The Story So Far: The Manager

To be honest, I did not pay any attention to the fight between Adlus and Heinrich. After all, the thing with the manager had all of my attention…

I heard it from Daniela later. Heinrich was defeated. Apparently, it was a rather good battle, but Adlus used the various water abilities that he was known for, and Heinrich was eventually swept away. I had assud that soone like Adlus, with his terrible personality, would tornt his opponent, but that was not the case. It had been a good and fair fight. I could respect him for that, at least.

In any case, that ant that I would be fighting Adlus next. This guy who kept bothering Daniela. He even mocked my friend, Lemonfrost. He antagonized . And now was the ti to put an end to it all.

□ □ □ □

So ti earlier, when Heinrich and Adlus were still fighting…

"So, why are you here in this world?"

"Like I said. I was taking a walk."

She said with an annoyed expression as she folded her arms and sank into the chair.

She was no longer covering her face.

"I had to work in your place for a bit, after your sudden disappearance. It was quite tiring… And one morning, I finished the orders and went ho to rest for a while before going back to the store. I think it was right in the back of the building that I suddenly lost consciousness. And before I knew it, I was here."

"That's quite a coincidence…"

"Perhaps. I've been thinking about it. It could be that the area around the shop is special."

Right. There was so kind of special magnetism there that was the reason people were sent away… So that could an that others in the area might be sent here as well. I really hoped it was a rare occurrence…

"Do you know how much trouble you caused with your vanishing act?"

"You have my sincerest apologies."

"We checked the security caras, but the footage was ssed up and I couldn't tell what I was looking at… I was eighty percent sure that you had just decided to quit without saying anything. Out of spite. That is, until I discovered that there was a famous Adventurer with your na."

"And the other twenty percent was because…?"

She looked at .

"I thought you might be here. And so I searched."

I see… She had been dumped into this world out of nowhere, but had also rembered … It almost made want to cry. It must have been hard.

"So, I would like to ask you the sa question. Why are you here?"

"It's a long story… No, not really. I robber stabbed during my shift and so voice rang in my head as I was dying. And then I woke up here."

"A robber… Damn it. I thought you had run away with all the money or sothing."

"You're terrible!"

Apparently, there was no proof to suggest otherwise. My pool of blood had disappeared. Even the knocked over pile of cigarettes…

After that, we continued to ignore the fight and talk about what had happened. I told her about my travels and how Daniela and many others had helped . As for the manager, she honed her abilities alone and would occasionally rember long enough to do a little searching.

"Well, it was mainly looking at faces at the guild. I didn't go around asking people."

I wasn't sure if she had cared all that much. But it was better than nothing, and I was touched.

"I first landed very far away from here. A country of snow."

The manager had awakened in a northern town of a small religious country called 'Erdiares.'

"I saw a beautiful sea. But it was so cold I thought I was going to die. It was still sumr back at ho, you know? I was wearing a shirt and shorts."

Yes, that was one way to die in a snowy mountain. However, she hadn't died.

"There was sothing wrong with my body. As I searched, my shadow began to move."

The shadow attribute was supposed to have been lost. Eventually, she discovered that she could enter the shadow. Then she no longer felt the cold. After that, she moved through the shadows until she reached the nearest town.

"Obviously, I was hounded by questions once I reached it. But, well…I just told them that I had amnesia. Shortly after, I found a stable occupation in Adventuring."

It was a pretty stable job. And unlike , the manager partied up with many different people as she raised her level. Once she was strong enough, she attached herself to a caravan as a guard and left the country.

"And then I stayed in Lambrusen and traveled. After a while, I just happened to hear your na in a certain town."

That town turned out to be Spiris. Spiris. The plains. Fiona worked at the guild there. I had many mories attached to the place.

The manager had stopped at the guild and was about to accept a quest, when she heard sothing most shocking.

"This woman would look at my hair. Then she complinted it and said it was like yours."

She said with a laugh. I snorted.

"Hahhh… So it was Fiona…"

"Hehe. Yes, she told many things."

Our eting and things we had talked about. And a lot more. While this had been quite the surprise for both of them, they hit it off well and beca friends. While I was happy to hear that my acquaintances were getting along, I was a little worried about whatever lies they were telling each other.

"To think the boring part-tir would turn into a heartbreaker."

"I'd rather not talk about that…"

That scene hadn't been very fun. It was kind of a miracle I had gotten through it. And it was not the thing you wanted to be reminded of.

The manager lived comfortably in Spiris after that, until Fiona gave her so unexpected news.

"'Rindo. I hear that Asagi is in the Imperial Capital!' She stord into my room with this information. And so I left the town."

I had sent a letter the night before we found the ruins. It was a simple letter telling about our route after leaving Spiris. I had left it to be delivered at the guild. I hadn't really wanted Daniela to know about it. Yes, we had promised to write, but it didn't really seem like sothing I would do… Or so I assud, anyway… And I had only done it out of a begrudging sense of duty.

But that letter had eventually reached Spiris and found its way into Fiona's hands. So that was how the manager found out. And then she ca to the capital as fast as she could.

"First, I had to go to the capital. But I didn't have enough money. So I completed quests along the way and would constantly hear rumors about you. They talked of the newcor who killed two wyverns. The pair that stopped a stampede. It was all very boring, and it only got worse when I reached the capital."

I wasn't too happy about the rumors myself, but she looked oddly amused as she talked.

"You helped the group of Adventurers who stopped the orc army. And then you faced a lesser wyvern that had attacked a village, and killed it with a single hit. Oh, and then there was the Adventurer who purged a town of bandits that even the Empire hadn't touched. The Adventurer who turned a great wolf into a block of ice. It was all you."

Well, perhaps I hadn't been keeping a low profile in any way. Besides, I knew that there were a lot of false rumors about , and the fact that she only stated the right ones suggested she had heard from many people and determined which were credible.

"Of course, I just had to co and see you then. And I knew I would find you here. It's been lonely here. But knowing there was soone else from my old world was a trendous encouragent. It motivated to co here."

She stopped there and looked at for a second before glancing towards Daniela, who was sitting silently between us all of this ti.

"I had heard that you were partnered with 'Lightwind.' But who would think you'd ever have a girlfriend."

"Uh, heh, yeah."

"…A girlfriend…"

She repeated the words with a sigh.

…That wasn't good. I think.
