Was she surprised by my sudden touch? Frillite opened her eyes wide.
Because of her cool personality, she always had an expression that was hard to see through, so even I was curious.
'Is it that surprising?'
Can't I even do a little shoulder-to-shoulder with a fellow Hero? Ouch, isn't that a little too harsh?
"Friend..? Is this person Frillite-sama's close friend?"
The commander of the border guards, who had a hardened expression on his face, asked Frillite.
Frillite didn't give him a glance.
She looked at me with puzzlement reflecting in her eyes and opened her mouth.
"Kie—"
"Haha! You sure are one of a kind. Have you even forgotten my name? It's James. Remember, James~?"
She gave me a strange look for a moment as I interrupted her hastily and came up with a pseudonym. But soon she nodded her head lightly as if she understood something.
"Yeah, long time no see, James. What did you come here for?"
