Chapter 38 (2/2)
”I'm Yuri, Yurika.”
… this conversation was a complete mess.
Wanting to confirm if I had misheard, I asked again.
”What?”
”Ah, Yurika. Yurika Obernu. You can call me Yuri if you so like.”
Ah… it seems like a pretty name.
Uhk, this isn't the topic.
”Not that, what do you mean by a future door of hards.h.i.+ps opening?”
”Don't attempt to know so much already ahead of time. You're Fab… no, what was your name?”
Did I just mishear? I'm quite sure that she was going to say my name as if she knew it.
Whatever, I must've misheard.
”Fabian.”
”No family name?”
”… Christian.”
Until I finish the quest my father entrusted me with and return to Nim-Nars.h.i.+nyak, I had decided to use my mother's last name until then.
”Ok, I see. Nice to meet you.”
The girl who had revealed herself as 'Yurika' rose from the crate and grabbing the last apple with her left hand, she extended forth her right hand for a handshake. Shaking her hand, Yurika's silver bracelets clamored. The sound of the silver colliding was greatly faint.
”That's that, what did you come here for?”
”Ah, I came here to buy an item.”
”There's not much left.”
”I'll search among the remainder I guess.”
Although she was a girl that spoke very gently, shortly, I would soon realize that compared to her generous voice was a sharp eye that was totally irrelevant to one another (in the end, I decided to believe that she tried to be generous at first). Yurika, in front of Mr. Cindebolp's store, was looking around, checking the unsold items. As if there was a reason why those items were unsold, there was no interest in her eyes.
She came empty-handed in front of me and shrugged her shoulders.
”What's this. I came here hearing that it was cheap, but there's nothing useful left.”
”It's your fault for not coming earlier. There were a lot of decent items, but they were all sold. If you want to obtain something good, you need to be diligent.”
”Even if I came earlier, I don't think there's anything that's worth choosing.”
”What evidence do you have to say that?”
”Just by looking at it, these are clearance items from a store that's about to close.”
She guessed it right?
Since it wasn't something worth hiding, I just told her the truth.
”You're right. I've finished clearing out the store today. It'll be closed tomorrow.”
”Why?”
”I'm planning to move.”
”Where?”
”Into the world.”
Hehe, saying something like this made me feel like I became something.
From Yurika's lips were somewhat pouting as her expression had a 'trying to show off' kind of meaning, full of hostility as if I was in enemy territory. Making such… an honest face like that, to make a person feel ashamed.
”Okay, I hope you move out well. I have to go.”
Yurika, without asking me, grabbed the last apple and made a simple farewell wink. At last, I noticed that her body moved gracefully light and fast. Before I was able to reply, she quickly turned a corner inside the village and disappeared without looking back.
It should be quite eye-catching roaming around with that kind of outfit. Maybe it's a trend in a city, but in this neighborhood, all the clothes worn by girls here are all the same I say.
And she's also striking in appearance as well.
A traveler?
All right- Fabian, stop your futile interest, stop.
TL Afterword: WOOT! Finally, the heroine has entered.
TL Afterword
Aww, the father left. But, that means it's time for the adventure of Fabian to finally start! Woot!
