While I was thinking of such things, Myne who walked by my side glared at me.
[You thought that I was going to cause a riot, didn’t you?]
[Ee…]
[Yeah, I did.]
[Nn!?]
[Now now, how many times already do you think such thing has happened during our travels together? You blew away that low quality holy knight, and that time when you broke the bones of the warriors who tried to provoke you. I don’t want to see those kind of scenes here]
Myne sighed to those words.
[I had considerably held myself back during those times.]
[Seriously…..you say that you held back?]
[Ne? Fate, are you listening?]
[Yeah, I’m listening. What is it?]
[Muu, listen closely!]
Myne jumped up and pulled my ear down, so that she could bring her mouth closer. The more I tried to release myself, the more painful it got.
[Where are we going to go now?]
[I’ll answer, I’ll answer so please let go]
[We’ll arrive there soon. it’s like the slum area. We are going to the church there.]
[Fuuhn, going there to pray? That’s so unlike Fate….]
[So rude. I also pray from time to time]
[Anyways, a lot of people who lives in the slum go to the church, so it’s a good spot to go if you want to recruit people. I’d want to avoid using compulsion. So it’s better to go to the church.]
[With Fate, it’s always has to be proper]
[But it’s good that Myne is coming along with me. After all, this is the first time I’ve ever done this, so I was kinda worried.]
How about that…..? A smile bloomed on her previously expressionless face.
[Can’t be helped, it’s Fate after all. Mufufufu]
[Okay. If the church doesn’t listen to you, I’ll destroy it.]
[I guess I’ just do it myself. After thinking about it carefully, there is no need to bother Myne with it.]
[Right…]
Sorry I had to retract the offer. It’s just an attempt to brighten her mood up. Not that I knew a better method to do so.
[How about this, you’ll watch the negotiation from my back. There, like a small threatening presence?]
[I see, that should be fine too]
[What’s wrong? Nn? ……….is there something with that almost collapsed old house?]
[Just for a moment, should be fine, right?]
Uncaringly, Myne spoke from behind me while I looked around.
[Fate, let’s go]
[Ah, right.]
『Are you thinking to return back here?』
[No way, I don’t want to die yet. Everything has only begun.]
『That’s not it. If, you don’t catch up to Myne immediately, she’ll get mad and destroy all the houses around here.』
[Un, let’s go]
Let’s stop the nostalgia here. I left the old house and started walking again, along with Myne towards the church built in this slum.
