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~ - 65. "That's just... terrible..."
65. “That’s just… terrible…”
Amidst the deafening silence that enveloped us, Lady Levia, with a puzzled expression, opens her mouth again.
“Um, could you two help—”
“Absolutely not.”
In perfect harmony, both I and Isezaki-san promptly interject.
“Huh? Absolutely not? You’re joking, right!?”
“Well, sorry.”
“It’s true.”
This time, both of us respond together, and Lady Levia claps her hands with a smirk.
“Haha… Sister, are you teasing me? I can understand wanting to play around with me after such a long time apart, but let’s save those jokes for later, shall we? Right?”
“You wouldn’t joke about something like this, would you?”
Isezaki-san replies with a sigh, and Lady Levia stares at her in dismay before finally clinging to Isezaki-san.
“Oh, come on… My cute little sister is asking you for a favor. Can’t you be a bit nicer? Right, big sister?”
It seems like this could go on endlessly until we say “yes.” As I’m thinking about that…
“Levi… you’re an adult now, so stop acting so spoiled. Don’t you think it’s troubling for Mr. Matsunaga?”
Firmly stating so, Isezaki-san turns to me. Right, I need to make it clear here.
“Lady Levia, your noble family troubles are a burden on us. And since we’re from another world, we’d rather not get too involved.”
I said it honestly and even came out. Of course, Lady Levia tilts her head in confusion.
“Another world? You mean there’s a world where nobles and commoners live separately? Of course, I understand that—”
Then Isezaki-san gently puts her hand on Lady Levia’s shoulder and speaks slowly, as if chewing on her words.
“Levi… We’re not from this world.”
“Huh? …Could it be… that thing my sister occasionally mentioned in the past?”
It seems Lady Levia has been told about it too. Apparently, no one believed her at the time.
“Yes, that’s right. And I was able to return to my original world after being killed in this one. And that’s where I met my husband♪”
Smiling proudly, Isezaki-san clings to my arm. While gently removing her arm from mine, I speak to Lady Levia.
“I’ll tell you this now, but we’re actually not really a married couple. She told me it would be more convenient for various reasons.”
“Well… You didn’t have to say that.”
Muttering with a puffed-up mouth, Isezaki-san. But it’s already known about Isezaki-san. It seems better to come clean to Lady Levia and get her full understanding.
And it feels really refreshing to finally reveal everything after hiding it for so long. Now I might understand how criminals in detective dramas feel when they confess their crimes.
“You two are from another world? And Mr. Matsunaga isn’t your husband? Ugh… I’m completely lost…”
Lady Levia groans, holding her head in confusion. Well, that can’t be helped.
“Alright. If that’s the case, let me explain in detail.”
With that said, I invited Lady Levia to the carriage, feeling somewhat excited, not as if I were leading her to the edge of a cliff, but to the carriage.
