Episode 12.8-9 (1/2)
The morning after, Lecan went to the rented house.
The front gate is open.
As he went inside, he almost mistook the house for someone else's; there was a neatly put together little garden.
”Ah, Lecan. Good morning.”
”Umu.”
”Lecan, your room will be in the farthest back, okay?”
”Got it.”
”I still haven't finished cleaning some rooms. I'm gonna work on it whenever I can.”
”You, are you really Eda.”
”What do you mean by that?”
”Hmm. The face, voice and presence are all indeed Eda's.”
”I've always thought that you're really a weird one, aren't you Lecan.”
Lecan felt an indescribable sense of loneliness.
He didn't dislike that energetic try-hard-to-sound-like-a-boy speech of her.
”Want to grab a bite for breakfast?”
”Yea.”
”Okay then, I'll whip up one quick for you, hold on.”
”Yea. And this.”
”What's this?”
”Money for the shopping.”
”This is too much for me.”
”Just hold on to it for now and spend them whenever you need something.”
”Okay, I'll do just that. Thanks.”
Lecan waited for Eda's cooking while sipping on the tea Eda prepared.
Then he told her about going to Norma's house and that he was shown the location of her house yesterday.
”Oh, okay then, I'll go get changed once I'm done with breakfast.”
Lecan had no idea why would she even need to change when they're just going to Norma's house, but neither is he bothered to ask why.
”Can you even move well in that getup? And where's your bow?”
”Are you planning to go on battle or help a medic?”
Eda left her camping tools and stuff in the house though she was carrying the <Box (Luuf)> with the <Bow of Isya> in. Now that Lecan thinks about it, that's just how it is in this world.
Once Eda shut the front door, Lecan bolted it shut using <Move>.
”Hey wait a minute. What did you do just now?”
”I bolted it shut.”
”With that heavy bolt? From outside the door?”
”Yea.”
”How am I supposed to get in then?”
”I'll open it.”
”What if when you're not around?”
”Jump over it.”
”Like I can! No wait, it's not like I can't, but don't you think it's sad how I've got to do all that just to get in my own home?”
