Mysterious women Amelia

Kyle asked in a polite but friendly tone.

"Sure thing. You must be a rookie adventurer. Am I right, boy? Most rookie

adventurers your age get jaded early on, but from what I can see, you don't

appear too haughty, so you're doing well. If you wanna use this city as your

base, I'll welcome you here."

"Thanks." Kyle wasn't exactly an adventurer, but he didn't feel the need to

correct the man either, so he let the comment slide.

Right, so you wanted to know about this country. Well, there's the Wrathsforth Empire to the north, who we squabble with by way of the smaller nations

between us. We have an alliance with Erugenia located to our north-east.

Then there's the Kingdom of Verdantia to the south, who we aren't on bad terms

with, either. This is a pretty comfortable place to live in, if you ask me.

Especially in this city."

"It's a small city, but it seems lively and bustling with people." Kyle voiced the

thought he'd had earlier while he watched the workers.

"You got that right! And it's all thanks to—"

"— the way Lady Amelia's governed this trade city, Eldoria! How about it,

boy? Wanna try some 'pasta' soup? It's a kind of 'men' food that Lady Amelia invented."

The skewer stall owner was building up the tension in his speech, when the

owner of the stall next to him suddenly butted in. He had just seen off his last

few customers.

"Aww, bro. I was just about to say that myself." The skewer stall owner sulked

at having the spotlight stolen from him.

"Hehe. Don't say that, little bro. You were gonna recommend that boy over

here, weren't you?"

Apparently, these two were brothers. The older brother apologized, making

the little brother brighten up with a smile.

Amelia.. Wait, did he just say 'pasta' and 'men'?

As the two brothers chit-chatted, Kyle's ears zeroed in on the vocabulary that

had appeared in their conversation, because 'pasta' and 'men' were two words

that Kyle— no, Earth's Kyle— was quite familiar with. 'Pasta' was a type of

Italian cuisine, while 'men' was the Japanese word for noodles, which derived

from the Chinese word 'mein.' Neither were foods that Kyle had experienced

eating in this world before.

There was no way the inhabitants of this world should have known those

words.

"Pasta soup and... men, you say?" Kyle asked hesitantly.

"Yep. Pasta's a type of food that's made from processed wheat. Lady Amelia

says it's a type of men. The only place you can eat it outside of the city walls is. at my bro's stall," the skewer stall owner explained proudly.

"Then... can I get one serving of that pasta soup, please?" In this case, seeing

was believing — so Kyle decided to go ahead and order it.

"That's the spirit! Normally, I'd charge eight small coppers... but since you just

came from the countryside, I'll give you a discount. That'll be four small

coppers, just for you, boy."

With the stall owner's discount, Kyle handed him four small copper coins with

thanks.

"Pleasure doing business. I'ma cook it up right now, so just sit tight. While

you're waiting, you can hear all about the wonderful Lady Amelia from my

bro."

"Then, if you're willing to oblige?" Interest piqued by the talk of this pastainventing Amelia girl, Kyle decided to go along with the man's suggestion. He

turned to face the skewer stall owner.

"Righto, leave it to me. Lady Amelia is the governess of the city of Amande.

She's the daughter of Duke Beaumont, and she graduated from the Royal Academy

of Avalon when she was ten years old. Duke Beautmont left her in charge of

governing this town shortly after her graduation," the skewer stall owner

explained evenly.

The trading city of Eldoria was a small city created by logging the trees in the

forest. It was located on the westmost outreaches of Duke Beautmont's territory in

the west part of kingdom of Avalon. It was only half a year ago that Amelia assumed the post of

Governess of Eldoria; ever since she came into power, the town that had been

nothing more than a pit stop for travelers had rapidly progressed in

development. Now, Eldoria was on track to become a vital trading site that connected the Erugenia and the Avalon. The population

was around 1,000, but the hustle and bustle of the city far surpassed that

number.

herself was still eleven years old, yet she had a number of different

achievements under her belt. The skewer stall owner spoke of them all with

pride.First, she had caused an agricultural revolution in the farmlands of Duke

Beautmont's territory. Second, she continuously invented new foods and recipes.

Third, she also put consideration into the ability of the cityfolk to have leisure

and recreation-time. Fourth, she was also the leader of the largest trade

organization in the city, the Rose Guild. And there were more achievements in

addition to those, still.

"And above all else—"

"— she's absolutely adorable!"

Just as an infatuated expression appeared on the skewer stall owner's face,

the pasta stall owner interrupted from his side. The two brothers' words

overlapped neatly.

"H-Huh..." Kyle drew back a little at their creepy synchronization, but the

skewer stall owner paid no mind to Rio's reaction as he continued.

"She doesn't act arrogant when dealing with commoners like us, either. Every

now and then she'll come to inspect the market outside the city walls, and last

time, she even smiled at me!" he said with a grin, but the pasta stall owner

looked exasperated by his words.

"That was just you mistaking her line of sight." She was definitely smiling at me

back then."

"What?! 'Fraid I can't let a comment like that slide so easily, brother!"

Amelia was basically the idol of this city. Truth be told, being the daughter of

nobility already put her far out of the reach of commoners. Having a cute

appearance — and a kind personality on top of that — made it easy for

misunderstandings to occur. Even so, this Liselotte was only eleven years old,

and the brothers before Kyle were easily in their thirties. He couldn't help but

smile bitterly at that.

"I see you both have a lot of love for Lady Amelia," Kyle said in an attempt to

placate them.

"F-Fool! We're not good enough to love her!"

"T-That's right! We may be happy to lay down our lives for Lady Amelia, but that's beside the point!" Their love for Amelia ran so deep, Kyle's face twitched

in his attempt to keep smiling.
