Carlisle sighed as he watched Alberto and Laura leave the door.

"... I don't want to do anything that makes me hate myself..."

Send an out-of-the-box girl to the battlefield with a sense of responsibility for her hometown.

Really sucks.

"- How could Dr. Carlisle send Laura to the battlefield until she fell into self-loathing?

Philbs, who was still in the room, asks.

"It's for Alberto."

"Alberto?"

"I think Alberto is like a kite with a broken thread."

"What do you mean?

"He has no clear will or feelings for himself. Flushed by the wind - I got here now as it flowed. So here he is. That's all. I don't know how long I'll be here."

"Ma... don't be like that, he"

"It will be Laura who is connecting and guiding him away from the floating world. If you're going to kite Alberto, Laura is a yarn. You'd better have her to steer Alberto in the right direction."

"I see..."

Kukuku and Philbs laugh.

"For that, that's all, you send fifteen - still immature girls to the battlefield, even as mages? That's a bad one!

"That's why I told you. He said he hated himself."

Again Carlisle sighed.

This is all massive - I don't even want to send a girl out to a battle where she could lose.

But our hero is not awake yet.

It takes more than just Laura.

"But well... it's not a bad story for Laura either."

Philbs connects the story that way.

"There's something about the village - Laura has talent. He/she is also uplifted. If you want to brush your arms, you're on the battlefield. We just need you to get back safely. It'll be a fortune."

"Sometimes that makes me uncomfortable..."

That's what Carlisle puts his hand on his forehead.

"Awareness?"

"Laura has talent. That's a lot of stuff, too. Shall I tell you an interesting story, Philbs?

"What. Just say it."

"The kingdom uses heavily the gray-haired talent that leaves Laura's village. So we have a certain record of magicians from the village for a long time."

"Ho."

"When you untie it - Laura's hair is overwhelming in history."

"Um, bright white hair like snow"

"Yes. It's like the Witch of Disaster is back."

The gray-haired talent that emerges in that village is on record as having such a strong magical power that the hair is white.

Laura's potential with the same bright white hair as the Witch of Disaster...

Philbs laughed heavily.

"Too much thought, Carlisle! Sorry, but Laura has a good personality and an excellent attitude to study! You can't be like a tragic witch!

"Oh, I'm looking forward to that future, too."

A presence to guide a hero turns into a disaster.

Carlisle doesn't want such a black joke.

But Carlisle knows. That people's personality, their lives, their destinies, will change in just a few things.

That Philbs' denial would become a reality.

Carlisle hoped so from the bottom of his heart.

"Get in."

Immediately after his father's words, Arrangea entered the office.

My father, the head of the Luminous family, sits on the other side of the big executive desk. Arrangea stood before it.

"I'm here to say hello to your resignation, Father. Arrangea Luminous, we will depart tomorrow in accordance with the royal decree."

My father nodded loudly.

"Bring it to fruition, Arrangea. The king expects you, too. That's why I appointed you general. Be sure to wipe out the lizards."

"I'll take care of it"

Arrangea chews with a face without a scratch of sadness.

It's impossible to fail, I only see light in my own future - it was a face that only invisible humans could do.

My father was right, Arrangea was supposed to direct the Lizardman hunt.

The kingdom formed a large army to crush the settlement.

Though the Marquis' pattern, it is not at the level led by just two or five years old.

Nonetheless, the king entrusted it to Arrangea. In anticipation of Kirinko's talent, which continues to raise her reputation after graduating from prestigious school at the head.

The message from the King is clear.

- Success. No one can complain about you with this success. Let's leave it to the country's top positions in the future.

At the end of this mission, Arrangea will be winged even bigger.

Of course, my father, the Lord, knows that.

"- I officially announce the inheritance at the same time as your triumph. Of course, it's you, Arrangea. Bring victory and glory to the Luminous family by hand."

The big party I had a while ago was to make known the great promotion of my son Arrangea by the King, and at the same time to acquiesce in his insistence on the Lord of the Luminous family.

And...

The next one will be published aloud with the glorious success of everyone flattering.

That would boost the - Arrangement's fame - of the Luminous family everywhere.

Let the nobles know where the home will be at the heart of the next era.

Arrangea grinned with a grin.

"Thank you. I will do my duty to help you meet your father's feelings."

And then he turns his back and tries to leave the room.

Arrangea didn't even think she was going to fail.

Because I've never failed in my life.

It's as if that blurry brother is carrying all the failures of Arrangea for me.

(Oh... was that worth being born to too...)

Arrangea remembered her dumb brother who would never see her again and rolled a dark laugh in her mouth.
