Motan politely smiled at the petite girl in front of him, whom he had only seen from afar in the contestant preparation area the day before. She now had her beautiful silver hair braided in three strands, with sweet features and fair skin, and greeted Theresa Tarosa.
"Ah..."
Theresa was momentarily stunned, then shook her head with a slight blush and softly said, "Those words should be from me to you. Your accomplishments in Misha County and Sumer, Black Vatican Priest, are far beyond what someone like me, who has always lived in the comfort of academia, could compare to."
After fluently finishing this sentence, even Theresa herself was taken aback. She had hardly been able to communicate with strangers in the past, yet now, during their 'first' conversation, she acted so naturally, which was rather astounding.
"Let's forget about Misha County..."
Motan sheepishly rubbed the tip of his nose and said with a bitter smile, "How did the fuss I caused in Sumer spread here too?"
