In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Sure enough, it was just as Huafalin said.

When Maria encounters something that confuses her, she always does something very cute with a blank expression...

Thinking of this, she came back to her senses.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet, right?"

As the girl spoke, she also took a step back and bowed.

The gentle body is like a blooming white flower.

"My name is... Theresa."

“Theresa…”

Maria thought, her eyes lowered.

She mentioned this name in the letter she sent to Lamaren yesterday...

Theresa is one of the folk heroes who is gradually becoming famous in Kazdel.

Her brother Tracy was once the royal guard of the Demon King Lesh, and he went to war with the Demon King. When the Demon King died suddenly, he and his sister were also on the front line. After the disaster, the two of them almost forcibly formed a team of 10,000 people from the defeated army, withdrew from the front to Kazdel, and conveyed the situation of the Demon King.

Although the battle records of both sides are not so obvious, just this one thing can show their strong leadership.

In the midst of the rout, he was able to gather ten thousand soldiers in time and lead them back to the royal city in an orderly manner without any supplies...

This is considered hell-level difficulty.

But with the cooperation between the brother and sister, they actually did it!

This also earned them the respect of many Sarkaz soldiers.

Even after returning to the royal city, they spontaneously rallied around the brother and sister.

This would have been considered an act of usurpation in the past.

But now that the devil is dead, no one cares so much.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that the other party's existence makes Maria curious.

Maria never denied that there was a group of people who could not hide their brilliance even among the common people.

They have farsighted vision, strong mentality and sharp minds. They only need one chance to complete the transformation of their entire life.

But even so, the growth rate of these two siblings is indeed somewhat astonishing.

Especially Theresa... When she delivered the news to the Demon King, she had to face the panic and anxiety of the entire city.

But now it seems... Kazdel is not at all panicked by the Demon King's departure.

From this point of view, we can infer what kind of magic the girl has to soothe people's hearts.

There are even rumors that this girl has the potential to become the next Demon King.

Of course, such words are just rumors.

After all, the selection of the Demon King still depends on who Black Crown chooses.

No one can clearly explain what the selection criteria are for this thing.

All I know is that it will appear at the right time and to the person it thinks is right.

And after the death of the devil Elesh, there is no sign of it appearing again.

Maria nodded slightly as she thought about it.

After carefully observing the woman in front of her, Theresa became curious.

"What brings you out so early?"

"I just wanted to see the city."

"Just want to see the city?"

Theresa thought for a few moments, then smiled softly.

"If that's the case, do you need me to take you with me? I've lived here for many years, so I have some understanding of it."

"...Won't it be troublesome?"

"Will not."

Theresa seemed to be very interested in Maria. She spoke gently, her voice soft and ethereal.

"You may need to wait for a moment. I need to get some fabric..."

"Cloth?"

"Yes... I'm a tailor."

The girl spoke with a smile, and seemed not to be shy about her identity at all, and admitted it openly.

Such an open-minded attitude made Maria even more interested in him.

She had seen many kings who did shameful things before they became successful, but after they became successful, they all tried their best to cover up their past, as if they felt that it was not worthy of their current noble status.

But the girl in front of me...didn't seem to think so.

After thinking for a few moments, Maria nodded slightly.

"Can……"

……

The two began to walk together.

It turned out that Theresa was indeed very familiar with this city, just as she said.

She is like a ghost, always able to find a small path among various roads to cross and save time for herself.

Many of the roads can only be walked sideways... Maria was a little surprised by their narrowness.

How did the other party find such a path?

Of course, not every action like this goes smoothly...

"Forehead……"

Looking at the increasingly narrow gap in front of her, Theresa raised her fair face and gave Maria a mischievous smile.

"It's stuck..."

"..."

Maria didn't say much, but just gently reached out her hand and carefully pulled it out of the gap without hurting the girl.

During this process, Maria also realized why the girl was stuck.

Perhaps she had forgotten that she had begun to grow up.

"Thank you."

The girl blushed and was a little embarrassed.

In her memory, she used to walk here often some time ago.

But today, for some reason, I couldn't leave.

In other words, Maria was by his side. If she were alone, it would be too troublesome for her to get out.

No wonder Tracy was worried about her going out alone.

Fortunately, although things were a bit troublesome, the two of them still arrived at their destination quickly.

It was a small cabin in the middle of nowhere.

There should have been a lock at the door, but the lock had been roughly smashed open at some point.

Although she was prepared for this, Theresa couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she saw it all.

open the door.

Just as she thought, the room where she and her brother lived in her childhood was now empty.

All the furniture they had salvaged, built, and reworked was gone...

In the empty room, there are still a few places that hide unspeakable filth...

The girl sighed and then came to her senses.

She carefully moved a wobbly stool from the side, then stepped on it, tiptoed hard, stretched her hand high, and opened the subtle secret opening above her head.

Soon, a whole piece of exquisite cloth appeared in front of the two people...

“Sure enough, it’s still there!”

Seeing this scene, the girl's eyes also lit up a little.

But it was this moment of discouragement that caused her body to suddenly sway.

Then the whole person fell backwards.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her subconsciously put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes nervously.

Prepare to be hit hard by the fall.

But how could Maria let this happen before her eyes?

She didn't say anything, but just took light steps and quietly held the girl in her arms.

Theresa was like a princess. The expected pain did not occur, but instead she fell into Maria's arms.

Feeling the softness...

"Eh?"

The little girl widened her eyes in surprise.

She blinked and looked at the slightly cold face in front of her, a little surprised.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She stood up from Maria's arms with the cloth in her hands and bowed to her carefully.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Her words stuttered a little and her face flushed slightly.

Maria didn't say much, just nodded slightly and stopped her actions.

Looking at Theresa with such a calm and gentle demeanor, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Is that it?"

Maria tilted her head, her expression calm.

For her, helping someone out, just a matter of convenience, is not worth worrying about at all.

But Theresa just stared at the woman in front of her in a daze.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

"And that's all……"

She looked at the expensive cloth in her hand, her eyes full of thoughts.

Perhaps these pieces of cloth were not as good as the casual clothes Maria was wearing now, but for the girl, for her and her brother, they held a lot of meaning...

It carries the longing of two people who huddled together in this one room many years ago.

Gently stroking the small piece of cloth, the girl's eyes showed some nostalgia.

Maria did not disturb the other person, but looked at her quietly in silence.

After a while, Theresa came back to her senses. Looking at the woman in front of her, she bowed embarrassedly.

"sorry."

"Ok?"

"Actually... when we met, I wasn't completely unguarded against you..." Theresa said, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was apologizing for being wary of Maria. "I've actually... been trying to understand your thoughts..."

"I have a... rather special ability that allows me to know what the people around me are thinking. I've just been using this ability to test you. I'm really sorry!"

"I know."

Maria nodded. How could she not notice the girl's perception of her?

only……
