Seiji strolled back to the weapons shop where he had encountered the dwarf girl earlier. His mind was focused on one thing—learning more about her. That sharp attitude, combined with her delicate features, had piqued his interest. She wasn't like anyone he had met before, and he wasn't about to let their first meeting be their last.
As he approached the shop, he spotted her rearranging some swords on display. He approached with a confident stride, smiling. "Hey there," he greeted casually.
The girl barely glanced up from her work. "You again?" she muttered.
Seiji chuckled, undeterred by her lack of enthusiasm. "Yeah, it's me. By the way, I realized I never got your name earlier."
The dwarf girl finally looked up at him, her sharp blue eyes studying his face. She hesitated for a moment before answering, "Pipra."
Seiji smiled. "Nice to meet you, Pipra. I'm Seiji."
