Chapter 5 (2/2)

“My bad, my bad. You don’t have to look so surprised. You just had such a cute and girly face, that I couldn’t help but tease you. So what’s up, kid? You lost?”

Hearing his explanation, Fii sighed in relief.

It seemed he had just been teasing her.

“Um, I was trying to line up but…”

“Aah, could it be that you got pushed out of the queue? You’re pretty small after all.”

“Y-, Yes! That’s exactly right!”

She hadn’t actually been in the queue, but his misunderstanding was convenient so she went along with it.

“Sorry, but you don’t have a choice except to line up again. I’ll guide you to the end, okay?” said the knight with a grin.

It was a handsome smile, and had the maids from Déman seen it, they would probably have flushed red and fainted.

But to Fii, she was more interested in the fact that he would be escorting her to the end.

(With this I can escape without suspicion and line up for the test!)

What a lucky accident.

“Hey, make way! We’re trying to get through here, and I don’t wanna touch huge dudes like you lot. Touching should be done with cute girls, laying naked in my bed.”

With that, the chaotic line of applicants began splitting apart to form a path for them.

(He really is just as frivolous as he looks…)

His words just now had confirmed her first impression of him.

When the path through the line was finally opened, the knight turned around and beckoned Fii over with a smile.

“C’mon kid, let’s go.”

“Yes!”

(But he’s a surprisingly good person, isn’t he.)

With a smile, Fii chased after him.
