Year 7446, Month 5, Day 6
Mary's face as she walked over here had completely lost it's softness and tightened up. It seems she's gotten a bit of a suntan as well. Oh~ all of us still had our helmets on. I lifted my chin up while untying the string on my helmet to take it off. I'm sure my hair that's been dyed bright red stands out.
Seeing my dyed hair, Mary made a slightly surprised face but even then she continued walking without breaking her pace.
"You seem healthy, Mary."
"Thanks to you. I've prepared a room. These people are?"
Mary smiled a bit and said while looking at Miduchi and the other two.
"They're all my party members. I'll introduce you later. Where's Kuro?"
"Right now is our break time between shifts so he went out shopping for a bit. He should return soon. Please come this way"
"Wait just a minute. Is it fine to tie up our horses to the stake here?"
"Yeah, that's no problem. It's fine for you to keep your weapons as well."
Hearing that Angela quickly fastened the horses.
We were let through into the room which I had an interview with commander Sendhel once upon a time. After entering the building we crossed paths with several people but Mary always retreated to the side of the halls and waited for the other party to pass by.
It couldn't be helped so we copied her as well.
"I'm sorry. Since I'm a squire..In the knight group the visitors who stop by receive the same treatment."
Obviously~ I already knew that they wouldn't become something like a true knight in just four years. It can't be helped.
"Now then, shall we at least do introduction before Kuro returns? Yeah. Everyone, she is Mary, Marissa.Binsil. She's supposedly still a squire so a Free Person I guess?"
"Yeah, that's right. It's nice to meet you. I'm Marissa.Binsil a squire of the Marquis Webdos Knight Group."
Mary stood up with a firm posture and introduced herself like a soldier.
"I said it before but she might look like this but formerly she was an old lady just a bit younger than I was. Don't forget your respect for the elderly."
I said it like a joke but Mary glared at me with terrifying expression.
"Something like our previous ages don't matter at all! Since I'm 18 years old now. Rather than that quickly introduce us."
"Yeah, looking from your left is Miduchi. Midu~ritto.Chizumagurol."
"It's nice to meet you, Mary-san. I'm Midu~ritto.Chizumagurol. Just as you can see I'm a dark elf. I've dyed my hair but if I remove the dyes it's completely black. Since it seems this person has been in your care, thank you very much."
Miduchi said that while taking a step forward and stretching her right hand out to Mary. Mary grabbed that hand and shook it but it seems she was a bit overawed by Miduchi's skin color.
"..It..It's nice to meet you...I'm sorry. It's my first time meeting a dark elf and..That is...Also, this person?.."
"Yeah, there was a bit of a relation in the pa"I'm his wife."we still aren't married."
Hearing our words Mary made a slightly cheerful face saying, "You too.." and smiled while looking at Miduchi's face.
