CHAPTER 101: HEROES

"Please forgive him!!!"

After the first girl screams at me, almost brandishing her sword, Anriette throws herself to the ground in front of them, her face kissing the ground as much as she can.

"We are so sorry that we didn't recognize immediately the heroes of legend. May Our goddess MEETIA and YOUR HOLINESSES ever forgive us. Please!!!"

Wait, they are the heroes? For real?

"Ah, yes. There were three meteorites that day." Yeah, I remember now. So that's what heroes look like. Well, they are pretty, that's for sure. Really pretty, in fact. It's almost to the point it feels unreal.

"What are you doing? Kneel already!!" Anriette holds my hand and tries to pull me down but she doesn't manage to. "Please, kneel!! Or we might be executed for this!!!"

"If we are executed because we didn't kneel in front of people who are here to save us, then what kind of justice is it?"
