There are a few things I've learned while being here. In the end, the Red Lotus is also a place where people live. I don't know what the Upper World is like, but...
"Was it Haryu?"
"?"
It was the seventh mission. Damyu only had 500 World-Sealing Pills in total, so when I went to find the warehouse guy who was said to carry thousands, he suddenly started talking to me.
Until now, the other warehouse members would just hand over the World-Sealing Pills without a word and leave as long as I showed them proof of completing the mission (the first proof was Lemyn's head), so this was a first. Glancing back, I saw Damyu swallowing nervously and backing away. The meeting place was a plain.
Even when I used my Tide Sense, there was no one around for an ambush. I was confident, so I entertained the conversation.
"I tried naming you according to your group's way. Is there a problem?"
"No. It's not my place to say anything."
The man, who looked like a wrinkled old man in his seventies, stared at me intently before suddenly saying something strange.
"How many do you take a day?"
"...?"
"The World-Sealing Pills, I mean. Seeing as you're repeating these life-threatening missions, you must need quite a lot."
What is he talking about?
"I don't take any."
"Hmm, it seems you don't wish to speak of it."
