Two things changed after we set off for Lokia.

First, I restored the color of Mia’s hair and eyes. She looked the same as me and Hikari at the moment, and we could have just left it, but having too many people with dark hair and dark eyes might actually make us stand out more. You couldn’t see my eyes because of the mask, but the mask attracted attention all on its own.

Besides, Mia’s original coloring—gold hair and gold eyes—suited her fair skin much better. When I happened to mention that, she turned bright red and looked down.

The other thing that changed was that we started doing some training before bed. Given Mia’s stamina, practicing during the day would probably still be a little too hard on her, but Hikari took the lead on teaching her how to fight while I was preparing dinner. Sera was self-taught in her own style of monster-fighting, so out of the three of us, Hikari made the best teacher.

First, Hikari taught Mia how to move, focusing more on self-defense than on defeating an enemy. The main exercise was for Hikari and Sera to attack Mia with mock swords so she could practice dodging them. Naturally, they were going quite easy on her, but the point of the training was just to get her eyes used to following quick movements.

Indeed, if she could learn to follow Sera and Hikari’s movements, she should be able to do the same with most monsters.

Ciel remained behind Mia to cheer her on, which was very considerate of her—you’d never be able to focus with such a cute cheerleading section in front of you.

Still, Mia’s training was in its early stages, and she collapsed to her knees once it was over.

“Good work today. Ready to eat?”

I gave her some soup I’d specially made to be edible even if you didn’t have an appetite. She wouldn’t have the stamina to move tomorrow without something in her stomach, after all.

“Thank you. I wish I could have helped... I’m sorry.” Mia took the bowl apologetically.

I’d repeatedly told her not to worry about it, but she didn’t seem to believe me. The unusual circumstances that had led to her signing a slave contract with me might have made her feel a bit like a burden.

Then, after we were done eating, she passed right out from exhaustion.

“Big Sis Mia is too hard on herself,” Hikari said.

“Agreed,” Sera said. “But I guess it’s only natural. She really wants to be with master.”

Hearing Sera say that with a straight face was a bit embarrassing, but I didn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea. What Mia felt toward me wasn’t love, but dependency. The expression of despair on her face when the people of the holy capital had called her a false Saint...that was something I could never forget. Just thinking back on it made me angry.

“Anyway, just make sure she doesn’t push herself too hard. If she passes out, I’m sure it’ll just make her more depressed.”

At my words, the two just looked at each other with a shrug.
