this vige possessed supernatural powers.


    I didn''t even catch a glimpse of a human with level 5 physical capabilities.


    This led me to conclude that in this ce, where it appears that the primordial chronicle did not exist, Sir Rnd would be more wary of two people who could oppose him in power.


    I also found out about the strength of amon job from Sir Rnd since he was a swordsman and I can only say that the improvement brought by the job is nothingpared to the ice mage job of the females I encountered before but even then the job still brought some improvement since I could tell from what I''ve seen that Sir Rnd could take care of the rank 1 fire eagle I faced before with ease and this is an understatement considering I haven''t still seen him utilize any core skill.


    However, the job just could notpare to a rare grade one.


    As my thoughts began to trail as random thoughts, I heard Sir Rnd''s voice as he spoke, drawing me out of my thoughts.


    "I''m sorry for keeping young Sir and Miss waiting," Sir Rnd remarked as he greeted Emma and me. We both answered him, telling him it was no problem.


    Sir Rnd spoke a few seconds after this happened and he took his seat, as Emma and I concentrated on him.


    "Sir?" Sir Rnd attempted to know my name before conversing with me.


    Seeing this, I spoke up.


    "Ace," I simply stated.


    "I see," he remarked as he turned to Emma, who saw what he was doing and understood what he was expressing.


    "Emma," she said as she stopped speaking.


    "I see. So, Sir Ace and Miss Emma ", he added, and Emma and I both nodded, wondering what Sir Rnd would say next when I saw him open his mouth.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You people shouldn''t have hidden your identity," Sir Rnd stated as I sat there silently wondering if he had discovered we weren''t people from a great background and were simply posers and if he was going to act on us, but his nextments were unexpected.


    "I know people from the church normally have their characteristics, but this one of wishing to remain hidden is a new one, Haha," Sir Rnd added, ending his words with a quickugh, leaving Emma and me speechless.


    Unlike Emma, who knew nothing about the church, I''ve at least heard the name since Sir Rnd uttered it to me when he told me he''d requested help from the church, but the question is, how did we get mistaken for the church members?


    As I reflected on this, I turned to Sir Rnd and remarked after taking another sip of tea from the cup in my hand.


    "We never hid our identity from you since we haven''t had the opportunity to speak of it since we came here," I continued, lying and taking advantage of whatever identity was in Sir Rnd''s head without batting an eysh, while Emma almost spewed the tea in her mouth when she heard me.


    Sir Rnd, thankfully, assumed it was because she couldn''t shallow well.


    Sir Rnd spoke again after that.


    "It was only when I saw the church''s signature light element when Miss Emma acted that I realized you were from the church and to think I was telling you about the church hehe," Sir Rndughed as I was able to uncover what caused the mistaken identity.


    It seems that the majority of the individuals in this ''church'' appear to be light elemental users, and the tone Sir Rnd uses when addressing their name must imply that they have a certain reputation to make a rank 1 human reverent.


    It would mean a lot if this church had rank 2 humans.


    And there''s also the part that things would be problematic if the church finds posers imitating to be people of the church since I don''t think everything would finish with an "it was because I was on a quest".


    This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder if we''re in a dungeon at times since this location appears to be a world unto itself.


    But it doesn''t really matter because we''re leaving soon.


    As I was thinking about this, I turned to Sir Rnd and asked him a question to see if we might finish our quest faster.


    Well, it''s not like it''s not alreadypleted.
