C473: Visitors / Jean
Kiyone, Tris, and Brunnhilde headed out to gather information.
The officials who were watching them and those who were in the hands of Bouddarga might mess with them a bit, but as former members of the Sword Clan, they would have no problem with that. All we had to do was wait for them to bring back some incriminating information, but it didn’t work out that way.
“Someone wants to see you.”
Soon after the three of them went out to gather information, Musashi received a visitor. If that was all, there would be no problem, but the fact that a visitor came to visit me by name was a big problem.
The information that I am here has been leaked. If that were the case, it would be a bit of a problem. If he finds out about it, he might even try to take serious measures

.
I guess I’ll just have to meet the visitor for the time being. However, it would be no fun to greet him normally, and I wanted to check something, so I asked Sword Saint for his cooperation.
The guest was a young woman. She had long indigo-colored hair, a pleasant-looking face, and was dressed maturely, but her actual age seemed younger than she looked. Of course, I did not know her, and I had never met her before.
“What is it you want to talk to me about?”
Sword Saint asked the young woman.
I asked him to meet the guest as me and I was there as a third party to check on the guest.
“Yes, actually, I’d like to say

something

.”
The woman seems to have no doubt at all that Sword Saint is me. It’s strange that she knows I’m here but doesn’t know my face.
“What’s wrong, didn’t you want to talk to me?”
The woman was hesitant to talk but Sword Saint asked again.
“Actually, there is someone I want you to meet.”
“What kind of person do you want me to meet?”
“I can’t talk about it here.”
“It is absurd to ask me to meet someone when you can’t even tell me what kind of person it is. I have not even heard your name yet. How can I have the least bit of confidence in you?”
“Oh, excuse me. My name is Luca.”
“Who do you want me to meet?”
He turned his sharp eyes on her and asked not giving her the chance to think of a lie.
“He is a student living in the capital

.I’m sorry, but I can’t say more. Excuse me.”
With that, she tried to leave. There are still a lot of things I don’t understand, but one thing I do know is that she has no ill intentions.
“Wait a minute, I’m not done talking yet. An amateur like you has dared to come all the way here so you must have a good reason, right? Can you leave like this?”
When I said that, she stopped moving and looked at me with an expression of “Who are you?”
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Luca. I am Jean.”
When I say my name, Luca starts to panic, perhaps because she is confused. I don’t think it was an act, so perhaps she is a pure and honest person.
“What? Then this person is

.”
“I’m a humble swordsmanship instructor.”
“You are a swordsmanship instructor?”
“For now, sit down again, because I need to hear what you have to say.”
She sat down on the sofa again anxiously, still not grasping the situation.
