Soon I realized how Ahin knew about it . I guess it’s obvious… Those troublemakers were the only ones in the empire who would leave the room only to find more trouble . They were the only ones I’d ever have to go looking for . Therefore, I was also out of the room, so I was looking for them . I was a fool .
“Let’s search together, then . ”
Huh? Together…? Did that mean he knew where they were?
I was a little confused, but before I knew it, I ended up following Ahin .
This was so awkward…
I had thought about this before, but he seemed really different when I saw him up close . I turned cautiously and looked at Ahin . Was it because his skin was paler than mine? He seemed so pure and clean .
Now that I have come to think of it, he’s older than me .
Well, only if I considered my physical age now . I couldn’t believe I was supposed to call this little guy big brother and speak more formally .
“By the way, you don’t have to be so formal with me . It’s more comfortable for me . ”
“V-very well . ”
Well, I couldn’t really argue with that if he’s so upfront about it . I just bit my lips .
Ugh… no matter how nice he was to look at, this was still so awkward… This air’s really heavy for me to relax . I couldn’t take it anymore… How could I escape this awkwardness? Oh, this was driving me crazy .
Since I talked to him so casually when we first met, it’s tricky to be formal suddenly . Well, it might be funny if I started acting more orderly now . Besides, he didn’t seem to mind…
“Hey, what sort of country is S-Hertogenbosch?”
I asked because the air flowing between us was so awkward, but Ahin seemed so surprised when he heard this . Wasn’t he overreacting? Now I felt embarrassed . However, he appeared merely surprised and didn’t seem to have any other feelings . He looked like he was agonizing for a moment before he quickly answered my question .
“… it’s an empire that’s all white . ”
“Huh? Why’s that? Is it winter all year round there?”
Since it’s a Northern Empire, I could imagine it being covered in snow . However, Ahin gave an unexpected answer .
“No . The winters are indeed long, but it isn’t wintering all year . Actually, it isn’t even cold there . ”
“Huh? How is it not cold?”
“Thanks to the barrier His Holiness created, the temperature of the empire is always the same . ”
Then why’s it called the white empire?
