Chapter 1908: Ship Party 28

As I moved from the area where Shigenobu-san's group is hanging out to the next one...... I found another unusual combination. One of them was someone I know very well...... Noir-san, but the one with her was Rachel-san.

Rachel-san, the head of the Knight Order of Symphonia Kingdom, and Noir-san...... Ahh~~ Perhaps they knew each other back when Noir-san was active as an Adventurer?

[Hello, Noir-san, Rachel-san. Thank you for coming today.]

[Hello, Miyama-san. Thank you for the pleasant party.]

[If it isn't Miyama-sama, it's been a long time. Even though we've only had limited interaction, I'm honored to have received an invitation.]

Seeing Noir-san, who greets me with a gentle smile, and Rachel-san, who greets me with a neat bow, I couldn't help smiling.

[You two are acquainted with each other? I suppose it was when you were adventurers?]

[Yes, that's indeed the case. There are times when Knight Order and the Adventurers would jointly take down enemy units, so the Highest-ranking Adventurer at that time, Noir-san, and I often shared the front lines together.]

[How nostalgic. I'm very grateful to you for your help back then.]

As I thought, the two of them really had worked together in subjugating monsters...... I suppose they're so-called comrade-in-arms.

[No, phrasing!? It's a misunderstanding! You're getting it wrong!]

It's not like Noir-san was lying. However, the way she said it was so badly worded that Rachel-san didn't understand that she was talking about blood.

I mean, when she said it with flushed cheeks and an ecstatic expression on her face, one full of allure, even I, who knew the situation, couldn't help but be taken aback and my reaction was delayed.

[Come to think of it, Noir-dono lost her husband long ago, didn't you? I'm a Demon who was an Undead, and my husband is also an Undead, so there are some aspects that are difficult for me to sympathize with, but I'm genuinely delighted to see you finding a new love and becoming more positive.]

[Yes. Miyama-san already has a firm hold of my heart after all.]

[Wait, Noir-san!?]

The scenario has been completed with Rachel-san misunderstanding, and while Noir-san probably realizes the mistake, she doesn't seem particularly inclined to deny it, and instead seems to be going along with it.

Casting a fleeting glance my way, Noir-san had a mischievous smile on her face. It made me think that, despite their differences, being mother and daughter, there are similarities between her and Luna-san...... That aside though, how am I going to clear up Rachel-san's misunderstandings......

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Rather than kidding, I feel like Noir's nonchalantly being serious there.]
