Living monotonous in a Novel Universe

Chapter 60

"You see I'm the famous Master Kaylus! You should be honored meeting me!"

'Did everyone seriously mistake me as Kaylus just because we have blackbirds accompanying us?' Lena looks at the girl with her crows.

"Just because I'm famous doesn't mean you have to impersonate me to get my attention~"

'But everyone says that she has ravens but from what I can see, there's a clear difference between a raven and a crow from their caw sound alone according to Moogle (parody of google). But why the hell are they small compared to the crows I have seen?'

"Hey! Don't ignore me! Are you listening!?" Kaylus said to Lena.

"Oh, sorry, what is it again?" Lena said as she kept looking at the crows who were acting shy towards Lena like a maiden that caught someone looking at her with interest.

"What are you acting shy?" Kaylus said to the crows with a disgusted look.

"Hmph!" The crows said with a peck on Kaylus cheeks.

'Did I just hear the crow 'Hmph!'? The world is surely a strange place, maybe I was just hungry, that's why I'd started to hallucinate hearing things.' Lena trying to reason with herself.

"Anyways, once again I'm Kaylus! The famous and youngest detective from Phantom Intelligence Association!" Kaylus said with a proud lift on her chest that's flat as cardboard.

"Ohh~" Lena replied with interest, treating the girl like a child who shows her new drawing proudly, waiting for praise, her crows following her suit.

Seeing Lena amazed at her, a smug appeared on Kaylus face.

"Not only that! The big man who said that I defeated a strong person, it's also true!"

"Ohh~ That's very amazing indeed" Lena said without any surprise on her face.

"Hmph! You liar. You don't believe me; you don't look surprised at all" Kaylus said with a grumpy face.

"Well, I'm not surprised at all. There's a saying that small people are fiercer than they look."

'In the anime, novels, and manga that I have read, the cuter and innocent looking a person is, the more they are stronger and sometimes crueler. There are even 1,000 years old with a child's body, you know, the usual cliché~'

"Re-really? Ehem! I mean of course! And I'm not small! Being a child makes everyone think I'm not cool enough..." In the last part, Kaylus said it quietly but Lena heard it and it made her remember her past life.

'But seriously, this child has a tsundere attitude'

"..." Kaylus looks like she was going to cry making Lena surprised by it.

"I-I'm not crying" Kaylus said as she wipes her tears that were obviously falling down on her face.
