Barret's visit this time came without any underlings.
In fact, even if he had brought some, there wouldn't have been room to sit, for the room inside the Purgatory Gate was only about ten square meters, furnished with nothing more than a bed, a flush toilet, and hardly anything else. In such a tiny space, it was barely possible to fit anything else.
He had come alone, not because Guding's room was too small. If it had been in the past, he would have liked to be surrounded by his followers for everything he did, but now he felt it was unnecessary.
His main purpose in finding Guding was to settle the bet from the previous day.
Upon arriving at Guding's door, Barret, who typically didn't have the habit of knocking, hesitated and then decided to knock a few times anyway. He was certain that Guding was inside, but he also refrained from probing with the Power of Soul to check what Guding was doing; perhaps it was better to knock first.
