The White Necromancer

I guided the two women to the living room.

　High-quality sofas are prepared here, and even if you are dealing with a person with noble status, you can find furniture that does not seem improper of their status.

　However, Grandpa used it only when drinking alcohol with the village mayor.

　By the way, Mia seems to be worried about the visitors and is holding her breath in the kitchen. Gilly seemed to be wary of something and was waiting near Mia.

　I glance at the state of the visitors.

　As you can see, the girl in the dress is probably the daughter of an aristocrat. And the other woman who seems to be a knight is probably the escort.

　The girl in a dress sits down and a female knight stands behind her.

　When I sat opposite the girl, the female knight’s eyebrows moved, but there was no further movement.

　I think I’ll deal with it, but I think I decided to wait and see for the time being.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t entertain more properly, we don’t get many visitors.”

“No, it doesn’t matter…. So where is Gale?”

　The girl like a doll smiles and asks me a question. I bow down and answer.

“Sorry, my grandfather passed away four years ago …”

“That is..”

　The girl’s face distorted into lines. Looking at it, the female knight in the back was also frowning, bitter grimace and all.

“Then, isn’t there anyone who succeeded Gale?”

“Do you mean a disciple or a successor? If so, I’ve never heard of one…”

“Is that so……”

　I don’t know how serious it is, but the girl seemed disappointed to hear my words. I think he had something important to do.

　By the way, I don’t mean to say that there aren’t successors.

　 I don’t know what kind of troubles I will be involved in by giving my name honestly.

　However, aside from the girl, the female knight behind me asked me with an eye for exploration.

“Are you Gale’s grandson? If not, aren’t you his successor?”

“I was picked up by my grandfather. Are you two looking for a potion?”

　I ask the female knight. And, as a bluff, only the information as a pharmacist is disclosed.

　Thinking normally, if you just want a potion, you don’t have to come to a village like this. There are many pharmacists and potions in the city.

　Perhaps what they both want is something that only Grandpa has …

　Ability as a sage or alchemist. Or some item. In any case, we should get information from them first.

“No, potions are something we do not lack. What we are looking for is armed force…”

“Chris……!”

　The girl rebukes the female knight quietly. When the female knight Chris bows to the girl, she closes her mouth.

　The girl regained her mind and smiled like a doll again. Apparently, I don’t want to leak too much information.

“I’m sorry for being unscrupulous, but are there any weapons that Gale was equipped with?”

“I burned wands and robes together at the funeral. I inherited only the tools as a pharmacist …”

　Then Chris frowns. And, despite being scolded by his husband earlier, he opens his mouth again.

“Is it sane to burn the wise man’s equipment? How much money would it cost to sell …”

“My grandfather was a hero of the village. It’s ridiculous to sell it … And no one can use it in the village. Let’s talk with all the villagers and bring it to the afterlife. I came to the conclusion that I would like to receive it. “

“In the afterlife …”

　Chris was suspiciously staring at me. Well, this is going to be anything, so it doesn’t matter what you think.

　The problem is the doll girl. She observes me like a vulture.

　I wasn’t sure what I was thinking, so this one was creepier …

“Shut up Chris for a moment. I’m talking to him.”

“Huh. Excuse me.”

　Chris bows again. And she closes her mouth tightly so that she wouldn’t be scolded again.

“I’m sorry. My servant interrupted the story.. And with the lack of Gale’s equipment likely to be available..”

　The girl meaningfully throws her gaze.

“By the way, can I ask you for your name?”

“I’m Alex, but..”

　She sits without moving/

　This development may be …

“I’m sorry I can’t give my name right now, but as you can see, I’m in a good position. If you like, why don’t you work for me?”

“… Is it as a pharmacist?”

“Fufu, in the place that seems most appropriate.”

　The girl was lacking in the emotions department, but for the first time she showed something that seemed to be emotional.

　It’s not a fake, but a mischievous smile suitable for a joker.

“Sorry. In any case, I was planning to go on a trip three months in the future. I wouldn’t work for anyone for the time being.”

“Yes.. I’m sorry, but it can’t be helped..”

　The girl was just discouraged. I don’t know how serious it is because the expression has returned to the doll one.

“Then we’re sorry for this. See you again if the gods will it.”

　The girl’s hand is held out.

　Normally, noble people do not shake hands with commoners. In fact, Chris was also keen on the girl’s actions.

“What’s wrong?”

“Mm..”

　The girl smiles like a doll and mysteriously tilts her head. Apparently she doesn’t want to withdraw.

　On the contrary, it would be rude as it is, so I made up my mind and held her hand.

“Then, let’s be in on good terms, mmm?”

　The girl said goodbye with a doll-like smile.
