Cordelia couldnt hide that she was shaken when someone whom she hadnt expected to appear showed up.
(Im sure that Ronnie had asked Hans to arrange for our pick-up.)
Its impossible for Hans to make his master, Otou-sama, go to Oulu Village. In other words, he was here by his own choice.
Oh, are you Dilly-chans Otou-san? You two are alike.
In contrast to Cordelia who had frozen from surprise, the chief laughed while feeling surprised. Of course, it didnt look like he knew that Elvis was an Earl.
And that was also conveyed to Elvis.
Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
Elvis smoothly informed the chief.
The expression that he had used was really something a polite father who came to pick up his daughter would say. The chief laughed heartily and replied to Elvis.
Its fine. I thought that Dilly-chan was a polite girl, but Otou-san is also very dignified.
The chief doesnt realise that Otou-sama is a noble after all.
( Im shaking like a mess, even though Otou-sama is on board with this.)
Cordelia thought, as she desperately pretended to act normal. Still, it seemed like the violent sounds of her heart pounding could be heard.
Im surprised you knew that she would be here. Did you ask someone?
No, I was confident that I would know where she was if I asked the chief.
Well, thats true. Ah, Otou-san, would you like a cup of tea?
Well be leaving soon, so you dont have trouble yourself.
Elvis asked Cordelia after he had turned down the chiefs offer.
Wheres Ronnie?
He went to the poorhouse to ask something. Hell be right back.
I see. Well leave as soon as hes back.
Yes.
The conversation stopped.
(Ronnie, hurry back!)
She was the one who used Ronnie as a messenger, but the situation was uncomfortable. It wasnt the worst situation, since Elvis had hidden the fact that he was an Earl, but that didnt change the fact that she wanted to run away.
(But thats not all I didnt mean to bother Otou-sama when hes tired!)
At least, we have to get back to the royal capital as quickly as possible.
She didnt know if her wish had come true or not, but Ronnie came back with the Witch.
Dilly, Witch-sensei said shes going to stay here for the night, but she wanted to see you off Woah!?
Cordelia wanted to retort to Ronnies hysterical voice with, You didnt need to make a strange voice just because you saw Otou-sama, but she also completely understood his surprise. She also thought that Ronnie was doing his best to hold his ground since he hadnt said 『Master』.
Ronnie-san, whats wrong?
The Witch appeared from behind Ronnie. She looked around the room, opened her eyes wide and moved her mouth slightly.
( Huh?)
No sounds came out of the Witchs mouth.
But, if Im not mistaken, then Sensei is saying something I never expected she would say.
