369 Returning to the Chaotic Land

"Stella, this is Calliope. She's one of my colleagues when I was still an Apprentice Knight."

Diether introduced Calliope as they boarded the carriage. Stella already heard about this girl from Rufus when Diether picked her up in the Arcanist Tower. 

They greeted each other and became easily comfortable with each other. Diether and Rufus were impressed by this as they decided to chat while they are traveling.

The one driving the carriage is, of course, Rufus. He's not new to this at all. As a matter of fact, he had recently improved the carriage's wheel so he wanted to try it. This is to make sure that their ride will be comfortable on this rocky road. 

"Stella, I heard from Diether that all of you are practicing Kendo. Do you think I can learn it as well?" Calliope asked.
