After giving me instructions, Wolf jii-san went back to reading his own book. From time to time he would raise his glass to his lips.
It’s wine.
Ever since Marcel started understanding the ways of the world, this jii-san would always be indulging in wine while reading a book with his other hand.
At first, he did teach Marcel how to properly read and write to some extent, but later it basically became entirely self-study. He’ll instruct me to read something, and after that it’s just reading.
Thinking of it now it’s really a mystery, only during this book reading time does Marcel’s selfishness not work for him at all.
No matter how tired Marcel was or how badly he was misbehaving, he never skipped out on book reading time even once. Come to think of it, what would that be. I’m going to have to make sure of the reason.
“Wolf jii-san, I’ve arrived~.”
Michelle has arrived as well. The maid that was always with her wasn’t here now. She only accompanied Michelle to the cottage, and then returned to the mansion.
“Welcome, Michelle-sama. Your book for today is over there, so please take it.”
“I understand.”
Michelle was also obedient whenever she was with Wolf jii-san. Probably, she’s just like me in that she treats him courteously because she doesn’t know exactly what kind of existence he is.
Michelle and I sat in chairs next to each other, and were both reading our own respective books. Using standards from my previous world, my book seems to be at a first-year middle schooler’s level, while Michelle’s is at an older elementary schooler’s level. This world’s spoken and written language are both Japanese.
Languages like English, French, and German are also present, but these are considered aristocratic ancient languages. Kanji seems to be the commoners’ ancient language, so probably because of the original game it’s still appearing in the language now. It’s used in people’s names and some proper nouns in the ancient language, but right now it’s not being used in the mother language of the country or by the people.
