Chapter 47: The Care for a Lady
Since then, I occasionally visit the Vankriff residence with my father. Priorly, my father has contacted Lawrence when he heads to visit Isabella who lives in a separate building from the main house.
Ellen: “Grandma!”
Isabella: “Ellen Dear! Please come in!!”
We hug and look at each other face while smiling cheerfully.
Lawrence: “Welcome, Lady Ellen.”
Ellen: “Grandpa, it’s been a while.”
When I smile and give him a proper greeting in a ladylike manner, Grandpa also replies to my greeting like a gentleman before we hug each other. This is how we exchange our greetings normally. Actually, if we follow the real code of conduct, I am not supposed to hug a butler. However, Lawrence is already like a real grandpa to me, so I always feel delighted to hug him.
Now that I have turned 12 years old, I stop calling my parents by Mom or Dad. I called them respectfully Father and Mother now……
Rovel: “It’s Dad.”
Origin: “And I am Mommy.”
Ellen: “……………………”
It seems that my parents prefer to be called like this……
Origin: “You also call Grandma as ‘grandma’, right?”
Rovel: “And Grandpa as ‘Grandpa’.”
Even though the two of them are smiling so sweetly with their eyes too, strangely I feel intimidated.
Ellen: “…………But I call Uncle Sauvell as uncle too.”
Rovel: “Ah, that’s right.”
As my parents’ attitude is relaxing a bit, I confirm their acceptance.
Origin: “Oh my, Sauvell. Don’t you want Ellen dear to call you ‘Uncie’ instead?”
Sauvell: “…………”
Ellen: “I won’t call him that! Definitely won’t!”
I frantically rejected the idea. Father is smiling at me who is annoyed from being treated like a child by the people around me.
Rovel: “That’s because Ellen’s appearance does not change that much. Even if you call us like that, it does not feel out of place. We are so happy about it.”
Yes. My appearance does not change so much after 4 years. My body just grows taller by 10 cm……… Currently, I am 130 cm in height, and if I forcefully stretch out myself, I will become 131cm. Normally, I should be 150cm!! I should be………!!
Ellen: “Ugh……I will grow bigger!!”
Even though I angrily beat Father’s stomach with teary eyes, Father looks at me with pampering eyes.
Rovel: “Ellen is really small and cute.”
I am currently in a great sense of crisis. Girls usually stop growing in the first half of their teenage years. When I look down at my chest, my face becomes really pale.
Today me, Father and Uncle Sauvell are walking to the mine that belongs to the Vankriff family. We secretly increase the type of things that can be mined here. Originally, this was a silver mine.
There are various types of silver ore; native silver, room temperature needle silver, high temperature argentite, ruby silver, silver that is made for the coin, a toxic antimony of sulfide mineral that is called pyrargyrite, a pink silver that can be found when you change the atomic composition and horn silver. In Earth, there are more methods of processing silver which produces vast varieties of silver. But perhaps these types of silvers are the types that originally can be found in nature.
In nature, it is impossible to produce diamonds easily in a silver mine. Respectively, each of mine always produces a certain type of ore or mineral. That’s because the mountain was created from different circumstances. To begin with, a diamond is created from an unpolished ore that comes from magma that is solidified under certain circumstances. For many years, it is usually being mined on a weathering flat continent.
As you can see from various diamond mines on Earth, they mine the diamond on the flat terrain by digging on the surface. This technique is called open cast. The method of silver mining is completely different. If you dig deep enough to excavate the diamond in a silver mine, without a doubt you will face a problem with the underground water.
But that is that and this is this.
This is because I am a spirit. Casting away the general practice of mining, I produce a small amount of kimberlite in a silver mine. In addition, I also produce some high-level quality of native gold which has a close affinity with silver. Native gold often contains a lot of silver in it, so it does not look artificial. And I make it again little by little. Although it Is produced in a small quantity, by the end of the year it becomes quite a sufficient amount
