Chapter 27 (2/2)

Edgar: “…”

Me and Ellie are on stand by just behind Arisa.

In the meantime, I observed the people in the room.

I somewhat guessed that the people in this place are those that the old man trusted.

On the old man's side, there was that butler-like man.

He was about 30 years old. His height is about 180. He's got a slightly long blond hair.

And in the eye beyond that monocular of his, there was a hint of intellect.

Edgar: “…!”

As he noticed my gaze, he gently smiled at me.

…but despite that gentleness, his eyes were sharp.

After him there's the one maid.

Probably she's someone in the head maid position.

Her brown hair tied into a ponytail was impressive.

That person is silently standing by in front of the door.

So there are those two, me, and Ellie. Then there's Arisa and lord Gram.

These six people are in this room.

And then, that vase…it looks expensive…with such thoughts, I spent the time in that place.

After a while, Arisa and the old man ended their talk.

The view outside the window had turned dark.

Gram: “Hrm, our talks has unexpectedly took a long time. Shall we have dinner, Arisdono? We have ourselves some nice pork cornets, and our chefs can surely show their skills.”

Arisa: “Alright, I shall look forward to it.”

Then the old man who stood up from his seat turned my way and joined his hands together.

Gram: “Sorry about that, Edgar-dono. We have to postpone our match until tomorrow.”

Edgar: “No no, I do not mind, lord Gram.”

Replying while somewhat being relieved, we headed for the dining room.

The pork cornets they had were delicious.

After dinner, the ponytailed maid from earlier guided the others to their respective rooms and me to mine. As we continue to our room, that person gave me a simple introduction.

Maid: “I am the head maid of this house, my name is Luna. I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Edgar-sama.”

Lunsan lightly bowed.

Edgar: “Nice to meet you too, Lunsan.”

I smiled back at her lightly.

The mansion is huge.

As we walked, Lunsan we chat a bit, but our topic soon switched to lord Gram.

Edgar: “Still, this is the first time I've seen a n.o.ble like lord Gram, but are n.o.bles usually like that?”

My question sounded tired.

Luna: “No, no, please do not be worried. Gram-sama are one of the unusual n.o.bles. The owner of this house is truly a troublesome one, isn't he?”

Lunsan laughed.

Edgar: “I don't think that is the case…!”

Even though I was just smiling bitterly, I tried forming some words of denial.

Luna: “It couldn't be helped even if you want to say that. Rather, to make the sorceress' disciple have such thoughts, it is disrespectful of us. I greatly apologize…”

And then, Lunsan turned somewhat exaggerated from mysilly act and kneeled.

To that, I panicked and tried to stop her.

Edgar: “It was just a joke! Please raise your head, Lunsan!”

Lunsan raised her head, all the while thanking me. After that, she pulled out her tongue and apologized, saying I'm sorry.

From her smile that looks like a child whose prank worked, I realized that I was in the wrong.

(I thought she was a quiet and serious person, but perhaps she's quite a playful person)

Then I arrived in my room.

By the time Lunsan took her leave, she told me to please take care of Gram-sama from now on.

I thought somehow or another…maybe that person is also having some hards.h.i.+ps on her own.

The mansion's bed is soft, and so I could slept comfortably.

TLC:

The author had a typo in this chapter: Instead of Irto (i-ru-to) village, he wrote ru-i-to. Had to check back several chapters to make sure it is the actual name of the village.

Other than that, hope you enjoyed the chapter, and have a nice day!
