The morning after I spoke with Tabitha. After breakfast, I got a letter from Neve, Nina, and Nora.
I read the contents first and thought about my reply.
Neve’s handwriting was as sharp as ever, and in summary, she wanted to go for a walk with me.
I agreed, but noted that there was nothing in the area, so we would go to the forest for now.
Well, even if we go there, there is nothing to be found in the forest.
“This is …… Nora’s letter, huh.”
[When I grow up, I want to be my big brother’s wife!]
…… I wonder what is the right thing to reply.
For starters, I wrote, “If you still have that feeling when you grow up.”, or something like that.
I’m wondering how old Nora says she is when she grows up though ……
“And finally, Nina …… wait, this is written with Nina’s family structure?”
Well, the gist of it seems to be, to meet her parents ……
That’s all well and good, but we need to figure out a way to get Nina home.
Then, after a morning of cultivating work, we had lunch, and then the unexpected happened.
“Meilin. Any news from the dolls?”
“Unfortunately, nothing so far. ……”
“Sakura, has Tsubaki …… I guess she hasn’t returned yet.”
What happened was that, for some reason, Yudit did not come back at lunch.
Today Yudit said she was going to the field to harvest the crops.
For now, we are all searching for her, including the doll, but we can’t find her at all.
“Yudit’s doll, Yuri, is there, right?”
“Yes, she is. We are able to have a normal conversation. Right now, she is looking for her from the sky.”
What will happen to the doll if something happens to Yudit herself?
If Yuri is safe, can we assume that Yudit is also safe?
I can’t say for sure, since there is no way to test it, but all I can think about are the unpleasant thoughts that come to mind.
“No way, did she get attacked by some kind of monster or demon ……”
“…… Ms. Yudit is angel tribe and stands out, after all. Ah! I-I’m sure she’s fine! Ms. Yudit is a fighter, and she can also fly freely in the sky! If something happens, she’ll fly away!”
Lydia muttered, and then hurriedly followed up.
It seems that what I was thinking was showing on my face more than I had expected.
In the midst of all this…
“Master Alex! I’ve found Lady Yudit!”
“Really!? Thank you, Sakura! Is Yudit safe!?”
“Yes, sir. And she is already here.”
Sakura had returned with Yudit, who was carrying a large bag.
“Yudit! Are you okay? Are you hurt in any way?”
“Fueeeeh …… Alex! I’m sorry!”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen, after all!?”
“That’s not it. I’m sorry, everyone. I’m sorry I made you look for me. It’s not that something happened, I just went home for a little bit ……”
“What? Home, you say …… to the village of the Angel Tribe?”
When I asked her that, Yudit nodded slightly with teary eyes.
Thank god …… because I was really worried that some monster or demon had done something to her.
“Ah, that’s fine, but from now on, it would be helpful if you could tell me in advance.”
“Okay, I’m really sorry. I was actually going to come back as soon as I found what I was looking for, but my Mom tried to give me a bunch of extra stuff as souvenirs …….”
“So it’s Ms. Johanna. Well, I’m sure she’s going to run amok in various ways, but …… anyway, what was the thing you were looking for?”
“Well …… Actually, it’s these things.”
Saying this, she searches out the bag that Yudit had dropped on the floor and pulls out a book.
However, the book has a cover with words I’ve never seen before and I don’t know what it’s about.
“…… This is, what does this say?”
“Well …… an easy human language text that anyone can understand …… that’s what is written in sacred script.”
Sacred Script!? I’ve never heard of such a thing …… Wait a minute.
If Yudit had gone back to the Angel Tribe’s house to look for this book, could it be ……
“U-Um. Not only Neve, but also Nina and Nora were going to write letters to darling, right? So I thought I should write one too …… but this morning I realized. I can speak human languages, but I can’t read or write ……”
“And that’s why you went home to get this book?”
“Yes. I didn’t want people to know I can’t write, so I was going to sneak back in …… I’m sorry.”
“No, you were going to write to me, right? I’m glad you feel that way. Besides, if the Angels normally use the Sacred Script, it’s normal that you can’t write human languages, right? I mean, Yudit is really amazing to be able to use multiple languages.”
The answer was as I expected, but I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a sacred script in the first place.
“That’s right! Considering the future, a school …… is too large, but we need such an educational institution.”
“If so, I will teach Ms. Yudit how to read and write.”
“W-Wait a minute. Then Mugi would like to learn too! Mugi doesn’t know any letters!”
The uproar made it clear that an educational institution was needed, and the first step was to start with reading and writing, which Meilin would teach them.
