The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 67: Arrived at the Sinatras' Household ①

The carriage drove Sam to a large mansion on the outskirts of Royal Capital.

「So this is the mansion of Ur’s master.」

Sam thanked the rider and got out of the carriage.

Then he noticed a woman standing in front of the slightly deserted mansion.

The woman was about the same age as Lise.

She was a dignified beauty with a straight back and good posture, and her blue hair was cropped around her chin.

She turned to Sam and bowed.

「I’ve been expecting you. Welcome to the Sinatra family.」

「I’m Samuel Scheidt. I apologize for the unexpected visit.」

When Sam greeted her, the woman looked up and smiled.

「No, Count Walker and Lise have already contacted me, so I hope you don’t mind. Besides, I am sure my father will be pleased to hear that you are a disciple of Ur-sama.」

「I hope so.」

「I am sure he will be pleased. I will take you to my father immediately. Oh, I’m sorry I’m late in introducing myself. I am Francesca Sinatra, daughter of Delight Sinatra. I am not as talented as my father or Ur-sama, but I am a wizard.」

Sam noticed from the first glance that the woman―――Francesca―――is a wizard.

Her magical power is high.

She is probably even more powerful than Erica, who has a lot of magic power.

Above all, her every movement was polished, and Sam could tell that it was the movement of someone with considerable ability.

(I guess that means she’s the daughter of Ur’s master, huh?)

「Francesca, you are…」

「Please call me Fran. Everyone close to me calls me that.」

「Ah, yes. Then you can call me Sam, too.」

「I understand, Sam-sama.」

「No, um, please call me Sam. And please don’t use honorifics. I’m younger than you, and Francesca-sama is a countess.」

Sam is not fond of being revered by people of higher age and position than him.

And Francesca is probably not the kind of person who would naturally have this kind of attitude.

She has an atmosphere similar to Lise’s, which made Sam think so.

Perhaps he was right, but the corners of Francesca’s eyes relaxed.

「Fufu. Then, I’ll call you Sam. I’d like you to call me Fran, too, Sam-kun.」

「Yes, Fran-sama.」

Francesca―――so that’s how Fran’s name was broken.

Her smile catches Sam’s attention and he too relaxes his cheeks.

There was a certain air of friendliness about Fran.

「Then, I’ll take you to my father. Well, I’m sorry if, you see, maybe you’ll have a bad experience.」

「Err…」

Sam is puzzled by the sudden apology.

「My father has been drinking ever since he heard the news of Ur-sama’s death… and he’s been drinking more than usual.」

「……He must be that sad.」

It seems that the news of Ur’s passing has already been passed on.

「He was so fond of Ur that I… his daughter, was jealous of her. I’m sure he can’t accept that she’s gone.」

「I understand how you feel.」

Even Sam has not yet gotten over Ur’s death.

Sometimes he wonder if Ur would pop up and say,「It was a joke!」

Lise and her family may have accepted Ur’s death, but they have not gotten over it.

Günther, for example, whom he just met the other day, could not even accept his death.

It is impossible for a master who cared so much about Ur not to be depressed when he hears the news of his beloved disciple’s death.

It is understandable that it is hard to accept death.

「But that’s being naive.」

But Delight’s daughter was stern with her father.

「Even little Sam-kun has accepted Ur-sama’s death and is looking forward like this… I’m ashamed of him, even as my father.」

「I have a lot of memories with Ur.」

「……good boy.」

.

At Sam’s words, Fran narrowed her eyes and patted his head.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Sam did not refuse Fran’s hand.

Somehow, she had the same vibe as the Count Walker people.

「Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just…」

「No, I don’t mind.」

「I’ve always been an only child, so I thought if I had a little brother, he’d be like Sam-kun.」

「I’d be happy too if I had a sister like Fran-sama.」

「My, you flatter me. I hear that Lise also loves you like a little brother, and I’m a little envious.」

While this exchange was going on, Sam was invited inside the Sinatras’ house by Fran.

「I’m sorry, I just got carried away. I don’t get many visitors. I’ll take you to my father soon. Come on, this way.」

Guided by Fran, Sam stepped into the mansion of Ur’s master.
