Episode 19 Diva

DECEMBER 9, 2016KONNOAREN

I who returned to Braham gave back the horse I borrowed and reported to the adventurers guild.

Of course, I reported with There wasnt anything particular going on though its a lie.

Even with that, the reward doesnt change.

Yeah, Im a bad guy if I do say so myself.

Then after we parted with Crescent Moon I took Pick to the hideout.

Is this the heads house? It doesnt really feel lived in.

I dont live here.

I hardly sleep here. Pick, as I said before youll be responsible for the communication between me youll go back and forth between this place and the other guys, so you go back and forth between this place and the Rabbit groups hideout.

Understood. What should I answer when someone asks me about my relationship with you?

If someone asks tell them youre Akatsukis little sister.

Im the Heads younger sister? Hehe

Whys she so pleased with that?

Even though she tried to stab me to death a while ago.

What a fast change.

So, what should I normally do? Stealing is no good, right?

Stop committing crimes. You might get caught if you do that. Register at the Adventurers Guild, collect rumours about the adventurers and demon beasts while you do quests.

Ehehe, are you worried about me?

If youre not here Id have trouble with the communication. There, its the key to this place. However, you cant stay here youll have to look for another place to stay on your own.

Head, I wouldnt mind sleeping in the same bed though

Thats why I said, I dont have that kind of hobby!

I dont know your actual age but I can get myself over the fact that you look like an elementary school student.

And I dont really want to be in a relationship with someone who tried to kill me a while ago.

I roughly explained this places traffic system to Pick and told her to tell Bass and Drum to give her two gold coins from the money I gave them as living expenses.

I almost spend the 20 gold coins I received from Pikaru, approximately 20 million yen, in one day.

Yeah, as expected of the villain Carlo, indulging in extravagant luxury. (TN: . Im crying)

After Pick left I took off my mask, then with different clothes I left the house.

I didnt forget to lock the door.

I made sure nobody saw me on my way back.

I intended to immediately return to the mansion but then there was a nice fragrance drifting out of a shop I happened to pass.

It seemed to be a restaurant/bar called Fawn pavilion.

Its already dusk and Im hungry, should I go home and eat?

Are there any free seats?

Yes, there are some vacant seats at the counter. As long as you dont want a table I can guide you.

I dont mind. Guide me.

I was guided to the counter in the back of the shop.

The shop is packed with customers. Seems like this place is pretty popular.

At the centre of the shop was a small, stage-like platform where a girl was singing songs.

Felicia-chan, youre the best!

Youre the cutest, Feliciaaaa~!!

Those young men shouting like jaaa~jaaa~ in a loud voice, those are that girls fans, right?

They seem to have fun, but honestly, they are more of a nuisance to me.

Generally speaking, Im a figurine- and 2-dimension-type otaku not an idol otaku type.

When I got the menu and was thinking about what I should order a fat man who wore pretty good clothes came over and started to whisper in my ear.

Im the owner of this Fawn pavilion, Fats. I saw you, Margrave Carlo-sama, from over there.

Aah, is that so? Dont disturb me.

So it was like I thought. Youre not accompanied by attendants either, are you here incognito?

Something like that.

I feel honoured that you have come to our store. Im embarrassed to have Carlo-sama eat at the counter. Please follow me to our private room. This way, please.

I am thankful, but Im fine. Special consideration is unnecessary.

Thats not the case. Please, this way.

I was overwhelmed by the owner called Fats and was guided to the private room in the back.

Although its small the furniture is excellent and isnt this the so-called VIP room?

Thank you again for visiting our shop today. Im the owner Fats.

Im Carlo de Medici. Im sorry for troubling you. I just had an empty stomach.

Im honoured. We are proud of our calf stew, its our shops specialty.

Beef stew is one of my favourites.

My mothers stew with herbs was delicious.

Then I shall try it.

Certainly, just a moment please.

Fats left and as soon as I started to wait for my dish the door knocked.

I think its still too early for it to be done, but what could it be?

You may enter

Excuse me

It was the owner Fats and the girl who was singing on the stage just a while ago.

Behind them was a man holding a guitar-like string instrument.

This girl Is Felicia, this stores diva, and our pride. If you like she could sing one piece for you while you wait.

As Fats said this, the girl called Felicia-chan lowered her head to me.

It might soil your ears, but I would be honoured if you could listen to my songs like Carlo-sama

I didnt get a good look on her a while ago, but shes a pretty girl with white skin chestnut coloured hair and lovely eyes.

To be frank, its rather embarrassing to let her sing for only me, but declining is too rude, so I gave my OK.

Thank you. I shall sing

After Felicia-chan bowed to me elegantly she started to sing to the string instruments sound.

A transparent and carefree singing voice, wearing an adorable and discreet smile, her eyes sometimes tinged with sorrow to suit the lyrics.

I was overwhelmed.

Its a pity that it will end soon.

If that girl would be an idol of my original world I would have turned into an idol otaku, bought all her CDs and would have attended to every handshake event.

Shes too angelic, its dangerous.

Thank you

After Felicia-chan finished singing she again bowed deeply to me.

How was it?

To Fats question, I answered it was the best.

Because I couldnt answer in any other way.

Thank you. Then how about another piece?

I couldnt say no to Fats offer.

Felicia-chan sang another song only for me.

Besides, this time it included dancing, too.

Unlike the slow song of a little while ago, the next song was rhythmical and had a higher tempo. A good song.

I can see now why the older brothers from a while would raise their voices.

Felicias song and dance captured my heart and wouldnt let it go.

Aah, I want a figurine of this child, too.

Hah, hah, thank you

After she finished her second piece my dish was carried in.

Felicia-chan again bowed deeply and left.

It was justified that he said they were proud of their calf stew, it surely was delicious.

But my head was filled with Felicia-chan.

I didnt listen to Fats talking about the dish.

How was it?

After I finished eating Fats asked me that.

Yeah, it was as delicious as you told me. Ill stop by often from now on

To meet Felicia-chan.

(TN: *siiiiigh*)

Thank you

I paid up and caught a glimpse of Felicia-chan singing on the stage across the hall when I left the small room.

Though Felicia-chan was in the middle of a song she greeted me with her eyes for an instant.

So thats what it feels like to get a reply, huh? (TN: from a girl one likes, I guess)

Its strange because this was enough to make me happy.

I was seen off by owner Fats and left the Fawn pavilion to return to the mansion.

I got scolded by Melissa for returning so late and not informing them I would eat outside, but Im fine.

I fell asleep while feeling happy.
