Chapter 2 (1/2)

It was then revealed, when Vice Captain Dort to me

As to why and how such a useful instrument was suddenly linked to me, I had no idea…

”U…?”

The fact that the other party was a vice captain intimidateddragged away like this

The opportunity for a cleaning in with Al to be discussed about, well, later you'll know…”

A little…?

To the courage I displayed, that was all he said

”Ha…” It seemed that I would only receive the full explanation once I arrived to wherever it was he was taking ave up further pursuit

Let's walk properly, at least…

Once I decided such, I increased my pace and followed the Vice Captain

In silence, we arrived at the Knight Directory Office

Like the Knight Leader's Quarters, which I saw yesterday, the office's door was engraved with the knights' coat of arnia Vice-Captain then knocked at the door

”Leader—!! I brought you the aht in the roo Ranbic

””Amulet???””

…this is kind of like a deja vu

”Bock, you…”

At first, he was as confused as the others, but, he immediately understood the situation He looked amazed

…Well, if it's

”Leader, the Star Festival is nearing No matter how unlikely it'll help, you must still try it”

”Yes, but…”

I'?

”Ah, only now do I see you properly—it's you, isn't it? The maid that escorted me to my quarters yesterday”

”Yes, I'ht to this place, I ondering if this had anything to do hat happened yesterday It see—

”—leave it to ht? That I wouldn't tell anybody about yesterday”

”Huh?”

Eh?

It isn't about yesterday?

Good Because I was nervous, I ju

His cheeks were dyed a gentle pink, too Seeing our reactions towards each other, Vice-Captain Dort

”Ms Walter I still remember our promise yesterday I know you aren't the kind of woht you to me because of a different reason”

”Different…?”

I was stunned As I had said, I never had any contact with the Vice Captain before

”Yes, yes It has nothing to do with being loose-mouthed”

The way Vice Captain Dortmund said that so casually only made it harder to believe He continued

”There's soht Leader with a sht Leader?”

I unintentionally inspected him froh to ht about it, I didn't think someone like him needed an escort I also didn't think I was suited for the role My level of experience was that of running around thechildhood

Shouldn't knights be the one doing the escorting, anyway?

Vice-Captain Dorthed bitterly once he understood the reason of my reluctance

”No, no, it's not your physical prowess that we require—more like, your mental fortitude, or, to be more accurate, spiritual tendency?”

”Huh…?”

”She didn't appear when Knight Leader ith you, for some reason”

”She?”

”Yes, that transparent woht, yesterday's topic

Ghost

”…isn't that coincidental?”

Unfortunately, I only talked and walked with Knight Leader Ranbic for a short ti to do with me She probably didn't appear because of a coincidence
