The appointed time. Ian stood before the mansion gates with Airi.
'Don't tremble so much.'
'I-I'm n-not...'
Airi, standing beside him, was vibrating visibly.
A high-ranking military officer was essentially a person of power in the city. It seemed she was far more nervous compared to meeting regular people.
The mansion gates opened, and Airi's trembling did not stop until they met Leona.
She could barely even remember how she walked inside and stood before Leona.
'I-I-I am Airi...'
Hearing Airi's quite impressive self-introduction, Leona asked back with a faint smile.
'A-A-Airi?'
'I am Airi!'
It was only after several deep breaths that Airi could properly re-introduce her name.
Having finished the greeting, Airi finally sat down next to Ian.
Once the introduction of the party was over, Ian delivered the gift he had brought to Leona.
'We're meeting for work, there's no need to bring something every time you come.'
