55 3-14: Silver Mask Part II

"I am called 'Silver Mask', but you can refer to me as 'Silver'."

Silver Mask? Haruki didn't recognize such a name from the game and there wasn't enough time to gain much information from the captured Ampere and Kelly. But that didn't stop him from imagining the other man's appearance.

"Are you called that because you wear a silver mask?"

"Precisely so," replied Silver in a rather patient tone, choosing to be deaf to the sarcasm in Haruki's question. "I am sure Mr. Leader knows how the Explorer's Guild bestows titles to their members, right?"

Haruki hadn't the faintest idea about what Silver was talking about, as the Explorer's Guild in the game simply existed as an avenue for exploration-related sub-quests. It was so insignificant a thing that he didn't even bother remembering the names of its more prominent members.
