week later, after the dinner ban had been lifted, Fii once again ca to the 18th Divisions eting place.
When she entered, Conrad-san was there, as expected.
After exchanging greetings as usual, he made so tea for her. Todays was chamomile. It was calming, and just a little sweet, so it really made her relax sohow.
While she was enjoying it, Conrad spoke from the seat opposite her:
Today youll be going on a mission with , so lets get along, Heath-chan!
before giving her a wink.
Eh?
Fii was dumbfounded.
Conrad gave her an unreadable smile in return, and after resting his hands in his palms, as the table supported his elbows, he looked up at Fii.
Goodness, youre so an, Heath-chan. Its almost as though your expression is sayingI never expected the words mission to co out of this guys mouthor sothing like that. Why, that makes
sound like a chronic laze-about or sothing.
(He read my thoughts!?)
Fii felt goosebumps rise on her back.
I-, Im sorry. But, its because youre always here when I co.
Thats because I wanted to have tea with you, you see~
Seeing Conrads sweet smile, Fii thought to herself that perhaps he really *was just a laze-about.
Even Crow who always looked after Fii would sotis be out helping other divisions, but Conrad could win a reward for perfect attendance.
So, what is this mission then?
Aah, were just going to head out to town for a little. Theres still so tea left, so lets enjoy the tea first.
The whole conversation lacked any of the suspense you would expect from two people about to head off on a mission.
(Are we going to buy groceries or sothing?)
Even though it should have been impossible, for so reason Fii felt it possible instead.
After the two finished leisurely drinking the tea, they headed out the castle gate.
The centre of town was filled with orderly stone buildings, but Conrad took Fii sowhere a little further out, where the stone was replaced by wood.
Fii couldnt help but look left and right restlessly. Seeing this, Conrad chuckled and warned,
You shouldnt look so restless. Youll attract sobody dangerous, you know.
Having been told that, Fii stopped it.
Apparently it really *was a dangerous place.
In the end, they arrived at a worn-down inn.
It was a two-story wooden building, but parts of the walls were modified here and there, and it gave off a deserted feeling. And rightfully so, because there was no signs of anybody at all.
When they entered, there was an old person sitting at the counter.
They were visibly blind. Without saying a word, Conrad simply placed gold on the counter, and headed further in.
(Uwahh!)
It was a huge amount of money, unthinkable for a stay at an inn.
It was three tis larger than her monthly salary as an apprentice knight.
As for the old person, they simply accepted the money silently.
Fii also realised that it wasnt the right place to talk, so she followed Conrad in without a sound.
After climbing up the stairs, there were roughly six rooms on the second floor. As usual, there were no signs of life.
Conrad suddenly handed so clothing to her.
It was a butler outfit, sized for a young boy.
A white shirt and vest, with a black tie, and black pants. There was no jacket.
Change in this room. Ill be changing too.
Conrad indicated one of the rooms, before heading into the neighbouring one.
(Whats going on)
Fii didnt really understand, but when she began to change, she realised that the clothing fit her perfectly.
Naturally, she was left in wonder.
But since thinking about it would yield no answers, she left the room.
Conrad wasnt done yet.
But it didnt take long until the door to his room opened.
And a peerless beauty appeared.
Long, striking red hair, and large almond eyes, adorned with long lashes. Skin, white like china, with just a single dash of red, made her face a work of art.
By her mouth, she held a folding fan, feathered and luxurious.
The dress which opened daringly at her breast, enveloped her slender, but full body, and the charm that she exuded caused even Fiis female heart to pound.
Above all, she was giving off an incredibly nice sll.
Fii unconsciously sniffed.
After Fii had had her fill of being chard by the bewitching beauty, the beauty snapped the fan shut, and spoke.
Ive kept you waiting, Heath-chan.
It was Conrad-sans voice
