"What do you know about him?"

"I know a lot about his malice! In exchange for making a deal with him, I asked how he came to harbor such malice."

Then had he not paid quite a large price?

Yet he was telling me that story without demanding anything in return. It felt like I had gained something.

No, even if being kidnapped counted as the price, was it not still a gain?

Gunggi did not know the clear identity of the one behind the scenes, but he did know through what circumstances that being had come to harbor malice.

'Now that I think about it, Gunggi went to the trouble of capturing me, yet he has not really dug much into me. Even when dealing with the one behind the scenes, he must have been more interested in the malice than in the existence itself. Still, he managed to find out quite a lot.'
