Chapter 43 – Part 1
[You called me?]
I looked at Hilla and said, “Here it is. My assistant!”
“A c-crow?” He made an even more bizarre expression.
While stroking Kuhn’s feathers, I added, “Kuhn, can you turn into a cat now?”
[Here? In front of him?]
“Yes, we are on the same side. You can, right?”
“…What are you doing?” Hilla tilted his head and looked at me for a moment.
“I’m asking Kuhn to do something.”
“You mean, you are having a conversation?”
“Yeah!”
I was the only one who could hear Kuhn’s voice. Even so, it was necessary to let Hilla know that Kuhn was a mysterious being.
[That’s easy. I’ll do it if it’s your request.]
“Thank you!”
Kuhn granted my request very easily. Soon, Kuhn spread his wings and flapped them both, then he turned into a cat.
Hilla was startled and took a step back. “Wh, what is that?”
I smiled and stroked Kuhn. “He’s not just a crow. Kuhn is a very cool guardian. He also told me that I wasn’t sick because of body aches but from my magic.”
[I’m pretty cool.] Kuhn shook his body with his tail straight up, feeling good about the praise.
“Is this the Guardian?”
“Yeah, but he is not ‘this’, but Kuhn.”
“Yes, Kuhn. Can I call you Kuhn?”
I looked at Kuhn.
[Say yes.]
“You can.”
From Kuhn to Hilla, I tried to act as the mediator between the two of them.
“I heard it from my mother when I was young. I thought it was just a mysterious being who helped witches and just a legend… I can’t believe that I am actually seeing that being now. And I’d never thought it would look like this.” Hilla stared at Kuhn and couldn’t take his eyes off of him.
“Kuhn helps me a lot. It was Kuhn who saved me when I was in that unknown place. I would be locked up there if it weren’t for him.”
[But as long as I am there, that won’t happen.]
Kuhn continued to make sounds like meow, meow.
Hilla stared at him. “Are you talking with him right now?”
“Yes. Although Hilla can’t hear it.”
“Indeed, he just sounds like a cat to me.”
“I will interpret for you. Because even Kuhn can hear Hilla’s words.”
“Then I’d be grateful. I never thought of this kind of help.”
“Because I am still young, I couldn’t help Hilla much. It was you who was helping me. That’s why I introduced Kuhn to you.”
“Thank you. I’ll do my best for you, too. First of all,” as Hilla said so, he took out another book. It was a book made by weaving the papers one by one, but when I opened it, I saw a page with a line drawn and full of squares. He grinned at me. “You’ll have to learn the letters first if you want to read all this book. Fill in all these fields and study the letters.”
“All… of this?”
’It looks like there are over 100 blank spaces.’
Hilla only smiled. “You haven’t forgotten, have you? That I am your writing teacher.”
“B-but—”
“I want to overlook it, but if you don’t write a letter for His Excellency, I won’t be able to avoid the punishment.”
“Ugh…”
“Above all, I hate having my salary reduced the most in the world. So I’m sorry, but my lady should also do her best.”
’He even gave me a finely sharpened pencil—three bags of them!’
[You need to learn that?]
“Hmm…”
[Mariette, it must be difficult.]
Hilla pointed to the chair and asked me to sit. I sat on my chair with a protruding mouth to the best I could and grabbed a pencil.
’Alright, I guess I should do this.’
“You should learn writing as part of a witch’s family. How about you read a line from the books about the witch’s family every time you memorize a letter?”
“One page!”
Hilla burst into laughter as I quickly shouted. “Yes, alright. Then, every time you memorize a letter, you can read a page. I wonder which chapter will be about your family.”
It wasn’t long before Hilla wrote the first letter. The real first class has just begun.
