The promotion for the samples requested by Kuro…… I feel like it took quite a while, going around to various places, but it ended without any issues.
Well, it was actually quite enjoyable. I visited some places I hadn’t been to before and heard some interesting stories. Even though I thought I knew a lot after being in Trinia for a while, I realized there are still overwhelmingly many places I haven’t been to.
I want to visit various places again, but for the time being, I’ll just take it easy for a while……
[Master, may I have a moment?]
[Anima? Unn, what’s up?][There’s a letter addressed to Master requesting a visit to the mansion. Normally, we would handle such requests here, but the letter mentioned that the sender had previously met you and introduced themselves, so I came here to confirm.]
[Hmm? People who send such letters are usually nobles, right? If they were connected to the Six Kings, they’d contact us through the Six Kings’ Executives or the Six Kings themselves…… Ahh, well, if we’ve met directly, it wouldn’t be strange for them to send a letter. By the way, who is it?]
I’m quite famous among the nobility, so I often receive such letters. Even so, compared to the letters that reach Lilia-san, mine are fewer, thanks to the various Kings and Alice who keep things in check.
Most of the letters are invitations to parties or requests to meet and talk once. Basically, Anima handles the refusals on my behalf, and I only receive letters from acquaintances.
However, this time, Anima looked puzzled, so I guess she didn’t recognize the name of the person who sent the letter.
But since Anima manages almost everything about my house, including the assets, and is my lover whom I talk to often, is there someone I know whose name she doesn’t know?
[The letter states it’s from someone named Jane Doe, do you have an idea who that might be?][A- Ahh! I see, it’s from Jane-san huh…… Unn. She had been accompanying Laguna-san to the ship party the other day, and I exchanged greetings with her at that time.]
[I see, in that case, that makes sen…… Master? Did you just say that Jane Doe was someone who accompanied Laguna-dono?]
[Eh? Unn, that should be the case……]
[That’s odd. I know the names of all the guests and their companions, but I don’t recall a Jane Doe among Laguna-dono’s companions…… No, there shouldn’t even be anyone named Jane Doe at the party…… Ah, no, it’s possible I simply forgot but……]
[……Eh? Arehh?]
That does sound strange. While it’s possible Anima could have forgotten, the number of people who were at the ship party as companions of the participants, rather than as my acquaintances, was very small. I think it was fewer than ten people or so.
Also, wasn’t Jane-san a noble from Hydra Kingdom…… No, wait. She didn’t say anything like that. She mentioned how her high-class aura had been leaking, but never had she explicitly say she was a noble.
[……That certainly was odd, but she didn’t seem like a bad person……]
[That’s true. Shallow Vernal-sama and Alice-dono were at the party as well, and it’s hard to believe they’d just overlook an intruder.]
[Hmmm…… Alice, do you know anything about Jane-san?]
What Anima said makes sense. Since Alice was at the party, it’s unlikely she would have overlooked someone who wasn’t supposed to be there. So, I thought asking Alice would be the best option. Surprisingly though, Alice also appeared troubled.
[Hmmm…… She might be an Otherworld God. I remember the names and faces of the residents of this world, but she doesn’t match any of them. After the party, I checked, but there were no sightings of her anywhere else, and in the first place, this is just my estimates, but she should be Omnipotent level.]
[That’s quite the outrageous thing you’re saying there…… Heck, you’re saying you remember the names and faces of everyone in the world so nonchalantly…… Well, nevermind. So, Jane-san is likely an Otherworld God?]
[The possibility of that being the case is quite high, but she implied something along the lines of having been a God before, so she might have some circumstances. However, she showed no hostility towards Kaito-san, and she seems to have received permission from Shallow Vernal-sama to come, so I don’t think she’s in any way a problem. I also asked Shallow Vernal-sama about her, and from what she said, “She’s a God who created a world that doesn’t exist anymore, and as she requested to stay in this world for a while, I granted permission.”. Other than those words, she didn’t provide any further details.]
[I see…… Well, she doesn’t seem to be a bad person, and I’d like to hear what she has to say…… Anima, could you reply and let her know she’s welcome to visit?]
[Understood.]
It seems like matters were more significant than I expected, but she really does seem like a good person. With Alice and Shiro-san knowing about her, it might be unnecessary to worry too much.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [The fact is, she’s been thoroughly educated by the Absolute, so she’s extremely sensible…… I mean, for her to not have visited as she pleased and asked permission in writing beforehand, I think she’s already pretty sensible at that point.]
