Episode 19.3 (1/2)
”So, so, Baa-chan.”
Apparently, Eda has decided to call Shira Baa-chan now. <TLN: An affectionate form of grandma.>
”What's wrong, Eda-chan.”
”Can you tell Lecan's age?”
”Not Lecan, no. I could see his Mana Pleats, but the way its wrinkles are formed differ a bit from this world's humans. To begin with, the length of a day and a year in Lecan's former world likely isn't the same as that of this world, there's no point in determining his age.”
”Former world? This world?”
”Lecan is a <Descender>. He's not a human of this world.”
”Ah, okay then. I see, I see.”
”Lecan-dono.”
”What.”
”How Shira-san and Eda-san are able to have a pleasant chat over tea about such an astonishing content make them look like residents of a faraway world to me.”
”I'm quite shocked myself, got my secret so casually talked about out of blue like this.”
”You don't look the part at all though.”
”But you know, Eda-chan. You can't tell anyone about how Lecan is a <Descender>, okay.”
”Why?”
”Because it'd attract attention of weird people. Some people might try to confine him. Some might regard him as a dangerous character. You don't like it if people hate Lecan even though he hasn't done anything wrong, do you?”
”I got it. I'm gonna keep it a secret.”
”Good girl. By the way, Arios. Are you maybe, Muduc and Shoun's grandkid?”
”Are you acquainted with my grandfather and grandmother?”
”Sort of. Are they still kicking?”
”Yes. In fact, I plan to go meet them after this. I shall tell them of my meeting with Shira-sama.”
”They probably won't know that name. I went by the name Mazara Wedepasha when Shoun was around.”
Arios stood up, and bowed down with his knees on the ground.
”It is my highest honor to be in the presence of Guide Mazara. I humbly apologize for my insolence in spite of my ignorance.”
”I dislike formalities. Stand up, sit on your seat and talk like you usually do now.”
”Yes. If you'd excuse me.”
”And also. Mazara is dead. Do keep that in mind.”
”Acknowledged. I shall never mention anything about Guide Mazara in any capacity elsewhere.”
”So Arios-kun's grampa and grandma's is baa-chan's friends.”

”Oh it's an old story.”
”Lecan-dono. I'm shocked. I had decided to never get surprised by Lecan-dono, and here I am once again.”
”You're saying that again.”
”I'm not trying to surprise you.”
