Chapter 22 (2/2)

As Laila introduced me, the vice leader before me nods

「Welcome」

It's a woman She's in the arment and covered with a red hood …It's obvious that she is strong, but I feel so else other than that from her

Also, there's another person seated in the middle section of the left seats It's an unshaved beardy ossan, with his blonde hair pulled tightly to his back in a bun …No, is he surprisingly young? Does he look like h and through Naturally, he's strong also

—Putting the observation aside

「I'e I heard my older sister Horun is under your care, so I cos Most probably, in all likelihood, beyond doubt, reat inconvenience to everyone here, but I kindly hope of you to keep treating her well from here after」

I bowed neatly And that too, I do without a slight error As if I' them my skullcap

「…………」

「…………」

「…………」

…………Eh? Did they hear that? I certainly stated ht? What's with the silent treatment?

「…Ah, eh?」

Eh?

The woe voice, so I involuntarily raise my head

…She has such an awful shocked expression on her The ossan too And for some unknown reason, Laila that is next to me too

「Err…… you, are you really Horun's br-, brother? Her brother that is a member of her family? Her brother that is a member of the family that related by blood and has spent time with her since childhood? …Ah, you're her brother that isn't related by blood, right!? 」

…………

That reaction

That way of recognition

Perhaps I just betrayed their prejudice for being 「that Horun's little brother」

While it's implicit how sister usually abuses this adventurer teas trouble to them, it's vividly transreet their leader This reat deal of inconvenience to theht at least souvenirs This is an atmosphere where I could take the on the situation, so I haven't prepared anything else

「…O, ou… for the ti, take a seat」

I'm also puzzled, but the unshaved beardy offered a seat for , why you didn't do it toin a whisper, but that's not so important so let's just not answer her
