"We heard about Taura's belongings. Master Rust, Taura told me a lot about you. If Rust is here instead of Taura, then something must have happened to her..."

　I glance at Roa before answering.

　Roa tilts his head at me with a curious look on his face, while his eyes are filled with magical elements.

"Ah. With God's <, our conversation here is confidential. Rest assured.

　He must have noticed that we exchanged glances. Kahelonee then struck a pose of prayer, as Taura used to do.

　My alchemist's eye can see that there is a faint trace of magical element in her body.

　Is there such a thing? There's a lot I don't know about the oracle of Taura, isn't there? The power of the high Alaisra.

The room is filled with the magic of Kahelone's own element, transforming it into something unknown to me.

That amount of magic can't have interfered with the event that much. Is there some trick in this room itself? Whatever it is, it's interesting: ....... No, no, no. Now we're talking about Taura.

　I pull my attention back, which is about to wander.

　The force that Cahelone calls the divine blessing, which interferes with our perception from the outside.

　Even if I am concerned about the identity of this unknown force, I have more important things to do.

Excuse me. Sister Kahlonay, would you mind first showing us what Taura says she left here?"

"...... is fine. Please wait here."

　A furrowed brow indicates approval, and Kahelonay leaves the room.

　Loa tugs on my sleeve and murmurs softly in a whisper.

"Master Rust, it's impolite to call Kahelonay a sister. On purpose?"

"Oh, really?"

"Master Rust, you are surprisingly ignorant. She was using <>. And from the way she's dressed, she's at least acting rank. We usually call her Akhtar Kahlonay."

"Actor," right? ....... So, are there a lot of people in this acting class?"

"I don't know. There's a fair amount of it in folk tales and nursery rhymes."

　I was about to say "You don't know that?" but I suppressed it. After all, that soft-spoken Roa went out of his way to tell me.

　But still, another nursery rhyme. I'm not good at that kind of talk, like when I was a player. .......

　I reflect on this and ask Roa about something that has been bothering me.

"...... Well, isn't Taura the acting director of that or something?"

　As we are talking, we hear the door open.

　Kahelonay comes back into the room.

　Behind her are the same sisters I had seen earlier. In their hands are boxes of various sizes. It seemed that they had brought the boxes by hand.
