Book 4: Chapter 49
** Dark Elf Treetop Settlement **
Anastasia constantly thought about Reiji. He was a complete mystery to her.
He seemed to have dyed his hair. There have been times when he went out somewhere in the middle of the night, and the color of his hair was slightly changed the next morning.
When he said he worked as an escort for a noble in the Kruvan Holy Kingdom, Anastasia doubted it, considering his age. But when she considered his strength and abilities, she was convinced.
Anastasia thought Reiji must have surely received higher education. He was good at hand-to-hand combat and also able to use magic.
She has not asked Reiji why he chose to become an “adventurer”. As she was not familiar with the adventurer trade, she incorrectly concluded that it must be because adventurers can earn a lot of money.
Reiji was her benefactor.
He cured her of her peculiar constitution. And after coming to the Back World, Reiji was her only sunshine.
So, when Reiji went to check the crashed airship, Anastasia felt like her heart was being crushed every day she spent in Dragonewt City.
