"Quon-Kamiya was more like a, how do you say, a sparkling woman, you know?
Although the man's voice was rough, Setsuna could tell that he had no ill will or hostility towards her just from the thick sound of his voice. And the appearance of the man stopped Setsuna's sinking heart and also gave her a chance to rise.
"What about that?
When asked, Setsuna raised her face, which had been downcast for some time. There were three men in front of her.
The first thing your eyes will see is the large man looking at you. From his position, he must have been the one who spoke to me.
The muscles that covered his massive frame, which must have been over two meters tall, were like well-honed steel, and the simple clothes he wore over them looked as if they were about to burst.
The wild look on his face could be said to match his muscular body. But it was not a bad face. In fact, he was wildly handsome. His appropriately long black hair, his beastly gaze, and his fierce smile seemed to be the factors that made him who he was.
Setsuna, however, was at a loss for a response. She didn't know what to say. It was true that he was right, he was not Quon. In addition, I agree with him that Quon is like a glittering woman. However, what kind of response would be preferable in this case?
In the first place, I don't think anyone has said that Quon is Kamiya herself.
I don't think anyone said it was Quon-Kamiya himself in the first place," said one of the people behind the big man, as if offering a helping hand to Setsuna.
Perhaps it was inevitable that the first thing that struck me when I looked at him was that he was long and thin. No offense to Setsuna, but it was a very natural first impression.
She was tall and slender. He was tall and slender, and while he worked out, he probably didn't have unnecessary muscles. Therefore, he looks somewhat unreliable, but I don't know what he actually is. However, even though he is tall, it may be inevitable that he looks a bit shorter than the big man.
In contrast to the big man, he had a beautiful appearance that suited the word "intelligent" well. His black-rimmed glasses must have helped to shape his intellectual image. I wondered if black hair and eyes were common in this world.
It's a grand misunderstanding, just like the Commander's.
The other man said in disgust. The other man, who had a vaguely youthful appearance, reminded me of a boy, but his actual age was definitely older than Setsuna. The word "youth" is more accurate.
He was shorter than the other two, but he was as tall or slightly taller than Setsuna. His body was somewhere between the two extremes, with a medium build. He had a medium build, though his well-trained body didn't show any unnecessary flab.
The most striking thing about him was his silvery head of hair. It was not platinum blonde, but an unmistakable silvery white, and its transparent beauty made his appearance stand out. His blue eyes also shone brightly in the midst of his well-rounded face.
His blue-based outfit looked more like a uniform than a military uniform. The sword on his back was just so long that it would not be easy to even pull it out. Of course, there was no way he was wearing something he couldn't handle.
And then the big man turned to the back and shouted.
What the hell! That makes it look like I'm in the wrong!
You're right, so it can't be helped, can it?
That's right. I think that the commander is the commander, so he should think about that before acting.
In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, then you're in the right place. I'm not sure what to make of this. In any case, she was caught up in the ridiculous scene unfolding in front of her.
The leader is the leader, that's a given! What are you trying to say with that? What?
The large man who was said to be the leader of the group raised his voice in anger. In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the most effective way to get the most out of your time.
The two men seemed completely unconcerned.
But the two men seemed completely unconcerned.
"Ha-ha-ha. I've always admired your tearful efforts to lighten the mood with trivial jokes, Lux, but I've always thought that you should consider the time, place, and person you're talking to before you do something like that, you know?
I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you have. In the event that you've got any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
(But it's a strong ...!
As Setsuna stared at the Commander's large back, she realized that she had clenched her fists before she knew it. She was not sure if her body had reacted to the viciousness that lurked in the Commander's voice.
The time is now or never, and the place is a park, but it doesn't matter. And if it's the Commander, so much the better!
The young man didn't seem to be phased at all.
"..., you're going to sink this thing, aren't you?
If you can, why don't you try?
If you can, why don't you try?
Oh, my God!
Commander and Lux, please stop it!
The childish, yet sweaty exchange of killing intent between the Commander and the young man came to an end when the slender man who had been silent opened his mouth.
For some reason, the lenses of his glasses seemed to glow.
"Or else.
"Or else ...?
The two of them spoke in unison.
"Hmmm. I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen, but apparently it had long since disappeared from both of your small, helpless minds. That summer day.
The man's tone was so condescending that it sent shivers down my spine just listening to him. He had an intensity about him, too. He was no ordinary person - he made Setsuna, who was still just a beginner, feel that way. He must be very skilled.
What came was a moment of silence.
The leader and the young man looked at each other, and then.
I'm not sure what to say.
With a unison of screams, the two of them ran off into the distance. It was already a tremendous speed. They must have run with all their might. They disappeared from Setsuna's sight in the blink of an eye.
There was nothing he could do but stare in disbelief.
"What the hell?
"Excuse me. You haven't told me your name yet.
The reason why the man didn't see through him and called out may have been because he took pity on us for being left behind in the situation. However, since he spoke in a calm tone of voice, Setsuna was able to look at him without worry.
In fact, the black eyes behind the lens were somewhat gentle.
We are members of the mercenary group Blue Wind. The larger of the two who had gone somewhere was the leader, Sigurd Fogliar. The larger of the two is the leader, Sigurd Forrier, who looks like a great guy. The smaller one is Lux Vane, the assault captain. The smaller one is Lux-Vein, the assault commander, who also does a good job. And I'm Jin-Claire, the second-in-command. Please make my acquaintance from now on.
"Ah, yes.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. The encounter was so shocking that their impressions and names would be strongly burned into her brain.
Then, Setsuna told them her name.
My name is Setsuna-Kamiya. I'm an armed summoner.
I'm just an acquaintance.
The fact that Faria added her name almost without pause was probably a sign of her own concern. Even though she was told a while ago how much of a difference there is between an unregistered summoner, Moguri, and a summoner belonging to an association, does she need to tell this to someone she's never met before?
Even if there was a situation that Setsuna didn't know about, it wasn't a pleasant one.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's not my fault that I'm not a member of the Continental Summoners Association.
You're not a member of the association?
"Yes, well, how should I put it... ...
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. There was no particular reason why she had not decided to join. It was just that she somehow felt that it was too early to join.
However, even with such a reason, Faria smiled and agreed with me.
Well, Setsuna also has various circumstances. As for me, I'm recommending that she join the association. I'd like to respect her wishes.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience.
