Viretta had no intention of explaining to Sepia or Ranken, who were completely in the dark about the situation, so it must have sounded odd to them. However, Viretta herself felt a bit flustered.

She exchanged a silent look with Iola.

Viretta shot him a sharp look that seemed to say, "I know Minelle is a man, but I didn't say anything."

Iola, understanding everything, nodded slightly, his eyes acknowledging the message.

It might not have meant exactly that, but at least it didn’t seem like he was blaming Viretta.

In fact, Viretta had never given Dylan any hint.

Dylan had been with her when they did the background check on Minelle, but that was all.

The reason she hadn't spoken about it up to this point was simply because she couldn't decide whether it was advantageous to reveal it.

First, if she spoke out too carelessly, there was a chance of retaliation, not just on her, but also on Iola’s family in Saha.

Second, it seemed like Iola really wanted to protect Minelle.

She didn’t know about the current Minelle, but the real Minelle, who had attended the Math Academy with Iola, was probably a dear friend to him.

Minelle had been attacked by an assailant and had left a final message urging Iola not to come.@@novelbin@@

She was a friend who had influenced Iola’s outlook on life.

It was clear that Minelle meant a lot to him.

‘Even though she’s a woman.’
