Chapter 53. Unexpected reunion

Me and Kyle held our breaths at the same time. Through the mask, I could see that he gulped. Because of this guy, Asgard was……

“Master, please calm down. This is another country.”

“Ah…. thank you, Galatea.”

Perhaps sensing my emotions, Galatea interrupted me and Kyle to calm me down. It was a dwarf in a maid’s outfit who broke the silence.

“Oh, Ein, it’s been a long time. I was glad to hear from Gimli-ojisama that you’re back. I’m Ruby-Dwell, nice to meet you.”

“Oh, I’m Grace Vermillion, pleased to meet you.”

I was so taken aback by the friendly maid dwarf that I greeted her back, and the masked man …… probably Kyle joined me in greeting as well.

“My name is Cain and I was rescued when I was wandering around with amnesia. I’m her escort now. I’m looking forward to working with you.”

“Amnesia…..?”

“Yeah, that’s what I heard. He’s really good at magic and he’s killing mine ants. He’s been helping me a lot with the mithril I’ve been getting.”

I’m getting a dubious look on my face, and Ruby’s words make me even more confused. This guy is helping someone? What the hell kind of windbag is this? This guy looks like he’s about to make fun of them by saying, ‘hahaha they’re so pathetic to lose to a monster’. 

“Master. now before your audience with the Dwarf King. I thought this would be a good time to get together for a chat…..”

“I suppose so…..”

Nodding to Galatea, who whispers in my ear, I return the greeting to the self-proclaimed Cain. The audience is more important for the time being. And I don’t know how this guy did it, but he seems to have won Ruby’s trust. It would be unwise to argue with him now.

I return the greeting, stifling my emotions. Of course, I remember to be sarcastic.

“Oh, it’s nice to meet you, too. If you remember anything, let me know. I might be able to tell you something. Well, I may not be able to help you since my territory was torn to shreds by a stupid wizard.”

“Ugh.”

“Oh, good for you! Grace is a good one too!”

“Fufu, Ruby-sama is looking as good as ever.”

Seeing Ruby with a big smile on her face, Ein also giggled. Well, I’ll ask more about Kyle later when I see the time. First is the Dwarf King.

We walked side by side for a while until we came to a door with an armed dwarf.

“Welcome, my human guest and friend of the dwarves.”

Then the elaborately carved door was opened and a voice echoed. The audience chamber is not like those of the humans, but is a cavern hollowed out of the rock. At the far end of the huge round table sat a dwarf in splendid armor, and to the right of him sat Gimli, who was also dressed in splendid clothes.

I wondered why he was there and found Ruby sitting to the left of the Dwarf in fine armor, with the self-proclaimed Cain standing beside her.

“We royalty have been together for a long time. My brother Gimli has told me what has happened. It seems that Bowman is in your care. First of all, let me thank you for that. He was treated like a hostage when he left the country. I’m grateful to hear that he is enjoying a good life thanks to you, Grace-dono.”

The Dwarf in fine armor bowed deeply.

“My name is Alvis, and I’m the king of this land. Grace-Vermilion, I’ve been expecting you.”

And so I was given an absurd welcome. No, what did Gimli and the others talk about?
