Did they leave the group on their own before the accident, or did they communicate with each other later through the contracted familiars? Oh well, it's not something I need to worry about anyway, let them worry about it themselves! Maybe in the end I can just sit back and watch the show with a bag of freshly roasted sunflower seeds.
"Thank you very much."
She bowed again, then sat up straight and said, "In exchange, if you two don't mind, I can also serve as your bodyguard and safely escort you to your destination."
This is truly a stroke of good luck.
However, she was so sharp and intimidating when she came in, but now she's so humble... It feels like she's suddenly become a different person.
Although I still felt awkward about having a lady as my guard, [Frostsword] seemed to see right through me and said, "I am merely a sword. To keep a sword on a shelf and treat it as an ornament is an insult to the sword itself and its mission," silencing my remaining words and preventing me from saying anything more.
“Just in case I need to ask,” I interjected, “is there anything we need to give in return?”

Besides, these stone walls are already engraved with restoration inscriptions. Even if we leave them alone, they will automatically recover to their original state over time."
It really sounds like the words of a veteran who has repeatedly fought in the city.
“However, there is still one thing that puzzles me,” she paused for two seconds, a hint of doubt flickering in the depths of her calm eyes for the first time, “Since this member of [Dawnlight] calls you [Scholar], why don’t you try seeking help from the [Mage Mutual Aid Association] or the [Arcane Research Center] in the city, instead of posting a commission at the [Hailers’ House]? I believe you can find suitable battle mages there, instead of those useless scoundrels.”
"...Oh, this."
Can I say that I forgot?
And, this woman in front of me can be really sharp-tongued sometimes.
