Episode 41.6-7 (1/2)
”To think that extraordinary presence was you all along, Eda.”
”Ehehe. There's another extraordinary person over there though.”
”What?”
Eda pointed her finger in a direction, but no one was there. At least not in Norma's eyes.
”Is someone there?”
As if responding to Heles's words, a skinny man wrapped in a dark brown mantle showed up from the shadow and bowed at Norma.
”Oh it's you Reis. Were you hiding yourself?”
”Do pardon me. It is an order from the marquis.”
”Norma. This is a mage from our house, Reis. Forgive him for his impoliteness.”
”Hahaha. There is no way they would let you go alone. It's only natural.”
”Is the other person there a guard. He looks quite to be a skilled one.”
”May I call him?”
”Of course.”
”Jinga.”
As beckoned, Jinga got in the gazebo, and made a knight salute at Heles.
”I am Jinga Tauer.”
”Jinga is a knight of Wazrof assigned to me, you see. He just got reinstated as a Chief Knight of Wazrof the other day.”
”What. The Chief Knight of Wazrof? Uumu. No wonder.”
Reis and Eda also introduced themselves. Reis called himself a mage who works as a minister's secretary, but Eda innocently saw through his real identity right away.
”Reis-san, you're a spy aren't you.”
”Eh?”
Heles sounded surprised.
(Looks like you can't expect this girl to keep a secret.)
”Is that true, Reis?”
”Yes. More like, you never figured it out until now?”
”I thought you were really good at erasing your presence.”
”Much appreciated. By the way, you will be late if you don't get going soon.”
”Oh, is it time already. I haven't talked quite enough yet. Norma, could you spare some time later.”
”I would be very glad to.”
Norma and Heles smiled at each other.
