Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

Shinto Elsfia La Shime Castle

The day after the spectator ceremony.

Invited to dinner by Sofiteia, Olivia was escorted by Claudia and Ashton, who looked anxious, into a pick-up carriage and headed for La Shime Castle.

"The uniform was brilliant and looked good on me, but the dress was also nice."

That was Sofiteia's first voice. Olivia tilted her neck as she stared at her dress, dyed in purple.

Really?

"Yeah, it really suits me."

The dress Olivia was wearing was prepared by Sofiteia for today and was delivered yesterday by Angelica. Olivia said she didn't mind wearing a uniform, but Claudia told me it would be rude, so I had to wear it.

By the way, Sofiteia's dress was still dazzling today. When Olivia talks about it, Sofiteia gently puts her mouth around Olivia's ear and whispers, "Actually, everything I wear is looked after by the maid, so there is no choice." I can't say a great thing about clothes, but it is inconvenient for the Lord of a country to still be unable to choose his own clothes.

(Even so, do you always eat at such a large table?

It seems like more than twenty people can sit on one side alone. With that in mind, he sat in a chair that was pulled softly, and the door of the next room was opened, and the maids carrying shiny silver wagons appeared in line. The maids set the dishes in front of Olivia in a tight motion. Compared to Farnest kingdom cuisine, Shinto Mekia's cuisine is generally light, but it has a delicate flavor. This is what Olivia liked.

"Please do not hesitate to eat."

"Yeah, let Ashton tell me. I think I put the word" no "in my mother's womb.

"Fufu. That was an extra word."

"That's the way it is."

Olivia eats dishes that line up with cheap food from one end. What was so fun about it was that Sofiteia was staring at Olivia with a smile.

Sophitea, whose throat was moistened with wine poured into the glass, called out to Olivia, who was still fully committed to eating.

"He went to the library yesterday."

Oh, yeah.

Olivia answers with her cheeks fully inflated.

There is much to see in Shinto Mekia. Chansul Street, which is one of the busiest in the Shinto Ersfia, is lined up with shops that handle a variety of products, and it's a vibrant street that won't attract even the big countries. I wondered why Olivia chose the library because she ignored them.

"Come on. Wahahahahahahahahaha"

"Um... did you say you liked books?

Olivia waves her neck vertically without stopping at all. Speaking of surprises, Sofitia was surprised by the unexpected story. Because I didn't have the image of reading a book quietly from my usual feeling. By the way, when I asked what kind of books I would read, I found out that I was reading books of all genres ─ ─ and that was what the scholar would get, and Sofiteia was surprised twice.

"Olivia really likes books."

After drinking what was in her mouth, Olivia nodded with a smile.

"Zed. He gave me a lot of books."

"Zed wrote a book... did Olivia live with Zed?

"Yeah, we lived together in a deep forest."

I had been told that I didn't know my parents, so I somehow expected that Zed would be the parent of Olivia. I just didn't think Sofiteia lived in the woods, not in the city or village.

I ordered Olivia to run background checks, but now I'm convinced she didn't have any information before she applied for the Royal Army.

"You lived in the woods?

"That's right. I don't think it's that far from here."

To Olivia, who talked softly, Sofiteia almost zeroed out the glass. If the story is true, it is unlikely that Olivia and Zed lived in the woods in the Territory.

Sofiteia laughed bitterly inside, but summoned the butler and ordered him to bring the map.

"Do you know where the forest is?

Expanding on an instantly prepared map around the shrine of Mekia, Olivia looks at the whole place and points out one point: "Here it is."

Sofiteia accidentally saw it twice.

"For the record, are you sure about this forest?

"Yeah, I'm not wrong."

"Really...."

As a result, it was not in the territory of the Shinto Mecchia. To put it further, I do not belong to any country. The forest indicated by Olivia is a large forest, commonly referred to as the "forest of no-go", located southwest of the shrine of Mechia. As the name suggests, it is famous as a magical place where once you step in, you will never come back.

In the past, I sent a few people to investigate to ascertain the truth of the rumors, but no one came back.

Olivia said she lived in the woods without going home.

(I don't think she's lying, and there's no reason for that. You're really just surprised.)

Sofiteia continues her conversation to bring out more information while pretending to be calm on the surface.

"Since when did Olivia live in the woods?

"Since I was a baby."

Judging from the way she talked about her spectacular past, Sofiteia decided that she didn't care about what she had been thrown away, and at the same time was convinced that Zed was definitely the parent of her upbringing. I wonder why the beast didn't eat me in the woods.

When asked about the situation, Olivia laughed, saying, "I don't know why because I'm a baby." I laughed bitterly at my whisper that it was true.

(Well, that's enough for today.)

Satisfied with some information, Sofitia once again corrected her residence and looked straight at Olivia.
