98. People approaching

I was talking to Serra and the others. Looking outside, it was sometime in the evening. You've been talking longer than I thought... And thinking about it, someone approached where we were.

"(Somebody's coming...)"

"Huh?

Then I heard a strange voice from Serra. When I looked at Serra for a moment, she looked at me with a bewildered look. Apparently (someone's coming...) what I thought was in my mouth. If you hear that all of a sudden, you can't help but be surprised and sound strange... I thought. Someone even approached me while I was thinking about it and peered into my tease.

I didn't know who the person who had been peeking at me was, but she was a woman and she was wearing makeup. It just feels like a bummer...... But since you don't look that old, maybe a couple of thirties? Thinking of that, the woman approached Louis with a grin when she realized Louis was there.

"Isn't that Louis? What are you doing here?

"... talk to the child who came to the village"

Louis turned his gaze toward me as he seemed to know who the woman was and looked a little awkward. Then the woman looked at me with a slight frown and somehow let her look upset with a step back.

"Heh, heh. This girl?

Louis nodded at the woman's query.

"... is this child alone?

"With a woman..."

"Oh yeah....! Why are you with Louis?"

The woman looked a little calm when she heard about Louis. When Serra, who was near me, noticed that she was strangling herself about it, she was revealing her anger as she hung her eyes.

"Oh, that's..."

Meanwhile, Serra looked slightly frightened as she paled. Why are you scared? And while I'm surprised, I wish I could say you came to visit with me... and one thing that crossed my mind when I thought that. Could this be the guy Louis was talking to earlier? and. But I immediately thought that was different. 'Cause he said he was four older people that Louis told me, but this guy seemed older than that.

Uh-huh. Then what's the relationship between this woman and Louis? And you think maybe you're from Louis' relatives? I thought.
