Vol 3: Chapter 45

After that, I talked a lot more with Lulusha-san. About old man Hinga, naturally, and also about Lulusha-san’s life. Mimino-san, Non-san, and Dante-san also came out and joined us while having breakfast. Zerry-san was still sleeping.

Lulusha-san met old man Hinga when she was really young, and they never met after that. Rather, the whereabouts of old man Hinga had disappeared.

At that time, the Forsha Kingdom still existed and Lulusha-san’s mother was still alive. The kingdom collapsed due to subsequent turmoil, and it became impossible to contact old man Hinga, it seems.

?I really enjoyed talking with you. Will you be staying in the Empire for a while??

When Lulusha-san asked, I looked towards Dante-san.

?Let’s see… We’ll probably stay until we decide on the next destination. I don’t think it will be too long, though.?Dante-san said.

?Lulusha-san, you should take it easy, too.?I said.

?Well, I can’t do that. I’m returning to work today.?

It seems that the Labyrinth Capture Division 4 has to be rebuilt soon. Still, Lulusha-san had a bright expression. I was wondering if she was so happy to be back in the Labyrinth Capture Division, but it seems that having a place she can belong to in this country where her parents no longer exist is the reason for her joy.

Lulusha-san returned home before noon.

?Such a strong person. If it was me, I would’ve wanted to take a break for a while.?Mimino-san muttered.

.

Despite her strong heart, I’m still worried for her.

I had noticed when I saw her body through?World Ruler?. She’s half Lev and half human, and she doesn’t seem to possess the ability to use skill orbs. But her appearance is that of a human, so she’s a really special person in this country. Undoubtedly, many difficulties will continue to await her in the future.

But there are some people who understand her.

All the while Lulusha-san was at the company, there was a figure who was watching us from a distance in hiding. That person went around to the front so he could meet with Lulusha-san as she headed for the city. He probably intended to talk to her or just watch over her.

(What was he so worried about… We obviously wouldn’t hurt Lulusha-san. No, maybe he was worried about Lulusha-san leaving the Empire?)

That person—Abba, I thought he was a secret agent of the Rororo Company at first, but now I understand that he was always a fair judge. Though, him sucking on syrup like “Chupa, Chupa,” is kind of a bad habit.

I don’t know how Lulusha-san and Abba will interact, but it would surely have its own share of ups and downs?after all, Lulusha-san’s dad was Abba’s former boss, and was like a hero figure to this country.

Dante-san was attached as an escort to Muge-san who became a celebrity and a millionaire overnight. Mimino-san said that she would stock up on medicines that were used up. Non-san also went to the church to volunteer, so I stayed alone in the warehouse. Zerry-san got up a while ago and disappeared somewhere.

I wanted to transcribe the contents of the stone slab I saw back at the Labyrinth of Fear.

Learning a language cannot be done only by memory, so it would be faster to have someone who can read old languages ? to decipher it. It may not say anything useful even when deciphered, but if you can read the messages left in historical ruins… wouldn’t that be a little exciting?

As I prepared a piece of paper and a pen and transcribed it smoothly according to my memory, I noticed that my hand was moving on its own. Did I learn something like?Writing Technique ?? from somewhere? The frustrating thing about?World Ruler?is that you can learn any skill if you observe it properly but you wouldn’t notice having it unless you try it out yourself.

(Which reminds me, is her Highness Anastasia doing okay?)

It was yesterday that I handed over a letter describing her peculiar constitution. I think it would be great if Her Highness could overcome her constitution—she could take off that terrible bandage on her throat.

(I wonder what her voice sounds like…)

I’m sure it would be a clear and beautiful voice. No, even a husky voice may be attractive. It’s called Gap Moe.

How old is she? She looks to be the same age as me or younger, but elfs have a long lifespan.

I wrote down everything while thinking about that. It seems that I was quite enthusiastic.

?——Oi, adventurer!?

?What the!??

The man standing at the entrance of the room was none other than the butler of Her Highness Anastasia. That unpleasant man himself.

?Her Highness is calling for you. Follow me.?

?W-Wait a minute. What are you thinking just barging in here and shouting out orders??

?What, you don’t want to answer Her Highness’ request? That’s fine. I will just report that a guy who doesn’t realise his position declined the call of a noble. No, actually I’m glad to keep the pests away.?

?……I’ll go.?

?What? Did you say something??

?I’m going, alright!?

If it was a request directly from Her Highness, she probably would like to hear about her constitution.

In that case, I would like to meet her in person and teach various things. No matter how annoying this unpleasant man is… Wait, he probably doesn’t know about Her Highness’ constitution.

?What are you staring at??

?No. Nothing. I just realised that you probably don’t know why Her Highness called for me.?

?Nn!??

I was right. I feel slightly refreshed knowing that.

?Just follow me!?

?W-Wait! What should I bring… Just the tool bag is enough, I guess.?

I rushed out of the warehouse and stuck close to the butler, leaving behind the old language and pictures that I had transcribed.
