Chapter 104 – Embrace

Continuing my talk with Roxy, we sat down a bit away from everyone. Then our conversation shifted to the topic about Aaron.

I told Roxy how I first met him. While I was heading for Gallia, I stopped by a village by chance――that place was some kind of refugee to anyone who've lost their place for living, and also where I first met him. Despite that it was our first meeting, he took care of me, and even taught me the basic of swordsmanship.

After listening to my story, Roxy told me with pride.

[I know.]

[Un.]

[Defeating the Lich Lord, and liberating Hausen, right?]

[Why the!? How did you know about that? ….ah, I get it]

[I think you can already tell how.]

It was after I left Hausen. Roxy had stopped by Hausen which was just starting its reconstruction. Naturally she met Aaron there.

Certainly, when I and Roxy met again in Gallia, she mentioned that she had met Aaron. Back then, from him, I learned how to make the technique of Holy Sword Mastery 《Grand Cross》's effect to remain on my sword.

As if disappointed in me, Roxy inflated her cheeks and stared at me with envious look. But she immediately smiled back and said.

[Aaron-sama didn't say anything else when he reunited with Fai?]

[Un.

[Of course. It's Aaron-sama after all. Then, let's talk about that time.]

While Roxy was staying at Hausen and helped to reconstruct the city, Aaron also instructed her on handling holy sword. Apparently it was too hard for her to maintain the effect of 《Grand Cross》 in her sword. In the middle of all that, the Lich Lord who had been lurking around actually attacked.

[There was still a crown tier Lich Lord lurking there!? Why! Aaron didn't tell me anything about that…..]

[Because it's Aaron-sama. And it's a crown tier Lich Lord too. Aaron-sama used the same technique that Fai had shown him to defeat the monster once before. Now, what technique it was?]

Is it a quiz? It'll be quite embarrassing if I couldn't answer it.

Ermm, back when I and Aaron worked together, could she be referring to when I added my own attack to Aaron's?

[Could it be, the overlaying Grand Cross attack?]

[Correct! Aaron-sama even praised it. Holy Knights usually fight on their own, so the idea of layering another grand cross on top of each other was quite impressive. I thought so too.]

[Don't praise me too much….. It's not that big of a deal.]

[Will you try it with me next time?]

For some reason she stared at me intently. Also, our distance had bee too close. I had trouble replying her.

[So you don't want to….]

[Nono, that's not what I meant]

[Then, would you like to try it out here? Fai already brought his black sword, so let me fetch my holy sword.]

[Eee! Won't everyone be surprised if we try it in here?]

Roxy who had already stand up from her chair, looked back and seemed satisfied at my panicked reaction. She stuck out her tongue a little and said.

[Of course I'm just joking. I didn't think that Fai would fall for it though.]

[You….tricked me again]

Back when I was still working as an employee, she often playfully threw some tricks or jokes at me. I never thought, that she'll do that again now.

But the return of this happy times from the past was weled.

[How is Hausen's reconstruction going?]

[Ah, it's going pretty well. There was this acquaintance of mine, a warrior called Bardo, leading 50 strong warriors to maintain the security around Hausen. We are free from monster attacks thanks to their efforts. Other than that, my childhood friend Seto seems to be interested in starting a business in Hausen. I think that's all for now.]

[Ah, that's good to hear. Next time, if I visit Hausen, please introduce me to them]
