Chapter 9 (1/2)

The moment when the elevator door opened and my eyes met with the girl, I reflexively raised my hand and said.

「Good morning」

「Hih」

The girl immediately hides behind of A1. And, A1 looks this way silently.

Although I didn’t mean to scare her, I feel like being accused by A1 for some reason.

Hmm? I haven’t said to bring the girl to the dining hall, so I wonder why A1 came here together with the girl?

No way, I wonder if he isn’t a gentleman but actually a feminist. There’s plenty of possibility that he will listen to the girl’s request rather than the order of his master.

When I stared intensely at A1 with ‘jii’, the girl cut in and timidly said.

「……. U, um, would you be, the Great Magician-sama…….?」

「Oooh! Japanese! Seriously!」

When I reflexively raise a cheer to the words of the girl, she immediately hid again.

She’s scared.

Because I have been living peacefully as a simple and harmless human being, I didn’t expect that I will make anyone feel scared of me, let alone a young girl.

But now seeing her reaction makes me feel somewhat troubled.

When I quietly feeling depressed, the girl showed up again and looked at me with her big puppy eyes.

「Wha, what do you intend to do, to me……?」

What does she mean?

Do what?

「What I will do to you, you say?」

I softly ask a question in return. Softly. Kindly.

However, the face of the girl is full of tension. Why is this happening to me?

「I, I am just a village girl…… so I don’t have anything, I don’t know, anything …」

She said that in a faint voice and I finally understood.

Haa, she probably thinks I’m a kidnapper.

“Uwaa. She’s right….. she’s also taken away to an unknown place while she was unconscious. I didn’t consider this……”

I have to solve this misunderstanding somehow.

I thought that and look at the girl, but she’s still showing wariness.

Sighing, I laughed and said.

「For now, why don’t we eat a meal? Please follow me」

When I told her that and turns around, I can sense that the girl behind me is puzzled. However, I can hear her footsteps following me when I start to walk with A1.

「She will feel happy when her stomach is full. Don’t you think?」

I tried saying that in a small voice to A1 who’s walking by my side, but A1 remained silent as usual.

【The girl with red hair POV]

A young man with black hair and black eyes. Our age may not be very different. I wonder if he is about 20 years old?

That young man who is one head taller than me, was wearing a slender and unusual type of clothes for a magician. It looks unisual, some sort of gray top and black pants.

「Follow me」

He said that in a surprisingly gentle voice and I follow behind the young man and the golem.
