The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 104. Communication Skills

104. Communication Skills

Holding hands with Isezaki-san and Levia-sama, I activated the ‘dimensional teleport’ and arrived at the entrance of Isezaki’s mansion.

In front of us stood the startled landlady.

It seemed she was tending to the flowers displayed at the entrance when we suddenly appeared, and narrowly avoided dropping the vase as she hastily placed it back on the shelf, raising his eyebrows.

“Whoops! Don’t startle an old lady like that out of the blue! If I had dropped it, what would you have done…? Oh, wait, there’s someone I don’t recognize. Who might you be?”

More interested in the new guest than being startled, the landlady, rather than giving me a hard time about it, let’s just move on to introductions.

“This here is the noble lady from another world, Countess Levia. Since she seemed interested in this world, we thought we’d show her around.”

Since I’ve been regularly updating the landlady about the happenings in the other world, I assume she knows Levia-sama’s name. With a soft smile, the landlady looked up at Levia-sama.

“Oh, really? Welcome then! I’m Haruna Isezaki, the grandmother of Seina. I’ve heard a lot about you from Matsunaga-kun and Seina.”

Now it’s Levia-sama’s turn to greet them — or so I thought, but Levia-sama turned to me and Isezaki-san with a puzzled expression.

“Um… What did that lady just say?”

“Huh?”

Perhaps she didn’t understand the language? Isezaki-san frowned slightly.

“Levi, that’s my grandmother, Haruna Oba-sama. Can you introduce yourself?”

“Oh my, is that so?! I didn’t realize, how terribly rude of me…! I am Levia Carius, the second daughter of the Carius Earl. Pleased to make your acquaintance—”

The noble greeting, full of elegance. Watching this, the landlady whistled.

“Wow, is that a noble’s greeting from another world? Pretty impressive. Though I have no idea what she’s saying!”

Shrugging, the landlady seems to be unable to understand Levia-sama’s words either.

…But then again, thinking about it again, isn’t it stranger that I can understand the language of the other world?

Isezaki-san, too, has been able to understand the language since she was transported to the other world as a child, so I’ve tried not to worry about it.

“…I don’t know the reason. But it seems like only you and I have the ability to supply magic, and Levia-sama can’t receive magic from either of us. The language… It does seem like we’re in some kind of special situation. I don’t know why, but…”

“I guess even if words don’t get through, feelings can. Hey, Princess! Welcome to my home!”

The landlady spreads her arms grandly in a welcoming gesture. Seeing this, Levia-sama also smiles.

“She’s such a bright and cheerful old lady! I appreciate the warm welcome!”

“Hahaha! Since you’ve come all this way, make yourself at home and relax as if it were your own!”

“Yes, thank you very much!”

“Wow, that’s a good response! I like it. Well then, no more standing around, let’s go inside and have some tea. Come on!”

“Oh my, thank you for the invitation. However, my sister and I have plans afterward…”

“Oh no, you have something to do? Well, that can’t be helped. Let’s do it another time. Seina, make sure you properly escort the Princess.”

“Yes, understood. Oba-sama…”

Isezaki-san smiled wryly. I probably had the same expression on my face.

Certainly, even if words don’t get through, there are ways to understand each other, but it’s still surprising how well we can communicate.

“Well then, Levia, let me show you to the closet room. Sir, I’ll be going now.”

“Y-yeah… Have a good time…”

Nodding, I somehow managed to grasp the situation. With that, Isezaki-san took Levia-sama and walked down the hallway.

—

Some time passed, and as the landlady and I were drinking tea in the guest room, we heard Isezaki-san’s voice say “Excuse me,” followed by the shoji quietly sliding open.

There stood the usual adorable Isezaki-san and, not a familiar foreign blonde beauty, but Levia-sama.

Levia-sama was wearing a completely different outfit from her usual dress, a fluffy dress instead. Compared to her usual ornate attire, she looked a bit younger.

Looking embarrassed, Levia-sama glanced at her outfit and asked me,

“What do you think, Matsunaga-sama? With this attire, would I blend in with the common folk?”

“Yes, I think so. With this, you won’t stand out even if you walk outside.”

“Hehe, I have a feeling she might stand out in a different way, but oh well, that can’t be helped. So, Matsunaga-kun, where do you intend to guide the Princess?”

The landlady’s wording seemed a bit off. Putting that aside for now, I intended to respond to Levia-sama’s request for guidance.

“Where would you like to go, Levia-sama?”

“I discussed it with my sister as well, but the sun has already set. As long as it’s a place where we can still enjoy ourselves at this hour, anywhere is fine.”

In that case, just wandering around this suburban residential area wouldn’t be satisfying. It seemed we needed to venture into town after all.

“Understood. Shall we go now then?”

Finishing the remaining tea, we moved to the entrance. The landlady raised her thumb towards Levia-sama.

“Hey, Princess, have a good time!”

“Yes, Haruna Oba-sama. I’ll be going then!”

Watching the now friendly landlady and Levia-sama, I chanted the ‘dimensional teleport’.
