"It's me. No need to be nervous."
A voice came from nearby, cold and detached.
It was Bertha!
This restroom had wooden partitions separating the stalls, with plenty of space between the thick planks, and a whole row of stalls lined up.
Bertha was in the stall right next to Basil Jaak.
"Wow, I mean, seriously? You're even following me to pee? Your taste is too heavy for this. And this is the men's bathroom…"
Basil Jaak, who had completely lost his urge to pee now, teased.
"You're being closely monitored by both the Bright Faction and the Martial King Faction. I have no other way to meet you but this."
In the adjacent stall, Bertha deliberately used a different voice to talk to Basil Jaak, trying to prevent anyone from recognizing her distinct tone.
Both of them simultaneously extended their Mental Power outward. Since it was already past midnight, there wasn't a single person around the restroom.
