Foreigner's Mistake

Book 7: Chapter 101: Magic Sword ~ 09

Leia took Lies with her and walked out of the hollow. Outside, it was not raining, but thick clouds were hanging in the air and heavy humidity was clinging to the ground. Leia was silent, and the atmosphere was so heavy.

Still, she is just as beautiful as the story says she is, or even more so, Liz thinks. Her skin has turned pale after becoming Immortal King, but that would not have spoiled her beauty in any way. Her hair is fiery red and her eyes are stark.

Distancing herself from the tree a little, Leia turned around and looked back at Liz. She looked back at her silently, and Liz was uncomfortable with her piercing gaze, but still, she met Leia's gaze.

Um, what is it?

Leia squints a little at Liz's question, then takes a small breath.

Create Stone

Waving her arms in a fuh, she said one word. Three small box-shaped stones appear at her side. It is an Earth-based art. Leia sits down on one of the stones and invites Liz to sit on the other one. The roadbed was a mess because of the rain that had been falling until yesterday, and the soil that had been dug up by the explosion was soft, so it would have been impossible to sit on the ground like that. Finally, Leia gave a thin smile.

Today is Minerva's day. It seems that my Lord does not approve of you showing their amity, so I have removed you from the room.

Oh, Now I understand. So..

Liz understood that Satoru still had reservations about her. She also knew that it would not happen overnight. When Liz blamed herself for not having chosen to leave her seat at that point, Leia smiled a little, rummaged inside her own cloak, and pulled out a large bag. It was like a pocket of a hundred-dimensional pocket, but Liz was just stunned. She knows it's an application of the Immortal King's special ability, Shadow Diving, but she doesn't how it works.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Choose two of these. I left out the important ones last night, so don't hesitate.

Uh, all right.

It must be a bag of ornaments. Last night, Satoru had mentioned the idea of putting defensive arts into ornaments, so Liz's nodded her head honestly.

Zarara, Leia carelessly arranges various ornaments from the leather bag on the stone. All of them were so sparkling and glittering that, from Liz's point of view, it was almost blinding, but Leia showed no sign of caring. As expected of Leia-san, Liz admires and looks down at the ornaments.

I also wanted to talk to you about something else. Oh, you can choose first.

After raising her small head and looking at Leia's face, Liz turned her gaze again to the pile of ornaments. All of them seemed to be high-end items that would be out of reach in normal life, but She was not sure if it was really appropriate to give them to her, Liz had a great deal of confusion.

Don't hesitate too long and choose the one you think is right. If you get lost, there will be no end to it.

Thank you for the advice.

A chari-n sound came from Leia, who gave her advice, and Liz's looked up. Leia's earrings, which seemed to have been carved out of white crystal, were hanging from her ears. The white earrings looked great on her red hair and suited her perfectly. Liz felt miserable. Liz is a half-elf who grew up in an elf village, and the elf tribe also has many beautiful and good-looking people. Because she had also suffered a certain amount of persecution in such a situation, Liz is not confident in her own appearance. From her point of view, Leia's beauty is of a different dimension. Serving under the same Lord as such a beautiful woman even if it's not a good thing, it stimulates a sense of inferiority.

With a small shake of her head, Liz manages to drive her weak heart out of her head.

Oh, this is good

Liz picked up a red jeweled hairpin. For some reason, she felt like she was being called out. Leia just nodded without saying anything in particular. After selecting another bracelet, Leia slowly opened her mouth.

Liz. I'm going to tell you the truth. I have not fully accepted you.

.........

Liz gasped at the chilling declaration of Satoru's first magical slave. Leia says, "Oh," at Liz's tense demeanor.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like you personally or anything. You are not the problem. You are smart and you know what you are doing. The problem is you.

Leia didn't say all that. She doesn't hate Liz, and Leia knows she knows what she's doing, but she just thinks that if this girl, who is a potent combination of both medicine and poison, is going to be a poison to Satoru, then she had no choice but to get rid of her. Of course, she doesn't show it.

Ah, Lies said, sounding convinced. At the same time, she was relieved to be told that there was nothing to be said against her. She nodded her head.

......I knew it, the reason is that I look like Onii-san's younger sister?

Indeed. It is my memory, so it may not be a strictly correct picture. ...... Mental image

Leia opens her right palm to execute the art. A picture of Satoru and a girl laughing appeared on her palm. Liz's face becomes indescribable when she sees the picture.

This is ......

It is a picture of my Lord's sister from the Keitai Denwa(Phone) or something like that that my Lord has.

Certainly .......We are very similar. Just different ears and different ages.

The picture was reproduced from Leia's memory, so technically it may be a little different, but the girl smiling in the picture, which Liz could easily identify as such, looked very much like herself. However, although she is much younger than herself, the resemblance is so striking that it is understandable that Satoru would compare herself with his younger sister in the picture.

Is this okay?

No problem. As you know, I have been secluded for a little over 200 years. Therefore, there is a slight discrepancy with the common sense of today's world, but basic things such as reading, writing, and arithmetic are irrelevant. You seem to be a smart person, and if you work hard in these areas, you will probably be able to be of service to our Lord. Of course, if you are willing to do so.

By all means, please!

Leia nodded at Liz's immediate response.

If my Lord returns to the his original world, the study would be of use to you, who would remain in this world.. My Lord may look crude, but he is a man who thinks a lot. When my Lord leaves this world, I would like to shave off some of the worries about the future.

...... You're a hard worker, Leia-san

Maybe

Leia returned with a wry smile, and Liz couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship with her.

There's something different about the facts that were handed down in fairy tales.

Liz mentioned it casually, but Leia narrowed her eyes a little and gave her a cold stare. The cold stare was a look of intimidation that she had never felt before, which made her shudder. Seeing the half-elf girl's obvious change in attitude, Leia removed her gaze from Liz's and smiled self-mockingly.

...... That's right. Of course, this is not a topic that should be spoken about.

Liz was surprised to hear Leia mutter something like that. This is because she now knows that this first magical slave, who summoned Satoru to this world, has not told her Lord about her past. After working together for nearly 50 days, she had not told him about her fairy-tale past.......

Why not? By now, Rothfort has probably forgotten the past sacrifices. Why did Leia-san not...

We've already been over this.

By actually holding out her hand, Leia made Liz stop speaking. Liz noticed the pained color in Leia's smirk and couldn't say more.

My Lord does not know my story. He is aware that something happened in my past, but he doesn't want to know unless I tell him thoroughly. Therefore, you must not tell our Lord about my past.

All, right

She is not convinced. But Liz nodded nonetheless. There was something deep between Satoru and Leia that she could not know. It was not something that she, who had only joined the group yesterday, could interject into.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief at Liz's understanding. At this rate, she would not even have to dispose of Liz's body at the risk of being killed by Satoru.

For Leia, Satoru is everything. Even if it means her death or being killed by Satoru, if it is truly for Satoru's sake, she will not hesitate. She is ready for that.

Then, the time with Minerva has just begun. Shall we work on our studies, even if just a little?

Yes, ma'am,.

Liz turns a cheerful smile, putting aside all the previous trappings. Considering how smart Liz is, it is rewarding to be the one to teach her.

....... Wait a minute.

Okay?

Suddenly, Leia held out her hand to stop Liz from moving. She looked at Leia curiously, who was mumbling and muttering with a slightly distant look in her eyes. Leia glanced at Liz and with a mischievous smile on her face, she turned her right hand around with her index finger raised and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

Flame bomb!

At the moment, smoke rose quite far away. A little later, a Kaboom! sound arrives.

.........

She must have used sorcery to blow away those approaching him. Liz understood that. Leia was good at the art of Warding, and she had a thin, wide, sensing-type Wardingaround this tree, so she must have noticed the contact and made a move.

She would certainly not want to take the trouble here. Satoru is currently devoting a whole day to Minerva. Even though she could not let them get in his way, Liz shuddered again when she saw up close the horror of Leia Lwenstadt, who had used her mighty sorcery to knock down the disturbers with assurances.

After all, the beautiful girl in front of her was a fearsome being with a powerful soul who had lived a little over two hundred years.

She is a graceful beauty who looks not so different from herself in age, but she is at a distance, aware of the enemy while talking to her, and uses murderous sorcery without hesitation a stark contrast to herself, which also makes her fearful.

Well, let's study

Leia, who spoke smoothly as if nothing had happened, took a piece of parchment and a pen from her pocket and placed them on a table made of stone.

The first thing Liz did was to learn how to write, but being alone with this terrifying Immortal King made Lies feel restless.
