Chapter 25.1
Solicitation
“Hey you…”
Sera softly called out to the lonely figure of the blood-stained child standing in the darkness, and the intense glaze that had been released in alarm at her sudden appearance relaxed slightly after confirming she was not one of those monsters.
Still, the sharpness of her gaze, which made it hard to believe that she was just a child, had not disappeared, and she remained vigilant with her knife at the ready.
Sera looked at her and suddenly realized. This child did not trust “adult” strangers…
“…that girl is safe.”
When Sera suddenly said this to the child, the child finally decided that she was not an enemy, and the killing intent that remained disappeared as if melting away into the night, and the child finally looked straight at Sera.
After all, this child had fought a reckless battle to draw the monsters away from Minna, and had also defeated a rank 2 monster, a hobgoblin, resulting in her current ragged state.
This child may not believe in people, but she was still not warped as a “person”.
(She is similar to someone.)
The child’s eyes, looking straight at Sera, seemed to resemble her boss, His Excellency the Count of the Frontier, in both color and strength.
Who was this child…? The boldness and killing power that one would not expect from a child, and the fighting ability, exceeded even Sera’s son, who had been training from a younger age.
