It was an unexpected person who headed home to Cordelia.

"I heard you, Cordelia! You've already had a rough time!!"

It was my aunt, Nilpama, who hugged Cordelia with no greetings at the meeting.

"Auntie..."

"Oh, is it beautiful again? I'm glad you're still growing up to be my proud niece. But thank you for your trouble."

"Oh, thank you"

Nilpama, who still has a clear voice, tells me that she looks fine without asking. Nilpama nodded satisfied with Cordelia's reply, but showed a little thought.

"But I can't believe I got caught up in that... so it's nice to have a kid who helped me, but as an aunt, I wish I'd picked you up sooner. - So if Cyrus' wedding doesn't end, it won't change."

"Welcome...?

What are you talking about? I haven't heard of any plans to go out in particular - I think Nilpama was blinking her eyes.

"Haven't you heard from Master Elvis?

"Um, what's my father?

"Um, if you haven't heard, you don't have a problem telling me. Right.... hey Cordelia. You, why don't you finish your training with me as an adult?

Cordelia turned her eyes round to such an abrupt offer.

The more detailed story was waiting for Elvis to come home, which meant that the three of us dined that night. And when the meal began, Nilpama asked with a deeper grin, against the faceless Elvis.

"Hey, Master Elvis. What do you mean you haven't spoken to Cordelia yet?

"It's not a rush."

"It's three months, three months. That doesn't mean we didn't have time to talk in the meantime, does it?

Cordelia wanted the voice to settle down first, even with a slightly thorny smile. Still, I can't actually say it because of the thought that I might extra oil the fire.

"This kid's sister was brilliant, too, but you remember how hard she struggled, right?

……

"Or do you want Cordelia to have a hard time, too?

……

Nilpama, who never showed signs of losing momentum, was still very angry. But Elvis didn't tell Cordelia because he worried about his life on unfamiliar land, Cordelia thinks.

But I guess that has nothing to do with Nilpama or anything like that.

No, I know you're asking me out because you're rather worried about Cordelia.

"Women's wars, not rushes, are a little different from men's. Unlike Wang Du, I can sell my face to my wife as I go to greet other lords. If this kid wants to compete with essential oils, I think it helps, and even if Elvis gets a little rounded up in the first place, he doesn't get along well."

……

"Dear Mr. Alouvese, are you listening?

"... I hear you"

From that reaction, I guess Elvis also agrees with the idea itself.

"Cordelia, do as you please."

Eventually the answer given by Elvis in a somewhat troublesome tone was that one word.

But it's too sudden to say I'll leave it to you, and I haven't heard anything detailed yet in the first place.

"Um... how long can I interrupt you?

"I don't care if you stay the whole time......" Don't be so glamorous, Master Elvis. Well, I think we should celebrate adulthood here, so maybe in the meantime?

That period was longer than Cordelia had imagined.

You'd expect Cordelia to be confused, Nilpama continued her words.

"I think Cordelia has a lot going on, so I think it's hard to get an instant answer. But if you think positively, I think you'll get some good results."

I think Nilpama's words are the best.

I always find what I learned from Elvis and what I learned from my tutor helpful too, but I don't see my mistress as a role model in the Pameladia family. Two years after I sent flowers to my mother, I've never been pushed back, but I still don't exchange words. Sometimes the fold I've been going to the territory for a while has been prompted by flowers... so far I haven't been able to stand on the table stage.

(Without an example, I can also understand that your sister had a hard time in her first social life)

I also know that it can be difficult to match knowledge with actual situations, although it may be easy to just practice what you have remembered, what a word to clean up.

……

Then the answer is settled.

"Auntie, may I ask for your guidance?

This is a great invitation.

It's not like I don't even have the option of spending two years in the King's Capital worrying about Sherry. Shelley may continue to dream fortunes, but even adults shouldn't be on the table or in a social setting.

(Between the kids, I'm more knowledgeable than Shelly. Even if they line up the obvious lies, they'll probably still be fine)

Rather worrying is after adulthood, when you step into a dignified adult society.

It's not surprising to be lined up with strange rumors, but if you can behave like no one is going to complain about it, even if that happens, you can be one of the means to put the problem away.

(I'm sorry to hear the rumors, young lady, that you're bothering the prince. In the first place, I'm trying to stay away)

To be honest, I can't imagine her and Sylvester working out for Cordelia at the moment. So like Cordelia in the game, I don't think it's going to happen to get Sylvester and Shelley's passion to recruit jealousy and activate magic.... Most of all, I have to fall in love with Sylvester because of my jealousy, but it's the subject of instinctive fear that hasn't led me to admire it.

Still, I don't want Shelly to tell me what I don't understand.

(If there is no such thing as a troublemaker, it will annoy my family. Besides, that's not all - it could make it harder for me to get married in the future...!

Yes - I still want to go through something called love.

At least I don't have the experience of something called love in my memory, so I want to go through it.

I can't rule out the possibility that Shelley will stick around even as I try to avoid the Prince and Shelley as I am, even though I think that as an adult I will expand my chances of meeting them. I think from the bottom of my heart that I would like you to stay away from me because I'm not interested at all, but as things stand, that's a thin expectation.

In a different way than originally anticipated, Sherry is a dangerous opponent by taking it to Cordelia.

Now it's a range of bullshit, but whether you can believe it or not, there's no chance you can get dressed in wet clothes if you're willing to heat it up and fit the prince in. As it stands, sooner or later, there may also be a need to settle for each other - but we should also be empowered for that time.

However, Cordelia would like to proceed as calmly as possible.

"This is the one you're inviting, of course. But can I make up my mind already?

"We may prepare a little, so we would like to give you some time. Is it okay for a month or so?"

"Oh, yeah. It's okay. But shall we spare some more time and make it a full moon? But I'm looking forward to seeing Cordelia."

Nilpama's anger had disappeared somewhere earlier because she would keep the room in order. Rather, the voice was playing.

"Don't you shut up, Master Elvis, and don't you have any words of encouragement to send out?

"... you're not going yet"

"Well, you can say it as many times as you want."

Still, Nilpama's pleasant voice was not hidden.

Being so adored is very gratifying to Cordelia. Elvis accidentally opened his mouth as he was recommending a meal while listening to the territory from Nilpama.

"There's one story from me, too. with marriage. Cyrus retires from the Knights and lives for a while in Eldiga"

"Oh, suddenly... maybe not. So you're learning a lot from the proxy Sieg."

It would have been my first ear as well, but unlike Cordelia, I didn't look surprised against Nilpama. Cordelia didn't know, but I guess it's something that's been decided for a long time.

"... the deputy captain of the Kingsguard 1st unit seems to be taken over by the deputy captain of the 2nd unit"

"Oh, so the second unit succeeds..."

"Oh, it's Ishma. He also talked to the successor to the first unit, but first he seemed to calm down that the unit he was used to would be better off."

Nilpama also made a slightly unexpected voice about it.

"Heard… doesn't mean Elvis or Cyrus guessed"

"There is no need for me to speak to the military now. Cyrus didn't disagree either, but he didn't seem to have guessed. I acknowledge my strength, but I am well aware that even if I am capable, I am troubled by what I consider to be a hereditary attack"

Could it have been about this that the brothers used to talk to each other?

Either way, it will definitely be the season when there will be major changes in the Pameladia family.

"But if Cyrus disappears and Cordelia comes this way, we'll miss you a little."

"I'll be right back"

Nilpama shrugged her shoulders to Elvis, who opened her mouth without going in for a while.

"Cordelia's a tough dowry."

"It's still early."

"Or come to us to get a son-in-law?

"That's the same thing"

"It's the only thing that reacts quickly."

Elvis remained consistently faceless, but Nilpama had totally enjoyed it.

"And so if I calm down somewhat, for a while I will be heading to Weltrian territory"

Then a few days later, Cordelia briefly explained the situation to Vernault, who was coming to the mansion, and he was a little surprised while drinking tea.

"Suddenly. No, I guess it's not sudden if the Count was listening... that's what you're gonna miss."

"Oh, spare me goodbye?

"Oh, I can't wait to spare the zach torte I ate today when I'm going to be unable to eat it for a while. So I'm gonna need another slice."

If I thought a snug statement was uncommon, I still had to say it was that way. It may not be a mistake to think that all such words from Vernor have a back.

"You don't have to worry about mobile libraries. Just take over, and I'll assign you a proper role."

"Thank you. When the one who said it falls out, I can feel it."

"You don't have a problem with it because you're in a state where it's okay to lose anyone because of someone."

"It's an honor to compliment you"

Returning that, Vernault shrugged his shoulder as he began to get his hands on the second slice of cake.

"Speaking of which, I hear Miss Clyde Rayne is a little uncomfortable."

"Master Clive told you."

'Cause you were unusually pissed off besides me.'

Cordelia had to shrug her shoulders this time to say such Vernault things.

"... please give us a few more clives"

"I'll do it right. No, I do."

"I didn't."

"Well, I'll get in touch with you if you need anything, but so far you seem in the middle of looking for a good tutor.... It would be a completely different matter, but can't we take up time for a day apart from taking over before we leave?

"Huh? Yeah, I can, though."

"Then let's also call Jill and dare even with the patience of the name of the grand party. Of course Dili can take Ronnie."

Cordelia laughed at that grand proclamation. Isn't that a total unwillingness to sneak? But Cordelia nodded with a smile.

"Thank you. I'm glad you're celebrating the doorstep."

Vernault hoisted the edge of his mouth to that cordelia's answer.

And when I refrained from traveling the following month and was ready to take over and travel of all kinds, the carriage picking me up from the Frantheim family came to Cordelia. The carriage was ridden by Vernor and Jill.

I didn't hear where I was going by saying it was fun of the day, but if it's about patience, I guess it's going to be a castle town... etc., but when I realize it, I'm out of the castle wall.

"... are we going to Oulu as well?

"Well, it's a pleasure to follow."

From that good point of view, it seems that the destination is not Oulu.

"If it's just a tip, let's just say Jill just picked it out"

"Oh, Lord Jill."

……

I have Vernault and Jill sitting face-to-face because I have Ronnie, but Jill is quiet today and I just look out the window.

"Jill, if you're worried about me now, it won't change the place, so calm down."

"Beh, I'm not worried about that..."

"Damn. Don't tell me you're feeling sick or drunk because you're nervous."

Jill looked out the window again, not objecting to Vernor shrugging his shoulders.

Jill has less mouth today than usual. Cordelia thinks it would be very nice to see where it came from if you were thinking so much about it.

"If Jill chose you, you can rest assured."

"Dili, that's the pressure."

Rude.

But Jill, who should do that Judge, kept looking outside, so I couldn't peek from Cordelia to see how she felt.

(but...... then I better not look out the window until I arrive)

This is where Jill thought about it.

I'm sure it's better not to see it until we get there, because even surprises are supposed to get bigger.

While Jill was looking out that way, Cordelia and Vernault were having a tedious conversation. In time some time passed, when the carriage slowly stopped, Vernault and Jill got off first, and Cordelia slowly stepped down to the ground.

The place was a meadow with colorful flowers blooming.

Some of the flower colors were pale, but some of the primary colors were mixed and very gorgeous.

"Wow."

The back length of the stem was about the height of the fingertips from the twist, and the flowers were Yaesuki. A fluffy scent tickled my nostrils from the small wheel of flowers as I turned away and approached the flowers, wondering. If you look closely, by the way, there's also a mixture of really small flowers like cashmere.

"You like it?

"Yeah, very, very nice view"

I guess there's also a river flowing nearby from the slight sound of water being heard.

It was a very peaceful place, where I could also hear the little birds chirping from time to time.

"I never heard you talking about this area. I thought maybe."

"Thank you"

"Jill, Dilly. Take a proper stroll. I'm taking a break."

Vernault laid down his hips in the shade while being so good. The breeze is nice, so the place would certainly have a good nap.

"… but what do you mean by a break just coming, Master Vernault? And it's only before lunch."

"I don't have enough sleep, I think I can sleep here a lot. Yeah, but don't worry, stay as far as you can see."

As far as I can see if I'm asleep, I don't know what it is, but I don't think it matters, but does it mean that you just take it personally because I'm not interested? But even though I'm not interested, I appreciate you bringing me this far with Jill and all that time you're devoting me.

"So, Master Jill, may I walk a little?

"Yes."

"Ronnie is..."

"I'm here too. No sign of demons, but stay within sight."

Even if we do act together, Ronnie will have a hard time participating in the conversation. It's not a bad idea to have a break here for a while.

"You feel good. It's a pretty good place to be in this shade."

……

(No, Master Vernor. Ronnie won't be at ease next to it)

There are other trees moderately far away, and I don't have to limit myself to this tree, but in any case, it's a hard story to say no to Ronnie. On the other hand, I wonder if I should come back early for Ronnie, and because of this, I also want to enjoy it until I'm satisfied.

(Ronnie, I'm sorry. Just wait a minute)

Even Ronnie would listen to that much selfishness.

Walking along the meadow with Jill, the place also caught sight of a single blooming flower.

"What a flower this is"

"It's a flower called Lug. To study, to martial arts, to be a amulet. There are times when travelers were protected, when both wisdom and martial arts were protected."

"So here I am...?

Tilting her neck slightly, Jill laughed lightly.

"It's a take-away from my mother. My mother often uses the flowers here for pushing flowers, but is it because of the magic of this land that she grows, and it seems difficult to grow them successfully even when transplanted? That's why I thought you'd never even seen Dili."

"Thank you"

After all, there is no mistake where Jill chooses. Cordelia has recognised that.

"It's such a lovely flower, I know exactly what Jill's mother wants. It would be nice to have a transplant."

"Yeah. But I don't think my mother's going to really transplant it either. Because if you succeed, you'll have no reason to come here."

"Surely this place is very peaceful, and you want to come back"

It's a really peaceful place that makes me want to stretch my back a bit.

I think it would be a beautiful flower even if viewed in the garden, but since it is here, it can also be assumed that it looks extra beautiful.

"Well, let's not tell you where it is"

"Huh?"

Instead of teaching?

Cordelia tilted her neck to a rare and slightly mean word. Jill was laughing.

"Let me know when you get back to King's Capital. Then I'll show you around again."

I rounded my eyes to Jill's words, and then Cordelia laughed small.

"... Aren't you a little surprised already"

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize, I won't hesitate to ask for guidance"

"Bye, promise. I knew you'd miss Dili for a while."

Cordelia's reaction was delayed for a moment, unlike what Vernor said the other day. I know you purely think so, but I couldn't find a word right away to respond to it. On the other hand, I'm happy to have you spare me as a friend, and I'm ashamed to take the straight word for it. But if you don't answer something, the silence may continue.

"I come back to be a fine, very fine lady. So be surprised."

"I think Dili is a good enough lady, but if that's what you want, let's just say I encourage her not to lose, too. I hear the climate here and there is a little different, so watch your health."

"Yes, and Master Jill.... Dear Jill, what's wrong?

For some reason Jill said something. I felt like I was doing so, Cordelia asked.

But Jill shook her neck lightly to the side after remaining silent for a while.

"No, it's nothing. The flowers here are beautiful for cutting flowers, and they easily become dry flowers. So let's pick some flowers that look good on Dili before we go home"

"Yes, thank you. Now we have to look at the flowers."

"Right. Because I still have plenty of time, and I'm bringing lunch. Frantheim's ham sandwich is delicious."

"Well, that's exciting"

I'm sure there's something about 'nothing' Jill said.

But if Jill doesn't want to say it, I guess it's not something he's forced to listen to.

"Really, don't push me. But I hope Dili's purpose can be fulfilled."

"Thank you"

I have friends who support me.

Let's hit everything we can in front of us, yes, Cordelia had a full grin with determination.
