A fourth loop where he committed a heavy sin of horse thieving and escaped from the mansion. That's when I sprinkled Ines and ran away and met Serenia properly in this central building hallway.

It hasn't been that long since this loop started. Besides, the fact that Ines was detained should not have been conveyed to a flavor of enemies yet.

So Serenia's still safe.

Believe me, I tried to knock on the door.

"How can I help you Serenia?

"Huh?"

Suddenly there is a voice coming from the straight side.

Looking at you, there was a middle-aged samurai with a slightly surprising look slowly walking over from the back of the dim darkness to this one.

That. Until just now, it didn't seem like there were any signs of people...

"Yes, I'm here for you"

Answer that for now and try knocking again. But the samurai then entered between me and the door and still shook her head slowly.

"Ma'am. Serenia is already closed. If there's anything I can do for you, I'll ask."

... what the hell is this guy.

I come here and my vigilance swells up at the appearance of new figures.

Unexpectedly grip the bamboo I brought out of the room to use later.

"Are you Serenia's maid?

"Yes, my name is Amanda, and I'm a lady with Serenia's side."

Answer that, Amanda bows her head with a pepper.

There is no particular discomfort with the samurai herself, not with her waist, tone, or personality. There's no sudden attack, no hostility towards this one.

But.

—— There is not one enemy. They're probably lurking all over this mansion. At least, on Serenia's side and yours.

Mr. Risel's words are remembered.

Although we still don't know if all his words are true, his appearance at this time could be said to be too much of an element to heighten our vigilance towards Amanda.

Because when Serenia was attacked, this guy never showed up twice.

If you're a sided samurai, when something happened to Serenia, you're about to show up at her side first. For the second time, I screamed all over this hallway. And yet no help showed up.

Amanda feels like she's seen it all the time, she's a normal woman who seems to be everywhere, she's not very muscular, and she doesn't look very much like a fellow assassin. But if you're gonna say that, even Ines doesn't look like an assassin. Even Mr. Riselle's initial impression was just handsome.

It just looks like it, and it's not a good reason to get off guard.

While I retreated just a little and distanced myself from Amanda, I put my arms together with all the wife aura I could hold open.

"Then Amanda. I need to speak to Serenia. Would you step aside, please?

"I won't. Master Serenia looked very tired. Please forgive me tonight."

Ma'am, none of Aura's effects were there. Amanda also bounces off the majesty of this one and shakes her head again.

Well, though there may be no majesty or flattery in a newcomer pushing her into her sister-in-law's room at such a late hour.

If you keep pulling back, Serenia won't be tired. I didn't want to do anything that would make too much noise, but I had no choice.

I breathed heavily, trying to scream with all my strength ——

"Oh, sister-in-law"

"Serenia!

Before I showed off the shout I was good at, the door opened and Serenia turned up.

Unlike when I met her before, her blue eyes look sleepy and dull. Were you already in bed?

I pushed Amanda away and dragged Serenia through the gap in the door. And hide her luxurious body behind her own back. "Shah," a cute scream leaked out of Serenia's mouth.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what..."

"Serenia, you're safe!?

"Huh? Yeah. Um, why is your sister-in-law here? I'm not supposed to be with your brother."

"Because I don't care about that. Serenia, I need you to hang out with me for a second. Come with me now!

"Uh, I'm sorry. I woke up and didn't know what was going on... Amanda, what's this all about?

Over my back, Serenia asks the samurai with a troubled face.

There is a slight diminution in the perceived difference between rush and trust.

"Your wife said she wanted to talk to Serenia in person. Serenia has already taken the day off, so I asked her to refrain."

"At this hour, with me?

Serenia, I felt you staring at me.

Would it have seemed strange? New loop now. There is no more Serenia who once smiled at me and angered me for me.

For Serenia before, I was my sister-in-law wandering around the mansion late at night. But now I'm the sister-in-law who pushed me to my room in the middle of the night. The latter is slightly more annoying, although I also feel it is not very different in literal terms.

"... ok. I'll be with you."

"Dear Serenia!

I exhaled relieved and Amanda raised her voice a little angry.

Amanda whispers her novel in a tone that makes her desperate for a poorly heard child.

"Even though they've been busy preparing for the ceremony for the past week, I'll catch another cold when I stay up here late! If that happens, my husband will scold me."

"Even so, it's me and my sister-in-law who will scold me."

"Hey, sister-in-law," Serenia says, taking a step forward and turning her hand around my arm. Serenia's skin, slightly touched, is soft and warm.

"It'll be as good as today, Amanda. Because I'll be right back. If I told you I was with my sister-in-law that I was feeling a little ill, you wouldn't be so angry with your brother."

……

Amanda looks at me and Serenia with a flashing look.

I still looked back at Amanda so as not to relax the thread of tension.

"Serenia says this, too, and that's fine. Still got a problem with that?

……

A gaze that explores the sincerity of this one wears my face. In that gaze, I felt tingling and slight hostility mixed. Come on, if you're coming.

—— But Amanda won't be attacking me for long. After a while, she sighed so that she could say "ha".

"Okay. But stay up late, both of you."

... Is that it?

Amanda opens her head deeply to me clapping out.

"Ma'am, excuse me. But don't let Serenia-sama push you too hard."

"Ugh, yeah."

I nod normally.

"Well... come on, Serenia"

"Yes."

I grab Serenia's hand and head to the west wing to escape. I've looked back several times to avoid getting hit in the back, but Amanda doesn't move while standing in front of Serenia's room, and there's no way she's coming after us.

The suspicion was that Amanda would allow Serenia to escape.
