Chapter 90: Old Friends

"Suzanna!" a voice called from the other side of the street.

The group stopped in its tracks, and everyone turned to look for the source of the voice. A young man in his twenties with a longsword on his hip hurried across the street. It was evident from his badge that he was a junior swordsman. "Suzanna, oh god, it’s really you!" he said, rubbing his hands together excitedly.

"Vonmerg? What are you doing here?" Suzanna looked surprised, but happy.

"You were the best among all of us, but then you just disappeared. We couldn’t stay there anymore, so we came here," the young man said, extending his arms. "It’s so good to see you again!"

Suzanna took a step back and avoided his embrace. "You haven’t changed at all," she said.

Vonmerg laughed awkwardly and turned his gaze to Anfey, "And this is…?"

"This is Anfey, our leader, and Christian, our deputy," Suzanna introduced.

"Greetings," Anfey and Christian nodded.
