Chapter 634: Luluanes Disciples
Here is your rewritten light novel scene, following all your instructions carefully:
—
Shinji, glad to be reunited with Luluane’s disciples, followed their lead into the temporary base. Several tents had been set up inside, and in one of them, the group gathered face-to-face.
Luluane, her waist-length purple hair flowing as she removed her long-sleeved hooded robe, bowed deeply. Her black tunic clung lightly to her form as she spoke with grace.
”Once again, thank you,” she said with quiet sincerity. “Thanks to you, Shinji-san, I was able to meet my disciples again. I’m truly grateful.”
”No, no,” Shinji replied with a faint smile, rubbing the back of his neck. “I didn’t really do anything on the way here.”
”That’s not true,” she said gently, lifting her head. “Having someone I could rely on changed everything. Because you were with me, I could focus entirely on searching.”
Her words were polite, soft, and humble—clearly revealing her personality to both Shinji and Freri. If she hadn’t been introduced as an Apostle of a goddess different from Arian, Shinji might’ve assumed the summoning was simply a fluke.
But with the divine involved, Shinji couldn’t shake the feeling that something beyond human understanding was at play. Even if Luluane believed it was all an accident… the truth might be another story. As he kept his doubts hidden behind a calm face, Luluane turned to her disciples, and Shinji followed her gaze.
”These two are my disciples,” Luluane said with a nod. “They haven’t been officially acknowledged by the goddess yet, but they’re traveling with me as trainee Apostles. Both of you, please introduce yourselves.”
”Yes, Master!” the two girls responded in perfect unison.
Though their dresses were the same design—high-slit qipao-style robes with tightly fitted curves—the color distinguished them: one wore blue, the other red. Both had white pants underneath to avoid revealing skin, and each carried a matching naginata with identical patterns. One glance was enough to see they were disciples of Luluane.
