Episode 1.14 (1/2)

Lecan has been summoned to the young lady's room.

It has been awhile since the last time.

When Lecan first took up residence at this mansion, he was called every single day. Even though they couldn't communicate with words, they talked with gestures. And he learned many words. Thinking again, those were fun times. It was also the young lady who taught him how to write at first.

After thanking Lecan for protecting her all this time, the young lady threw him a barrage of questions about his hometown.

”My Mr. Descender (La Enpi). What do you eat for breakfast at your hometown?”

”Mr. Descender. What kind of sweets do they have at your hometown?”

”Mr. Descender. What kind of clothes do noblewomen wear at your hometown?”

Descender is a term to refer to people who have descended from another world.

Surprisingly, such people do exist, albeit rarely. And descenders apparently all posses some kind of powerful ability. Though it has been 100 years since the last descender appeared in this country. In other words, it's a stuff of legend that may or may not be true. However, the young lady truly believes that Lecan is a descender and is quite ecstatic about it.

After a considerable time had passed, the young lady finally stopped. Gria, the head maid who had been standing behind her all this time must be tired.

”I have something to ask you, my Mr. Wolf (La Geedo).”

”Yale (yes).”

”Would you show me the jewel hanging on your chest?”

--Ah crap. And after I've taken extra steps not to show it to other people and all. Just when did she saw it. It can't be just now. She couldn't from her position. However, the chain attached to the jewel must be visible to her. Perhaps, she guessed that there would be a jewel at the end of the chain.

”That red jewel.”

Apparently not. The young lady is aware of the color of the jewel hanging from Lecan's neck. As it's something that he always carries around with him, someone somewhere might have caught a glance. And that someone informed the young lady.

Marinka the maid stepped forward and presented a tray. Having no choice, Lecan put the red jewel onto the tray.

”It's really, beautiful.”

That was the young lady's impression of the jewel in her hand.

She stared at the red jewel in fascination for quite some time.
