Tsukuyomi and Setsuna also had their appearances subtly adjusted, and their demi-human physical characteristics were hidden, disguising them as humans.

Although Freya did not relay their information to the Kingdom of Geolar, there was no guarantee that the Kingdom of Geolar wouldn't discover their existence from the slave traders while gathering intelligence in Lanarita. Disguising themselves as humans was undoubtedly the best choice, not only avoiding trouble but also preventing discrimination and melodramatic scenarios like "I've taken a fancy to your slave, I'll pay you to lend her to me." in human towns.

Night fell quietly before they knew it. Freya, Eve, Tsukuyomi, and Setsuna worked together to set up new tents at the camp. After all, there were now six people in total, and one tent wasn't enough to sleep in. Also, they had to avoid Eve if they wanted to increase their level cap at night.

After a few leaps, Chen Hao and Kreeher arrived at the cliff above the waterfall at the bottom of the flat. The view was open and spacious, and it was some distance from the camp. With the sound of the waterfall masking their conversation, they didn't have to worry about them eavesdropping. It was a good place for a private meeting.

"Chen Hao, are you now... planning to completely abandon the identity of Kyal?"

Kreeher spoke first, staring into Chen Hao's eyes with a very complicated expression.

"Well... after all, this identity is not safe now. The Kingdom of Geolar will not let this go and will definitely try to find the missing Freya and me."

Chen Hao gazed at the forest under the night sky and said calmly.

"...Actually, this is just an excuse...You weren't Kyal to begin with, were you?"

After a brief silence, Krech spoke again, uttering something astonishing.

"...Why would you say that?"

Chen Hao calmly retorted with his question to Kreeher, but in reality, his mind was in turmoil. His biggest secret... had been seen through.

"Because I was deceived by the Kingdom of Geolar once, I learned a lesson and understood a principle: if you want to trust someone, you must first doubt him."

"Actually, at first, I also suspected that you were deliberately approaching me in order to get my help. But after spending time together, I dispelled that suspicion because I knew that your love for me was genuine and that you had no intention of using me."

Kreeher looked up at the bright moon, a faint smile on her lips.

"Then why do you now doubt that I am not Kyal?"

Chen Hao looked at Kreeher with a puzzled expression.

"Because you've revealed too many flaws, and most importantly..."

Kreeher smiled at him, and then added with certainty:

"You are a good person."

"You once showed me Kyal's memories before the world was restarted, so I know very well how much a person's heart can be ravaged and twisted after experiencing these things..."

"If it were the original Kaiyar who restarted the world, even if he were still a good person, he would still be somewhat psychologically twisted and perverted. At the same time, he would not be able to escape the common sense of this world. Because he was tricked by Freya, he would definitely become suspicious by nature. In order to ensure loyalty, he would not hesitate to use slave contracts on demi-humans, and he would not let Freya's subordinates live. Rather than controlling them, disguising them, and letting them go into seclusion, and even giving them a lot of money to settle down, it is more likely that Kaiyar who restarted the world would do such a thing."

“You are different from him. Your views have not been distorted. On the contrary, you are kinder than most people in this world. You cannot stand the demi-human slave system that most people in this world are used to. Not only did you not make Tsukuyomi and Setsuna sign slave contracts and treat them as equals, but you also trusted them just because of a verbal agreement. You are naively cute.”

"So you are definitely not the Kyal who restarted the world and is used to its dark side. Compared to him, you are more like a good person who is out of place in this dog-eat-dog world."

Kreeher's deduction made Chen Hao smile helplessly. Had he now been given the "friend zone" card?

Chen Hao touched his nose, then said, almost jokingly:

"It does seem to make some sense, but all this is just Kreeher's wishful thinking. Without substantial evidence, I won't admit it."

Chen Hao's identity as a time traveler is his biggest secret, and if he could, he would like to keep it a secret for the rest of his life. However, it seems that he can no longer hide it from Kreeher.

"Of course I have evidence. First, there's Nen ability. I've trained in it myself, so I know exactly what it is. It's not some secret technique that exists in this world. It's more like a power system from another world. Unlike this world, where you need to kill other lives to gain experience and level up, Nen ability can make you stronger just by training. The two can also be combined. If it were a secret technique that truly existed in this world, someone would have made a name for themselves with it long ago, wouldn't they?"

"Then there's your name, Chen Hao. Such a name simply doesn't exist in this world. No human kingdom, demi-human race, demon race, dwarf, or even elf has this naming custom. Even if it's just made up on the spot, there should at least be some logic to it. Chen Hao, a name different from this world... plus power different from this world..."

"Actually, you're from another world, right? Chen Hao is your real name in your original world, and your current appearance was created based on your appearance in that world, wasn't it?"
