Second Chance

Chapter 9

When Shizue-san was running towards the wall she was choping up monster heads along the way so no-one questioned here seeing this sight. After making sure that monster has escaped first they started to treat the wounded ones. Like I said there wasn't anyone with serious injury. But still there was a chance than one of the monster was poisonous so tey first have to look for that. Shizue-san helped them by 'Asset and Anlyeze' skill. And they realized that no-one get poisoned. After that everyone came inside of the walls and the moment they step in cheres from all of the sides erupted. Town's people weren't able watch this but hearing monster voices being become distant they too realized that knights won. And there wasn't any heavy wounded which made them more glad.

But in mids of all of that Shizu-san was quickly getting away from the scene so to prevent that I ask Head Knight about her in a casual manner.

"By the way who is that person?"

"!!! Hm, I don't know either."

"Well, then just go and ask she help you out right?"

"You are right. It is only a proper manner to thank her and to you too."

"Well, I am not going anywhere."

After that Head Knight went toward Shizue-san with quick steeps and I followed him. And when I first ask him he got a little startled. I guess it was beucase he still wasn't able to feel me coming.

With that we quickly went next to Shizue-san she felt us coming cause when he were still walking towards her she suddenly stopped and glanced towards us. Well I don't know if I can glance cause her mask covering her eyes too, but I felt like that.

[It was a glance.]

Yep, I was right.

Then Head Knight started to speak with after we cathc up.

"I am sorry lady but can who are you?"

"An adventurer."

"I see. Thank you for your help. And since you are an adventurer if you come with me we can give you an offical payment."

He turned and looked at me in the mid sentence then look to Shizue again.

"Sorry, I don't need it."

Shizue-san answered like that and was about to go away but I started to talk before that.

"Yeah me too. Rather than that can't you show us a proper inn."

When I said that Shizue-san stopped and looked to Head Guards too.

"Of couse we have a good inn, let me show you."

Head Knight take the lead and we followed behind him. Cheers was still continuing so I had to raise my voice a little.

"By the way what is your name?"

And I finally asked her. Hearing that Head Knight turned towards too.

"Shizu."

Shizu? Hmm... Right she wasn't actually using Shizue right.

After that Head Knight spoke up to.

"My name is Thomas nice to meet both of you."

"I am Sora. Nice to meet you to."

Shizu just nodded her head in response, geez. I knew she wasn't actually talkative type but at least talk a little after all these years will you.

Well she actually just met me but still this is not my problem.
