An Extra’s POV

"W-what did you just say?"

Sango's face seemed to depict a fair bit of shock as soon as he heard the response of the stranger in black. His brows were raised in genuine surprise.

"You heard me well enough. Step back if you know what is good for you."

More surprise filled Sango's face.

"Do you… not know who I am? Who we are?"

"How would we know that? We just got here." The response from the hatted man made Sango nearly frown.

Surely, his name was known even beyond the confines of the City. Any aspiring Adventurer would know the name of one of the strongest Adventurers in the City, as well as the top Party in all of the City.

Yet, none of that recognition seemed to be coming from the fellow before him.

The girl beside him also said nothing. She just stood there like a statue, almost as if she wasn't witnessing anything that was happening.

'Do they both not recognize me? Are they messing with me, or…?' Sango's thoughts trailed.

The cackles of his subordinates brought him back to reality, though, as they started making fun of him.

"Seems like your popularity has plummeted, Sango!"

"Being Rank 7 is apparently not enough for the newcomers to recognize you!"

"Pfft! You're not gonna let it slide, are you?"

At this point, Sango couldn't help his frown. He raised his voice at the drunks that he called subordinates.

"Would you stop already? You guys are already drunk!"

He was only met with more ridicule.

"We're drunk? Look who's talking, pfft!"

"Maybe we're all sober and you're the one that's drunk!"

"Hahahaaha!"

At this point, Sango slapped his hand on his face and stood upright, removing his face so close to the gentleman who stood before him.

"These guys are bumming me out…" He sighed.

Despite having lots to drink, Sango wasn't drunk in the slightest. He had his Barbarian genes to thank for that fact. Unfortunately, the embarrassments caused by his comrades was enough to wish that he wasn't sober.
