Volume 2 Chapter 46: Lula’s True Identity
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Having finished his business in Drintor, Cain transferred back to his mansion in the royal capital.
He sat down in a chair in the empty office and stretched.
After relaxing a bit, Cain left the office, told Koran he was back, and asked Silvia about the White Fox Sisters’ conditions.
“I think Lula, the older sister, had calmed down enough already to start working as a maid. She also knows quite a lot about the job, it seems. The younger sister, Laura, still needs to learn though. I’ll try and raise her appropriately to her age. Thanks to them being educated while they were at the slave trader’s, they’re pretty decent in comparison to how long they’ve been slaves.”
Cain listened to Silvia’s report over a cup of black tea.
“Since we’re speaking of Lula, could you call her over?”
Silvia nodded and left the office to go call Lula.
Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door, and, after Cain gave his permission, Lula entered the office.
She seemed to be already diligently studying her job, and was dressed in a maid outfit. She seemed to have gotten used to walking, and had no problems with it any more.
Since she’d now eaten and taken a bath, her complexion had greatly improved and she had grown quite beautiful.
“Master, you called me…”
Looking anxious, she stood near the entrance to the office.
“Yeah, I couldn’t say it earlier as we had only just gotten home, but I’d like to continue that conversation from yesterday. Anyway, sit down.”
Cain urged Lula to sit down on the sofa in front of him.
Hearing the word ‘yesterday’, Lula sat down opposite Cain, a little scared.
“I’m pretty sure I already said it in the carriage, but I appraised you two. And there was something I wanted to ask about that.”
Saying so, Cain stood up and took out a notebook from his desk drawer. He then put it down in front of Lula and prompted her to read its contents.
Fearfully, Lula opened the notebook. The instant she saw its contents, her eyes widened.
Then, glancing up at Cain, tears started streaming from her eyes.
“Yep, I thought so. You were hiding it, but one of your titles is [Reincarnator], so I thought, ‘what if…’. So I bought the two of you. That and because you possess the blessings of a divine beast.”
What he had shown Lula were the things he wanted to do regarding internal affairs in Drintor when he had the time. Naturally, he was taking advantage of knowledge from his previous life to get things in internal affairs done, and thus it was written in Japanese, so no-one else would be able to read it. Showing a response to Japanese text, Lula had confirmed that in her previous life, she had lived in Japan.
“Perhaps Master too…”
Cain nodded silently at Lula’s question.
Seeing Cain nod, tears continued to pile up in her eyes.
Then, standing up from the sofa, Lula held onto Cain and started crying.
Cain started speaking while stroking Lula’s head.
“For someone with memories of being a Japanese person, being a slave must’ve been tough. It’s alright now. I’ll look after you and Laura.”
Still crying and clinging to Cain, Lula nodded countless times.
For a few minutes, they continued like this; Lula crying and Cain stroking her head.
“I’m sorry master. For having made you lend me a shoulder to cry on…”
After she had finally calmed down, her face turned bright red, embarrassed from crying on Cain, and she sat back down on the sofa.
“I don’t mind. Could you tell me about your previous life? I’m currently in charge of a town called Drintor, but as there’s a lack of personnel, so I’d like you to help out with any knowledge you have from your previous life, if that’s okay.”
At Cain’s words, Lula’s face stiffened and she stared straight at him.
“In my previous life, I majored in architecture in university, and also studied infrastructure and building design. Then, when I was twenty, I got run over by a car that had ignored some traffic lights and died. That’s all I can remember. Then, I regained my memories of my previous life five years after reincarnating here, at the baptism. According to the Foxman Tribe, White Foxes are a throwback to ‘inferior ancestors’, so we were persecuted quite heavily, and as our parents died early, it was always just Laura, who had been born as a similar White Fox as me, and I living together. So, as I know a little about architecture, I’m sure I can help out.”
Cain was surprised that she had been older than him in her previous life. Cain also told Lula about his previous life. So that Koran and Silvia wouldn’t find out about it, he made sure to ask her to keep it a secret.
“I’d like to build an academy and an orphanage and lots of other buildings in Drintor, you know. My older brother’s the deputy governor, but he’s also the internal affairs officer, so could you maybe help him out with the architecture there? Of course, Laura can come along as well. And then, please stop calling me master. I’m Cain. It would be way too weird considering we were both Japanese in our previous lives.”
Cain said, but Lula shook her head.
“I can’t do that. We’re living in this world right now. There’s other people around. Just, when we’re alone, just the two of us, could we maybe talk about our previous lives. About anime, for example…”
Cain nodded.
He then talked about Drintor and told Lula about his future plans for the town.
“Then, I guess I’ll go help out. I’ll tell Silvia-san I’ll be going to Drintor on the weekend.”
“Let me talk to Silvia about that. Once I’m finished with school, I’ll take Laura along too. Thanks for the help.”
Lula nodded at Cain’s words.
Once they had finished talking, Lula left to go help Silvia.
Koran then replaced her in talking with Cain, and was told about how Cain was going to take Lula and Laura to Drintor on the weekend.
“Cain-sama, I don’t mind you taking them to Drintor, but is leaving internal affairs up to Lula a good idea?”
As Koran didn’t know about Lula’s previous life, he was skeptical about leaving it all to Lula.
“It’s fine, I’ll be there to oversee things. We need to get a school built quick, so we can have a place for Laura and the orphans in Drintor to all study together.”
“Understood, if Cain-sama says so, it’ll be fine. As you didn’t go to school today, Her Highness Princess Telestia and Lady Silk came to visit. They left a letter as well, so please read it.”
Taking the letter from Koran, Cain opened the envelope and read the letter’s contents. It was a letter inviting him to a tea party at the royal castle the next day after school.
“It’s an invitation from Teles and Silk, so I’ll be going straight to the royal castle after school tomorrow.”
Koran nodded.
“True, Cain-sama, you’ve been so busy lately, you didn’t have all that many opportunities to see all your fiancées. I think that if you have the time, it would do good to take them out somewhere. Well then, dinner’s nearly ready, so I’ll go help out.”
“Alright. I’ve still got some things to mull over, so please come call me once the food’s ready. I’ll be working here until then.”
Koran acquiesced, gave a bow, and left the office.
Sitting on the sofa, Cain stretched and leaned back.
“To think there were other reincarnated Japanese people… I wish the gods would tell me these sorts of things…”
Cain added more things to the notebook that he showed to Lula earlier.
When dinner was ready, Silvia went to tell him, and Cain headed to the dining room.
Everyone else was already seated and waiting for him. Lula and Laura were helping Silvia, dressed in maid uniforms. Laura was only ten, so she wasn’t all that used to everything yet, so she looked quite nervous.
After dinner, Cain holed himself up in the office and summarized everything he wanted to do in Drintor in his notebook.
“Yeah. I’ve got it. Now I just have to talk this all over with Alec-nii-sama and Lula.”
He put the notebook back in his desk drawer, and, after yawning, changed clothes, got in his bed, and let his consciousness drift off.
