"Oh... It seems like you guys are doing something interesting, can I join you?"

"Foreigners just butting in for the fun, go away."

The man impatiently shook his hand.

"Huh? That's not right of you, what's wrong with foreigners? Can't foreigners join? Are you discriminating against foreigners?"

Ryuto grabbed the man's sleeve and started to argue with him.

At that moment, another man with glasses naturally walked over.

"What's going on? What's happening?"

Looking puzzled, he asked his companion.

"It's nothing, just a foreigner causing trouble."

"Sir, the way you said that isn't right, how am I causing trouble?"

Seeing the two men arguing, the man with glasses first tried to stop his friend, then asked Ryuto.

"Sir, do you have any business with my friend? I don't think there's any grudge between you and my friend."

His tone was very unfriendly.

"Grudge? How could there be? I just arrived here today and it's my first time meeting your friend, how could there be any grudge? Besides, my motto is 'All men are brothers within the four seas,' I don't easily make enemies with people."

The man with glasses was puzzled.

"Since you have no grievances with my friend, why are you looking for him?"

"Nothing at all, I just happened to pass by and saw you guys seemed to be doing something interesting, so I wanted to join you."

"Oh...?"

The man looked at his companion in astonishment.

After getting the accurate answer from his companion and confirming that this was indeed the case, the man with glasses turned his attention back.

"Sir, you want to join us?"

"Yes, because I find your way of playing very interesting."

Saying that, Ryuto pointed to the stone the man had just picked up.

"Interesting?"

"Yes, oh my, I didn't expect there to be such an interesting way to play, today has truly been eye-opening, indeed, traveling can broaden one's horizons, that saying is absolutely true."

"But sir, we are strangers, there's no reason for me to let you join us, besides, we found this first."

Whether out of disbelief in Ryuto's words or not wanting his toy to be taken away, the man with glasses firmly refused Ryuto's kind offer.

"Don't be so stingy, to keep such an interesting thing to yourself, that's too selfish, shouldn't good things be shared by everyone?"

"That's true, but as I said before, you and I are not friends, so there is simply no need to agree to your request."

Although he was still rejected, the man with glasses remained courteous throughout, at least he did not resort to foul language.

Hmm... Seems like he's had a good education? Quite civilized, a true gentleman!

Well, a barbarian like Ryuto just couldn't understand, after all, they are not from the same world.

"Don't be so heartless, let's be friends! Even though we are not friends now, everything starts from nothing, so it's never too late, and I do like making new friends, friends are indeed valuable resources."

Although the way he referred to friends as resources wasn't ideal, many people still believe in this concept, albeit without realizing that they are also viewed as resources by others, making them... not even considered as anything valuable.

"Even so..."

Faced with Ryuto's kind words, the man with glasses still declined, but before that, he halted because of something in Ryuto's hand.

"This is..."

Just muttered in astonishment.
