Ah so he was indeed a boy
TBH I would have liked it if he was a girl - could've been a cute mother-daughter kinda relationship (though she's way too young to be a mother).
I guess he's gonna be the male lead? Hope it develops nicely.
@welcome2atlantis Hello, I'm the translator. It's a little unclear because Japanese uses very few pronouns, so I went with girl when I saw Fizz using "beautiful girl" (bishoujo) to describe Kuelle before I realized that young boy (shounen) is used in the novel...
tl;dr Pretty sure boy? Pretty sure
