Common Sense of a Warrior

"... by the way, one favor from me too"

"What is it?

"By now, Master Louis will have made a request to General Gazelle... to keep Enaline with me"

"Well, get Enaline?

Sure, I remember Anna and Enaline and Mr. Abel talking amicably during training.

I didn't know that was developing into a friendship until I wanted a marriage.

... I was surprised because I thought it felt better with Anna after all.

"... probably not what you imagine. I'd like you to leave Enarine with my unit."

"Huh...... ah, oh.... is he a secret detective? Perhaps my father has offered Louis the same thing, but that will depend on his own will. If she wants, I don't disagree. I'm going to hear her will now. And then, what about Anna?

"Honestly, I'm soliciting Mr. Enaline to think it's appropriate... but if Mr. Enaline agrees, it's okay for Anna to come with us"

"Yes..."

Their desire to join the national army is fulfilled.

But at the same time, it wouldn't be the job they wanted.

Because they admired your father and wanted to be like him.

Besides, the job of a secret detective is dangerous.

... Especially since I don't have a completely dangerous job in the National Army.

That's why it all depends on their will.

And I called Enaline and Anna, and lay down their names for when they said no, and told them that they were being examined more than secret detectives in the national army.

Enaline agreed that she would love to be of service, and goodness told her not to hurry, but to stay behind the mansion with Louis.

And while Enaline was in charge, Anna was speaking amicably with Mr. Abel in a separate room.

Enaline, Anna, and Mr. Abel were out of the room at first, so I don't know what kind of flow only the two of them were supposed to talk about in the separate room.

... Again, it feels good and looks at the sight while erasing the signs.

Mr. Abel is always staring at Anna with a soft grin and glance that she doesn't show, and Anna had another cuter grin than usual.

... It's bad to see too much and interrupt, so it's time to go back.

As I waited in the room where I was alone, Mr. Abel returned most of all.

"... Um, Mr. Abel"

"Yes?"

"Though it may be an extra favor... who has Mr. Abel pledged to the future?

Did my question come as a surprise, Mr. Abel has a rare, rounded eye with a surprised look on his face.

"Um... just wondering..."

Mr. Abel laughed as he tried to withdraw his foreword as to whether the concierge was past.

"Unfortunately, no one has sworn in to each other. … I'm sure you won't be able to do it again."

"Why...?

"Because in my duties, fewer people should know who I am. Besides, my best is already... because when I give myself to this country, I swear to myself. Wouldn't it be more pitiful for a man like that and a woman who vows her future?

... Nothing, I couldn't say.

I wanted to ask why it would be so thorough... if it was okay to throw away his own happiness.

But I stopped myself from stepping in any further.

And then Enaline and Anna came back, and as they were, Mr. Abel took Enaline and left the mansion behind.

"... was it good?

I ask Anna as she drops off her leaving Enaline.

Actually, unexpectedly, Anna kicked Mr. Abel's story and said she wanted to stay with me.

"What is it?

"Stay here."

To my words, Anna smiled as she murmured 'Oh......'

"Merlis-sama used to say." Enlistment in the National Army was a means, not a dream itself, "he said. Me, too, same. He was beginning to wish to support Master Merlis in trying to protect his country in a way that only he could. That's one way to protect your country... think so.... Besides, I have asked General Gazelle as well as Master Merlis to save this life. So I also want to return the favor."

Truth is, I wanted to ask.

'Not just about your duties... but to Mr. Abel, didn't you want to follow me?'.

But I couldn't have said anything more if my eyes had been pointed at me without straying.

"… if you want"

"Thank you!... By the way, Dear Merlis. I have next plans, so it's time to support them."

"Oh... right. Bye, Anna. Nice to meet you."

Then we went back to the mansion and started making arrangements for a visit to the Duke of Grindle's house.
