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~ - 29. Tea Time

29. Tea Time

We returned to “Emmy’s Inn” without much of a detour. Then, we negotiated with Emmy and signed a contract to rent a private room at the inn for a year.

The rental fee was 300,000 G for a year, surprisingly cheaper than expected. It seems that there are often vacant rooms, and Emmy kindly agreed to lend it to us.

For a while now, we plan to use this place as the landing point for the “Dimensional Transfer Teleport” from Japan. It’s troublesome to move from the wilderness every time, even if there are no onlookers.

After settling in the room, I discussed the future with Isezaki-san. The agenda, of course, was about Levia-sama.

Of course, to start a meeting, tea and sweets are necessary. I took out an electric kettle from the “Storage Storage” and poured instant coffee into a mug.
The electric kettle contained boiling hot water. It seems like time stops inside the “Storage Storage,” so as long as you prepare in advance, you can use hot water anytime.

After making coffee, I arranged some Lu◯do on a plate in the center of the table. No matter how popular White◯lita might be in this otherworld, I’m on Team Lu◯do.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you, sir.”

With tea ready, Isezaki-san took a sip of instant coffee. Then, with a nostalgic expression, she slowly began to speak.

“I first met Levia… Levia when I started living in the church as a saint about a year later. As part of her noble education, Levia started attending the church where I was being taken care of.”

It was the largest church in the territory, given that it was in charge of a saint, and it had deep ties with the lord. Isezaki-san continued speaking.

“Although she seems to have become older than me now due to the change in the flow of time, at that time, she was one year younger than me, and she was so friendly that she treated me like a real sister. Levia does have a real older sister, but it seems they weren’t very close.”

Come to think of it, there was an older sister named Delixir. Ryas mentioned that her sister’s engagement hadn’t been settled yet. Well, the circumstances around that don’t matter…

“Do you think there’s a chance that Levia-sama might figure out Isezaki-san’s true identity?”

That’s the problem. After all, Isezaki-san was once assassinated. If it’s known that she’s alive, she could be targeted again. That’s something that must be avoided at all costs.

But Isezaki-san shook her head vigorously.

“No, I don’t think so. After all, it’s unimaginable for someone who died once to come back to life younger than before. Besides, my appearance has changed quite a bit because of my hair… But if, by any chance, my identity were to be exposed to Levia…”

Isezaki-san’s voice faltered, and the hand holding the mug trembled lightly. She seemed to be feeling obvious fear. This isn’t normal.

“…Could it be that Levia-sama might have instructed to have you killed?”

But to my question, Isezaki-san looked puzzled.

“Huh? No, I don’t think so. She was only ten years old at the time, and she really adored me.”

“Is that so? But you seemed afraid of Levia-sama…”

“Y-Yes. What I was worried about was that… um, Levia got a bit… no, quite attached to me—”

Despite seeming hesitant to say it, Isezaki-san began to speak. What followed was a very heavy expression of affection from Levia-sama.

Levia-sama took a liking to Isezaki-san at first sight.

Originally, she was scheduled to attend worship once a week, but she started visiting the church on days other than worship days.

She was almost always at the church unless she had something else to do, and on days when she had no other lessons, she stayed at the church, clinging to Isezaki-san from morning till night.

There was even a day when she declared that she would renounce her nobility and devote herself to the church, causing quite a stir.

Anyway, it seems that days of being pursued by Levia-sama continued relentlessly, to the extent that she appeared in dreams during meals, baths, and even during sleep, regardless of time and place.

“There was no ill intent, and it was probably a compensatory act to comfort her estranged relationship with her real sister, so I couldn’t bring myself to be angry… By the way, there was also a day when she clung to my back all day and sniffed the scent of my neck. I scolded her fiercely for that, making sure she never did it again…”

Despite sighing as if tired, Isezaki-san had a faint smile on her lips. It didn’t seem like just a bad memory.

Isezaki-san took a deep breath as if to shake off her thoughts.

“Well, nobles are busy people. I don’t think we’ll ever meet again, so it’s probably best to leave the topic of Levia here. More importantly, sir, wouldn’t you like to enjoy tea time?”

“That’s right, let’s take it easy for a little while longer before returning to Japan.”

“Understood. Hehe, tea time with you♪ …Oh? There are no White◯litas, huh?”

With a disappointed expression, Isezaki-san furrowed her brows at the plate full of Lu◯do—–

As if prepared for such a situation,”I wonder if something like this could happen” she said, taking out a White◯lita from her pocket and casually popping it into her mouth.
