True to his word, we soon arrived at the house where Mirach’s family lived. Since Mirach’s father was the village chief, it was situated further into the village and was far more impressive than the other houses we had seen.

As we relaxed in the drawing room, Mirach’s sisters started to cling to him once more as they peppered him with questions and complaints. These ranged from cute things like asking when he’d be back again, to realistic grievances about a lack of souvenirs. Although he occasionally became flustered, Mirach patiently answered everything they brought up.

Just when it seemed the twins had exhausted their questions, they suddenly came up with one more.

“Hey, Mirach. Is Lukbar not coming back today?”

“Lukbar?” I repeated, puzzled. That was a name I’d never heard before, but what I did notice was Canopus’s visible grimace.

“Is Lukbar also from this village?” Canopus asked. There was an urgency to his voice, so I guess he really wanted to know the answer.

Mirach’s expression was uncomfortable, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, although we’re not that close.”

“…I see.”

Canopus froze, completely still, as if his brain was the only thing functioning as he processed the information. Seeing him get like that made me even more confused.

Who the heck is this Lukbar?

But without me needing to voice my thoughts, Sirius ruffled my hair gently before giving me an answer.

“Lukbar is a member of the First Knight Brigade. He’s also one of the men involved in the incident with Scheat, Miaplacidus, and Fackt. Even before Scheat and Miaplacidus moved to the royal guard, there was apparently bad blood between them.”

I’d had no idea something like that was going on. Unable to contain my surprise, I shifted my gaze back to Mirach.

“Does Lukbar dislike Scheat and Miaplacidus?”

“It seems that way. As for the reason, it’s because they both have a darker hair color than him.”

“What?! He doesn’t like them just over the color of their hair?”

“Lukbar himself has light-colored hair. He’s very envious of anyone who sports a deeper hue. He just absolutely seethes with jealousy. The reason he’s never made much trouble for me or Fackt is because our hair is pale.”

“Oh…”

I hadn’t given it much thought before, but Scheat’s hair was a vibrant red and yellow, while Miaplacidus’s was a rich navy blue. On the other hand, Mirach had light pink hair and Fackt’s was a pale lavender. It sounded like Lukbar’s opinion of people was swayed by their hair color, though there was no reason for him to be envious of something like a darker shade.

Seeing how confused all this was making me, Mirach provided a further explanation.

“As I mentioned before, the Galle Gold Leaf that was stolen had preventative benefits and helped to ward off various diseases. Taking it also made your hair color darker, which led everyone in the village to believe that darker hair meant you were healthier.”

Hearing that brought a big smile to my face. “I must be reeeeally healthy then!” My hair was a deep red, after all.
