On my winter vacation, I went to Istenrich, the emperor's capital, for the first time in a long time.

Lenin has been resting here since she lost her memory.

Even if I entered the Ice Glow Palace "Parry Shell On", which has been around for about two years, I didn't get any feelings.

The inner facial bleeding seemed to have changed a little because of the passage of the month and day.The former "colleagues" of the imperial chanting magician (Mage) era were also busy, so they never looked at each other.

I thought it would be better to say hello to the minister who was more clever than ever, but it seems that he has broken his body and returned home.Meltina was also absent because of her assignment.For that reason, I never met any other known faces.

It's been a long time since I visited the palace alone.

I wanted to see my mother's face, but on the other hand I felt like I didn't want to see her.

Face-to-face, they'll show you a full smile.She strives to recognize and understand herself as her daughter, even without memory.

Still, 'she' is not my old mother...

The feeling of such a board pinch.

In order to calm my mind, I entered the guest room for a while without going immediately, and it was about time.

Lenin came to Lenore's room to find out where he was.

And they confessed to knowing.The many things you did to your daughter in the past.

Lenore said to her mother who apologized on her face.

"... I remember my mother's anguish.... it's a series of painful days that make it harder to watch.... if you can forget it, you better forget it. "

Yes, it wasn't just me who suffered.My mother kept on fighting and... 'disappeared'.

"... but if Mother still wants her memory back... I'll do my best.... if you want it as it is, I'll be happy to accept it. "

Yes, it is.

"... it doesn't matter either way."

It has nothing to do with it.

"... whatever memory you have... my mother is my mother.... because my mother is my only family...! "

The fact that this person is Lenin Schlier Grousewitz... is my mother remains unchanged.

My wish is to make my mother happy.

If that's what this guy wants right now, even if his memory doesn't come back...

Lenore Schne-Growthwitz, right?

The man's visit was too abrupt.

The second half of Middle College's winter vacation, "The Silence of the White Rabbit (Rabbit Carm)", came to an end.

It was a young man who knocked on the door of Halschwart's house where Lenore was staying.

A person whose back is rounded and looks up at the opponent from below.

Red hair, depressed eyes and large eagle nose, lips hanging in a distorted shape only on the right side.I had the impression that the shape of my face was slightly bent, even if I had suffered a major injury in the past.

I am thin and I am about mid-20s.Although there was an atmosphere where humility seeped out of my back and appearance, I was almost intuitive about Lenore, who had once stepped on quite a few occasions as a court chanter (mage).

This man is a man who lives behind the scenes.

"... which one?"

If you don't mind using the half-open door as a shield,

"No, don't be so vigilant.I was born with a bad look on my face, so it would be helpful if you would give me a break. "

Hihihi, to a dubious man who laughs,

"... I was born suspicious.... I want you to give me a break. "

When the girl returned quietly, the man laughed without a damaging wind, saying, "Let's do it together."

"Then it's fine as it is, so can you listen to me a little bit?My name is Monotra Giln. I can do it with someone who lives smartly behind the scenes.Normally, merchants are easy to do. "

"... 'Usually'?"

"You're a smart lady.It's easy to leave the Penta Servant alone. "

"... so what can I do for you?"

After watching what was going on around him, the monstrous man lurked his voice deliberately.

"Let's be frank. I want you to introduce Meltina Snow."

"... Introduction"

"If you're a squire, it's easy to know.Mr Mertina is a busy man and is known for not catching him anyway.Even noble people are easy to meet, so it's hard to meet outside people like you.I visited her mansion for a while, but there was no sign of her coming back... "

"... what are you meeting Mel for?"

"Hehe. It's easy to talk about because it's easy to do business....."

Lenore was silent about the love and laughter.

Nature and silence dominated the field.

So, Monotra raises her hands and laughs at her.

"Oops, I've changed my mind.Let me explain in detail.It's not too late after that to put your magic trick into it. "

Frankly, Lenore is more vigilant.This man was clearly aware that the opponent in front of him had secretly started chanting.

"There are a few things we can do, and we want to help her.Speaking of Meltina Snow, the hero who literally saved the country by making it Badalnois's "Penta".I'm not the one who can see them deliciously.On the contrary, even officials in your country are having trouble getting in touch. "

"... that's why he contacted me as a servant."

"Exactly. In addition, it is easy to recognize that you... are the most forgiving person for Meltina.Except for the priest Omzolf. "

I didn't get lost, I was as sure as I'd ever seen it.

(... this man...)

There will be other reasons why I chose Lenore.

For example, the fact that the Gloucewitz family genealogy is now being disrupted.Father dies, mother loses her memory after she falls ill and hides.There are only a few relatives in Svoorn who don't even know their faces, and none of them are involved.A depicted fallen aristocrat.

From behind the scenes, there are no intruders and they are easy to deal with.

Lenore realized that it had been studied in detail.

"... and in return, I..."

What do I get in return for mediating Meltina with this Monotra?

Question it.

Of course, I have no intention of attracting her as my best friend to such a suspicious man.

I was just intrigued.

This Merchant is carefully investigating this matter.This man who has finished chanting so that he can be set up at any time and is not cognizant of fine dust in front of himself.

I wonder what kind of consideration this person, who is likely to have one or two habits called monotora, will offer.

"Yes, I'll tell you about it... for our part, I promise you your mother's treatment."

The content that was spoken of. Unexpectedly, Lenore couldn't help but complain about the flat man's attitude.

"... no..."

Words such as showing weakness in such suspicious handling.Even if you know it in your head, you can't control the agitation that the world tilts towards.

Mother who forgot everything. There is no prospect of recovery so far.Even the doctor at the royal palace affirmed that symptom.

"... I'm sorry.... if you're not serious, that's it."

Lenore tried to close the door unilaterally, but the monotrolley stuck its toes in the gap and stopped it.Gun, blunt vibrations echo.

"... what are you doing?"

"Hey, it's not too late to look at it, is it?We have that kind of power. "

Declarations and manifestations were simultaneous.

A thin sword shining from Monotra's right hand stretches with a stiff abnormal sound that I've never heard before.



Its overly elaborate lines are dazzling flashes.

Lightning or light attributes?

It looks like a Daigos thunderbolt stick, but something is definitely different.

Turning his back, Lenore grabbed the front door and used it as a shield.

However,

……

The lowered light sword lightly devoured the hard doorplate.

"... ku!"

Easy to cut.

Spread the fledgling Lenore hair slightly.The right half of the neatly divided door fell indoors and made a loud bang.

The cold wind outside is blowing in here.

"... are you surprised ~? This is not my divine casting spell" Oracle "...Sealed surgical instrument, easy to use "

As the man said, Lenore doubted his ears.

Impossible. A sealing tool is a substitute for increasing convenience by adding the power of Oracle to an existing object.Most of them refer to convenient tools that help with everyday life, such as thermostats and indestructible lanterns.

I've never heard of a blade of light that is so sharp.

At the very least, it goes beyond the scope of the sealing instruments known to Lenore.

"Impossible... that's what I think. But at the same time, a good former court chanter (Mage) would have noticed.This man is not a chanter [Mage]... he's just an amateur.Such amateurs can't handle this kind of trick. "

It is a point that I have read in my mind.

The fact is, you were right. It's a monster with a strange light sword, but the movement itself is naive.Stepping in and swinging your arms are cluttered.Obviously, it wasn't the one who put himself in the fight.Therefore, we were able to avoid aggression in time.

"Yeah, I'm just a merchant.Unlike you, the so-called ungrateful.At best, what you can do with the spell of God "Oracle" is to light firewood...If it's moisture, it won't melt.I'll be born weak. "

a lowly phrase.

That's why it stands out.

The heterogeneity of that specialty, which exerts so much power even when such a man swings.

"Oops... I didn't come here to fight."

The sword of light splashes from the man's hand.Looking closely, the finger was grasped with a thin black cylinder about ten centimeters long.

"It's easy to be aware of. So easy, this is the pattern of the sword... so easy.Freedom to put it out or put it out, as you can see, there is no easy way to carry it. "

Smiling, Monotra put it in the sack of clothes.

……

Unbelievable. A weapon of that magnitude is so small...

"You just did it, didn't you?We have the technology to make this much stuff. "

"... I'm threatening you."

"There is no disillusionment. Indeed, Ashima has many other tools to hide.If the elephant is the opponent, he won't take a step later.But... you're no match for a leading court chanter (Mage).In this situation, the strong are yours.I can't afford to be in a threatening position.It's easy to "negotiate" until you're done. "

While saying that, I can only afford to put my hands up and smile at her face.

"Akira came to make a fair deal.If you're going to intimidate me and make me obey you, I'll bring such a scary and strong man in from the beginning.For example, if you're dealing with a bandit, it's easy to do it with all your might ~ "

It was the most plausible thing to say whether it had been done in the past.

"So, it's easy to get back to the story.I'm still offering you a price for Mr. Mertina's mediation.Besides treating your mother, "

And the "merchant" presented it.

"If I can get Meltina Snow to meet you, I'll pay you 15 million esquest."

…………

That's right, Lenore's eyes also peeled.

"Haha, you surprised me.Well, even the nobles of Badalnois can't afford not to move ~ "

Of course.

Ten million won the Ten Million Dollar Roar Banquet at the referee.The mysterious "Penta" arranged in Raindeer, Kinzel Granshua, has a sweepstakes of 13 million.

Consideration that even exceeds those amounts raised by the big countries.Too out-of-standard from the point of view of Badarnois, who is completely weak in power.

"I'm sure this will never happen again. Just a little introduction to your friends will cost you $15 million!Your mother is back! Your pleasure... it's easy for you, right? "

…………

Lenore did not return the word.

Of course, I wasn't dazzled by the money or my mother's treatment.

A man who easily presents an extrajudicial amount of 15 million esques, etc.Monotra has been using the word "we" since before.They belong to some sort of organization.How powerful is that?

That confidence that I can treat the memory loss for which the cause is unknown.How much knowledge and ability do you have?

Such a crowd looked at Mertina.

We can't just meet.

"... if I say no"

"It's easy to regret."

Make me laugh. What is a 'fair deal'?Monotra shows dark power.Threatening. With the prestige of the organization behind it.

"Whoa, don't get me wrong.If you refuse, we can't help it. We are.

Besides, the monotra eliminates the lowly smile that had floated so far.

"If you drink this suggestion, you won't have to see 'extra stuff'.Above all, isn't it easier to do better?Your mother's memory returns, and you get a lot of money.... but if you refuse, you won't get them.I'm sure it's easy to regret. It's already... "

"Even if you break the doctrine of Curienney, you don't want to choose suicide."

――――――

If you call it the difference in values, that's it.

Even if we were going to talk about it as a monotra.

It was Lenore, who had endured repeated harassment by his colleagues, but this phrase was unacceptable.

For believers, doctrine is absolute.

There is absolutely no way for me to choose such an end over Cuarenae's aversion to suicide.

The monotra is like letting go, "You will betray your God."There was nothing more insulting than this.

Lenore, who had been alert to the monotora and kept a certain distance, stood in his present position, walking gently.

"Oh, I'm going to have to take this conversation..."

Go home.

Eh, the thing leaks a lost voice between you and the tiger.

Lenore shouted angrily at the man with the face like eggplant.

"Come on, you naughty bastard."

It may have been the first time I was born.

It was the one who yelled at the opponent with such a loud mouth.I couldn't stop myself, and I ran like Edwin.

I don't suppose the monotora, which had a consistent and hostile attitude, was unexpected.

Such a violent rumor jumps out of the mouth of such an adult little girl.

After a while, the man left saying, "Your intentions are clear."He pretended to be calm, but Lenore didn't miss the blue muscles that floated in his temples.

(... well...)

We must inform Mertina first.Weird people are watching me.

However, she is often 'disconnected' with proprietary technology so as not to accept communication techniques.This is because if the communication ripple spreads in situations requiring extreme concentration, such as shooting from a long distance, it will get in the way.

Royal Palace officials often lamented that once Mertina went on mission, she couldn't get in touch...

Lenore's technology also prevents him from contacting an unknown person.Even if you're a servant and your best friend, you can't get in touch with her without breaking bones.

For the time being, as soon as the current work is done, Mertina plans to stop by this mansion.

It must have been the day after tomorrow.

I was going to have a restless time until she arrived.
