Chapter 327 – The New Year and the End of Childhood (3)
The conversation with Alexandra ended with that.
It wasn’t that I was kicked out because I had nothing to say and I finished watching, but because an urgent customer came. Listening to the story, it seems that he is a particularly big hand among the merchants of Lucregens.
The only room in this building that can receive high-class guests is the one we were talking about. There was no reason to make multiple parlors like this in the first place.
So, we decided to dig the spot as of that time.
“Looks like you have guests, so it wouldn’t be polite for us to remain in the parlor!”
I said so and left with my wives.
By no means did Alexandra run away because she was frightened by the unspoken pressure she felt from her smile. Even if he says it’s a run away, it’s a strategic mace or something.
I don’t know the people of this world, but in my hometown, it’s called the 36th family. Since ancient times, a wound on the back is a shame for foragers, so there’s no way I can escape.
“Lehween.”
So I left the drawing room.
I put off going to see the Freak Show performers who were being exploited by fuckers who thought it was the Cream Sauce Circus.
What we must not forget is that it was my false identity, Arthur Wayne, who saved them.
During the rescue operation, Alexandra met Fran, who was working with Ralilura. It means that you know that Nord = Arthur Wayne.
The other circus performers had heard that the man Lari Lura was following was the adventurer Nord — now that I think about it, she must have seen the letter Lalilura sent as well — so she must have been glad to see me.
In other words, if I wanted to meet the victims of Freak Show, I had to disguise myself as Arthur Wayne first.
Disguise itself is not very difficult if rune magic is used. The problem is timing.
On the same day that Nord, who hangs out with Ralilura, came, Arthur Wayne also came? Anyone but an idiot could think of putting the two together.
It must have been because of that that Mr. Alexandra said to light his face ‘when the time is right’.
Maybe it didn’t mean to come again next time, not today. Every word you said was a double line. Creepy
Anyway, today I was on the way to handing over a letter I had written with borrowed paper and a pen.
There is no need to reply, and it is the content of the fight that I contacted you through Lalilura once because I was curious about how you were doing.
Originally, I grew up as a tsundere-passive K-macho following my father, so I wasn’t used to humble things like saying hello, but sometimes I’ll need something like this.
“Pooooo! (Nunnaaah!)”
I was going down the stairs without getting lost, when I suddenly heard the cry of a baby elephant.
It’s cute to just listen to the sound, but it’s hard to be interpreted.
‘Tsubeol. I also want to listen to the cries of animals without thinking.’
I chewed on my automatic translation ability for the first time in a while and followed it to where the sound came from.
The baby elephant I saw the other day got distracted by her size and rubbed her face against Lari Lura.
〈Ahahaha♡! Why did you grow up so much!〉
“Pooooo~. (Heheeng~.)”
It seemed that he had also reunited with the animals of the circus called Rarilu. Her circus performers, who happily stared at her near her, seemed to be watching her relative’s tricks.
Mocona, who guided us, recognized me and spoke to her. I nodded.
“Aha, that’s right. As you can see, they are playing with animal children.〉
It was me who stopped talking and put the words back down my throat.
I was going to say, ‘I came to tell you that it doesn’t matter if you sleep here today’, but for some reason, it’s a bit like that.
That’s why it’s like, ‘Of course they’ll come back to us, but it’s okay to stay here tonight~’, doesn’t it?
Maybe it’s self-consciousness, but maybe it’s after talking to Alexandra-san? It was very embarrassing to speak in that tone.
While Mocona was talking, she looked at me strangely. I tried to rack my brain to come up with an excuse or something, but luckily I didn’t have to.
─Pair! Match! Match!
At the railing on the second floor, Alexandra clapped her hands, attracting the attention of the members.
Like an elementary school teacher, when we started clapping three times, all the members listened intently. Even Lari Lura, who was playing with the elephant, corrected her expression like her habit, and when she saw me, her eyes widened.
Alexandra, who had spoken from the words of apology, calmly continued his words.
Perhaps, while I was delivering the letter written in Arthur Wayne’s name, such talk had been going on in the drawing room.
The members also seemed to understand what they were talking about, whether they knew the situation in the city.
The members who answered with their mouths together.
Even the animals in the circus showed signs of grasping what was going on and pretended to have a rough idea, but only Lari Lou Lah mumbled her mouth. Alexandra smiled and said.
〈… Uh… That…〉
Before the troubled Lalilura could wink at me, I struck first.
“You can do whatever you want.”
Telepathy, launch, convenient for confidential exchanges of opinions.
After hearing my words, Larry Lura whimpered as if she wanted to think a little more, then raised her index finger with a heheh laugh.
〈If today is just one day♡〉
“Yeah, well thought out. We’re going to put together right away, so get ready for the rehearsal.”
At Alexandra’s reply, who seemed to know that, the other members also let out a sigh of regret and understanding. They, too, noticed that Lari Lura had no intention of returning immediately.
There is no circus that goes on forever, no meeting without parting.
Circus performers were accustomed to parting as they had been wandering for a long time. Without making a big fuss, Lalilura ran to me.
“Senior! Sorry. That’s it!”
“What are you sorry about? You do it if you want to.”
─Tuk. When I blew the jigun, which was weak against Mafak, Lalilura finally smiled as if she was relieved, grabbing her forehead.
“Aha♡ Don’t worry! I’ll get my daily wages right!”
“Either way. Oh, after that, I’m staying here for the night. It would be a pity if we broke up after talking for a while and practicing for the performance.”
As much as possible, she intended to speak casually, but she seemed to have been caught out at once. Rari Lura, who twisted her head in a corner, narrowed her eyes and let her smug smile emerge.
“… Hmmm? Hehe~?”
“Whether it’s huh uhm or heheeng, if you have something to say, let’s do it. Are you twisted?”
“No no~♡? It’s not like that. Huhuhu♡ Ehehehehe♡”
She chuckled like a baby squirrel as she let out her mouth-to-ear lari lura, her rambunctious laugh.
“Senior~♡? Be honest. Were you worried that you might be saying goodbye to me today? It’s okay! I understand 100% of your affectionate feelings~?”
“No, I wasn’t even worried about it.”
When I said it with a friendly expression, her dog, Lari Lu, her face softened as if she had seen a puppies acting cute.
“Really♡! It’s all obvious from your expression, but you’re not being honest! I see. The good me will pass. Would you like to thank me?”
“Hey Sipal, you said you weren’t really worried, so why don’t you believe me?”
I know you followed us first, so why worry about that?
That’s right, maybe she’s saying she’ll stay here because she misses her old co-workers and the captain… I was very worried, though.
She said yes, but she tried to hide it because if she said it openly, she would say that she liked it again, so she tried to hide it. The road to a poker face is long and difficult.
More than that, why does he keep tapping her on someone else’s arm? Is it a provocation command?
“You don’t have to worry about such an idiot, but I find it enjoyable and rewarding enough to be with seniors and her older sisters, right?”
“Thank you for that, you will be thrilled. Wipe away your tears.”
I clicked my tongue and handed her a handkerchief. Lari Lura bit her tongue and wiped away the tears that overflowed from her laughter.
“Today’s performance, you want to make a reservation for VIP seats? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you fell for my charms in economy class and got pickpocketed♡?”
“You, if you didn’t have eyes to see here, you entered true education right away. Are you ready to come back?”
I was dumbfounded and said that only through her telepathy, but Lalilura half-opened her eyes, made a loudspeaker with her hands, and whispered softly in my ear.
“Senpai, didn’t you forget your date for lunch tomorrow?”
The sound of laughter, transmitted telepathically, giggled in my ears.
When I laughed, Lari Loura let her red face looming over her embarrassment, which she couldn’t hide, and smiled like a sunflower.
“Are you prepared? Well, since tomorrow is our first date, you will have to suffer all day.”
Those words, too, were whispered softly so that no one could hear them, just the two of us telepathically.
