61 – Regina’s Interview (1/2)

「Na!」

「Eh?」

Rosetta and Tina instantly jumped back at the sudden voice.

「You don’t have to be on your guard」

From the neighbouring room, a person appeared, clad in full-body armour including a helmet which hid their full-face.

That person was holding a gigantic axe which was much larger than its wielder.

Although the face is covered, it was definitely Regina judging from the stature.

Tina and Rosetta were astonished by Regina’s bizarre appearance.

I too was a little surprised.

ーJuukoooo

A weird noise leaked out from the helmet. She has inserted something inside the helmet.

There’s no doubt she had Milt build something to alter her voice.

Was this perhaps the preparation Regina mentioned yesterday?

When meeting the present me for the first time, Regina emitted an overwhelming bloodlust.

I’m sure that this is one of Regina’s traits when testing someone.

Perhaps Regina does this, so people wouldn’t underestimate her due to her short stature.

I understand that Regina put a lot of thought into altering her voice.

However, since I already know its Regina, I find it to be nothing but amusing.

I was even trying my hardest not to laugh out loud.

However, Xenovia remained sat in a composed manner as though she had gotten used to Regina’s appearance, and said with a smile.

「This is the first meeting for Tina and Regina, right」

「Yes」Rosetta said.

Tina on the other hand simply nodded in a bewildered state.

「Well, introductions are in order. This is my fellow sister disciple, Regina Edel Glacier」

「…Hero Regina-sama?」

Rosetta was surprised and looked over at Regina.

And Tina gracefully bowed her head.

「It is an honour to meet the esteemed Hero. I am Tina Dion Irmady」

「So you are Dion’s disciple. I have heard of you. You seem to be working hard」

「Thank you very much」

「And you are Rosetta?」

「Y-Yes! It is nice to meet you, I am Rosetta!」

「Umu」

Then, Regina approached Rosetta as close as possible.

「Ah, ummm… Regina-sama?」

ーJuukooo

Regina kept glaring at the perplexed Rosetta.

However, as Regina has a short stature, she had to literally look up to Rosetta.

「Fushuu」

As the “Juukooo” sound kept leaking out, I finally lost it and tittered.

「Ex-Excuse me, I sneezed」

Nobody seemed to have minded.

I’m glad no one got suspicious.

「Hmm, I see」Regina said, and moved away.

「Excuse me for suddenly doing that」

「No, I don’t mind, but… what was it about?」

「Nothing much, just that Xenovia recommended Rosetta as my disciple」

「I? The Hero’s disciple? Eh? Why?」

Rosetta’s tone became dishevelled as she received a great shock.

「You are a youngster with talent, so she recommended you as a disciple」
