Kane leaned forward, caressing his ribs as he laughed his heart out.

"Very funny, Kane," Rui sighed with an amused smile as he let Kane engage in his typical teenage and juvenile humor. "I'm surprised I got an epithet at all. Seems that the gossip community for the dungeon and its adventurers has grown a lot over time."

"Well, of course," Kane shrugged. "I think you forget that we are naturally celebrities in this world, Rui."

"…Perhaps," Rui remarked. He didn't particularly care about that, never had, and never would.
