Looks like we also have to sit in while the envoy from the Western Margrave received a full explanation.
To be honest, the atmosphere is very heavy, but we have some people who are good at striking up conversations.
“Hey, hey! How do you fight, Casey-oneechan and Telma-oneechan?”
“Uh, well, I fight in a swordsman style.”
Casey replied.
“I’m also a swordsman style. Both of us can use body-enhancement magic, so we’re fairly skilled,” Telma added.
“““Ooh! That’s cool!”””
Come to think of it, Casey and Telma both had swords strapped to their waists.
The captured adventurer was also a swordsman type. But, would having three frontliners really work out? Sue seemed to be thinking the same thing, and she asked them a few questions of her own.
“So, what role did Dein-sama take?”
“W-well… he just stayed in the back.”
“He said it was because he was supposed to be in a commanding position…”
Yeah… that guy really was a piece of work. He probably intended to run off the moment things got tough.
“Most likely, he thought a woman would be easier to control than a man if a fight broke out. Truly despicable.”
The guild master muttered, frowning at the audacity of the guy.
No doubt, he just wanted to level up without lifting a finger.
“By the way, at first Dein-sama intended to invite Sue-san to the party. After the chaos in the Southern Margravate, he expected her to return to the capital.”
“But Sue-san went off to the other frontiers. That’s why we were chosen instead.”
“I’m sorry about that. But to be honest, I really don’t want to work with Dein-sama.”
““Me neither!””
Hmm… the women were absolutely tearing into the child of their patron. That alone showed just how little respect—or popularity—that Dein guy had.
Shiro and the others soon joined in the conversation.
“Um, you know, Sue-oneechan actually has a nickname.”
“Ah, I think it’s the ‘Holy Empress,’ right?”
“Shiro-chan, Fran-chan, don’t say anything about the nickname.”
Sue whispered, a faint blush on her cheeks.
“And Shun-oniichan… he’s known as the ‘Electric Chef.’”
“Wow… even a nickname, huh? As expected of Sue-san.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have reached D rank in just over six months, right?” Sue seemed a little embarrassed about how she had earned her title, so she didn’t like being called by it. But, really, it was better for everyone to know sooner rather than later—it was bound to come out eventually.
