Volume 2 Chapter 4 (1/2)
Several days had passed once more
Whether it was because ruh there were a couple of them who did the opposite and stuck near us(to be exact, people like the introverted lady type), they didn’t have the courage to strike a conversation with us, so Sii and I were able to spend our ti how to speak to receiving service fro me how to speak, as both the two of us were busy, it was fortunate for us
Of course, it wasn’t constantly peaceful
“Yujin, it’s about your attire”
The Silver Lion Earl looked down and spoke toher jaith one hand
“What?”
(TL note: DoT = Dae over time)
This was a little unexpected Siht that my current attire perfectly suited the Silver Lion Earl’s twisted preferences It seeht, the Silver Lion Earl had oes o mad properly
For starters, let’s give a pretentious remark
“Earl In the first place, the front and back of what you said just now redundantly use the sae in it”
“I recall hearing the sa before Why can’t das? Why do they want to display the things they know so much?”
There was a sharp edge in the tone of her voice I had said that in order to relieve the atmosphere, but it seems I had upset her mood instead
I spoke defensively
“I’m not an otaku”
“Yeah yeah, you most likely just had a lot of interest in that sub-culture Ahyeon said the sah, since I was a littlesorry”
I didn’t ask her what she wanted to do then If I did ask, then I felt like the Silver Lion Earl would actually do what she wanted directly to ht about it, it didn’t seem like it would benefit me
I spoke defensively once more
“If you give me proper clothes then I’ll wear proper clothes”
“Did Zia not give you anything?”
“If I wore that, then yourtio”
The Silver Lion Earl furrowed her brow
“It seems there are no decent people around me Those so-called community leaders only worry about their own profits, , the head deity of the house, Sophna, is a hikikouest, is a hatred enthusiast and also Zia’s teacher, and Zia is, well, Zia”
And you’re you Since it felt like it would be dangerous if I were to say these words out loud, I kept my mouth shut
That seemed to be the correct response
“Also, in regard to those very city co to come to this Silver Lion Castle soon”
Without laughing, the Silver Lion Earl spat out while putting pressure on her temple
Right, I was told that she didn’t have good relations with the couely sensitive
“What kind of person are they?”
“It’s sohter of Mikatni who you’ve been siding with lately I’ to co to be the one to coh, I heard that Mercè has been sick lately, so there’s a higher chance that Abria will come Well, not like I’m interested”
Nouninterested, that behavior of talking while shrugging her shoulders gave off a feeling that felt as if she were so concerned that she couldn’t endure it any longer For her to even have a coy property to her, she was an Earl who possessed every decent popular tag
It can’t be helped
“Do you want to hit me?”
“Hoo? Will you let me?”
“Sure”
“Okay If you want me to”
The Silver Lion Earl then struck me
Mm
“No, not this kind of hitting”
“It was a joke”
“Zia did a similar joke back when I was still in the basement Really, master and servant are alike In any case, I’ll welcome them”
The Silver Lion Earl drew her brow together
“Why would Mr Yujin do that? Welcouest is the job of the maaaids Mr Yujin is currently a squire”
“My test is soon, right? I felt like there’s a need for e”
“The adopted daughter of Mikatni should be acting as your talking companion Zia would do it as well If what you want is a native speaker, well, they’re all native speakers, but if you need a person who doesn’t know Korean, then Yudia is already taking care of that Is this insufficient?”
“Sii and Yudia are fine, but that Zia······ why is it that when that girl speaks in this world’s language, she becomes so courteous?”
“It’s Zia after all”
Those ords that explained a lot of things
The Silver Lion Earl shrugged her shoulders and continued
“Whether Zia is Zia or not, they were ter to learn a new language anyway, so while we’re at it, we decided to each grasp a different way of speech That’s why for e difference between our style of speech in Korean and in this world’s language, that kind of feel, you know? So like that”
“A type of persona, huh”
“YesYesYes Well, at this point, the reason for it has been lost There’s probably no one around who’s capable of noticing the difference after all”
“Don’t be so sure of yourself”
I spoke
“I’m here now”
A moment of silence flowed by
The Silver Lion Earl stared atback and forth between bafflement and helplessness, spoke in a tone that sounded as if she had tossed her vote towards bafflement
“Mr Yujin Do you know that you occasionally say sos?”
“It’s not cute”
“That very act of saying those words is proof that it’s cute”
Another silence
“Returning to thethat you needto, Mr Yujin?”
“To be exact, that’s one of the reasons”
“What are the other reasons?”
“Several things For exaht? Since I’ht now, there’s a chance that I s like weapons and armor Moreover, since they’re a coht be helpful when I’arding the city as well Plus” I folded my arms “You, seem to be concerned about it”
“Hoo? What nonsense I’m not concerned about it at all”
That very act of saying those words is proof that you’re concerned, instead of saying this, I quietly looked at her The Silver Lion Earl let out a sigh
“Well, in conclusion, you’re saying that you’re doing it for ht? Really, Mr Yujin, like I said, you say sos sometimes”
“I told you it’s not cute” I gave her a disgusted response “Furthermore, I’m also interested in the medical practitioner of Sii······etcetera etcetera”
“Hmm”
The Silver Lion Earl crossed her arms and nodded her head
“Aaall right”
She nodded again
She then leaned her cheek against her hand and looked down at me
“Though I have to say, Mr Yujin is occasionally cute at times”
“Hm?”
“No, it’s just that you seem incredibly dense at times”
After saying that, the Silver Lion Earl vocalized herself getting up from her chair Shortly after, she spun around in place and did a pose where she was pointing a finger gun at me
“You uest”
The Silver Lion Earl announced
“······So that’s why you came to me?”
Mari spoke with a face that looked like she was a girl who had a cockroach latched onto her leg Of course, as I wasn’t a cockroach or latched onto her leg, I nodded my head fairly
“Yeah I heard that you handled everything in regard to greeting guests”
“I handle the s here” Mari correctedwith that vulgar hobby of yours and goofs around”
“I believe that using that sort of discriood”
“It’s not discrimination but division I understand that you aren’t used to our language yet, but please say it properly”
Regardless of the world, I see that racists all say the sa
“In any case, what do you intend to do? The guest to arrive this tiical daughter, she’s also the director of theindustry district She’s cohter you worshi+p so much, you know? If you perhaps think that you can satisfy Miss Abria Mikatni with the sas you do that work on that fake Mikatni, then⎯⎯⎯”
Leaving her to ras We were currently in the reception roohly set out on top of a table As there were things that looked like s that looked like cookies Of course, there was so similar to a pie as well
While I was looking around the roo for even a single moment A considerable amount of her words were co up anything that felt particularly new Instead of giving herthat she was in desperate need for a renewal of her repertoire, I spoke
“Is this everything you’re bringing out to welcouest with?”
“Are you referring to the refresh”
“Hm One moment”
I tossed a cookie into my mouth Mari quickly became bewildered
“What are you doing!?”
Instead of responding, I slightly tasted the mini cake and had a sip of the tea I had also broken off a corner portion of the pie and ate it The reason why I stopped there was because Mari had rushed towardsvolcano She ers felt cold as they clutched me by my collar
“I asked what you’re doing! Even if you didn’t receive education⎯⎯⎯”
“None of these are good”
“What!? Just nohat did you⎯⎯⎯”
“Who made these?”
Mari faltered Using the opportunity when the pressure on ht at her Mari regained her senses and tried to glare at me, but after soaze
“Raya, made them”
If it’s Raya, then that was the na role aed er
“I’ll use the kitchen a bit”
There were several things I felt while eating at the dining room for the past several days
First, the fact that they had an eating culture that wasn’t much too different compared to h it’s sorasped when I had received food fro been suain In any case, the citizens of this world didn’t drink soup that tasted like pig piss and clai that looked like frog eyes and beco the fact that this was another world, this was so that I couldn’t wish more for
Second, the fact that the majority of the food that was served here suited my palate I’d like it if you paid attention to the part about it being not ‘the average palate of Koreans’, but ‘ food I prefer s that aren’t spicy or bitter If I were to use kimchi as an exas that weren’t dipped in cider, these are the types of food that suited my palate
However, as that taste represented a huge trend, it didn’t mean that the quality of the substantive food here was at a level that I could be satisfied with Ingredients, spices, cooking s weren’t as well maintained here as they were on modern Earth, so the taste naturally became dull
Third, that meant that I could probably do it better
“Try it”
I spoke while placing a hotcake (ft otherworld ingredients) on top of a plate The eyes of Mari, atching hout the entire ti, became conflicted It seems she couldn’t decide whether she should eat it or not, whether she should eat it and give a harsh review, or whether the food I made was even safe to eat in the first place
I helped her
“Now then”
“······Uhk”
Once I placed it against her lips, Mari finally opened herthat I had stuck forward Her pink lips moved up and down for a moment before her throat moved once
Mari opened her eyes wide, hesitated for a aze
“It’s not an inedible taste······”
How cute
“······Did you think of so weird just now?”
“Not really One moment”
Iand spread the a cookie,a cupcake, and when she drank the tea, she flat out made a depressed face
“Why is even the tea······”
“Because I had to become the student body president”
It seems Mari was unable to understand those words Well, since I didn’t know the corresponding word for ‘student body president’ in this world’s language, I had said it vaguely In any case, Mari looked at me with furious eyes
“You, are you perhaps from a noble descent?”
“Somewhat?”
“I see In that case, this⎯⎯⎯”
Mari stoppedtwisted I followed her line of sight and discovered a scared and curled up Sii An aard silence
“Hmph”
Mari turned her head away and left the room
Well, nothing can be done if they’re already gone
“What brings you here, Miss Sii?”
As was seen a second ago, after my ‘weird rampart’ incident at the castle wall, Mari did whatever she could in order to not be in the same area as Sii, and as expected, Sii did whatever she could in order to avoid the possibility of ly risked that status quo just to coh reason However, instead of answering lanced at the door that Mari had just left through
“······Yujin, are you not concerned about Mari? Is she not scary?”
“I’ to me anyway”
“Mht But who knohen she’ll explode and cause an accident”
“I a cautious of that However, it won’t happen”
Sii gazed atwhy I was so certain I explained it to her
“Because Mari is a person of common sense”
It seems that Sii found it unpleasant that I had defined the person who harasses her as ‘a person of common sense’ I patted that Sii and comforted her
“In truth, she’s in the position of directing the erous situation Of course, there’s a chance that she’ll ed authority and pride because of that position of hers, but that’d be too trifling to do In any case, she didn’t becoht?”
“Alpha girl······ although I don’t knohat that means······ Certainly, Mari was like this when I first came here as well”
“Yes She’s able to stand in that position because she’s siood at her job, which means, her authority comes from her task perfor Miss Sii can be considered a method to supplement her authority, it can’t be her mainobsessed with harassing Miss Sii will never come”
Honestly, I’m not sure why Mari had continued to bully Sii like that If you recall her reaction during the incident at the rampart, then she wasn’t heavily armed with sadisht? Well, ad that was always done with a reason A simple s that could be used as a motive
I shrugged my shoulders
“As long as there isn’t some reasonable occurrence, there is no chance that she’ll lose her temper and cause an incident It’llmean”
If anything, I’m worried that Sii will be the one to cause an accident, but since saying this would be discourteous, I kept it to myself Sii hesitated with a red face
“Okay······ In other words, it’ll be fine as long as I don’t boldly provoke her?”
“Yes To be exact, you can say that Miss Sii will be fine as long as Miss Sii doesn’t run head first into the other ether Of course, Miss Sii wouldn’t do so like that anyway”
“Yup~~! That’s obvious I’m, sensible”
Regardless of the world, it seeeness were concepts that were coet of those tords, I didn’t have the thought or the right to blame that Therefore, that hy this white h Sii was easily angered and cruel to the weak, her essence, which was located much deeper than that, was incredibly similar to my own
“So, Miss Sii, what has brought you here?”
“My foster-sister is co It’s obvious that I would provide reception”
It was just as I had expected
Sii Garno Mikatni
The adopted daughter of⎯⎯⎯Mikatni
“Rather, what are you doing, Yujin? I’m, curious”
“Just like Miss Sii, I’uest” And before Sii could ask a question like ‘And so? Why are you here to welcome her?’ I threw her a question first “What kind of person is she?”
“She’s the director of the h it’s not as impressive as Sir Mercè Mikatni, she’s a blacksmith with incredible craftsmanshi+p”
“I know that already Rather than her status and position, what I wish to know about is so like her personality”
Sii’s face becahtly red
“Mm······ She’s a scary person”
This was another expected response Was there any other word that the abject Sii would use in order to describe a person as standing in a position her than her own?
However, Sii gave a factual description of the appearance of Abria as going to arrive in approximately 20 minutes from now
Her appearance in itself was feeble With a slender fraht that was shorter than my own, her blonde hair was fashi+oned into vertical rolls and her face had fine lines Although her ed as her personal characteristic, her low-exposure dress and her lace gloves, which concealed her arms entirely,to a banquet Her charcoal-colored boots lookedthan they did for working The band that she had wrapped around her shoulder had a symbol that resembled an anvil and a pickaxe, but due to the needlessly refined design, it feltaccessory It was an appearance that didn’t look like it would belong to the director of theindustry district or a skilled blacksmith
If you excluded her eyes, that is
They were eyes that made me understand why Sii would be afraid of her It wasn’t only because of the rift that ithin the pupil of her eyes, which was a trait of the people of this world, but her eyes theed guillotine As if she were ailared at me with those eyes
“And you are?”
The person to respond wasn’t me, or the coether with Abria Mikatni
“Oh, it’s Yujin He’s an otherworlder that was summoned by the Silver Lion Earl”
It was Yudia Batsand Although this side was also incredible for having intiave a sticky and viscous feeling, then Abria gave a cold-hearted and indifferent feeling If Yudia could be considered a pleasant fellow despite his appearance, then the fact that Abria was an individual who behaved just as she appeared was their difference
“Is that so In any case, Sir Yudia, if I may continue on froe of Sir Yudia’s weapon in the place of my father this year as well”
After quickly losing interest in me, Abria Mikatni spoke towards Yudia
