Chapter 015: [Sisters]
“Cough...”
At that mont, Shien’s face stiffened and he had nothing to say.
For an otherworlder like Shien, the girl’s statent was unquestionably arrogant.
If it was in his previous life, it wouldn’t be strange for her to be taken as a weird show-off.
Unfortunately, this is a different world of swords and sorcery. With the existence of gods, a Demon King, and even nobility and royalty. There are even races besides humans. Therefore, that particular statent might not be all that strange in this world.
But, it does an one thing.
And that is that the girl in front of him is either soone ignorant and arrogant, or she’s a true young lady with an atypical background.
Either way though, Shien doesn’t want to get entangled with her.
If that happens, then based on how plots usually go, various troubles are sure to follow.
Therefore, Shien decisively made his choice.
“My apologies then. Please forgive for my ignorance. I’ll go ahead and excuse myself then.”
Leaving those words, Shien humbly lowered himself and then turned heels and ran.
“You...”
The girl was stunned.
Obviously, the girl never anticipated that Shien would do sothing like that.
And by the ti the girl managed to react again, Shien had already rged into the crowd, and not a shadow of him could be seen anymore.
The girl stared at the direction Shien disappeared in for a few seconds before breaking out in giggles.
That laughter rang out like a bell. It was a very charming sound.
Such a few should have enchanted all around her. It wouldn’t have been out of the question for so to beco chard or drunk off her presence.
However, the crowds around her acted as if no one had detected such a beauty among them and instead passed her by without any response.
Until…
“Milady.”
When the girl’s laughter finally dropped off, an emotionless, toneless voice spoke up.
At so point, soone had split off from the crowd and moved towards the girl.
If Shien was still around, he would definitely have been surprised.
Because, the person in question looked absolutely identical to the girl as if they were forged from the sa mold. The two were like twin sisters. Be it height, build, hair or eye color. Everything was identical.
The only difference is that this new girl not only kept an emotionless voice, she did not show a hint of her feelings. In addition, she wasn’t wearing a dress, but a maid’s uniform.
If the girl before was a young lady out for a stroll, the maid would be a competent and reliable servant.
“You’re here, Lasha.”
The girl looked at the maid bearing the sa appearance as herself and showed a happy and loving smile.
“Yes. I’ve already bought the items Milady requested.”
The maid nad Lasha replied in an indifferent tone. She had a bag in her arms, and from the delectable scent wafting from it, it should be filled with delicious foodstuff.
It would be easy to infer that Lasha was asked by the girl to buy snacks for her.
However, looking at the happy expression on the girl’s face, Lasha was puzzled.
“You seem to be in a good mood, Milady Leisha.”
Lasha saw through her thoughts.
The girl – Leisha – didn’t seem to particularly an to hide it either.
“Don’t mind it. I just saw an interesting adventurer. That’s all.” Leisha seed to be still thinking about what had happened a mont ago. She spoke while keeping her joyful smile, “It wasn’t from fear or respect, nor was it because he knew my history. It was just because I didn’t give out my na, so he ran away as if he’s afraid of getting into sothing troubleso. It really is the first ti I’ve seen soone like that.”
Hearing the response, Lasha didn’t ask any more questions.
Although she had no idea just what happened, but a situation where Leisha ended up doing sothing on a whim was sothing she was already used to.
After all, the lady that Lasha served, the lady who was like her twin sister, simply was just such a whimsical and flighty person.
This ti as well, she must have done sothing because of a passing whim, right?
Only…
“It has been a long ti since I’ve seen Milady so happy.”
Lasha spoke her thoughts honestly.
“That is true, now that you’ve said it.” Leisha unconsciously pulled back her smile and reminisced, “How long has it been since the last ti I was able to laugh so happily?”
Leisha could no longer rember it clearly.
But Leisha didn’t continue down that path of thought. Rather, she quickly gave off an unburdened expression.
“Speaking of...”
Leisha once more looked in the direction in which Shien left, and her eyes lightly flickered.
“That adventurer’s magic power was rather special though, and the package he was carrying seed to also contain a familiar power. I wasn’t just imagining things was I?”
Leisha begun to consider.
Back when she started a conversation with Shien, that was a bigger reason than just because she was struck with a whim after hearing his words.
“My [Identity Obfuscation] didn’t seem to have any effect on him either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have instantly noticed my existence even with starting the conversation on my initiative, but he did clearly shifted his gaze to right that mont.”
Leisha mumbled under her breath.
“It can’t be that he’s...”
Perhaps she thought of sothing, but Leisha’s gaze started turning cold and dangerous.
“Milady?”
Lasha, who had no what Leisha was thinking, awakened her from her thoughts.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
Leisha recovered her smile and said so to Lasha.
Of course…
“It looks like we’ll be be staying in this town for a while.”
With that kind of thought, Leisha turned around and left.
Seeing that, Lasha didn’t ask anymore questions and silently followed.
……
On the other side, Shien, who had no idea that he’s under soone’s crosshairs, gave a sigh of relief.
Shien doesn’t want to get entangled in new problems when his own troubles haven’t even been resolved yet.
“Let’s find sowhere to rest for now, and enjoy my first night in a human civilization of another world.”
Shien, who didn’t want to keep thinking about troubleso things, thus decided.
After ten days of living like a savage, he really wants to change his living standards.
As for the rest…
“I’ll deal with it later.”
Thus, Shien begun wandering around the town.
