Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

At the time Judom who couldnt fight satisfactorily while carrying Farahs body, was trying to break free from being cornered by the dead, a woman came 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 meet 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 came, uninvited. Moreover, she came 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 me. I saved you both because.I just felt like doing so.

He could only express a bitter with regards to her statement 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 mention 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 me this story when I go to bed

Same here. I once read it when I was a child. It was a sad story, but I could somehow relate myself in the story.

I agree. The author of the book wrote a very heartfelt story

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

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 something 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 me 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 me, you arent a human?

At the mention of those words, Farah made an expression as if she wanted to ask the same 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 mean 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 something 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 me for the honorifics.

Ufufu, sure. You have my permission.

The woman beamed a delighted smile like a usual girl you could see anywhere. It seems this woman carried something heavy deep inside, but Judom thought not to inquire further than this.

Let me properly introduce myself once again. My name is Marquis. Marquis Bluenote.

To think I would meet 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 nickname.

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 name of the author. Thus, Faceless Author(Judom)

Uuu

As if to show her discontent towards that name, she dropped her shoulders in disappointment.

Anyway, enough about. Still remember what you said to us back then?

back then?

The time 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 came.

That seems to be. I wouldnt have gotten here easily if it wasnt

Judom had informed 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 somewhere behind the door Marquis entered awhile ago.

Those guysgood grief

Ufufu, thats natural. Because they were cautious about me and followed me until here.

Even though he could do something about it by himself if trouble came 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 me?

Ara? Thats quite an honor. For the companions of the Impact King to think of me 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 mean 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 mean, old man?

Havent Maquis-dono said it awhile ago? She foresaw it.

W-wait a minutedont tell me..

Its as you think. This woman is a clairvoyant.
