Chapter 7

EP.7 Reunion – 2

Her voice was quite shaky. Clearly, it wasn't the kind of voice a hero who had defeated the Demon King should have.

She stood with her shoulders slumped, staring intently at the tips of her boots. I turned my body to look at her.

Clack, clack.

The sound of Claire's boots echoed through the corridor. How long did I walk, ignoring it?

I arrived at my room, and she followed me without saying a word.

Then, opening the door, I asked her, who was hesitating, "If you have something to say, say it."

There was no response. She only moved her lips, trying to find something to say. It would be a waste of time to keep waiting for her.

So, I went inside, leaving her behind.

How long had it been?

-Knock.

I ignored it. It's more important to check the future blueprint now.

-Knock, knock, knock, knock.

The role of the princess's teacher and the achievement of becoming an S-rank adventurer.

And what else... Ah, I haven't hit the jackpot three times at the casino yet. I need to do that, and I also need to achieve the "Ode to the Maiden" achievement.
