Episode 27.5 (1/2)
After a while, Norma stopped crying and let go of Lecan, taking a slight distance from him.
The two stayed silent.
(No clue what to say here.)
His savior came from outside.
”Lecan. Got a minute there?”
Vice Commander of Royal Knights, Neisan Aspell has come to visit.
”Yea. Come on in.”
”Pardon me. Aa.”
Neisan stopped moving for a second when he saw Norma sitting next to Lecan.
”Am I interrupting something?”
”No. Never mind it.”
Far from that, Neisan's visit was a lifeboat.
”Norma. He's Vice Commander of the Royal Knights, Neisan Aspell.”
”Norma-dono. Excuse me.”
”Nice to meet you, I'm Norma a medic.”
”I have heard about how great of a scholar your father was.”
”It's an honor.”
Lecan picked up a bottle of liquor.

”Want a sip?”
”Yea. Sure.”
Lecan handed a Neisan high-class liquor bottle and a silver tumbler before gesturing for a toast with his own. Neisan, Lecan and Norma drank up the content of their tumblers.
”This is good.”
Lecan pushed the bottle toward Neisan without taking another sip. Neisan poured his own drink.
”I was thinking about reporting the matter with Roland.”
”I see.”
”He came back to the town lord's mansion this morning.”
”Morning? Quite late.”
It was last night when the Vice Commander of Royal Mages, Roland Batt was found by Lecan trying to sneakily set up a barrier in the guest house and got himself banished to Shira's house by Shira herself, he could have gone back before morning came.
”He said he couldn't get out of the house because of an ape.”
”Hou.”
The barrel Roland got xchange>d with was probably a barrel in the warehouse. He'd have to pass through Jericho's room if he wanted get out of the house from there unless he climbed over the wall.
”When we asked what happened, he kept screaming out 'ape, the ape'. Just what was going on over there.”
”Beats me.”
Jericho would have let him go on his merry way had he gone out of the house without doing anything. Roland was probably attempting to do something inappropriate there. And Jericho gave him a hard time for it. Not sure how though.
”Anyway, we had long gotten the written evidence from the two mages and mage squires by the time Roland came back. With oaths and signs in tow. We've secured the magic tools as evidence as well. There's no way to weasel out of this one.”
