Chapter 6 (1/2)

My name is Miina Filua.

My dad’s the village chief, and the village chief position has been in our family for generations.

Since today, the lord is coming for an inspection, dad told me to be obedient and stay indoor which is boring.

Everyone says the lord is kind, and that they’re glad he’s their lord.

Apparently the lord before him was terrifying.

Sometimes when the lord comes, he brings me sweets, there’s no way such a person could be scary, right?

Suddenly a knocking sound is heard from the door.

Oh, it seems the lord has come.

Dad immediately went to open the door for the lord.

After doing that, dad immediately returned to me.

I wonder what’s wrong?

[Miina, today the lord brought his daughter called miss Liliana with him. Could you play together with her? Miss Liliana is the same age as you are.]

A playmate!

In Filua village, there are younger and older children, but none around the same age.

Because of that, when playing with older kids I always lose in whatever we do, and when playing with the smaller children who still have trouble walking, it always ends up with me simply looking after them.

The first time with someone of the same age.

[Dad, I want to play with her!]

[I thought you’d say that. You don’t know how to speak formally yet, but at the very least call her miss Liliana.]

Formally? I don’t get it, but it’s fine if I simply call her miss Liliana, right?

[I got it! Dad, hurry, hurry!!]

I took dad’s hand and dragged him towards the door.

At the door stood the usual kind lord and his knight.

And finally, a girl I’d never seen before.

An angel!

With pure white skin and silver hair silky to the degree that it made you want to caress it.

Above all else, her pupils were a beautiful amethyst color.

The lord has the same eye color, dad told me that it’s called amethyst and sometimes appears in the lords family.

Those eyes were incredibly beautiful, almost like they sucked you in.

The girl looked like a beautiful angel.

I could hardly believe she was human and found myself mesmerized gazing at her.

[How do you do, my name is Liliana. What is your name?]

The angel spoke!

What’s more, her smiling face is dazzling.

This person is like an angel.

[My name is, Miina.]

Because I was so nervous I couldn’t speak properly.

[Miina, would you like to play with me?]

The angel wants to play with me!?

Amazing! Amazing!!

The lord told us to behave, then went out with the other adults.

I grabbed the hand of the angel and lead her inside the house.

I wonder what the angel usually does when playing. I guess I’ll ask.

Ah, right, dad told me to call her miss Liliana.

[Miss Liliana, what should we play?]

After I asked, the angel had a troubled expression.

[Miina, stop calling me miss. Just call me Liliana.]

[But, dad told me to call you miss Liliana.]

[I told you it’s okay to call me Liliana, so from now on that’s what you’ll call me, right?

Besides, I simply call you Miina anyway.]
