Magi Craft Meister

Karen Theoderic von Banners is the fourth daughter of the Marquis Theoderic family.

My father is Marquis Gaelen Theoderic von Eisen and my mother is Emma Theoderic von Rosie.

My father is alive, but my mother is in the other world.

At present, the Theoderic family does not have a male heir.

The eldest daughter, Shirley Theoderic von Maury, joined the alchemist Toa Eschenbach, after giving birth to her only daughter, Saki, this is also in the other world.

Each of the second and third daughters is married to a leading nobleman.

The Marquis is 54 this year. He had cirrhosis because he had been given arsenic for a long time and had a history of being treated by Elsa.

As a result, he was no longer physically fit beyond his age, and even if he was later accompanied, the birth of his successor was hopeless, and he was no longer willing to do so.

In other words, Karen is currently the only person in charge of the next generation of the Theoderic family.

Inevitably, Karen will take her son-in-law and let her inherit the Marquis...

"... I'm in trouble..."

The Karen has been troubled since morning.

The other day, my father gave me the life of Fritz Randall von Grosch.

The Randall family is sometimes familiar with Fritz and his sister, Elsa, whose territory is adjacent.

"Sure, Master Fritz must be an excellent soldier..."

Karen keeps worrying as she whines to herself.

"... I wonder if we can manage not to talk about this..."

Her father, Gaelen, would never admit it because he was a strict person, 'I don't feel comfortable', etc.

It was Karen who didn't have someone to talk to at these times.

"That's right!

I wrote that there was no one to talk to, but Karen reminded me that there was one candidate.

"Is anyone there? Get the carriage ready. I'm going out for a little while."

"Ma'am, where are you going?

It was Karen who responded to that voice as the chief samurai who was a little bad at it. Because it is a statute of children, they are cautioned to behave from time to time and that is depressing.

When I rang the chief samurai, he asked me where I was going, naturally.

I just have to be honest here, Karen noticed.

"It's a relative's place. Eschenbach Mansion"

"Saki's house, isn't it? Yes, sir."

The Eschenbach mansion is about half an hour by carriage, not nearly as far away, and most importantly, it has the great nickname of going to see Saki, the 'niece'.

A carriage was immediately available, accompanied by one escort and one maid of honor, and the carriage carrying Karen left the gate of the Theoderic family.

At the end of the summer, we go through a line of green trees that look a little tired. In the carriage Karen looked out worryingly.

And the carriage arrived at the Eschenbach residence.

"Well, I'm just gonna go. You have to wait in the carriage."

"Yes, ma'am"

Without complaining in particular, the samurai replied and the escort bowed her head silently.

As I rang the knocker on the front door, the door opened immediately.

"Welcome, Master Karen"

For Saki only, it's an automatic squire doll (automatic).

"Hello, Aal. Is Saki here?

"Yes, I'm here. Please come in."

"Well, then, I'll be your grandfather."

"Oh, Aunt Karen. This is unusual."

Saki, who came out near the front door, left Karen.

"Oh Saki, I told you not to do that 'aunt' thing, didn't I?

"Kufu, you did. I'm sorry."

He's laughing and apologizing, so he doesn't look a little done.

"Oh, well, fine."

Karen sipped the tea that Aal had brewed for her and sighed small.

"So, what's going on today?

In response to an inquiry from Saki, Karen recalled the purpose of her visit today.

"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you."

"That's unusual. I'll ask you if I can."

"Please."

And Karen explained, from her father, that she was in the process of having an affair with Fritz.

"... oh, I see. I don't think it's a bad idea if you look at it objectively, aunt...... is there any reason why Mr. Cullen doesn't like it?

"What..."

To a question from Saki, Karen dyes her cheeks a little and leans over.

"Oh, that?

In an unexpected reaction, Saki ate it.

"Uh... aunt? Maybe someone likes it...... or something?

I'll leave it to half-country and mouth it, Saki. But that seemed to poke at the core. Because Karen turned bright red and leaned down.

"... who the hell are you?

Saki who unintentionally asks. Karen answered with a small voice as she also caged her mouth.

"... Dear Godronas"

"Huh?"

Saki also remembers the aristocrats and military who were once the lords of this country.

"When it comes to Godronas... Godronas Bernzam von Narrado?

"Yes, it is."

He must have been the captain of the 1st Knights 2nd Platoon, Saki thought.

"I see. I don't know about him, but he doesn't seem to have any problems with his status or strength."

"Isn't it?

The question is how to convey Karen's thoughts to the Marquis and to Godronas himself.

"Oh, so what does Mr. Godronas say?

"Nothing."

"Huh?"

"... I don't think you know how I feel either"

"... Wow"

Saki wanted to hold her head when things got inconvenient.

What can you do to yourself that is negligible on that side in the first place and has nothing to do with the social world?

Keeping it that way, Karen smiled a little lonely.

"I'm not trying to get you to do anything. I was hoping you'd listen to me and give me some advice."

"Really..."

When they say that, I think I need to say something to you.

"Uh."

Thoughts don't come up with words. In the first place, Saki has little experience and low communication skills.

"Why don't you talk to Reinhardt or Elsa?

As a result, only pitiful words could be spoken.

"Ugh, yeah. If we're gonna talk, we have to pick people."

"Gu... Aunt Karen, that's terrible"

"Ugh, I'm kidding. Thanks for asking me about my stupidity. It's time."

"Don't worry about it."

I came to see how Saki was doing, saying that I couldn't stay long because it was before the building, and Karen quit the Eschenbach residence.

On my way home,

"Stop calling me 'aunt'."

Leave it at that.
