Pursuing Her

“That person will be working alongside you, so it’s important to ensure that you two get along well.” It would be awkward if two people, who disliked each other, were to work closely together.

“I’m actually fine with anyone, but since you are giving me an opportunity to choose who I work with, I will take some time to consider it.”

“All right.”

Arthur invited Sophie and Tristan over when he heard that they were leaving soon.

The people in the tribal village had prepared their most formal ceremony to welcome them.

Had it not been for Tristan’s help, they would not have achieved the success they had. That was why they decided to give him the grandest welcome possible.

Tristan felt that his efforts were worth it when he saw how grateful the villagers were.

Arthur then fetched Sophie and Tristan two glasses of wine and said, “Mr. Tristan, this is part of our tribe’s welcome ceremony. Please accept this as a token of our appreciation.”

Tristan and Sophie then took the wine glasses over from him. Back then, Tristan would never allow Sophie to consume alcohol at all.

This time, however, he did not stop her because it was a special occasion. The two of them then downed their drinks in one go.

Sophie had always believed in treating others the way she wanted to be treated, so she reciprocated the tribe’s sincerity equally.

As the people in the tribe trusted Sophie, it was only natural that they trusted Tristan as well. With Tristan calling the shots in Fandar, the tribal villagers felt glad that they no longer had to suffer the way they used to, and they expressed their feelings of happiness by dancing.

It was simply that easy to satisfy the people in that tribe.

Tristan and Sophie danced along with the tribal villagers. Being a conservative person, this was the first time Tristan had attempted a dance like this.

Even so, the merry atmosphere was so enchanting that he found himself dancing along before he even realized it.
