— Come on, how could I possibly offend you! — Daniel caught the hint, and he would have preferred to be alone with Shino right now, rather than entertain the old, senile man.

— Where are you going? — Gungnir frowned. — The head doctor of the clinic is with us today, and the day has just begun. You both still have 11 opponents waiting.

“Damn!” Daniel cursed inwardly, while trying to hide his displeasure that he hadn't managed to wriggle out of these dubious entertainments. He really didn't want to spend the whole day sweating and toiling to satisfy the baron's whim. It would be better, in that case, to toil over Shino...
— I'm sorry, but I don't see anyone rushing to help the injured girl," Daniel noted. "I'm not against continuing to participate in friendly duels, but only after I'm sure that Shino will be okay. After all, I am involved in the harm done to her..."
The young man put maximum feeling of guilt into the last words, so that everyone could see that he was genuinely worried about Shino. However, he was really worried. But not so much about the girl, but about the need to fight further.
