At the ti Judom who couldnt fight satisfactorily while carrying Farahs body, was trying to break free from being cornered by the dead, a woman ca and helped them. She was that woman right now on their doorsteps.
This beautiful woman possessed a dark blue hair tied in a ponytail, a figure one would make a woman jealous to have, and a beauty that could captivate any other man in the world.
After she saved Judom, he asked to return the gratitude to her, but the woman only said that she would et them once again once Farah had woken up, and left without saying another word.
But even if Farah would wake up one day, how would she know where and what place were they residing? Because even Judom didnt know where to go since that day.
But here she ca, uninvited. Moreover, she ca shortly after Farah woke up.
First of all, I would like to greet you a well-deserved good morning, Princess Farah.
She approached Farah and lightly bowed in front of her.
That way of speaking, you knew this girl was a royal princess?
I do. I also live in Victorias after all.
In this country? . I find it hard to believe.
It wouldnt be strange for a beauty like herself to be rumored amongst the people. For Judom who had lived in this country for a decade, such rumor should have reached his ears.
You dont have to cautious about . I saved you both because.I just felt like doing so.
He could only express a bitter with regards to her statent and inquired her further.
We are really grateful for saving us back then. But who in the world are you?
I dont mind answering that question, but I must ask you not to get surprised by it, is that alright?
At the ntion of her words, Judom glanced at the elder besides Farah, and they both nodded.
you have my word
The woman grabbed a book from the bag tied on her waist, and handed it to Judom.
Isnt this.the Adventure of Tyn Cal Weikl?
Ah, I also know that book. My mother used to read this story when I go to bed
Sa here. I once read it when I was a child. It was a sad story, but I could sohow relate myself in the story.
I agree. The author of the book wrote a very heartfelt story
Indeed.
(TL Note: Ive usedXCrossJstranslation of in chapter 58)
While Judom and Farah were reminiscing their impressions about the book,
Oh my~, if you praise it to such an extent, even I couldnt help but get embarrassed about it.
Eh? What are you talking about? Were praising the author of this book you know?
I know, thats why I feel embarrassed about it. Because that book is my work after all.
eh?
H-haaaaah!? W-what did you just say!?
Judom was too surprised that he asked her in a loud voice while Fara and the elder had hardened in their place as if they saw sothing out of their dreams.
However, the woman didnt stop smiling.
Like I said. Im the author of that book.
No way! Youre too young to be the author! I read that when I was a kid! A KID! Were talking about 30 years or more! A-and besides, old man, when have you first read this book?
When Judom asked the elder, the person returned it with a nod.
Let see. It was probably more than 50 years ago.
See! 50 years! No matter how I see it, you are at least.in your twenties
Then, Judom began to stare at the woman quietly.
dont tell , you arent a human?
At the ntion of those words, Farah made an expression as if she wanted to ask the sa question. The life span of a Gabranth and Evila were certainly longer compared to that of a human being.
But your physical outlook is exactly like a human..are you a Half then?
He couldnt find an ear or a tail of a Gabranth nor could he find a horn or traces of wings on her like that of an Evila
Thats why, he judged that the woman was a Half-human. If so, even if she was apparently a Humas appearance-wise, if the blood of another race flows into her veins, then that explains her long life.
However, the woman shook her head.
No, Im a genuine Humas
Hah?
But
Hm?
Lets just say Im a human being with a slightly different disposition
The smile she expressed was not the usual but was a fragile one mixed with sorrow and loneliness.
I see, then I wont bother trying anymore. So what you an to say is that you have a longer lifespan compared to us normal human beings? Alright.
Judom felt like he was about to step into sothing he shouldnt know, so he decided not to pursue about the topic of her race.
you really are a kind man.
The woman felt Judoms anxiety and expressed a gentle smile towards him.
But how do I say it. Even though you are my senior, your appearance doesnt seem to be. Please pardon for the honorifics.
Ufufu, sure. You have my permission.
The woman bead a delighted smile like a usual girl you could see anywhere. It seems this woman carried sothing heavy deep inside, but Judom thought not to inquire further than this.
Let properly introduce myself once again. My na is Marquis. Marquis Bluenote.
To think I would et the well-known Faceless Author Marquis-dono this long life of mine sure was worth it.
Although the elder was praising the woman,
P-please stop with that. Im not a God. B-beside Im not very fond of that nickna.
We cant help it you know? No one exactly knows who or what Marquis looks like. Ive heard that those books donated at the bookstores and libraries were reprinted again and distributed to the market. (Judom)
T-thats because I do not write for money. Im glad though that many people are reading my book
But thats also the reason why we only know the na of the author. Thus, Faceless Author(Judom)
Uuu
As if to show her discontent towards that na, she dropped her shoulders in disappointnt.
Anyway, enough about. Still rember what you said to us back then?
back then?
The ti when you saved us.
ah.
First, I understand that you just saved us on a whim. I wont bother about it for now. What I do want to know is how did you find this place and where have you known that Farah had woken up?
While Judom screwed up one of his eyes as he asked this on Marquis, the latter only responded with a smile.
And if I tell you I was just passing by around here?
Thats possible, I told my subordinates to let you in once you ca.
That seems to be. I wouldnt have gotten here easily if it wasnt
Judom had inford his subordinates guarding the shed about her appearance, and instructed them to let her pass once she arrived.
Thats why you guys, go back to work.
When Judom said so, they could hear panicked footsteps leaving sowhere behind the door Marquis entered awhile ago.
Those guysgood grief
Ufufu, thats natural. Because they were cautious about and followed until here.
Even though he could do sothing about it by himself if trouble ca up, but Judom didnt say it.
Well, they were probably curious as to why is a beautiful woman like yourself wants to get close to ?
Ara? Thats quite an honor. For the companions of the Impact King to think of in such a way.
Marquis made a glad-looking expression in face of his words.
Anyway, enough about them, lets go back to what I
You are wondering how I knew of this place, am I right? And also, how I knew that Princess Farah had woken up thats because I foresaw where you would likely go. Does this suffice as an answer?
.Huh? What do you an by that?
Judom inclined his neck as if to show his lack of understanding regarding her spoken words.
Its as she says Judom.
The elder opened his mouth while quietly watching Marquis.
What do you an, old man?
Havent Maquis-dono said it awhile ago? She foresaw it.
W-wait a minutedont tell ..
Its as you think. This woman is a clairvoyant.
