"I don't...this surely isn't necessary!" Natalia barely managed to stammer as he easily began to carry her in his arms. My, but he was rather strong!
But she had to admit that she was a little tired, and that was shameful. A battle like this wouldn't normally drain her so heavily, but she'd only just begun using this world's Jobs. It left her with a far more limited reserve of stamina and magic, and likely would continue to do so unless she got more training and experience.
Regardless, she didn't put up much of a fight. There was no quicker way to bond with someone than to fight for their lives side by side as a team. Seeing the way he treated her now made her ashamed for snipping at him about such trivial things like his handwriting.
Natalia was quiet for a moment. When she spoke, her voice was softer, and humbled, and there was definitely a rosy blush staining her fair complexion. "You fought very well. It was wrong of me to treat you so harshly in our letters." His attitude had frustrated her, but that was no excuse. He'd still come to save these people, and that made him someone she could respect. "Please, if you would. Call me Natalia. After all of that just now, there's truly no need for such formality."
