Chapter 9 (1/2)

”It ht be a bit late to ask this, but do you two know each other?”

Lorobel and the girl don't seem to mind each other toojust because they're both adventurers

”It really is a bit late, isn't it?”

”Well, I didn't really care, so”

”Hold up! Care! Ah, that's why you can run away like it's nothing!”

As afornow is because Lorobel and the girl are currently in a situation where they're sitting together with someone unrelated

But despite that, they see up their personal matters So I was bothered about whether it bothers theether, but we at least know each other's name and face She's especially fairl who's still fu, it is Lorobel who answers o that she was brought to the royal capital because of her Ceremony of Determination Just like you”

Heeh So in other words——

”She has 'a ht That's why the adventurer teams scrambled to recruit her That's how she becaet it now No wonder she seems so weak

She is one of those rookie adventurers that can use ic

Before her Talent was deterirl who didn't really have a need to train

Laila directs sharp eyes towards et aith any lies

I really don't want to say that we're faet told ”the younger brother also shares responsibility with the sister” or ”if you're her brother then look after her properly” for all the problems that Horun's definitely perpetrated

”To sum it up in a phrase, she's an acquaintance”

”How about two phrases?”

”Acquaintance, froe”

”And more specifically?”

”Eh? Specifically? Umm…… her family told me to check up on her Since we're acquaintances froe”

None of that was a lie It's just that I haven't said that I'm part of her fa anythingto tell someone who isn't involved

Once she knows that Horun and I know each other, that I'm not an enemy, then surely Laila would back off

”…… For soane seems really suspicious” (Laila)

”Is that so? I think you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find so that about yourself? Seriously?” (Laila)

There's no one present who knows iven the freedom to justify myself I mean, I really do think I' s that I really have no interest in

”You really are her acquaintance, right?”

”Yep”
