Vol 3 Chapter 37 (1/2)

The Seven Great of the City of Scholars

“… So you were living in a house?”

Having carried Miranda-san’s baggage all the way to her residence, I was slightly surprised upon seeing her estate

Where it was nor here to live in apartments, she resided in a detached house

For a noble fa, it wasn’t unthinkable, but that’s only a small portion of them

Making a bitter smile, Miranda-san looked a little troubled

“Ivery useful to uess you could call it honor? For that reason, they bought raduated, it’ll probably have been sold off to someone”

Even when they allowed the Circry’s eldest to study in the city of scholars, they couldn’t have her living in a plain apartment

Hearing that, the Fifth spoke

『Well, honor is i it, and they were going to sell it later, I doubt they had too much to worry about More importantly, Lyle… how is the reaction from the Skill?』

The Fifth remained alert, and I quietly activated the Skill

The Sixth’s Skill determined Miranda-san as an ally

Allies were blue

Irrelevant people, or those that didn’t think anything of me were yellow

Those with hostility towards me or monsters were displayed as red

It looks like Miranda-san didn’t hold any hostility

(Was I overthinking it?)

As I thought that, the Fifth spoke

『Don’t be negligent There o into the estate』

Carrying the baggage, I followed Miranda-san, who entered first

It was a house with a yard attached, and the building itself had two floors

Froe number of rooms

“Is it not too wide to live in alone?”

As I said that, Miranda-san’s expression clouded for a moment

(I wonder what the problem is)

But she immediately smiled, and shook her head

“I have a sister Our place has four siblings, but the youngest daughter, well… her eyes are bad I came here because I wanted to fix them”

Miranda-san came to this city for her sister’s sake

Itto me, but the ancestor’s opinions were the worst

According to the Second…

『Eh~ atrocious The Eldest daughter shouldn’t be doing so like that What’s et married already』

The Third was the same

『It’s a nice story, but I think she has another motive』

The Fourth was a little mindful of her

『I think she’s a nice girl, but it’s her parents fault for allowing it The all-iht? Froo marry her off to a house you want connections with』

The Fifth was cold

『The youngest daughter has bad eyes? Then isn’t this just the fa to look after her, and she’s probably just arbitrarily giving a reason Well, perhaps she’s actually serious, herself』

The Sixth

『… Well, it’s nice to care for your sister It’s a good thing to get along with your sisters』

Re our questionable conversation fros happened between his

While sy with him a little, I heard the Seventh’s opinion

『It isn’t rare for a family to distance a child with problems In my time there were many a ruh strange rumors do come out even if it really was natural』

What a dry family

I need to remember to be sympathetic myself

(She’s a good person)

Her coues away from my sister Celes

(I’m a little jealous I wanted a sister like this If I had one, then a little different… no, I guess it wouldn’t change It would just increase the number of people ere cold to me)

A monster that can warp its environment

Even my kind parents would never look at me at all

“A touching story I wish I had a sister like you”

As I praised her, she started pushi+ng me

“Oh! So you’re already gunning for ood of a sister What about your siblings, Lyle-kun?”

I skillfully put on a front, but anxiety caave a simplified explanation

“I have… one younger sister”

I’ full well about it, or she simply wanted to ask

I couldn’t deter like that, but the Skill continued to mark her out as blue

“Nice, aren’t they; sisters! They’re cute!”

“R-right”

As I forcedso, she didn’t talk any further

It’s possible she guessed the situation

I followed her to the kitchen, and placed the foodstuff on the table

Froed quite nicely

Besides the fact that there were handrails leading everywhere, it was quite standard

“I heard that you had no employees, but it’s quite clean”

“Ahahah… it’s because they only quit two days ago”

Meaning that once the days passed, she would have no choice but to clean it

Once the academy’s classes and tasks came to an end, she would quietly do the housework

I wanted to ask for the reason why they quit, but thinking that was going too far, I stopped

“Still, with a dwelling this vast, it must be quite a trial to clean it”

In the house I once lived in in Dalien, novem made sure the place was cleaned up nicely

While I thought Nove a irls in it to…

I honestly thought it would be quite a trial

“That’s right But I did learn housework to an extent…”

It looks like Miranda-san has her troubles

At that moment…

“Onee-sauest?”

I turned around to find a girl standing there She stood while clinging to the doorway, but I had a sense of discoure out whether her eyes were really resting on us, or not

The Third spoke

『Isn’t this the sightless younger sister?』

The girl, as still quite small, had pale violet hair The waves in it resembled Miranda-san’s

Her golden eyes were looking in our direction, but because of her vision probleroped around in the air as she drew closer to us, but Miranda-san hurriedly ran over to her

“Shannon! I told you to stay in your room”

“I’uest? A man at that?”

Perhaps from the conversation, or the atmosphere, she sensed it

I tried introducingout my family name

I kept the Skill up to see if she developed any hostility

(What will happen? Will she raise her guard?)

“Pleasureyou, milady I am Lyle Walt An acquaintance of Aria Today, I just helped carry baggage, and stopped by while I was at it”

Saying that, I directed a sument’s sake

The Fifth and Sixth reacted upon seeing the girl known as 【Shannon Circry】

『Well that’s quite a…』

『I wonder if it’s that thing called blood』

I found their reactions curions, but I wasn’t able to ask, so I continued to observe the sisters

Shannon looked at e sense that I was actually being watched

“… So that’s… how it is Thank you very er sister I’ive you this sort of treatment…”

Shannon cast down her eyes, and Miranda called to her

“I-it’s fine, Shannon! Lyle-kun isn’tlike that”

Saying that, she turned to me, so I nodded

“… Thank you”

When I said that, I directed a smile at her

For only a moment, Shannon’s blue indicator symbol turned to yellow, and then to red, but it soon went blue once more

Miranda-san didn’t change at all

The one who reacted upon hearing the Walt house’s name was Shannon

Having received tea in the kitchen, I waited for Miranda-san to return after dragging Shannon off to her room, and was able to ask about the city of Arumsaas

What I heard from her was mainly about the campuses

As a currently active student, perhaps she held different interests, but I was able to get different information from her than from Clara

“The acade people?”
