Chapter 103 – Mundane Happiness

I waved my hand as I approached Roxy. She responded in kind, as she walked down the terrace.

Roxy thanked the head maid who had brought us here, and then weled us with a smile.

[Thank you for responding to the invitation. Fai, Aaron-sama]

Her appearance stunned me, but Aaron quickly woke me up from my revery with an elbow jab to the side.

[Thank you for inviting us]

[It's nice that today's sunny. It's been snowing recently, after all.]

I could see that the sky is clear today. It's as if the gloomy thick cloud from yesterday was just a lie.

Winter had just begun. It'd be a while before spring e. And yet, today was warm as if it was already spring.

[It's snowed quite a lot for the a few days, and Aaron and I had to shovel the snow away.]

[I see. Are you planning to hire servants to work for Barbatos family?]

Roxy tilted her head slightly as she looked at me and Aaron.

Regarding that matter, I've left it to Aaron. The old man smiled, and replied affirmatively.

[I am planning to employ Mimir of the Burix family.]

[Eh! That Mimir Burix?]

Roxy's reaction was similar to mine. She seemed not only surprised, but also glad. Nodding silently, she then said to Aaron.

[That seems alright. Because it's Aaron-sama's decision.]

[Fumu. If you do not mind, please get along well with Mimir. After all, there are only me and Fate in the Barbatos family at the moment. Besides, Fate is, you know.]

[That's right, because Fai is like that….. Very well, I'll help cheer Mimir up so that she can start over more easily.]

[Thank you, Roxy.]

It's good that the two had collectively agreed to work together in supporting Mimir's rehabilitation in the days to e. But keeping that aside, there was actually one thing that bothered me.

[Roxy, I'm glad that you are willing to support Mimir. But what do you mean by 'Fai is like that'?]

[U~n, it's about that. Right, Aaron-sama?]

[Fumu. Exactly. It's about that.]

[Absolutely.]

[By the way, please this way.]

Roxy and Aaron headed to the terrace in a haste. Me and the head maid glanced at each other in confusion. I sighed, and proceed to follow them.

I wonder….what was 'that'? Even the head maid also seemed to be curious about it.

This was probably one of the few thing I could ask Greed for advice. That fellow was surprisingly reliable on such occasions.

[Hey, what was Aaron and Roxy talking about?]

『'That' is that, of course.You'll naturally understand once you've grown older.』

[Kuh, why does even Greed also say the same thing….]

『Oi, do you really have time to be bothered with that? Roxy is calling you.』

Somehow, I felt like I've lost this battle of wits regarding 'that'. Moreover, what was 'that' anyways? I set that annoying feeling aside for now, since it's a special occasion where Roxy invited us all. I hurriedly followed to the terrace.

A person stood between me and Roxy. A brown haired girl.

Eh, I think I'd seen this little girl somewhere before…. Ah, this girl, back at Gallia, she was one of the soldiers under Roxy's mand. I think her name should be Miria.

Back then, I still had the skull mask, and was heading towards the same enemy as the troops that Roxy led.

At that time, apparently thinking that I was an enemy, she attacked me with the magic sword Flamberge when I was about to approach Roxy. Yes, that's the one.

[I never imagine in a hundred years to see you here! Could it be that the skull mask from that time is you? I should've known it. Even if you are the head of Barbatos family, I won't let you get in the way between me and Roxy-sama!]

[Uaaa, be careful there.]

Who would've thought that she would swing the magic sword at me again just like that time at Gallia? This fellow, she didn't change at all since that time. Following Roxy hadn't had any effect on her apparently.

But the sword had been raised and swung. A sharp slash laced in fiery flame ing from the right to the left, along with an unreasonable plain ing from Miria.

[Damn! Just let me hit you for once]

[Are you joking! I'm also one of the guests here. Let's just get along already.]
