Chapter 145.1
The Two Boys
Hearing the voices, Elena hurriedly put on the hood of her cloak to hide her face.
The two people watching us were a Cruz and a Dark Elf. Both of them look the same age as us, but like us, their appearance may not always match their actual age.
The age of the elven species, which were particularly long-lived, was difficult to discern from their appearance. The Dark Elves gave me a sharp look, and when I hid Elena from their gaze to protect her, the Cruz boy noticed and lightly tapped the Dark Elf on the shoulder.
“Camille, don’t scare the girls.”
“…”
So he said, and the Dark Elf called Camille turned on his heel without changing his expression, while the remaining Cruz boy shrugged his shoulders, let out a wry smile, and with a friendly smile on his face, he pointed with his fingertips to the place where the guild business was done, and finally waved lightly, and followed Camille out of the Hogloss Trading Company building.
“…Aria.”
“It’s okay.”
It was a strange…if not suspicious…duo. Both were still young, but seemed reasonably competent. They were also covering their bodies with a cloak, so I could not accurately appraise them, but I guessed it was also to hide their abilities.
However, from their attitude, I did not think that they were the kind of people who would tell people that we were Mercedesans. I wondered if Elena also sensed this, and her caution was not toward them.
In the Hogloss Trading Company, the store selling goods and the guild business area where adventurers hang out were adjacent to each other. Even now, as I entered the building, I could feel a certain number of eyes on me.
