We didn't get stopped by guards at the entrance to the town, and there were no soldiers in armor setting up roadblocks inside the town either. Guided by Tris, we’re moving to her recommended hotel. It's an ordinary inn at first glance, but it's an inn that consists of only gangsters and those who were in organizations similar to Tris’. The buildings that surround the inn are all properties of the organization, and in an emergency, we can also escape using an underground passage. It’s just like Ninja House. Ariel stays inside the inn and Tris went out to gather information. The rest of us become Ariel’s guards.
Part 7
Currently, Ghyslaine and I are near the stairs on the first floor, Sylphy and Eris are near Ariel’s room on the second floor, We are all guarding our respective locations. In the room with Ariel are Luke and the two attendants in disguise. Though I think it’s unlikely, I hope that Luke doesn’t go berserk and stab Ariel. Even if he did go mad, it will give me a reason to knock him down.... Even so. Then, I saw Ghyslaine.
"......" Standing to the side of the stairs, she was looking towards the entrance while her ears stood up. Recently, I’m not having many conversations with Ghyslaine. She is engaged in the role of escort more seriously than I am. I tried to make conversations. But she said it interferes with her hearing and stops the conversation. Maybe she hates me? Such a feeling even sprouts. But she doesn't even hold conversations with Eris, always diligent. "Rudeus." This time, she suddenly spoke to me. "Yes, what is it" "I was saved the other day." ..... The other day, when? "When I was blinded by Wii Taa."
Oh, that fight in the forest. "No need to thank me, supporting you is the role of the rear guard" "Your quick wittedness remind me of the old days." When she says old days, ... that would be ten years ago. Comparing to back then, I've changed quite a lot about myself. Though in the eyes of Ghyslaine, I did not appear different. “Your quick wit will get you into trouble one day.” “When that happens, rely on Eris-ojousama.” Oh. That’s what Ghyslaine is talking about. The fact that I always try to do everything myself. "Eris-ojousama worked hard for that.” "...... Right." I wonder why. I want Sylphy and Roxy to sit tight at home. But I don’t think the same about Eris for some reason. As you say, Ghyslaine, it’s probably because Eris has been working hard for that. That's effort showing its results.
