I feel like he already knows especially after the MC mentioned Crossroad’s and that smirk the ML gave after that. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong though (▰˘◡˘▰)
He reveals that he knew almost at the end of the story, I can guess when was exactly that he was sure that it was him but the novel doesn't say it outright
Btw does anyone know when ml will find out the MC is the MC in the new body?
