Sword Princess VS City Girl (剣姫VS街娘), SS from DanMachi Light Novel Volume 9
"Ah..." "...?"
Raising her head due to hearing a voice from ahead of her, Ais saw a light gray haired girl in front of her.
It was past noon on a certain day. Hearing that a "new Jagamarukun store had opened", Ais had been in the process of making her way through the city to check it out.
The girl, whose eyes were the same color as her hair, widened them out of surprise, and Ais tilted her head until she realized who the girl was.
She was an employee at the Hostess of Fertility pub that the Loki Familia often visited. If she remembered correctly, her name was Syr. It took her a while to figure it because Syr was wearing a straw hat, a clean white dress, and was carrying a large basket. She appeared to have been gone somewhere and was currently smiling at the pub's frequent customers.
"Hello, Sword Princess-sama. Were you on a walk?"
"Hello...um...yes, I was"
Unable to straightforwardly say that she was looking for the new Jagamarukun store, her face reddened slightly.
As the casual clothed beauties greeted each other, Syr's eyes gleamed.
"Come to think of it, you've given Bell Cranel-san a lap pillow before, haven't you?"
"!?"
Ais was shocked. How did she know about it?
While Ais wondered if she'd let it slip at the pub, Syr pressed on by blushing.
"To tell the truth...I've been given a lap pillow by Bell-san"
"!?"
Ais was shocked for the second time.
Huh, wait, she said she was given one...as Ais' agitation was spurred on, Syr embarrassingly hugged herself.
"On top of that, Bell-san was so intense and passionate in giving me a lap pillow...!"
"!? !? !?"
Intense!? Passionate!? There was a way to give a lap pillow like that!? Ais was confused!
The witch like girl had dramatized the story but Ais had no way of knowing that.
Ais stood still as she widened her eyes and dizzily kept on changing her complexion.
"Hey, the Sword Princess' changing her complexion from red to blue and back again" "Gulp, the Sword Princess' being cornered...!" "Good city girl Syr Flova-chan...who is she?"
Citizens, adventurers, and Gods watched the first class adventurer and the pub girl.
The onlookers all held their breath as they cast gazes of fear and shock toward them.
