Side Story 11

"...Who?"

Perez frowned slightly.

It seemed unpleasant that someone he couldn't remember knew him.

"It's Lydia!"

The woman said her name again.

But Perez still had a face that he didn't know at all.

"You have different hair colors, but I'm sure you're Sir Herox..."

The woman murmured embarrassingly at Perez's cold response.

"It's strange... there's no way you can't remember me."

There's no way you can't remember?

What was your relationship?

I felt one of my eyebrows wriggling.

"My parents run "Gray Rest" over there. Until three years ago, whenever you stopped by the South, you used to stay with your friends..."

Three years ago?

Three years ago, in the South, after the accident in Ivan, it was just before Larane moved to the East.

At that time, Perez moved secretly in the South to meet Chanton Sushou to dry up Angenas' money.

"Ah."

As if Perez had thought of it too, his eyes blinked once.

It was only that, but Lydia's face brightened as if it had been lit by a light.

"Yes! Now do you remember? It's me, Lydia!"

"Come to think of it."

Perez tilted his head, as if tracing his old memories.

"To say that Lydia..."

"Oh, by the way, that was three years ago! I'm an adult now!"

"So is it."

"I almost didn't recognize you because your hair color was different!"

The story between the two of them continued.

It wasn't a coincidence.

It was completely intentional.

From the beginning, Lydia was glancing at me next to Perez.

So did I.

It was the same here that her presence bothered me.

I did not avoid Lydia's gaze, whom I met for a moment, and looked at her.

And I looked at her carefully.

Brown hair and green eyes.

Unlike me, she had calm hair without curly hair and gentle features.

Still, the resemblance that could not be ignored scratched my nerves.

"Well, Sir Herox..."

Lydia frowned at me and opens her mouth.

"Who is that..."

Perez was then uncharacteristically surprised by 'ah' and looked back at me.

And for a moment, I saw the look of the guy who was startled.

Okay, now it seems you're getting the hang of it, don't you?

Perez, who saw my cold expression and swallowed his saliva, hurriedly said.

"Ah, this one..."

"Nice to meet you, Lydia."

I elbowed Perez's waist and took a step closer to Lydia.
