“And… it is such an honor for a person of your status to remember my name.”
Lia said nothing, only smiling back, looking as calm as ever. Instead, Joke who was standing next to her unconsciously straightened his back as he swiftly returned to his alerted state.
“Your nose is as exceptional as ever. You always manage to approach the brightest star of the party, huh, Black?”
The next moment, another voice joined in. The tone was gentle and playful. At the same time, a moderate-sized man appeared. He was wearing a black vest over a white shirt that had its sleeves folded up to his elbows. The brooch with the emblem of the captain of “Saint Unicorn” was on his chest.
“Don’t misunderstand me. I only think it’s proper to come and greet her.”
Black Wizard replied with a light smile, while the newcomer came closer and immediately extended his hand toward Lia.
“Long time no see, ever since that tournament three years ago. You are a lot more radiant than the last time.”
