However, they can’t photosynthesize during the night.
Too much work is definitely not a good thing.
「Riito, sama?」
Frau looked into my face as I’m probably making a difficult expression.
She’s a beautiful girl.
「I was wondering how did Frau learn how to speak newt’s language?」
The old dictionary that Frau was carrying in her purse was probably her textbook.
However, it is impossible to be completely self-taught.
She needs to learn how to read newt characters and even basic grammar.
The literacy rate in this world, Harmonia, is not very high.
According to what I’ve seen, only one out of four people can read and write properly.
It would take a very strange person to teach letters and language to a flower girl in such a remote region.
I asked Frau to lend me the dictionary she was holding.
It’s a battered dictionary. The pages of which have been turned over many times and it is easy to see that she has studied them.
I flipped through the contents and could not find anything unusual.
Finally, I check the back of the book.
「Whoah!!!!!!!!」
「W-w-w-w-w-what, matter?」
「…..I see.」
The signature of the previous owner of the dictionary – the one who had given it to Frau was written there.
The Great High Witch.
The stroke and penmanship look familiar.
「What, is, it, Riito, sama, na no?」
「Frau, thank you for your concern. I just figured out a lot of things….as expected, it’s master.」
There are several reasons why I, Riito, a reincarnated person, awakened as a prodigy and a mage. Of course, there are also my overachieving qualities and the presence of Navi.
However, my encounter with my master is the most important thing.
Freer than anyone, more unrestrained than anyone, and kinder than anyone.
She’s a free traveler so she never stays in one place.
In such a remote area, she would even teach a flower girl how to read and write newt language on a whim.
If master taught her, it’s no wonder that there’s only one girl who knows the newt language. That’s the kind of person she is.
Of course, I applaud Frau’s efforts to keep up learning even after master left.
If Frau couldn’t speak, I don’t think things would have gone so well.
Or rather, it went too well.
「You’ve made it all possible! Thank you!」
