Chapter 66: Finding A Place Is Hard! (6)

? Finding A Place Is Hard! (6) ?

Brigitte’s lab.

Tonight’s dinner was a steak bought on sale.

I bought it and grilled it myself, and it turned out so good that even Enkidus was surprised.

“Judas, to think you could cook anything other than eggs, amazing.”

“I find it more surprising that you’re eating meat. How did the rumor that you are a vegetarian spread among people? What’s your secret in reputation management?”

“That’s not very important. So, little Naru, was school fun today?”

Enkidus skillfully changed the topic and started talking to Naru.

Naru, as if she had been waiting for that, started to chatter.

“So the teacher asked who knows the answer? and Naru raised her hand! And then Naru stood up and said! Naru doesn’t know…!”

Dinnertime.

As always, Naru chattered a lot about what happened at school during the day.

Even if I wasn’t too curious, Naru always told me everything she did, so it was easy to imagine how Naru spent her day.

Listening to her story, it seemed like the teacher asked the children for the correct answer to a problem, and Naru raised her hand quickly and said she didn’t know.

Brigitte, who was listening to the story, served a little more asparagus on Naru’s plate and said,

“Naru, you don’t have to raise your hand and announce that you don’t know the right answer.”

“But Naru likes announcing things! I will do it again tomorrow!”

I see.

Her grades were rising slower than expected, but she seemed to enjoy school at least.

“I’ve made lots of friends! Yesterday, I had lunch with Morty, who was on milk distribution duty. Today, I played tag during break time with Robotomy, whose parents own a toy store!”

She seemed to have made many friends.

“Oh, holy shh! I wish it was morning already so I could go to school…! After lunch tomorrow, I’m going to pick flowers with Cecily and Elizabeth…!”

She seemed to enjoy going to school.

When I was in middle school or high school, I hated going to school and overslept every day.

I was late a lot.

But Naru seemed to enjoy every day.

Did I also enjoy going to school at that age?

When I was in the first grade in elementary school.

The only thing I remember is that I overslept every morning and how my mom scolded me.

It seems like Naru found school life itself to be fun.

While thinking about this, Brigitte spoke.

“Naru reminded me of how I also liked going to school when I was her age. I just waited for school time every day. On the contrary, I didn’t like vacations. I couldn’t go to school during vacations.”

She only waited for school time.

And she even disliked vacations?

I only waited for vacations.

I played hard and did all the piled-up homework on the last day of the holidays.

But Brigitte didn’t seem to do that.

I quietly imagined Brigitte’s school days.

She must have been an honor student, filling her schedule with classes.

Just like Hermione.

Sifnoi, who was having a meal at the time, asked as she forked a piece of steak into her mouth.

“Speaking of which, isn’t Miss Brigitte from the West…? There’s already a great educational institution called ‘Magic Tower’ in the West, why did you come to Graham Academy in the middle of this continent…?”

“Well, there were various circumstances. I lived alone in a dormitory at the age of Naru. Everyone was territorial, so it was very hard at first. But I got used to it later.”

It seems that Brigitte lived in a dormitory from the first grade of elementary school to the graduating class of high school.

Dropped in a foreign place with no family.

As someone who had suddenly come to the Pangea continent and suffered, I could somewhat sympathize with her hardships.

Then I suddenly remembered that I met a family member of hers today.

“Speaking of which, Brigitte, I met your sister today.”

“…Sister? Which sister?”

Brigitte’s face, which had been talking well until now, suddenly frowned.

It was as if she had heard a very unpleasant story.

“I don’t know which one. What was her name? Friede? Something like that. She was wearing an eye patch on one eye. She said she was a white magician.”

“Damn, it should be my older sister. You wouldn’t have had a good conversation with her. How did you meet her?”

Brigitte’s attitude was quite sharp.

Like that of an agitated hedgehog?

“I’ll leave the table first.”

Drag—

Enkidus, who seemed to think the atmosphere would become fierce, got up from his seat and left the lab altogether.

“Sifnoi! Let’s play Princess again today! Today, Naru is a princess who spews ice from her hands! Molumolu is Molumolu, and Sifnoi will play the role of being buried in the ground!”

?Meow.

“Hiiiik…! Why do you bury Sifnoi in the ground…? What kind of role is that…?!”

Sifnoi, Naru, and Molumolu also left their seats to play their strange roleplay game.

Only the leftover beef, Brigitte, and I were left at the table.

Brigitte asked again.

“What did Friede say? If she came looking for you, she must have had a purpose. Did she talk about me?”

“Well, it’s not much, she just asked for a request. She asked me to steal something. She didn’t talk about you.”

“…Request? What kind of request? Those rigid and stubborn people would never entrust a thief with a request. They would loathe to associate with someone like you.”

Brigitte seemed puzzled by the situation.

It turns out that the Walpurgis were very famous and noble aristocrats as the ‘Descendants of Primordials’.

In other words, they were ultra-noble among the nobles.

“Those people approached you and made a request? It doesn’t make sense. They see humans other than themselves as inferior creatures. They would be disgusted at the simple mention of you being a thief.”

“Like you when you first met me?”

I asked.

Then Brigitte subtly avoided my gaze.

“…Don’t talk about that time. I… I had my foolish moments too. Anyway, what kind of request did my so-called sister make?”

“I’m not sure about the details. She said she’ll talk about it later. I’ve received an invitation here. It’s an invitation for something about Walpurgis.”

“The Night of Walpurgis.”

Brigitte held her forehead with her palm.

It looked like a headache was rushing in.

Swoosh—

She stood up from her seat and headed towards the fridge.

Then, she grabbed the cork of a new wine bottle that hadn’t been opened yet and after pulling it out, she didn’t even pour the contents into a glass but took a few big gulps.

Then, she let out a sigh that smelled of alcohol.

“I came all the way to this far-off kingdom of Freesia because I didn’t want to see those people. It’s horrifying that they’re trying to take this place away too.”

I’m not a fool.

Rather, I was quite quick-witted.

Thanks to that, I knew well that Brigitte disliked her family.

That’s why I was careful when bringing up the subject.

When Brigitte gets angry, she becomes violent.

Fortunately, she seemed to have managed her emotions well and calmed down.

“Whoo, whoo. Hah.”

Swooosh—

She closed her eyes and took deep breaths as if she was meditating, then she slowly opened her lips.

“Honestly, I hate my family. They probably hate me too. I mean, they sent me off to study abroad just because they didn’t like seeing me when I was just six.”

“Is that so?”

“Judas, no matter what happens this time, I hope you don’t involve yourself in it.”

Brigitte crossed her arms.

According to my experience, Brigitte with her arms crossed was as solid as a turtle with a shell.

It was impossible to persuade her.

Of course, I had no intention of persuading her.

I didn’t want to meddle in someone else’s family affairs.

I’m not a know-it-all who would meddle, am I?

Just let it pass.

“I’ll do as you wish. Though, I’m thinking of attending. That witch’s night or whatever. Naru seems to remember something.”

“……”

“Do you know what a homunculus is? Your sister called Naru a homunculus.”

“……!”

I asked Brigitte about the word I was curious about.

Then Brigitte opened her mouth wide as if she was very surprised.

“That…that’s…!”

Her pupils dilated, her breathing became rough, and she looked very tense.

It was like being stabbed in the stomach by an unexpected dagger.

Soon, Brigitte spoke while rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

“I guess I have to go too. To the Night of Walpurgis.”

* * *

“Moving in this is so uncomfortable. This damned prison-like outfit costs 5 million Arcs per set?”

An outfit worth 5 million Wons.

It was the first time I had worn it, although it was just something I stole.

Brigitte adjusted the tie around my neck as I frowned uncomfortably at the dress suit I was wearing.

“If you don’t dress like this, you can’t participate in the Night of Walpurgis. It’s a show where all sorts of wizards and witches come and show off. But no matter what you wear, you can’t hide that you’re a thief.”

“Is that so?”

I looked at the long mirror.

My reflection looked much neater and gentlemanly than I had expected.

Just like a groom going to his wedding.

“Dad, look at this! Naru is wearing a dress! Don’t I look like a princess?”

Swish—

Naru tugged at my sleeve.

She was wearing a black dress and it suited her very well.

Just by wearing the dress, her princess power seemed to have risen from C- to at least a C+.

I heard that you can’t turn a pumpkin into a watermelon by simply drawing lines on it, but it seemed that, indeed, clothes do make the man.

I decided to compliment Naru honestly.

“Well, what do we have here? You look like a mafia boss’s daughter. Like a Princess of the Back Alleys.”

“Naru is the boss’ daughter..!”

The daughter of a mafia boss.

It wasn’t that wrong of a statement now that I think about it.

I was laughing with Naru when Brigitte came in after changing her clothes.

She was wearing an evening dress that shimmered like silk, had an extremely high hat on her head, and a scarf made of black fox fur around her shoulder.

She was wearing white gloves on her hands and carrying some kind of leather handbag. She looked exactly like an actress about to receive an award at a ceremony.

“Brigitte pretty!”

Naru lifted her hands up in exclamation.

Kids are honest.

I nodded in agreement as well.

“You look incredibly strong.”

She looked like a lady going to get a refund at a department store.

Of course, I didn’t say that out loud.

It was because Brigitte was calculating with a serious expression.

“Black panther fur scarf with a silk dress…A bag and shoes… A party dress for children and a men’s dress suit. A total of 35 million Arcs.”

35 million?

That was a huge amount.

Wouldn’t this be a tremendous burden for Brigitte as well?

“Hey, isn’t this too much? It seems like you’re paying more attention to your appearance than when you went to the ball of the Freesia Duke.”

“I have to do this much.”

Brigitte quickly wrote a check, grabbed Naru and me by our arms without even looking back, and pulled.

“Let’s go.”

“Uh.”

I was dragged out of the shop in a daze.

It was already evening.

It was the Night of Walpurgis, when witches and wizards would gather and hold a classy party in the palace.

The event was hosted in the Duchy of Freesia.

Brigitte spoke with a very nervous expression.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen. So don’t let your guard down. And Judas, if the wizards find out you’re here, they’ll definitely be rude. So be prepared in advance.”

“It’s okay. They can’t be ruder than me.”

“……”
