Chapter 2: Section 1: Scene 2
♦Allen~Lucineian Palace’s “Servant Room”~
A few hours ago.
While I was preparing for my trip to Elphegort, a young girl appeared on the doorway.
The young girl silently regarded a greeting.
“Good morning. Uh, you’re Elluka-san’s apprentice…… Gumilia, right?”
“Yes.”
“……”
“……”
“You want something from me?”
“Yes……”
“……”
“……”
She’s impassively silent…… I can’t stand it! Does she have something to say?
“…… First of all……”
After a moment of silence, Gumilia spoke.
“I’m older than you.”
Indeed, I only knew that when she said it. She looks more like me when I was two years old.
"So, use honorifics. For anyone who’s older than you, use honorifics.“
"…… I’m sorry. Really sorry, Gumilia-san.”
I hurriedly gave a serious and authentic apology. How inattentive. She and the other younger servants treat me the same way. She is young, but sooner or later she’ll inherit Elluka’s role as Court Magician.
With Leonhart dead, Mariam is the only active member of “The Three Heroes”; with Elluka leaving. (Having said that, our country already had many years of fighting with other countries.) Gumilia is regarded as one of the “Next Three Heroes”.
“Yes, I’m older than you; Older than you by many, many years……”
Gumilia, a person I don’t know, muttered. Followed by:
“I have a request.”
She suddenly changed the topic.
“You’re going to Elphegort, right?”
“Ah? Er, the Prime Minister ordered me to……”
“I want you to give this to my friend in Elphegort for me.”
She said as she removed something from her sleeve.
“…… This is…… a Spring Onion?”
“Yes, a Spring Onion. A very amazing Spring Onion.”
How the hell did that Spring Onion fit in your sleeves? But I better not ask her this question.
“Is that spring onion down there really that amazing?”
“In short, very amazing. Very, very, amazing.”
“……Riiiiight……”
“……”
“……”
No, ah, she keeps on waiting for me, but I simply cannot dialogue. It seems that only could take the initiative.
“And your friend is……”
“My friend? Oh, she has green hair. Like me, I have green hair too.”
“……”
“She has beautiful green hair, more beautiful than anyone else’s”
At that moment, a noise came from far away.
“Gumilia~~~ Come to me~~~~”
It was Elluka’s voice.
“…… I have to go. In short, please give this.”
Gumilia handed me the Spring Onion and left the servant room.
“Wait a minute! Just by relying with this……”
Hearing my cry, Gumilia said:
“Oh my friend’s named…… Michaela.”
After leaving those words, she left the room.
