The dazzle of the morning sun woke me up.

With that said, you fell asleep as soon as you got back to the cabin yesterday. Looks like you've been tired.

I got out of bed and sighed small.

I didn't get to see Uncle Will after all... and I wonder when the hell all the problems will be solved.

I'm kind of heavy headed...... Shall I wave my sword?

I went outside the cabin with my sword grabbed and my body stretched up.

"Alicia?"

I heard a familiar voice. I turned my eyes to those who could hear me.

... I know Jill woke up before me and he's outside. And I can also see that you have Brother Henri there.

The question is, how can you have him?

I know it's no surprise you're here... but it's weird as a member.

"Long time no see."

That's what Mr. Paul smiled at me for.

Even though you're a healing Paul, you look belly-black for some reason when you're with Jill and Brother Henri.

"You're so beautiful, Alicia.... eyes, okay?

That's what Mr. Paul said, pointing lightly at his left eye.

It's been a long time since I've seen you. It feels like I've always seen you for some reason. You're a nature that can blend in anywhere.

"Yeah, I'm fine.... Why is Mr. Paul here?

To my question, Brother Henri looked a little troubled.

Could Paul have done anything other than work at a botanist? Even though he's noble, he didn't have anything to set up except the owner of the plant shop. There's just so much more mystery going on these days, you never solve it.

Speaking of which, I guess I've already met Liz...... Liz must be quite fond of Paul. Yeah, I've got a pile to ask.

"... When did Jill and Mr. Paul get to know each other?

When I said that, Jill laughed small. He's like a boy with a mischief.

"Henri introduced me."

"When did we get along so well?"

"Alicia will listen to Paul more than that."

"Before I do, I want to ask Mr. Paul something."

"What?

Mr Paul said so with a refreshing smile at me.

It's too refreshing and suspicious the other way around.... I didn't think of that before.

"Have you ever met Mr. Liz?

"Oh, I do."

That's what Mr. Paul said when he opened his eyes a little that he could see through his glasses.

"What's your first impression of her?

"... she's cute and I think she's a good girl"

That's what Mr. Paul said with a slightly strange look on his face.

... I know what it's like to have that look on your face. Suddenly, things are expanding like listening to circumstances.

"Ali, Paul's giving us information."

Henri, that's what your brother said to block my question.

"Information?"

"Yes."

That's what Brother Henri said and nodded.

Is the informant... a side business? Or maybe a botanist is a side business.

"Jill heard what was happening in the school from Brother Henri, Paul heard what was happening in town, and he went to a poor village on his own feet and had all the information he needed."

When I said that, Jill proudly lifted her mouth lightly.

... what a child. It's out of my control. That's a great word.

Well, of course, there's nothing to compliment in your voice.

"A poor village?

Mr. Paul is eye-opening and hardening.

... Yes, the people around me knew I was going to a poor village, so I talked to them at that rate.

I wonder if Paul knows that Jill is from a poor village.

"Once upon a time, Paul used Josaia to cure Jill's illness."

"Huh?"

Jill raised her voice, not Mr. Paul, to my words.

Oh, yeah, well, Jill cured his illness, too, something he didn't know was Paul's store herb.

It's kind of like a dodgy success over a few years.

"Looks like we've been connected since then."

That's what Mr. Paul put on his usual healing smile.

I prefer Paul's smile to Liz's in the same healing system.

"I'm surprised the five-noble lady was going to a poor village."

"Yeah, that surprises me a lot. I'm used to it."

Mr. Paul smiled bitterly at my words.

"Jill... you're a poor village boy"

Mr. Paul said that quietly, staring at Jill.
