Chapter 32 (1/2)

STARRY FREEZING SKY

About one month have passed since the festival at Derufoi

Coot harsher by one level The same applied to the Myuuz castle Theher face buried in herat the sky, it was possible to seeas if they were crystals1 Riku looked at the night sky for some time

Riku preferred the sky of the afternoon over the night´s Every tiet solitary and uncomfortable She preferred the blue sky that had no clouds

But she didn´t dislike looking at the stars so, but also wouldn´t feel like sleeping On those days, she would gaze at the stars just like she was right now

“…Hm?”

At so at the stars, she suddenly felt a presence behind her She heard the metallic sound of when a person would move with an armor

“What´s your business?”

While still looking at the sky, Riku asked

Deht it could have possibly been Vrusto or Roppu, but it probably wasn´t the case If it was Vrusto, he would probably conceal the sound of his footsteps in order to give Riku a surprise, and if it was Roppu, the footsteps would be smoother If it was one of her subordinates, then that person would have had introduced himself a bit sooner She didn´t knoho it was but she didn´t feel hostility It would be fine even if she didn´t turn her head

Still in the same position, she waited for the answer

“You were here- de gozaru! I was looking for you-de gozaru!”

In answer, the person spoke in a voice full of liveliness that broke the mood

Turning back, she saw that standing there was a girl with a bright smile

In her outward appearance, she was about Riku´s sae or a bit older With her appearances put in order and her hair ell arranged2 Her Theto the thin Riku, it was possible to know hers was big even wearing an armor

…It would be hindering when swinging a sword, Riku thought

“…Who?”

Even so, it was a deet about a de and appearance After Riku inquired her that, the girl happily saluted

“I´ve been transferred to lieutenant commander Barusak´s battalion I´ive s to lieutenant commander Riku Barusak Please, take care of me from now on”

Asty readily bowed her head At the gaps of her hair, it was possible to see two horns Riku slightly raised her eyebrows

“Gortoberuk?”

“Ah, excuse randchild I´m truly thankful for you to have deliveredbusy”

“I was si my job”

Riku said as if there weren´t any problems to that

Riku intended to end the conversation with that, but Asty didn´t show any signs that she would be leaving soon

“Then, is there anything else?”

“Anything else, you say?”

Like a little bird, Asty inclined her head, and after a while, she put her hands together with a clap sound(Tl/N:It´s probably that hand sign people at ani A clenched hand above an opened one with the clenched one hitting the opened one from above Whatever it is, I have no idea how I alish D:)

“I know-de gozaru! I still didn´t congratulate lieutenant coozaru! I´ve heard about your achieve fifty soldiers to protect Charlotte-sa able to find and kill the traitor is without doubt a role ozaru”

While showing an absorbed expression, she was speaking

Riku was hearing all that with a face of so to say None of what she said rong The reasons for her promotion from captain to lieutenant co told she was the role , Riku stood up

“I don´t need any congratulating gifts Instead, just do your best on your job,”

“Un-understood- de gozaru!!”

Asty´s eyes were sparkly Although she was under a weather that was so cold one wouldn´t want to do without a coat, it was beco very hot

Riku headed inside the castle Doing that, Asty followed after her and started talking

“And then, I´ve been hearing fro about lieutenant coozaru! I´ve heard that you were a newcorandfather´s life-de gozaru na? Is there any way I can thank you for that…?”
