Chapter 106
I finally came beside the inner wall near the large front gate .
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 . ]
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 .
I’ve noticed it since earlier .
[Ah, umm… It’s just that… I felt like your voice is a bit different than when you were wearing that King of Flies mask… I’m sorry if I
