Chapter 2 (2/2)
It was only natural, but the scar-facedHiro
“Friends……? Those are quite the unusual garments And⎻⎻⎻”
The man’s face didn’t even try to hide his displeasure as he looked down on Hiro However, just that gaze alone ive out
Certainly, Hiro was the one and only person wearing a school uniform here
In the first place, Hiro was hardly used to seeing people wearing armour with a sword at their waists
“Those features and hair colour don’t belong to one of the empire……which country are you from?”
Upon being told that, Hiro realized that none of the that of a japanese person
Blonde, and brown hair could be seen all over the place Yet, there was not one whose hair possessed a dark tint like Hiro
Their cheekbones were also proh, their shoulders wide, and if you compared their bodies, no tere the same
The young girl next to Hiro lightly tapped his shoulder
When he turned his head, her lovely and beautiful face came just up to the tip of his nose
“You’ve got a kind face, and your eyes are also big and round, kind of like when Cerberus was little I like it, you know?”
“Eh, ahh……th-thanks”
Just when I ondering what she was going to say……it made my heart beat violently
“That makes it even more suspicious Do you knohere this is?”
“Dios Don’t be so inti towards a child like this He’s terrified!”
“……but you know, Ojou Even if he is a child, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a suspicious character”
For Hiro, these ords that he couldn’t sinore
If it was thecalled a child
However, for the young girl……for a girl as clearly younger than him to call him a child was odd
“Why? Even though he’s cute……“
“It’s not acute or not……”
As the corners of Dios’his hand
“U-Um~……”
“What’s wrong?”
The young girl responded to Hiro with an attitude full of affection
Once he understood that it was a way in which one ht treat a child, Hiro couldn’t help but feel that it was extremely unfortunate
“Even though I look like this, I’ 17”
“…you’re lying, right? You’re older than me?”
Just as Hiro wondered why she was h he had swindled her, Dios, as still on horseback, also had his mouth half-open in shock
“Aren’t you actually around 10 years old?”
Even if japanese people appear younger than they actually are, come on(3)
My height’s even……165ch school sophomore
Incidentally, it (irl’s
“Could you be a kind of spirit?”
Dios looked at Hiro with a serious face
“Ahh, I see! That’s why he was in the forest But do spirits get lost, I wonder……”
Just as it seeirl iroan, “Hmm”
She was a girl whose expressions changed often
“……for noe’ll take that guy with us”
“Eh? We can’t His parentshim back home”
“Ojou……he’s 16, you know? If he was a child, I o, but he’s a full adult He intruded on royal property without perate it”
“Eh, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about though? Let’s return him”
“He could be an enemy spy”
“I don’t think that’s the case though……”
“No”
“Then, I’ll have hiht?”
After a short period of time, the wrinkle on Dios’ forehead smoothed out and he spoke
“……haa, very well Then, let us return to the fortress”
Turning the horse around, Dios left
As though it had switched places with Dios, an extravagant carriage came in front of Hiro
“Please, juht”
Before Hiro could go in, Cerberus jumped on-board
When he followed and went in, he found that it ide enough for 6 people to sit
Avoiding Cerberus, as lying sprawled on the floor, Hiro sat on one of the installed seats
The young girl, who got in afterwards, sat across from him
“Sorry for frightening you and everything”
“No, it’s a dream, so it can’t be helped”
Having endured up until this moment, Hiro didn’t want to admit that this was reality
The girl tilted her head
“……a dream?”
“Yup Otherwise there’s just too much stuff that can’t be explained”
“What can’t be explained?”
“Just a little while ago, I was at school But before I realized it, I was here If this is a dreae suddenly, and people that I’ve never seen before could appear, right?”
“……I suppose But, you’re right there, are you not? I do believe that this is reality”
Suddenly, the girl rose to her feet and approached Hiro
As she placed her warm hands on Hiro’s face, a soft sensation was transmitted to Hiro’s cheeks However, at that moment, an intense pain assaulted him
“O!?”
The girl was pinching Hiro’s cheek with all her ht
After doing that for a bit, she released her hold and returned to her previous seat
Apparently startled by Hiro’s scream, Cerberus’ eyes became round
“See? It’s not a dreaht?”
“Even if that’s the case, you don’t just go and suddenly pinch people like that”
While Hiro stroked his cheek as it throbbed with pain, one of the s that the carriage was furnished as knocked on
“What happened?”
Dios peered into the carriage with a dubious face
“It’s nothing Hiro was saying that this was a dream, so I just pinched his cheek”
“Hht be a spy”
After throwing that out, Dios went away from the
Once he hed
“Haa……”
