Small Talk: Healran Dewitt’s Happy Days

AT first, I’d believed her to be nothing more than a typical, spoiled aristocrat’s brat. Before long, I realized she was mature, far beyond her years, and downright fearless.

No, that’s not right. She’s just a bit unique and hasn’t experienced much in her short life to instill a sense of fear in her.

She had a frost spider deviation as her close companion, and at some point, she got some pet slimes as well. And to top it all off, she ended up involved with goblins and kobolds.

Yes, she certainly is a surprising child.

Meeting the youngest daughter of Duke Osphe, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Gaché, might just have been a stroke of luck for me. There were times that Lady Neema would work forcefully to get what she wanted, which was not unusual for an aristocrat. However, it was likely because of who she was that those endeavors usually went off in an unexpected direction.

I would never get sick of watching her.

That one sentence pretty much said it all.

I had to vow upon my name more times than I could count during my short acquaintance with Lady Neema. That just showed what kind of trouble I was unwittingly dragged into. On the other hand, though, more often than not, I felt amused, if not thoroughly fulfilled, with the life I now led.

It turned out all sorts of suspicious, underhanded dealings were going on in Lenice, as my investigation soon uncovered. Since I had plenty of experience in my past role conducting undercover investigations for the espionage department, I never let my guard down. But I also wasn’t worried about failing in my mission.

Of course, Lady Neema didn’t know about my past, so she was concerned for me. I never dreamed she’d go as far as to assign elemental spirits to watch over me.

Elemental spirits were holy beings that only those beloved by the God of Creation could see. To me, elemental spirits had always seemed like nothing more than a myth.

I separated from Lady Neema and the others to work on the solo mission I’d been assigned. I was wandering through the streets of Lenice, doing my best to act lost and downtrodden. One reason was to familiarize myself with the city’s layout, but the other was to observe people’s movements. What were the locals doing? How were the adventurers who’d gathered here passing their time?

One thing was for sure: Lenice was different from the town of Cass, where I’d previously lived. Shops of all kinds cluttered the main streets, and normally, this area would be bustling with shoppers. But currently, only the largest stores were open, and glancing inside revealed hardly anyone was out shopping.

When I caught sight of some of the price tags listing prices three times higher than normal, I could easily understand why. I checked several open stores, but each carried the exact same items at the exact same prices.

The only other establishment open was the tavern. Droves of adventurers gathered there starting around noon, pounding down drink after drink.
