I didn’t plan to do it for this series, but perhaps I should once again take up character dialogue annotations due to majority vote
Konjiki no Wordmaster Chapter 48: His Sister, the Maid
“Let me introduce you This is my older sister” (Arnold)
Rubbing his right cheek after getting hit, Arnold introduces the girl
“Like I’d be satisfied with such an apathetic introduction!” (Sistah)
With a whack on the head, the girl made some distance between her and Arnold
“T-that hurt!” (Arnold)
“You’re supposed to be an adventurer, aren’t you!? Do you want to get whacked?” (Sister)
Arnold wanted to retort that he had already been whacked, but saying as such would ain, so he held back his words
“U-um…” (Soldier)
The soldier tries to butt in with apologetic expressions Arnold’s sister raises her hand, and answers them
“Ah, these kids are fine This one is my fool of a brother, and the other two seeh” (Sister)
“Is that true!? If that’s the case, then we can’t complain Go ahead” (Soldier)
With a sroup inside
(The Old Man’s sister… She seems to have quite a bit of trust here)
Otherwise, her words would never have let others enter the dwellings of royalty during ti in shouldn’t have been this easy Even so, by her order, the group easily entered The trust placed in her must have been considerable
What they entered was a space like a s hall There were three wooden tables, and a counter with a kitchen area behind it Hiiro’s group took their seats at the various chairs enclosing the tables
“I’ll get you so cold Stay put for a second” (Sister)
She gave a bright smile, and walked towards the kitchen Hiiro continued observing her
She had the same blue hair as Arnold, but unlike his short-cut hair, hers was long and neat Her facial features weren’t bad, and her height was on the higher end She had a thin and soft-looking tail swinging back and forth behind her
She orthy of being called a beauty But a maid that smokes tobacco as she works is a little bit off
But one thing that did catch Hiiro’s interest was the top of her head
(… There’s nothing there)
Just like Arnold, she had no ears Noticing where Hiiro’s attention was directed, Arnold gave a bitter smile
“So you noticed?” (Arnold)
“Noticed what?” (Hiiro)
He had no intention of prying into it, so he played dumb However contrary to Hiiro’s expectations, Arnold continued
“Don’t ” (Arnold)
Hiiro’s eyebroitched He was sure that Arnold lost his ears upon becoh that she had lost her ears under similar circumstance
But his thoughts were immediately refuted This made Hiiro mildly curious, but he didn’t speak up
“Hey, thanks for waiting” (Sister)
Arnold’s sister calasses, the number of which was that of the number of people present
“It’s 【Pashi+on】 specialty Schwartz” (Sister)
(TL: It’s written as specialty, pronounced phonetically as Schwartz)
It was a clear, sky-blue drink Looking closely, many bubbles rose and formed within the liquid Could this possibly be…
(… It’s cider)
It truly was A so-called carbonated drink Hiiro never thought he would be able to put such a thing into his htfully shocked
Making a pleasant gulping sound, he downed the glass in one swig It was perfectly carbonated, and the feeling of it going down his throat was quite pleasant
“Oh, you drink well! I have more, so drink all you want” (Sister)
She showed her teeth as she laughed happily
“Hit me” (Hiiro)
Saying that, Hiiro held out his glass Muir also see it as she drained her cup
After bringing a refill for Hiiro, Arnold’s sister lowered herself into a chair She took the cigarette out, and held it in her hand as she blew out a stream of smoke
“First is that I guess Could you tell me about those kids, Arnold?” (Sister)
“Yeah, this ridiculously cute apple of s of all of our hearts is the lovely Muir Castrea” (Arnold)
Arnold’s eyes sparkles as he points at Muir
“M- with you, Uncle’s sister!” (Muir)
“Haha, you can callyou” (Raive)
“Ah, yes… Raive-san” (Muir)
She eets as she stares at the woh
