The Girl Who Spits Up Jewels (WN)
[Experience School Day 2] 8: 00 p.m. (2)
Being alone under the street lights, Sputnik thinks.
Where I want to go in this city right now... there's no way I didn't.
Lighted windows, of the Crew Lol mansion. Was there a crew in one of those? I wonder what you were doing. Would you have even been bickering at the servants, or would you have worked on the homework they gave you at school? I hope I'm not crying in love with Liafiat City.
A face that sounds like it would be fun to talk about what was school. Face worrying with a funny look before homework. I can easily imagine all of them, even a face with tears in its arms holding a stuffed animal. Sputnik has seen her face for so long, and she has lived with her - the wizard. sister. Also, thoughts begin to swirl and tear in front of her.
But the glare did not last long. It's
"Oh. Sputnik?
A new source of stress reached Sputnik's ear.
The source is behind it. I remember my voice - but I don't want to be involved - but I can't stay out of it - I turn my neck, feeling like I've even become an oily hinge. One man was there.
Yuki's "Fiancée," Lau. He also seemed surprised to meet Sputnik.
"Sputnik, you, how did you get here? Is the job good?"
"There was a call from a superior, and he quickly went out."
And while I answered, I remembered - about the employee crew.
If this man has nothing to do with Crewlor's mansion either, he might know what she's up to. What's going on with that one now? How are you doing with Crew Lol? Were you able to go to school? Aren't you alone and lonely in a strange place?
... I was about to ask that,
"No."
Open once, shut your mouth. Don't ask, or waved.
When you think about who Krew is, it's hard to say that Krew has nothing to do with the wizard either. But that's about the 'this side' issue, and 'childish extraordinary' such as the experiential school that Crewe is enjoying right now has nothing to do with this issue so far. So it shouldn't be something Sputnik dares to know now.
Besides, Krew's experiential school decided to let her go alone and learn by herself, so Sputnik should not be involved in her life until Krew had finished experiential school and returned to Liafiat City.
If you ask, you'll want to get your hands on it. You'll want to pinch your mouth. But that's something you shouldn't do.
Let's just say that the conversation with this guy that doesn't turn out to be fruitful cuts up in the right place and drinks until train time tomorrow morning to think about it. In the first place, there's a lot more to think about. Why Sputnik was called to this city, the meaning, the thoughts of the wizards. Mysterious status quo. That's why.
I don't even have time for Crewe's school and life.
"Oh, by the way, Sputnik. Did you hear about your employee falling from ill health earlier?
- When I realized, I was running out.
Reason knew I shouldn't, but I had no choice because my body had moved on its own.
Knock on the gate of the Crew Lol mansion and apologize for the night visit to the security person who came out, hoping to see Crew Lol. Despite being a sudden visitor, he didn't look surprised by the guard, as if he had predicted there would be visitors. Nor does he go to the Lord to inquire about his intentions, and he is immediately led to the front door of the Mansion.
The front door opened and all I thought was that it was the servant of the mansion who came out - but it was surprisingly, the lord of the mansion, Kruelol, who showed his face.
"... at night, I'm afraid"
What I could get out was a pulled voice. As I folded my hips, I thought that I didn't care that I was right about my decision to pack a full set of clothes in my bag. I forgot my hair, so I couldn't help it.
Lift your head and look at the crew lol again. His place of work is at the Veal Alton headquarters of the Crew Lol Jewellery Chamber, in the chairman's office. I guess being at home at this time meant he was already done with the day's work, but he came out wearing a suit. Even if I went home and was lenient, there was no mess in my outfit, not even one hair. It's as if he believed there was still a sudden job to come.
Though silently gazed, his hips could be pulled away, but he was the lord of every little store. Besides, if you are asked about employee malaise, there is no option to escape.
Sputnik looked back at him from the front, stretching his spine and saying:
"An employee of our store told me that he was ill, and I caught him."
Sputnik thought he could not tell this man why he was in this city where he had been repaired. Kroolol is not a person whose contemplated lies to the extent of Sputnik prevail. Or so you wouldn't believe me where I told you the truth. So I was prepared to yell at him, and I just answered yes.
The silent sanwhite-eyed would have looked at Sputnik how much.
Eventually, I heard a low voice from inside my beard.
"Sure, it's early."
"... what?
Returns a question mark on a word that is immeasurable in meaning. He swallows it hastily, realizing it was a disrespectful attitude - he just didn't seem to think of it as a problem.
Crew lol said another word, overlapped. With a voice like you pushed something to death.
"I need to ask you something"
He took his hand off the door, turned his back, and went back inside the mansion. He hastily touches the door where he is about to lose his support, graciously following him.
of this mansion, in a room somewhere. - I walked down the dim hallway with that in mind, and the way I got there was no matter, it wasn't the room that Sputnik thought of.
Reception room.
"Sit down."
Should I sit - can I sit? I hesitate because of the hindsight to be hiding, but after a chase "can't you hear me," Sputnik decided to follow the instructions. Too soft a couch, but very restless now. If it was Crewe, I might have been happy.
Slowly the door opened and a servant woman came in. The basin in my hand contains tea for two. However,
"Oh, you"
Kruelol opened his mouth to her as the cup tried to be placed in front of Sputnik.
"I'm sorry to have you brewed, but clean it up. I'll take it later."
Calm voice. But that instruction means a lot.
This means that 'visitors' sitting across the street from Kruelol right now are not even worthy of serving a cup of tea as a cultivation. Until then, I feel disgusted - too much. There are too many, I don't know which one.
As bewildered, the servant glanced at Sputnik. Returning the meeting like it was nothing, she seemed to have taken it as permission. "Excuse me," he said, returning the cup to his basin and leaving the room.
The mansion at night, one of its rooms. If they both shut their mouths opposite each other, it would be enough place to sound even loud rubbing clothes. The interior felt slightly dark, lonely, and the air heavy, even though there should be no shortage of vision, because it was sufficiently bright, even if not as bright as daylight.
Quiet back reception room.
Eventually, Kruelol opened his mouth.
"You came here when you heard that that girl was sick, you said. Where'd you hear that?
"of the city of Vealton... on the road"
"Right."
The employee's ill-health case is an apology for asking Lau, or for letting him take extra effort, such as nursing. How would Kruelol have perceived Sputnik speaking carefully about those things while choosing words? I'm nervous and I have so much to hide that I can't keep up the conversation well.
I feel uncomfortable in the tranquility of visiting in between.
The next person to open his mouth was Crew Lol, but what he did, he couldn't stand the silence, it wouldn't be. Sit back on the sofa alone, elbow on both elbow hangings, and speak up and down. Both Sputnik's coming here and what he tells himself here were all planned harmony, and his narrative was calm.
"Your employees are doing great."
"Ha..."
"I was wondering what kind of monster would come because you guys are adorable, but against expectation, she was a very good daughter"
Surprised, I thought. Because I've only seen enough with one hand to be good enough, such as where this tough guy gives someone a good rating - does that mean he never pointed that sharp at the kid, or did it go so well with Crewe?
Or does this man mean he's old and round? In Sputnik's eyes, where he had only taken a sermon from Krulol from his student years to the present, this appearance of him was reflected as somewhat odd, but in any case, that he would do so and speak serenity does not seem to be in a bad mood. Release the tension and listen.
"There is a slight slip, but gently...... it just always seems, frightened of something in the depths. Needless to say, you, the employer and guardian, know all about her. But that cowardice can also have the advantage of being thoughtful if you change your view. That's a very good girl."
"… to our employees, it is a terrible assessment. If I hear that, I'll be glad to hear it."
"It would have been a courageous thing for a daughter like that to come all the way to the single Veer Alton."
Block Sputnik's words. Maybe he's not willing to ask in the first place. The story of Crew Lol follows gently, lightly, and continuously.
"He also seems to enjoy classes at school. To hear the story, they also made friends. He also seemed to like the facility called school, and I heard him and his friends looked around. As you know, although she's ill now, she's not in a guiding condition. I called the doctor earlier just in case, but the cause is merely overwork coming from a change in the environment."
"Oh yeah..."
Nature and strength fell out of my shoulders. Damn, he's the one who makes me worry. Drop your neck forward, sigh deeply - for some reason.
At that moment, I felt my gaze.
Face up. Crew lol's eyes, which should have leaned over, reflected Sputnik at some point. But it was really for a moment, and when he looked at each other, Kruelol also lay down his face.
"... I'm not familiar with something called child health, so at all, I chilled my liver. I'm going to give school a day off tomorrow and see how it goes just in case. She may be reluctant to be absent, but she can't allow herself to be forced to represent her parents during her stay in Vealton, so she'll probably be convinced."
The narrative of the crew lol is calm and indestructible. Also, the content is about the employees Sputnik has cared about over the past few days, and although Sputnik's side had a rushed day yesterday, she seems to be able to lead a genuine school life, regardless of some ill health. If you have a good experience, most importantly - so.
Accidentally, at that moment, I was distracted.
But that was a mistake. You shouldn't have forgotten this mansion at all times.
Welcoming him, why was he speaking like he pushed him to death?
- Why didn't he serve tea to Sputnik when he welcomed him in?
"Well, Sputnik. I need to ask you something."
"What would it be like? If you can answer me."
Because I was relieved, because I was alarmed.
So that's what I said. For a moment (when) I had completely forgotten that there were things that I couldn't answer.
I leaned over, answered Sputnik with a sigh of relief, and on the couch across the street, Kruelol said -
I asked Sputnik.
But that wasn't a question.
"Do kids these days spit out gems?"
