"I am Flora Gly-…. No. I am Lirienne…. Just Lirienne….."
When I heard this, I activated my All-Seeing Eye, and the panel appeared right beside me.
"Hmm?"
------------------------------------
Name – Flora Glyndon
Age – 15
Class – Moon Elf (Not awakened) – High Elf
Mage Rank - 2
Knight Rank – 2
Attributes – Moon, Plant
------------------------------------
Seeing the panel appearing in front of me, I was surprised for a second.
'Flore Glyndon? Was there a person like that in the game?'
Quickly browsing the contents of the game in my mind, I thought.
'Ah…. Now, I understand.'
And then realized.
'So, that is, who you were, Lirienne.'
Thinking that, I decided to answer.
"I see. I am Callius, just Callius."
Extending my hand toward the elf in front of me, I said.
"Nice to meet you."
"…."
However, my hand was hung on the empty air.
'Right….. Elves don't like touching other people.'
Although that was what I thought, I didn't take my hand back.
"…."
"…."
After ten seconds of glare fighting, in the end, a tiny hand was extended towards mine to shake it.
"Good girl."
"Gr…."
Hearing this, she growled and threw a glare at me but didn't say anything more.
"Now that you are here, what are you going to do?"
"…. I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"….. I don't know."
"….."
'Dealing with this girl is somehow hard….'
Since I can't understand what is going on in her mind.
Her face is blank most of the time, although the gaze of hatred is still deep down there.
"Is that so?.... Aren't you an elf? What were you even doing here?"
I asked since I was curious.
"I….. I was on a trip…."
"Trip? What kind of trip is that to come to this wilderness?"
"….."
After that, I kept talking with her for a little while until the officials came.
"Were you the one who threw the signal?"
"Yes."
A man with a slightly bulky build that had iron plate armor over his body and a woman that had more of an officer type came beside me and asked.
"Show me your adventurer ID."
No matter where you are or what time period you are living in, in the end your identity is a symbol of credibility.
"Here."
Grabbing the card, the woman examined it for a second.
"Okay, it is real."
"Hmm… Then, what happened here?"
After the woman confirmed the ID's credibility, the man asked me looking around.
"I subdued Thomas Logan."
"Huh? That Thomas Logan?"
"Yes."
"Nah, there is no way a young ki-"
"Here."
/THUD/
Before he could deny my words, I threw a head that I brought from my spatial ring.
"Huh?"
A surprised exclamation came not long after.
"It is Thomas' face? What?"
The knight was surprised.
'I really wonder how he did get his job. If I get a chance, I will report him.'
I thought since I really don't like people who can't think rationally and drown in their prejudiced thoughts.
In the first place, a person who is responsible for others should always be open-minded and should think of something that might come unexpectedly.
"It is the real deal."
However, just as the knight was surprised, the woman beside him was not.
"What? Claire, are you serious?"
"Yes."
"So, you are saying this kid over here beat three four-stars on his own."
"Ye-"
"Wait. I didn't say. I beat the others."
"Hmm?"
"I said. I beat Thomas Logan. I hadn't fought with Arthur Logan or Finn Logan."
"Then…"
"Yeah. Someone other than me killed them before me."
"….. Do you know who they were?"
"No. I have no clue. It was even very hard to follow them, thanks to the storm."
"What storm…"
'Right, they probably don't know about the storm.'
"There was a storm while….."
After explaining to the officers truly what happened there, I learned there were many other villages that were slaughtered on the way here.
"Wow….. To think they had killed over 1000 people."
It was such a huge number, even on Earth, where a lot of people are living in the same place as in the metropoles.
The number of villages they have massacred passed the number ten….
"Yeah, they did. And we don't even know how many others were unregistered."
"Right…."
"Then, what are you going to do now?"
"Since I finished this quest, I will depart from this region."
"You will depart, huh? What about escorting us to the closest city? Of course, we will pay you."
"I am sorry, but I will decline your offer. I need to hurry now."
"It is a pity. Then, you can get your reward from the guild. You can say my name and show this card to the guild officers. They know I am in charge of this quest."
"Thank you, Miss Claire."
"Have good travel, mister Callius."
After shaking hands with the guild officer Claire Thompson, I left her and started walking to the elven girl who was the supposed princess of the Elven Empire.
'Now that this girl is here, I guess it is not bad to have her as an ally.'
That was what I had in my mind.
"If you don't have anything to do, then come with me."
"With you?"
"Yes, with me. I don't know what is wrong with this hatred oozing from you, but if you want revenge, then you need to get a lot stronger than how you are right now."
"….."
"You know, I am right. Don't you?"
"I need to get stronger….."
Although I heard her slight mumble, I decided to pretend like I didn't while waiting for an answer.
"I want to kill them right now. But, I am weak….."
At that moment, she was having a hard time herself….
It was like she was thinking with her voice but assumed I couldn't hear him.
"So, what are you going to do? If you want revenge, you need to get stronger. And if you want to get stronger, I can give you strength."
"…. You can give me strength…."
"Yes. Now give me an answer."
"…. Okay, I will come with you."
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on my face.
"Then let's go."
This word marked the start of my journey with this future villainess…..
