After a change of clothes and a light meal, I had Susana comb my dry hair while applying light makeup to the tearful face in the mirror.
"Dear Noah... I've actually been wondering if I should tell you before I left King's Landing..."
Susana's face, brushing her hair in the mirror, was dark and cloudy.
My grandmother taught me recently that she was part of a family of detectives who have served my family for a long time.
I was surprised to hear that Susana's family had gathered information from all over the kingdom, from various city well sources to rumors of nobility, and had told my grandmother and father.
My sister and my beloved Suzana also worked as a detective when I was asked to be an adventurer or when I was away from the Mansion after practicing magic under my mentors everywhere.
I now understood that my father had accompanied Susana on this journey as a candidate in anticipation of his ability to do so.
Susana leaked information that she was not sure what to tell her.
"Suzanne, I am the blood of the House of Enestrosa.You told me to share information about the house with me, just like my father did?
"Yeah, yeah. I have heard that from Cassandra and my mother.However, the information is information...I was wondering what to tell you, and I got into this situation.I'm really sorry.If only I had told her sooner.... "
Susana, who was brushing her hair, apologized with tears from her eyes.
I could not hide my surprise in Susana's sudden tears, which I had never seen before, such as crying with calm deposition.
"Why are you crying?You mean you didn't give me that much information?
Ask Susana what she meant by tears through the mirror.
"... yes"
Speaking of which, when Frick decided to come to this village to find Alphine, Susana hurried me out of King's Landing...
I wonder if it has anything to do with that...
Then give me the information here immediately.I believe that there is a good reason why thoughtful Susana stopped communicating. "
Susana's face in the mirror was still twirling and twirling like she was cruising something.
However, it soon disappeared and returned to the usual cool Susana expression, brushing her hair and restarting her mouth.
"As a matter of fact, just before I left King's Landing, my father in Yughhanots sent me..."
"From Lorraine?
"Yes, I thought it was a letter asking about Abyss Walker's progress in gathering information... no."
So?
"Yes, the letter says that Kensei Alphine is turning into a male adventurer called Al and is an adventurer in Yughhanots.And Al wrote that he knew that Mr. Flick was Finn, and he went to Invahanes to ask him about his footsteps. "
The information Susana gave me shocked me as if I had been hit in the head.
Does Al mean that Al?
You're kidding, right? You're talking about a different person with the same name, right?
No, is it more important that Mr. Alphine be alive?
Hey, there's a little too much information to understand.
"Susana!?Hold on a sec! That's what I'm talking about. "
"I couldn't understand it from the first reading either, so I read my father's letter again hundreds of times.And I've always wondered if I should share this information with Noah and Flick.... "
Susana leaned on her face when she said that.
Let me sort it out. First of all, is it OK to confirm that Kensei Alphine is alive?
"Yes, my father was there when he changed his appearance, and I'm sure he called Alphine to confirm his identity."
Mr. Alphine is alive.
When I thought so, the moody feeling with joy in me also springed up at the same time, but it couldn't be suppressed.
"Is that the Al youth I met in Devon Village?
"Yes, the young male adventurer I met at that time was Alphine.I was told I was looking for Finn, who became Flick, and I'm sure of it. "
"That Al...."
He had a blonde blue eye and a neutral look, but Alphine's provisional appearance was created with the help of Susana's father, Lorraine.
Indeed, I was surprised to learn that Mr Flick has changed considerably since I met him...
It's no wonder that Mr. Alphine has changed his appearance a lot.
In my memory, Al's face, which spoke in the illumination of Finn, appeared.
I thought they were men, so I thought it was an extension of friendship, so I heard it, but when I combined the information I just touched on Susana with the information I heard from Alphine's acquaintance in King's City, I settled down to one answer.
Alphine loved and probably didn't love Fine, who has lived with her for so long.
The two people who were attracted to each other would have slightly missed some kind of applause, and it would have turned into a situation like this.
I felt the edge lying between them that could not be cut, and I felt pain in the back of my chest.
I am nothing but a stranger who accidentally penetrated into the gap between the two unbroken edges.
It was in this situation that a foreign molecule named me who interrupted me blended into the gap that Frick-sama was missing.
Shouldn't I have liked Master Frick...?
Susana told me the truth, and I suddenly feel like I've become a very bad woman.
I had a hunch that Flick still had Alphine in his heart.
I thought it was fine, but when I got caught in front of me, I had no confidence in myself until then.
If the two meet and discuss properly, this gap will be resolved, and I, who is nothing but a heretic, will have to leave Master Flick.
I'm sure this is a punishment that Alphine didn't find as it was, and thought it would be better if she died somewhere in secret.
It must have been the punishment for dreaming of high hopes that I could secretly admire, but I couldn't possibly have a lewd girlfriend.
"Dear No-area... I'm sorry.I will punish you for not telling such an important story until today. "
Susana's mood for apologizing for her tears was painfully understandable.
When I hear this story, which I am unfamiliar with sex, I think I will be shocked, and I think I have been unable to say it for a long time, and I feel sorry for myself.
"No, Susana had a hard time for me....."
From the swollen eyes hidden by makeup, Shizukuzuku the tears she had endured conveyed to her cheeks.
The tears that I thought had washed away continued to flow, and I could only cover my face when my makeup collapsed and became worse.
"... Dear Noah..."
"When Frick wakes up, I will tell him what happened to Alphine and apologize to him properly.Until then, I'll let you cry here for a while. "
"... I understand."
Until the night Frick woke up, I cried in my wagon regretting my foolishness.
