Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an AdventurerVolume 2 Chapter 36
Receiving an interrogation
ăŒ
When I wake up, the usual mofumofu-sized Lu is sleeping in front of me. When I look outside, it is cloudy, but my heart is clearer than I thought it would be. Perhaps itâs because of Luâs magic, despite crying a lotâŠ
ăGood morning, Sera.ă
âGood morning, Lu.â
Our usual day has begun.
âGood morning. Otou-sama.â
âGood morning, Serafi.â
When I say hello to Papa at the breakfast table⊠his complexion looks bad.
âOtou-sama, are you feeling tired?â
Papa smiles with his too well-organized face.
âWhen I got home, I heard that Lu-sama was injured and Serafi was desperately healing him. I was worried about that.â
I rush to my father in a hurry.
âOtou-sama, Iâm really sorry.â
Papa lifts me on his knees for the first time in a long while and embraces me.
âSerafi, please, donât lock yourself up in your room. I have no heart for it.â
What I have the heart for, is being hugged by a dandy Minister from the morning. He has panda-eyes so I kissed under his eyes. It is a magic that absorbs fatigue. It was made just for panda-eyes like this. I will use it immediately.
ââŠReally, Serafionaâs magic is very⊠gentleâŠâ
Huh? Despite being a magic of the sucking system, it still transferred magic? I donât know that.
âYoung Ladyâ! Lu-samaâ! You must be hungry! Matsuki made a lot of pancakesâ!â
âMartha, good morning! Itadakimaâsu!â
ăSera, with plenty of cream!ă
âRoger!â
After breakfast, my father went to work while I jumped on Lu and left home. I must report to the guild about the events yesterday.
ăŒ
ââŠâŠSo, Lara-san, the big snake seems to have been sick and rampaged. I got this from the snake. If you use it as a purse, your money will increase. Can you please the hunters with this? Ah, and Hyer fruit Hyer fruitâŠâŠ here! Hyer fruit! Yes!â
I pull out the 10,000th time moulting skin of the snake like I practiced in fire-drills and pour out the Hyer fruits with a -goron- -goron- to Lara-san.
âSerafiona-chan⊠Itâs out of the norm⊠And yes, Iâll check with the hunters once, but it shouldnât be a problem. The guild request is complete! Thank you for your hard work!â
Lara-san said to me and passed me the reward. I signed it and received it.
8 gold coins glitters in my palm. Wowâââ!
âLu, itâs my first pay!â
ăYour first salary would best be offered to me who took care of you so much?ă
âYes yes. On the way home, why donât we buy souvenirs for everyone? What do you think?â
âYoung Ladyâ! That was so goodâ!â
The drunk Kodak-san, who has been drinking since the morning, lifted his glass.
I got tea from the counter, sat next to Kodak-san, and matched my cup with his.
I imitated like Iâm drinking alcohol and exhaled with a -puhaa-.
Ee, Kodak-san suddenly turned around⊠nosebleed? Was he drinking too much!?
âSerafiona, why donât you come here for a bit?â
Sieg-san comes from behind and smiles, beckoning me a bit.
I entrusted Kodak-san to Lara-san and entered the Guild Masterâs office.
Last time, on the sofa where Sieg-Guild Master was sitting is⊠Grandmother with a rugged face in a chic dress. When the door of the room closes, the gentle expression disappears from Sieg-san. I was urged to sit in front of Grandmother, and Sieg-san leaned on the desk.
âHime-sama, can you please report the details of yesterdayâs events to my Lord and me?â
Interrogation time. Well I was prepared.
âGrandmother, first of all, I apologize for calling Grandmotherâs private soldiers.â
âI canât judge whether the action was the right thing or not unless Iâve listened to the end. Tell me from the start.â
âYes. When I arrived at the location of the guildâs request, I arrived at the swamp, and the large snake that protected the area received a shot from lighting magic and was dying. I healed it in a hurry and when asked for details, it was attacked by magicians from the royal family. I thought that the possibility of them reappearing was high when seeing the situation of the scene, and after watching for a while, three Nationâs magicians and a girl appeared. Apparently, they were looking for the Lord of the forest. The girl seems to have been hurting again and again across the territory, and yesterday, they came to retrieve the Lord of the forest when it was weakened. And when they stepped into Trundle territory, I called for Grandmotherâs soldiers. The Big Snake molted its 10,000th time in front of me and became a small Silver Dragon. Thinking that there should be nothing more bothering the little Dragon in future, although it is not much, I cast on him a magical armor.â
I omitted the event with Lu.
âDoes Hime-sama use healing magic?â
âSieg! Everything stays in this room. So, back to your story, Serafiona, werenât you bloody?â
âGrandmother, everything is blood from others. I am⊠uninjured.â
Lu was hurt. Perhaps I canât deceive Grandmother, but I want to make Sieg-san think that it was the Papa dragonâs blood.
âI seeâŠâŠâ
Grandmother canât help being bothered about Luâs injury.
âSerafiona, Iâll ask you straightforwardly. You wouldâve been targeted allă»theă»same, was it not?â
I donât completely comprehend Maribelleâs motives, but she wanted the Sacred Beasts as future pieces and injured the small Dragon. Her final target is Lu, one of the strongest Sacred Beasts. Lu is one with me.
I glanced at Lu on my shoulder, then looked back at Grandmotherâs eyes.
âMaybe so.â
Killing intent bursts from Grandmother all at once! Oh, another killing intent? S-Sieg-san? Even Sieg-san, who always smiles gently, looks like a demon!He has a certain something swirling on his back!
âHey Elsa, can I kill them?â
ââŠKeep them alive. Weâre inquiring about the Magic Division right now. They wonât die unless I say so.â
âAh, err, the 4 from yesterday are still here?â
âIâm sorry, Hime. I didnât think they aimed for Hime so I still left them alive.â
âAh, well, did you both meet them?â
âHmm, I was observing Elsaâs private soldier interrogating them from behind.â
âSo, if you donât mind, could you tell me what they said?â
Sieg-san snorted.
âThat child just recently awakened magic powers, but her talents are terrible, they were just teaching her the basics in the Royalty territory and trying it out. They just happened to get lost in Trundle territory. Which they said was the cause for the footprints being there. In the first place, it means war when they striked with magic in Trundle territory. The child snake belongs to the kid, or so they said, that the snake belongs to her, and they simply came to retrieve whatâs theirs. They said they did nothing wrong. Does their magic-division only have fools?â
âSelefione, Trundle was declared to have become a territory more than 200 years ago, and those that trespassed in the territory can be dealt with according to our laws. It was also a notarized deed. It is well known by the people in other places that it is dangerous in the first place. Despite what theyâre saying⊠they canât not know this.â
-ton- -ton- the window sill is knocked. Grandmother stood up and received a letter from outside.
âWell⊠how surprising. That child is the only one whose life they begged for. The accompanying magicians are adults, so theyâre going to take responsibility themselves. It doesnât seem like they are going to pay any reparations for the skirmishâŠâ
If we declare to kill her and ignore it, then Trundle will be despised in the future. Grandmother has a cold face. For me who is not prepared like herâŠâŠ I canât say anything. But,
âGrandmother.â
Grandmother looks at me silently.
âMay I ask only one thing?â
âWhat might that be?â
âThat girl⊠What do you think of her?â
âWell⊠Sheâs a hollow child. I donât know where she got the knowledge, but Iâm worried for the Sacred Beasts. She does not know the effects of what she did, and she is very noisy. I guess, their magical division canât let go of her because she has more magic than the magicians?â
âAnd, Grandmother⊠werenât you attracted?â
ââŠWhere are the elements that will attract me?â
ââŠâŠHer freedom loving personality and wildness?â
âFreedom is a right only available to those who have fulfilled their obligations, isnât it?â
That is very much so⊠my tears are falling.
âS-Serafi-chan?â
ăâŠâŠIâm glad, Sera.ă
Lu rubs his cheeks against mine.
Grandmother was not fascinated by her.
