Because we took a bit of a roundabout path, it was already almost noon by the time we reached the market. Rit and I were sweating as we gathered the food.

“I got everything on my list,” she said.

“All right.”

I had split the things I wanted to get into two lists and given Rit one. The merchants at the market were not even trying to call out to draw people in. Perhaps the heat had robbed them of the energy. They were just fanning themselves from the shade of their stores. Thankfully, that meant no one tried to call us over, either, so we didn’t have to waste any time, which was good. Still, I couldn’t help a bit of a wry smile at the Zoltan-esque laziness of it all.

It seemed like Rit had a similar reaction, enjoying the experience for her part, since she didn’t usually go to the market.

“In Loggervia, the market is annoying, even in summer. Merchants would always start with pre-written spiels about how ‘Summer fatigue is a thing of the past ever since I started eating this every day,’ and all that rubbish.”

“My hometown was rural, so it didn’t even have a market. Various homes making different things and just gathering together to trade was all.”

“So that was what your hometown was like? But didn’t you leave to join the knights by the time you were eight?”

“Yeah. My only memories of my home are from when I was a little boy.”

Thanks to that, I wasn’t the kind of person who was particularly attached to my hometown. In fact, I was away from it for so long that there were times I even wondered if Ruti would forget about me… But the handful of times a year I came back, my little sister was always the first person to come out to the entrance of the village to greet me, faster than anyone else.

“Heh, that sure is nostalgic.”

But now she was getting along so well with Ares. I had never even noticed it developing.

“…I can’t really believe that.”

“Hmm?”

“I can’t imagine her ever opening up to anyone other than you, Red.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I don’t know anyone as scary as she is.”

“Scary?” For a moment, I thought Rit might’ve been joking, but the young blond woman’s expression was serious.

“When I faced off against her in the arena, it was the first time I realized what it meant to have goose bumps. Fighting her there was the scariest thing I’ve ever done. Scarier than any demon. So when I saw her fawning over you, Red—no, I should use your old name. When I saw her fawning over Gideon, I just couldn’t believe it.”

“Huh. Well, she definitely can be a bit hard to read.”

“I can’t begin to imagine her acting like that with Ares instead of with you.”

That was pretty high praise, but it seemed like Rit genuinely doubted the possibility. Honestly, even I was a bit worried about how my sister was doing, but…

“Well, Ruti is far stronger than me now.
