Jill's Origin
「Heeyyー! Be quiet!」
Tamaria yelled from the dining space in the courtyard. The 4-year-olds - who had become used to the housing facility - were acting up. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s already halfway through mealtime, and the children who are in charge of serving are also about to have their meal. Seeing me, she tried to get up in a hurry,but I waved my hand to stop her. I can do that much myself. I am the one who came late after all.
「Eh? What happened with the book?」
Tamaria asked while holding the wooden spoon ina bad manner in her mouth.
「A, ahhー...un, I’ll do it later」
「Hmmー?」
Looks like she realized the change in my expression. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「That’s.....aah, no…..hey! Noor, you’re smart, right?」
「I don’t think that’s something you should say to the person directly」
She doesn’t stop talking while grinning.
「There you go again! Dona-chan said it! Always. Noor is really smart, or something like that」
「R, really?」
「Un! Rather, Dona-chan always talks about Noor」
I became quite close to Tamaria these past 2 years. She had more of an air of tension and a strong impression around her previously. She began to act more casual after seeing Detel off to be taken into a merchant family. This might be her natural expression from the start.
「But, it’s not like that」
「Now now. You know, I have a bunch of things I want you to teach me」
Oh. I wonder if there is still something she needs to learn at this point? She can read and write properly, and she can also do simple calculations. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It has been decided that Tamaria will be sent to the brothel. I don’t know where she will end up, but it’s probably a high-class establishment for nobles. Or maybe, a place a step lower than that, an establishment for the wealthy citizen. It has not been decided which establishment it will be, but as long as it is an establishment of that level, she won’t need further education. In case she works in a real high-class establishment, then it seems like she will be trained in all sorts of things such as singing, playing instruments, dancing, and manners, but there is no one who can teach her those things in this place.
「Aah, un, what is it?」
「Hmー, it’s going to be long……right, do you have time, this afternoon?」
I have mostly been released from doing miscellaneous duties thanks to Myluc, which is something I’m grateful for. I am mostly free aside from teaching the children and helping with the office work. And the older children are out right now and everyone is being exempted from afternoon class.
「Uhhー, Myluc said there was no work in the afternoon」
「It’s no problem then! Let’s go to Noor’s room then…ah, no, maybe my room will be better, I guess」
「Going to a girls’ room.....wonder if I’ll get scolded」
「It’ll be fine if it’s before sunset, right? Come over once you’ve finished eating」
She stood up while saying that, picked up her own tray, and went to clean up.
*******
Estimating the right time, I quietly climbed the stairs. It’s not like there are guards but as expected, I can’t help but feel worried when entering a girl’s room. I also headed out a little later since I factored in nap time.
I knock on the thin wooden door. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Yesー」
A drawn-out voice responds.
「Yaa」
「……somehow, Tamaris has become cheerful lately」
「Well」
She is sitting on the bed, dangling her legs. But, the floor is close to her feet, so the soles of her feet are rubbing against it. The bed is no longer going to suit her height. It is too small.
「I feel like you became vulgar」
「Well, yeah, it happened?」
「Happened? What is?」
「My first menstruation」
I lost strength in my body.
「I told you, that kind of thing」
「Hahaha」
She is a 12-year-old girl, so is that not too soon, physically? But, I was unrelated to women in my previous life, so I couldn’t help but feel awkward when seeing this side of women.
「Noor is, you’re really smart, grow up quickly, yet so naive」
「Say it’s childish instead」
「What part? A child will not even understand before they get embarrassed」
「That’s true, I guess」
She wildly laughed after seeing the bewildered look on my face. Her tied and bundled golden hair sways. Aah, so pathetic. Even though I lived 3 times longer than her. To think I could be teased this easily. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Even though I raped and killed my own mother, the situation right now and back then was too different. It’s completely impossible for me to act like that without the fear of life and death, on top of the accumulated hatred. Also, I have been feeling less tension lately.
「Well, sit down」
「Ah, un」
「That’s.....is the cute Dona-chan’s bed! It smells good, right!」
I was about to sit down, but I stood up again.
「Ah, you want to sit beside me? Un, c’me here c’me here」
She beckoned and patted the place right next to her.
She’s hopeless. This kind of thing will never end if you have a serious relationship with her. I turn my back and start turning the doorknob. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ahー! I’m just kidding, just kidding! Sorry!」
「Really.....」
So I turn around and sit in front of her. This is Dona’s bed, but let’s not worry about every single thing. Or rather, I was just 5 and Dona just turned 6, y’know? It is said in my previous life’s Confucianism that boys and girls can’t sit together after they turn 7. That means there’s no problem up to 6 years old.
「You’re so open-minded, aren’t you, Tamaria」
When I said that with a sigh, Tamaria lowered her tone of voice and looked downward.
「The future is roughly decided after all」
「Do you dislike it?」
「Hmー.....I wonder?」
Tamaria’s everyday clothes are a patched skirt. And yet, she folded her knees up toward her chest. I can see her underwear. I casually looked away.
「I was actually the daughter of a poor farmer. So, I was shocked when I was sold. If it’s normal life, then my parents would have chosen a partner for me and would have lived with a similarly poor person, right? So, I will be the one selling, right? Selling the child I gave birth to」
She still has a bright smile on her face, but she can easily speak the ruthless reality.
「So, I started to think it is surprisingly not so bad after all. It will be great if I can be loved by a wonderful husband and raise children, but it’s difficult to do that in that village. So I guess I have no complaint. Un, at least I come to understand it」
Is that how it is? No, it’s probably the only way to think about it.
「So, you know」
「Un, what does Tamaria want to know?」
「……are you aroused?」
This b*tch. So showing her skirt was intentional? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……I’m going back」
「Waaー, wait! Sorry, I’m kidding!」
This.....next time she does something again, I’m going back.
「Please do that kind of thing with the customers you’re dealing with in the store」
「How cold of you, Noor. Girls around that age sometimes want to be evaluated too, you know?」
「Don’t ask that kind of thing from a 5-year-old kid」
Before I could sit back down, Tamaria grabbed her skirt and forcefully pulled it down. So then I sit down opposite her after making her sit up straight.
「So what do you want to know?」
「Un, about that」
As I asked again, a grin appeared on Tamaria’s face.
「……did you see it?」
「……see what?」
I replied, feeling annoyed.
「About Jill」
I was caught off guard, thinking she was just continuing her teasing, when her real question arrived.
「You noticed」
「Somehow」
Her expression becomes a little serious. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I mean, look, from my position, there’s an education in that area in the end, right? So I thought, I’m going to tell you about it since it’s Noor, for example, birth control. So, it was Jill who taught me that」
「So it was like that」
「But, you need experience to teach, right? So, if you are the same Saharian like Myluc, you’d think something like that could happen, right」
「Certainly」
It’s reasonable when you think about it. Not all the girls bought here can be a maid. There are probably a lot of cases of girls with a similar fate like Tamaria. But, I have never seen Myluc using someone like a brothel madam before. So naturally, that job should be something handled by the sole woman here, Jill.
「Even Ihave never seen it before with my own eyes, well, I just wanted to check if that sort of thing had happened, I guessー」
「I see, I understand」
Come to think of it, Myluc is also a man. Although he is already a middle-aged man, he is still healthy physically so it’s not surprising and strange even for him to have such a desire.
But....
「Speaking of which....」
「Hm?」
「I wonder if Myluc has a family?」
「Hmmー……」
Tamaria tilted her head in contemplation. Come to think of it, that’s right. I have never seen Myluc’s family or relatives even once. I don’t remember hearing him talking about them either. I didn’t think anything about it in the first place, but it feels strange even now. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s been 3 years since I came here, but I never saw Myluc going on a trip. Even if he goes out, it will be a case of either buying slaves to resupply slaves they had been sold or going to check on his merchant ship that had arrived at the harbor, in short, he only goes out for work-related reasons.
So he lives mostly just like a shut-in, but in the meantime, his family never comes here. As for people like messengers, they sometimes arrive riding a horse. But they are not a relative, just a messenger.
「I thought ‘I wonder if Jill is his daughter’ until I heard that Jill was doing it with him, seeー……」
「’Doing it’, a girl saying that is」
「Ahaha, sorry」
She showed a clear smile without appearing embarrassed.
I accidentally blurted out something I already knew.
「But, at least we know that Jill and Myluc are not directly related to each other」
「How?」
There is a plain and simple reason.
I’ve known about it since the first time I met them.
「Aren’t their names different? Look, their surnames」
「Ehh? Isn’t it ‘Necamel’?」
「What are you talking about? It’s War Tock. Jill War Tock」
After saying it, I looked at Tamaria’s face and froze.
Her smile had completely disappeared from her face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
