An Extra’s POV

"Don't you find it funny that they're complaining about the room?"

As Eric and Adonis made it down the stairs, the boy in glasses brought up the topic while smiling playfully.

"I wonder how they would react when we finally begin the Conquest and they have to spend a week in the Dungeon." He added, chuckling.

There were no comfy beds or proper furniture in a Dungeon.

No bathrooms either.

"They'll probably have to sleep very close to their Party Members—total strangers. If they're reacting like this to a joint room with people they know… it's hilarious to think about what will happen eventually."

Eric was trying to break the awkward silence between him and Adonis. They had spoken a few times in the past, so he knew Adonis was a cool dude, but something felt off about him this night.

It almost felt like he wasn't really himself.

"You really know your stuff, huh?" Thankfully, Adonis responded back, smiling as warmly as he always did.

Eric laughed a bit nervously as he used his finger to itch a side of his face.

"Yeah. I might have read a few books and played a few games related to fantasy."

"Haha! Is that so? Well… you can't blame our friends for acting this way." Adonis smiled at Eric.

Despite saying that, Adonis' curled-up lips grew broader and he winked at Eric. "Though it will be funny to see their reaction, wouldn't it?"

"Right?"

Both boys laughed as they kept their eyes out for the group of Adventurers that were discussing with one another previously.

Thankfully, the were found without much effort.
