I finally came beside the inner wall near the large front gate.
If we pass through beyond this wall, we would be outside the royal capital.
I started walking towards the entrance of the underground sewers.
Silently, I arrived at my destination.
While keeping vigilance around the area, I carefully removed the grid.
As I stepped into the sewers, I also make sure that I put the grid back.
If Eve hadn’t come through here, she may have come out through the large front gate.
However, I’m going to use this place so that we wouldn’t stand out.
[Milord?]
Seras’ voice.
Taking off the mask on my face, I started walking towards her direction.
Turning to a corner, I found Seras.
I could also see Eve and that girl’s figure.
I picked up my luggage that Seras had been looking after.
[My bad, I made you all wait.]
[No problem.]
[Hati.]
Eve called out.
I held out my hand and stopped her.
[Let’s talk while walking.]
After walking for a while, Eve spoke again.
[I’m sorry about earlier. I suddenly lost my mind due to anger…]
[You’re more short-tempered than I thought.]
[…I’m quite ashamed of that.]
After a brief moment, Eve asked.
[And the shopkeeper lady?]
[I’ve done what I need to do.]
[…Is that so.]
It seems that she had understood what I meant.
[I must look pretty naive…]
[It’s possible.]
[…………..]
[Putting that aside, is that girl alright?]
[Ah, yeah.]
Eve stroked the head of the girl walking beside her.
[Liz, introduce yourself.]
[Y- Yes…]
Timidly, the young girl looked towards me and Seras.
[I- I’m Lizbeth… I’m sorry, that’s the only name I’ve known of. Ahh… It’s a bit long, so you can just call me Liz.]
[I’m Touka.]
Liz had an expression on her face that she found something strange.
Eve also had the same expression.
Until now, they were under the impression that my pseudonym was my real name after all.
[Hati is just a pseudonym. My real name is Touka Mimori.]
[So that’s how it is. You’re pretty cautious, aren’t you?]
[Well, yeah… Anyway, this swordswoman beside me is Seras Ashrain. She currently had changed her appearance through the power of the spirit.]
[I’m in your care, both of you.]
Seras greeted in the end.
Eve already knows the identity of Seras.
It seems that Liz doesn’t really know that she introduced herself with the name of the former leader of the Holy Knights.
After Seras introduced herself again to them, Liz came next to me.
[Touka-sama.]
Bowing her head, Liz spoke.
[I- I will do anything so… Please let me and my sister go with you… I beg of you.]
[…I will be going into a dangerous place after this. It’s possible that you may lose your life there. If you’re fine with that, then I’ll bring you with me.]
[I don’t mind… Even if it’s towards a dangerous place, as long as I’m with my Big Sister…]
[I understand. That’s good.]
Liz sniffs.
[Thank you very much…]
Well, I really intended to take her along with me though…
[……………]
Liz raised her head and peeked at me.
[Are you worried about something?]
Liz looked uneasy ever since she joined our group.
