Chapter 2: A warht that, ‘as a ratitude after all?’“

At the young reatly dropped her shoulders

“Have you not thought of respecting the other person opinion?”

“I did think about it, and I aize, then you shouldn't have colared at hi etic

“No, in reality, I wanted to co to what I’ve said?”

“But I had to take another post at the fortress, and asking my superior for a leave was difficult…only now had I finally got a day off”

“A superior in a fortress…wait, are you a soldier!?”

Perhaps the fort he is talking about is the one frohborhood has a town in its oay, even though it's a rural place compared to the capital city and isn't an area that interferes in any way, it was once a state border However there's only one toith the rest being es

“Do you dislike bean soup?”

Astreya didn’t say a word of negation

With such a scent floating, her throat felt dry

However, if she ate that here, the youth would be encouraged to overstay, and she can't let it happen

While Astreya was in a conflicting state, a sudden sound dory stomach
