Before First Steps’s clan house stretched the main street, where people and carriages streamed past incessantly. A roughly ten-minute walk down the street led to a narrow path, and there, at the end, stood a red-roofed detached house—the home of Liz’s apprentice, Tino Shade. It was an adorable house, complete with a miniature garden planted with tiny flowers, a residence one wouldn’t typically associate with a hunter at first sight. It was a spacious residence for a single occupant; perhaps she’d been considering the prospect of having a romantic partner move in someday.

Visiting my junior’s house for the first time in a long while, I was searching for Liz. Not having a place to call home, she often stayed at either the clan’s training grounds, her master the former Stifled Shadow’s place, or her disciple Tino’s house, acting as if those were her own places. She truly was a free spirit.

After knocking and a brief silence, a low voice replied. It wasn’t the familiar voice she used when talking to me; it was her formal voice.

“It’s me; it’s me. I came looking for Liz.”

On a side note, Sitri was here with me too.

“Oh?! Master?! O-One moment please!”

Scrambling noises came from inside the house, followed by a moment of silence, and then the door slowly opened.

Peering through the gap, she broke into a wide smile upon confirming my face. After the restlessness that the events in the lounge had stirred in my heart the other day, I felt at peace now.

“Master! To think you’d come to my place! Please, come inside. I’m sorry, but Lizzy is in the shower—!!!”

That was as much as Tino had said. Upon seeing me, Tino blushed and fell silent with her eyes wide open.

It wasn’t my first time visiting Tino’s house, and she’d always welcomed me warmly. I must say, she was such a good junior.

“Sorry for the unannounced visit... I’ll be on my way as soon as I collect Liz...”

“No, no, no. Not at all! If, um, it’s all right with you, Master, you’re always welcome to visit, even if just to hang out without any specific reason...”

She’s so sweet that I almost can’t believe she’s really Liz’s apprentice. But well, I rarely leave the clan house, so I won’t actually come here “just to hang out.” Her thoughtfulness is truly heartwarming though. I should take her out for some cake next time.

“That’s right! I’ve actually bought some delicious tea and cookies in preparation for Master coming at any time. Lizzy will take a while in the shower, so please help yourself to some treats!”

Seeing her in such a gleeful mood somehow made me feel kind of sorry.

As I was about to step inside following Tino with her blooming smile, Sitri, who’d been silent behind us all the while, spoke in a quiet voice, “I’m here too, you know, T?”

“Huh...? Uh...S-Si...ddy?!”

Her smile vanished in an instant.

Tino called Liz “Lizzy” out of their sisterly bond, and so she referred to her younger sister, Sitri, as “Siddy.” And although only Liz was mentoring Tino, Tino also addressed Lucia as “Lucy.
