286 Before the Fight 

"Ren! Leonel!"

Hearing someone call out to them, Ren and the others looked over their shoulders and found Isolde running in their direction.

Leonel visibly straightened his back and stuttered, "I-Isolde."

Evie stared at Isolde and marveled at her height. Because she was small, she couldn't help but stare at the other party with envy.

With Isolde's figure, she looked like a magazine model, and when she stood next to Leonel, Evie couldn't help but think they looked good together.

Feeling like she was surrounded by three giants, Evie took a step back. She felt so small around them.

Ren scanned Isolde from head to toe and found that she still had the same equipment as before. Seeing Guns and Knives equipped with upgraded armor, he wondered if she was really their core member.

"Why are you still wearing the same equipment?" asked Ren, straight to the point. By this time, they should have upgraded their armor –– decent ones that weren't bought in any cheap smithy store.
