After Alice gave a brief explanation and disappeared, I took a quick look around. Iām pretty sure that Kuro has sent word to Funf-san, and weāve agreed to meet in front of Kuroās gateā¦ā¦ but I canāt see anyone who seemed like theyād be Funf-san.
[ā¦ā¦Itās almost time for the appointment, isnāt it?]
[Yes. I feel bad to keep her waiting so long, so itās time weā¦ā¦]
[However, it seems like Funf-san hasnāt arrived yet huh.]
Hearing my words, Sieg-san tilted her head, really looking like she was wondering what I meant, but it seems like she realized something soon.
[Thatās right, isnāt it? Kaito-san hasnāt met Funf-sama before. Funf-sama has been here since a while ago. Sheās waiting for us to finish our conversation.]
[ā¦ā¦Errrā¦ā¦ All I see is a gate and that humongous armor though.]
In the direction that Sieg-san pointed, all I could see was the gate of Kuroās houseā¦ā¦ and that humongous armor-like object in front of it.
Even so, that humongous armor really is quite intense. Itās definitely over 20 meters, looking like a giant robot.
[Even among the Count-ranks, Funf-san is one of the most powerful ones, and being one of the Six Kingsā executives, she has a variety of nicknamesā¦ā¦ but she was most famous for being the āPortcullisā Giant Soldierā.]
[That giant armor over there is Funf-sama.]
ā¦ā¦I see, that giant armor wasnāt just there as decoration, but Funf-san huhā¦ā¦ Arehh? But if thatās the case, I think that that giant armor was there when I arrived at Kuroās home last time tooā¦ā¦ and I think Kuro said Funf-san was outside when I came to visitā¦ā¦ Arehh?
As I was feeling a little confused, the huge armor that had been immobile until then started walking towards us, each of its steps making a loud sound.
W- What an amazing intensity. But why did it start moving nowā¦ā¦ Ahh, itās because itās time for our appointment huh.
Just like that, the giant armor moved to a stop just in front of us. Immediately after, the 20-meter tall armor collapsed into pieces, turning into magic particles before falling to the ground.
Then, when the huge armor completely disappearedā¦ā¦ In its place stands a woman. It was a woman so small in comparison to the armor she was wearing, having the average height for a woman, not even reaching 160cm. A girl with short pink hair and dark brown eyesā¦ā¦ and a tight-fitting bodysuit that clearly shows off her excellent proportionsā¦ā¦ Is she Funf-san?
[We have been expecting your arrival, Miyama Kaito-sama, Sieglinde-sama. Iāve heard about you from Kuromu-sama. Nice to meet you, Iām Funf, the gatekeeper of Kuromu-samaās castle. Itās a pleasure to make your acquaintance.]
[Ah, y- yes. Iām Miyama Kaito. Itās also a pleasure to make your acquaintance.]
[Iām Sieglinde. Itās an honor to meet you.]
With movement as refined as a knightās, Funf-san bowed her head with her hand on her chest. Seeing her greet me like that, I couldnāt help but straighten my posture and returned her greeting.
Thereupon, Funf-san stared at me for a momentā¦ā¦ and smiled.
[Well, that should be enough for the formal greetings, right? Iāve heard from Kuromu-sama that itās better if I talk to you in a relaxed manner, but is this tone of voice alright?]
[Kaito and Sieglinde it is then. Iām glad that I could meet you. Ah, itās alright if you also talk with me casually.]
Iām gladā¦ā¦ How should I say thisā¦ā¦ Just from talking with her for a bit, I could tell that she was a kind person. She also had this dependable aura around herā¦ā¦ wait, arehh? The color of her hairā¦ā¦ āIt changed from pink to blonde?ā
[ā¦ā¦Arehh? Funf-san, your hair became blonde?]
[Unnn? My hairā¦ā¦ Hmmm, could it be that it was pink-colored earlier?]
[I see, ahaha. I guess I had been rather nervous earlier huh.]
Saying that, Funf-san wryly smiled, but Sieg-san and I only exchanged glances and tilted our heads. Thereupon, perhaps sensing our doubts, Funf-san explained with a bright smile on her lips.
[Have you two seen Megiddo-sanās hair change color?]
[I have the same constitution as Megiddo-san. When Iām in battle, or rather, when my body is clad with a lot of magic power, my hair changes color to pink. My hair had originally been blonde.]
As she explains, Funf-san showed us her hair color actually changing from blonde to pink.
I donāt really understand stuff about constitutions, but indeed, when Megiddo-san wants to battle, or if heās angry or excited, his mane would turn black.
It seems like her hair color changes depending on her mental situation and magic power.
[Incidentally, by changing my hair color like thisā¦ā¦]
[Other than color, it doesnāt change anything~~]
[Unnn, on the contrary, they would know that Iām in a battle stance. Well, itās not that big of a demerit though.]
ā¦ā¦She sure is very easy to talk to. She basically had a cheerful and friendly atmosphere, and the tempo of conversation easily advanced.
I think comparing them in itself is rude butā¦ā¦ Sheās several times easier to talk to than the Ten Demons.
