First Meeting with Reese
Translator: Masakibluei
In this world, there are two types of people .
People who always be on time with their appointment and people who always be late . Personally, I consider myself to be the previous type, and somehow, the other person who I am supposed to meet with is the later type . I have been waiting roughly for almost 30 minutes . Because I have been waiting for so long, the thought that I might have mistaken the meeting place and time has also come to my mind . However, before I left, I had confirmed it out so many times . In addition, the person who set up the appointment was Jin, and considering his personality, there should not be any miscommunication about meeting place and time . Therefore, it most likely that Reese from the Valkyrie is late for our appointment .
From now on, I will rely on her to teach me Thief arts, but I feel a little bit anxious . Is she a good person? Although Jin had told me about her, I hope she is not a troublesome person . In the first place, I’m unsure that Reese will come here .
I begin to worry and start to look around . But I do not find a person with her characteristic . Well, even if I start to get impatient, it won’t help her to come here quickly . I should just wait patiently……
After I decide to wait for her patiently, Reese finally come after an hour later .
Reese: “Hiiii, sorry, sorry . I make you wait a little bit . ”
A woman with both hands joint together appears in front of me and bows down lightly . She has a shortcut black hair . She is quite tall and she seems to be as old as Jin . She wears a small short sleeves white shirt with short brown pants which gives her a casual appearance .
Note: “I don’t think it was a bit though………”
Reese: “What a stingy guy . A man should always forgive a woman’s lateness with a smile on his face . “
She lectures me while hitting my shoulder like a close friend .
So noisy . My heart is not big enough to forgive a girl who is late for an hour and a half for our first meeting . Moreover, why she does not feel any guilt at all? At least, she should show an apologetic face for being late . Since I’m a considerate man, I won’t bring this up . Thus, I decide to keep it to myself not because I am timid and cannot talk back to stranger, I’m just being considerate .
Note: “You must be Reese-san, right?”
Reese: “Right! But you can’t call me that! From now on you are my disciple, so you have to call me Master! Alright?”
Note: “…………Haaa . ”
I don’t like a pushy person like this………
Even if you actually disagree, you will end up to let the other person do as she please . However by doing so, you will end up tired because you have to keep following her pace………Well, in the past, during my days as a stray adventurer, I used to deal with this kind of people a lot . It should not be a problem for me .
In the meantime, Reese continues to speak while completely ignoring my reaction .
Reese: “Are you the one in the rumor? The one who kidnap a little girl?”
Note: “I’m Note Athlon . ”
Reese: “Then I will call you the Little girl kidnapper . ”
Note: “Even though I gave you my full name so that you won’t call me that………”
Reese: “It’s easier to call you with the name that I have heard so many times . Then can I call you the Little girl Kidnapper?”
Woa .
This person…………don’t mess with me………
Moreover, isn’t this our first meeting…………?
Note: “Just do as you like . But I still prefer to be called Note . On the other hand, why do you want to meet up in a place like this?”
Our meeting place is a coffee shop in a less popular area in the Purith town . This location is pretty far from our party house and in the opposite side of the dungeon in the south of the city . I have never been setting my foot around here much . The place is quite desolate and I did not pass with much people on my way here . Except for the employee of the coffee shop, there is no other person inside the shop beside the two of us .
Reese: “This shop has a good ambiance . Don’t you think so?”
Note: “Certainly, I like the quietness but it’s quite far from the party house . ”
Reese: “Don’t say that . There are a lot of reasons why I chose this place . ”
Note: “Reason?”
Reese: “Even if you are pretty much a little girl kidnapper, you are still a man . If I am being seen together with you, it will be bad . “
Pretty much . Pretty much a little girl kidnapper but still a man .
She really drills into my patience .
Note: “It would be bad if your boyfriend sees us, huh . ”
Reese: “It’s not like that . Eh? Don’t you know? The story about our party leader?”
Note: “I don’t know at all……”
What story?
It’s been a while since I came to this town, so I do not know that much people in this town . I’m also quite ignorant about gossips so I completely do not know anything about other partys .
Reese: “I see . Then I will tell you about our leader . Our leader has a complete distrust toward man . It seems that she has a grudge with a man . ”
Reese puts both of her hands behind her head and continue with her story .
Reese: “Originally, she was a young lady from a famous sorcerer lineage family . But then she got into debt because of marriage fraud . Since then, she won’t accept any intimate relationship with men . ”
Note: “That must have been a nightmare…”
Reese: “Thus, she becomes an adventurer and dives into the dungeon in order to pay back her debt . Then she created a group only for woman adventurers, Valkyrie (The Revenge of Battle Maidens) . “
Note: “Her drive to take action must be great……”
Reese: “Because of this woman in her thirties, if a member has a scent of man on her, she will be immediately be expulsed from the party . Her head is really crazy . ”
She must be really crazy . Expulsion just because of that………
Reese: “Since she is such a person, this current situation is not beneficial for me . Though our leader thinks that this is just a business deal with Jin, but once she sees us together, she might think otherwise……”
Note: “What is the deal with Jin?”
