Chapter 62 – Mixed Color
My heart was quite shaken due to this turn of events.
But it should be alright. Thanks to the Skull mask's recognition inhibitor, Roxy won't know that I'm actually Fate. Perhaps, she'll simply think that I'm an eccentric guy with a suspicious-looking mask.
I opened my mouth and was about to reply to Roxy who was looking at me, but I stopped myself.
That was dangerous…..I was about to say what I used to say when I had been working as her servant.
I'm not her servant anymore so if I were to speak humbly to her, she might suspect me. I guess it's better to talk roughly like a warrior should.
[So what if it's me?]
I said that and waited for Roxy's response. I was sweating bullets under the skull mask.
She said while pointing at my feet,
[Please retreat from there first. I feel sorry for them for being stepped on by you.]
[Oh, oops.]
Apparently I had unknowingly stepped on the fallen warrior from earlier. I did do it deliberately before, but I didn't mean to do it again on exit.
However, Roxy's appearance had shaken me so I accidentally stepped on them again.
I felt bad of course so I looked down on the still-unconscious warriors.
Although it might be useless, I tried to spin an excuse for this situation.
[It was legitimate self-defense. I merely fought back when they attacked me.]
[I see….so that's what happened.]
Roxy put her hand on her chin as she gave the 8 fallen warriors a glance and nodded.
Four of them were still holding their weapons so I thought she'd be able to tell that they had indeed attacked me.
After observing the 8 warriors, she asked the facility staff and heard their stories. I see, not only did she listen to the testimony of those involved, she also did site verification and asked information from a third party.
In this case, it should be proven that I was involved in a scuffle with them and that they attacked me first.
After thinking for quite a while in the corner, Roxy dispersed the staff and finally said [I understand the situation now.]
She came, walking towards me. Unlike before, I was calmer now.
I felt something strange when she came next to me.
Ehh!? Was Roxy this small?
Back in the Kingdom, I had to look up a little since our eyes didn't match. But now, I feel that I had to look down slightly.
Could it be that Roxy had shrunk!? No no, that's not it.
Now that I think about it, my clothes do feel shorter than before……I guess I'm growing taller.
I've been constantly fighting to get here, so I didn't really notice. Perhaps it's because my diet has improved and I absorbed a lot of nutrition thanks to that.
When I was still working as a gatekeeper under the Burix family, I had to make do with small meals due to my small salary. After I became Roxy's servant, I was able to eat more delicious meals and now as a warrior, I'm able to eat more nutritious food.
The time when I was with Myne, she tended to squander a lot on meals. Of course, it was all at my expense.
