because of scenes later in the novel, I think it’s safe to say that MC genuinely does not notice how sus he sounds lmaoooo
Spoiler
ML strongly suspects at this time that MC is J but just won’t say anything about it until he feels that he has conclusive evidence. I will be honest, I think MC just genuinely does not realize how sus he sounds you’ll see it later with stuff like the Hunter exam and the auction scene that MC is just really really bad as hiding stuff (for good reason) Someone on the novel translation page put it best that he’s the strongest tool in the shed, but not the sharpest.
Am I tripping or are they acting as if they both know he's that dude that "died" years ago (forgot his name and what letter he used as initial)
