Departure For Ainzlark

Once the emotional outbursts were finished, Anabelle and I began conversing normally.

We discussed at length, talking about my adventures during the three years I was absent, as well as how she coped during my absence. I intentionally omitted certain parts of my adventure—especially the part about my stay in the hideout I made with my friends back in the day.

'That's the most important part of my journey, but… she doesn't need to know about it.'

Anabelle listened to my stories with amazement—especially after hearing how many amazing beasts I encountered—as well as a great deal of the world I explored. Based on her reactions, it was obvious that she was never able to travel the world since she was restricted by her noble status and responsibility.

'Despite her wild personality, Anabelle is actually the epitome of nobility…'

…At least, to the public. During our conversation, though, she never filtered her speech.

Occasionally, words like—

"You're just like your father!"
