Ikemen ni Tenseishita kedo, Cheat ha Dekimasenseshita

in the middle of deciphering it.
I mean, it looks the same yet not at the same time.
See here, this part.
Look at these letters.
This one is written with three lines, yet it’s facing a different orientation.
Since these letters have some meaning, the different orientation might mean something else.
This is worth researching.”

 

… Uhm, I can’t see it as anything but ‘に(Ni)’ though… Well, the orientation was completely wrong, but I am pretty sure this one is showing the particle of the sentence.
I decided as I looked at the letters shown to me.

 

Then, I looked at the letters carved in the tiara and tried to read it.

 

‘I, Goldias, offered my true love to my beloved, Selendia.’

 

Dumbfounded, I moved on to the cane, only to find similar words etched there with only a name difference.

 

‘I, Griffeel, offered my true love to my beloved, Selendia.’

 

That was it.
That was the only way to read them.
It had no other meaning at all.

 

Incidentally, the letters on the tiara that Luke was looking at were upside down, and he was reading it from the end.
Meanwhile, the one on the cane was written horizontally in a vertical position.
And that might be the reason why he thought those letters had different meanings.
Because of the letters’ orientation.

 

Should I tell him about this fact? I meant, it was normal for people without any knowledge in Japanese language to misread the sentences and accidentally read it upside down, which caused it to be extremely confusing since it was read in a completely incorrect way.
However, how could I point that fact out?

 

Hmm, perhaps it’ll be much better if I showed him the table corresponding to the ancient language?

 

… Alright then, since that’s the case, let’s copy the letter first.
I decided, but… Uuh, writing these letters in reverse was tough.
The letters were also crooked when I wrote them in landscape… Still, it wasn’t that big of a deal since it was written with crayon after all.

I marked the first letter with a circle and the last letter with a triangle, then I added an underline.
Furthemore, I also wrote it with different colors.
The one from tiara with golden color, and the one from the cane with green one.
After that, I cut each letter with scissors.

 

“Just what are you doing?” Luke asked when he saw what I was doing.

 

“Well, take a look.” I said, overlapping the golden colored letters and green letters together.

 

With this, he would soon realize that although those letters had different orientations, they’re literally the same when they were piled up together on top of each other.

 

“These letters are similar, right?”

 

Everything matched except for the ‘Goldiaz’ and ‘Griffeel’ parts.
The clarification would be much faster after I showed him this, right?

 

What I didn’t expect was Luke trembling all over when I showed that to him.

 

“Does that mean… the orientation of the first and last letter is… different?”

 

Oh, he catches up pretty quickly, huh.
And here I’m about to worry about him.
I thought, secretly wiping my inner sweat off.

 

“You, how did you know that?”

 

“The shape of the letters are pretty much similar, so I think they might be actually the same letter.”

 

“What have you been doing together since a while ago? It looks rather interesting?” Frederick looked over at us as he asked me that.

 

“Uhm, studying ancient letters?”

 

“Hee… if I’m not wrong, these letters should be ‘Selendia’.
It seems to be the Saint’s name.” He said as he lined up the letters.

 

The left of the green-striped letters, and the above letter of the gold-striped letters.
Yup, they now looked like proper Japanese letters.
Thank you for your assistance, Frederick.

 

“These were the important letters for the royal family, right, Elliot?”

 

Being suddenly addressed by  Frederick, Elliot was unable to hide his surprise momentarily.
However, he soon returned to his usual sulky expression.
Nevertheless, he still came near us when he heard Frederick’s call, which was quite rare.

 

“Yeah, you’re right, Big Brother.
It’s the letters I often see in the genealogy of the royal family.”

 

When he spoke this time, I noticed that he suddenly became a little bit more zealous than usual.
Was he actually a history otaku? Wait, no, forget it.
Perhaps it was much better for me to not treat him like your normal everyday children; he’s royalty, after all.
Anyway, the fact that he willingly came near Frederick now was a good thing for my ‘Let’s Get Along’ plan.

“I see… so it’s the Saint’s—”

 

Then, let’s drop another hint to Luke who was still pondering about something~.
I cheerfully decided as I opened the Saint’s Legend book which I brought with me.
If I’m not wrong, it should be around… this page!

 

It was the page that depicted the scene where the six Gods were offering their love to the Saint.
The letters written in this particular scene had almost the same meaning as the one written in the ancient language etched on the ornaments.

 

“Maybe, it’s this one? Look, they were presenting the carved words of love to their marriage partner, right? It’s the love confession of the six Gods, right?”

 

When I said that, the three of them stiffened at once, and I wondered why.
I meant, Luke aside, why did Elliot and Frederick have the same reaction?

 

“Theodore, is that the only thing that came into your head? I mean, these are ancient letters, you know? As if they’re going to do something as simple as writing their love confession on it.”

 

“Your head is always filled with a flower garden, eh.”

 

HORAAAAAAAAAAA, I’m trying to help you here!!! I screamed inwardly, peeved.

 

“No way… I’ve to inform…!”

 

Luke suddenly stood up from his chair and left the room in a hurry.
Wait, could he be going to the store right now?! Even though he had said that he was told by his father to not come to the store just a while ago?!

 

Wait, wait, wait, that’s not the point.
Didn’t my father tell me to not come since it’s dangerous?! Aaaah, anyway, let’s just chase him to prevent any incident now.

 

I have to stop him from going to the store even if I can’t calm him down.
Besides, if he did understand something from our discussion, it’ll be much better for him to inform us and our fathers about it first, won’t it?
