After being forced to buy a large quantity of clothes, I nodded to the clerk with a blank expression.

 

“It will take about two days until it’s ready.”

 

I handed the receipt to Silvana without saying a word.

 

“Well. I’m sorry you had to buy all this stuff.”

 

Don’t worry, it will only reduce Teacher’s salary.

 

The lascivious Silvana looks pleased with herself as she changes into her normal clothes without any enchantments. 

It was a very ordinary camisole and denim skirt.

I was relieved to see that she didn’t have a miserable sense of style.

 

“I didn’t ask, but …… how many outfits did you buy?””

 

Lascivious Silvana smiled and winked at me.

 

“Seven for everyday wear, and five for work, I think. Well, I’ve never had a man buy me clothes before. So …… I got carried away with my excitement.”

 

I can’t help but think about the repercussions of this withdrawal.

In my case, it’s not a deposit withdrawal, it’s a bill payment from the grand aristocracy, so the bill will be sent home.

I’ll think of an excuse.

 

I’ll have it deducted from Teacher’s salary.

But that’s a story for when I get back.

No matter how I look at it, I’m still in for a bumpy ride.

In particular, explaining this to Kiara will be very difficult.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

On the way home, Silvana looked as if she had just realized something.

 

“Is it alright that Al didn’t have to buy any clothes?”

 

It’s already been abbreviated.

This lack of distance …… she’s definitely a mourning woman.

Even if you had big tits.

" "

 

“I’ve got enough to go around.”

 

The mourning woman, Silvana, nodded her head and smiled in a flirtatious way.

 

“You’re a big shot, aren’t you, Al? That’s right! If the Apostle hadn’t chosen you, that is. I owe you for the clothes too, so I can be your mistress.”

 

No, you don’t really think you owe me anything, do you? 

The fact that she was so bad at appealing to the public also supported her theory that she was in mourning.

 

“Okay, fine.”

 

I replied with a fierce lack of enthusiasm.

It would be troublesome if I just say no and pick a quarrel.

She’s too much trouble …… this mourning woman Silvana.

 

 

“By the way, Al and I share the same pilgrimage route, right?”

 

“That’s right ……”

 

“Then we can go together, right?’

 

She’s so troublesome.

There’s nothing good about this.

I thought about refusing, but there was one thing that bothered me.

 

Unlike the teacher, she is a magician and adventurer in her own right.

She might have information that ordinary people don’t have.

And even if she didn’t, she could still have connections to adventurers.

 

It is important to look at the world from a different perspective …… even if it is like this.

I don’t know anything about the world.

And this brazenness can be a big plus.

 

 

If they’re a normal person, there’s a chance that they’re going to think about my position and only say what I want them to think ……

This person will probably speak her mind.

The true feelings of people with different statuses are valuable.

 

It’s true that she’s annoying, but …… I can’t start denying everything.


 

 

If all else fails, I’ll think about it again.

 

 

“Okay, fine, as long as you don’t get drunk and pick a quarrel ……”

 

“I-It’ll be fine.”

 

Are you serious?

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

When I returned to the inn, I found the teacher emptying the fifth bottle in the dining room, as expected.

 

“Ohhh, you’re back. Well, well, I guess any person would look good if well-dressed. It looks pretty good.”

 

Mourning Silvana replied in a cheerful manner.

 

“Hey, that’s rude.”

 

She was in a good mood, so there was no need to argue …… But …… Hm?  I realized something.

“I guess any person would look good if well-dressed” is a Japanese proverb! Why are they so familiar with it?

(T/N: The Japanese proverb he said is “Mago ni mo ishou”.)

 

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

I just realized that I was being careless.

I was so focused on other things that I overlooked them……

We’re talking in Japanese, aren’t we?

 

What a mess.

 

I feel like a Greek scholar who got stuck in a sewer after observing the stars.

 

“You know what, sir?”

 

“What’s the matter, kiddo? Are you showing off your taste in clothes?”

 

“No, I mean. When did the language we’re talking about …… become this language?”


 

 

The teacher looked dumbfounded.

 

“That’s quite an unexpected question ……”

(T/N: The Teacher said “Yabu kara bou ni” in this part is also a Japanese proverb.)

 

So he’s even familiar with that.

The mourning woman Silvana tilted her head, unsure of the intent of my question.

 

“I’m pretty sure our language is Apostolic, isn’t it?”

 

The teacher looked as if he was searching his memory.

 

“Yes, I believe it was in the …… 3rd generation. I’m sure they’ve organized the language used by the apostles in the church into a common language.”

 

“Why did they make it the common language?”

 

“Hmm? Well, originally each country spoke a different language. Sometimes the apostles would come up with a word that didn’t fit, and that caused some inconvenience.”

 

As I recall, even before reincarnation, there were some languages that didn’t have a word that corresponded to the concept.

 

In those days, Japanese was a flexible language that could take in anything.

But I thought that the reason was too weak to make it the common language.

 

“Just that?”

 

Silvana, the mourning woman, raised her hand cheerfully.

 

“Yes, yes, I know what you’re talking about. Even if you want to appeal to the apostles, but you can’t communicate with them, so it’s not fair to make a difference, right?”

 

Huh? Seriously?

The teacher shrugged his shoulders.

 

“Oh, you know a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. That’s right, there was a lot of pressure from the women.”

 

The teacher continued with a sense of relief.

 

“The Church discovered that the language used by the apostles was the same, so they made it the common language of the apostles. We didn’t have to change the name since we could have incorporated it into the apostolic language. It still retains the characteristics of the original language. The ease of use is one of the reasons why it was made a common language. The only problem is that it seems to have been a difficult language to learn.”

 

It’s easy to control the world when you have the language in your hands, and that’s probably the secular reason.

The teacher became even more serious.

 

“There were other advantages, too. Elves, Dwarves, and Beastmen originally used different languages.”

 

That’s true.

The drunken but serious professor continued his lecture.

 

“We used to have to learn the language of each country to interact with humans, but now we only need one. That’s how we got to know each other.”

 

I decided to ask the question that naturally arose.

 

“But language can’t be changed immediately, can it? How long did it take for it to spread?”

 

“I think it was recognized as an official language in the 10th year of the 3rd Apostle’s ministry, and became popular just before the 5th Apostle’s ministry.”

 

If it takes 150 years for one apostle, that’s roughly 300 years.

That’s about right.

 

“For a pervert, you sure know your stuff. “

 

“Shut up, I still have a doctorate in Apostolic Studies. Just because you’re not a lascivious anymore doesn’t mean you can be a cocky, you mourning woman.”

 

“Huh, what are you talking about, veteran virgin?”

 

Before I knew it, Mourning Silvana had a bottle of wine in her hand.

 

Oh no, let’s get out of here.

If I don’t, the Tale of the Heike will appear in my dreams.

 

We will now begin our mission to retreat to Kisuka Island!

 

Major General Kimura, Lieutenant General Higuchi, protect me ……

 

When the time was right, I pretended to go get some food, but I escaped to my room.

I firmly secured the food and locked the door.

I was relieved that I was able to retreat safely, but a great deal of anxiety came over me.

 

Would this happen every day?

I shivered in fear alone, regretting violently that I had agreed to let her go with us.
