The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Jouri realized what Frank was getting at and smiled. "Since you love role-playing so much, I guess I'd just have to join you."

Frank snorted.

Still, his hunch was right from the start-Jouri was very high on the pecking order and was considerably different from everyone else.

As for the geezer, while he spoke with a casual demeanor, Frank had the feeling he had access to something that set him apart from the rest.

Nonetheless, the geezer said just then, "Mr. Lawrence, you've done well with Mystic Sky Guild, and the so-called Martial Alliance is really unnecessary in comparison. You have my vote if the day comes for you to leave Shagan!"

Frank simply smiled. "How should I address you, sir?"

The geezer chuckled. "Feeling a little too respectful, are we? Anyway, while I'm not one for secrets, I can't reveal my identity to anyone-not even you. So just use my codename: Five. That's what everyone calls me anyway!

"But if you don't like it, you can call me old-timer, geezer, codger... anything's fine, really!"

As Frank smiled in wry amusement, Five took out a document and put it on the table.
