Book 2: Chapter 37
The escort waiting room in the 1st Holy District was crowded with many escorts. Hundreds of escorts were waiting in a large hall which was almost like a gorgeous outdoors banquet hall.
A pitcher with fruit juice and a jug of fresh water was lined on the table for self-serving. A number of escorts brought their chairs together and sat in a circle, after waiting for quite a while on the chairs which were originally lined up against the wall.
It’s been an hour since we came here. Maxim-san and his friends gathered around and took a break, but I killed time while observing the escorts.
Escorts did not have a uniform like the Knights Order. And if it were knights of a particular House, like Captain Maxim and his friends, you can see them wearing matching armor. But there were also some that made me wonder if they were truly escorts – because they have red hair styled in a mohawk, you see.
「The drinks here are delicious hyaha…」
I almost spit my drink when I heard someone say that. Is that “hyaha” your catchphrase? Dialect? A filth disinfectant?
「House Sillys’ escort–」
「Hyaha!?」
A sudden hand on my shoulder made a “Hyaha” escape my mouth. It made me spit my drink slightly, so I hurriedly took out a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped it.
