"My father's wet clothes cleared and I was able to regain my territory. But right now, we have a number of problems."

says Alto, the thirteen-year-old new lord.

"Fortunately, there are some dependable ministers who have supported our family for such a long time, but as you can see, I'm only at this age. And the... unmasculine appearance goes hand in hand with unreliable sword arms, and some members of the clan have shown outright defiance."

Apparently, taking back territory doesn't make it an instant happy ending.

People like me don't get it. They have a lot of hard work.

I also have a territory, but I leave it all to others...

"In the meantime, there have been a number of stories about proposing to my sister. Sister Aria has always been popular. He was about the age and found his father not guilty, so of course."

Suddenly she said that, but Aria at the time asked back in a flat manner.

"So I mean, you want me to take one of those stories?

"That's my sister. Quick and helpful to guess."

Alto nodded,

"We need our sister's strength to cure this mess. So I can't be engaged to this one or anything. As a brother, it's painful, but I'm a lord now. The first thing you have to do is protect this territory."

And apparently, that was the totality of those on this occasion.

I don't know who the horse bones are. They're turning an intimidating glance at me.

Aria's mother also has a rugged look on her face... and this is worse than I expected.

There were no signs of admitting it or any other fine dust.

Yet somehow, Aria doesn't even show a bare gesture of being upset at all.

"Can I ask you one thing?

"What is it?"

"Do you know how all of a sudden, your father's stigma cleared up and he was able to return to his territory?

Alto nodded, "Of course."

"Something about a hero of God's sword who revealed that the real culprit was Prince Houzel and the former Marquis Risas-Regalia."

Hmm?

Fiora's the one who uncovered it, right?

Of course it's far-fetched when I say far-fetched...

With that doubt, Aria talked to me.

'No, I'm not. In the world, you're supposed to have been exposed. "

... Seriously.

"I haven't seen you yet, but I can't sleep with my feet turned to the hero"

"Right. By the way, that hero, do you know his name?

"Naturally. His Excellency Berlucas on the Bazaar Frontier... Anything that comes from civilians but has been given territory for stopping the invasion of the Beasts"

Aria heard the response satisfactorily and then told her again.

"Then again, I'll introduce you again. This is Lucas, the hero of the Divine Sword. My fiancée."

"" "I'm sorry. Ah!!

All of them have bowed their heads to the point where they are likely to stick to the floor.

"I didn't know you were that Lucas...! I don't know who the benefactor of the clan is, I've worked a great deal of disrespect, and I'm very sorry -"

"Yes, no, that's okay. Because I don't give a shit. So keep your head up."

I'm desperate to apologize. I rush to urge them to.

Well, look at me. You don't think I'm a hero.

I don't think so either.

"So would you say no?

"Also, of course!

I wondered what would happen for a while, but I was granted a light acknowledgement.

I mean, you could afford so much because you knew this was going to happen, Aria...

Then I wish you'd tell me so.

Alto seems to have thought the same thing,

"... but Sister Aria, if that's the case, let me know first... I've been better prepared to welcome you..."

"That's why. It would be an extra burden, wouldn't it? Besides, he's not a big fan."

"Really...... Nevertheless, I can't believe Sister Aria had such a relationship with Master Lucas..."

Then Aria started explaining to them everything from meeting me to the present.

"The impending Wyburn claw. I'm ready to die. Father, I'm sorry. I can't even regain my honor, and forgive my dog dying daughter here.... but it was then. All of a sudden, someone broke in before me. And the next moment, Wyburn's neck was flying."

"" "Whoa, that's the hero of the Divine Sword!

... No, you're not quite legged?

"That's what he said then. 'This encounter must be destined. I want to keep protecting you." "

I didn't say.

Absolutely not such a dialogue, I didn't say.

Besides, you don't have that right after we met.

I don't care what you think. Aren't you a bad old man?

"What a lovely encounter!

"Exactly destiny!

But we're all impressed.

Seriously.

Plus Aria's story goes to the time of the entrance exam.

"This is what he said to the man who came near me." Don't touch my woman. ""

That's why I didn't say it!

"And at last you wagered me against fifty men on your own. Just passive to a lot of people. Plus the opponent's cowardly maneuvers, to the disadvantage... While he was about to collapse again and again... but he ran out of fights. He was the last one standing."

Aria, isn't that the color of your foot anymore?

"" "Whoa, whoa!

"The man in the man! No, it's Han!

Yet together, I am so excited.

"... you've met some really nice people... Mother, I'm so glad..."

Aria's mother was wiping tears with a handkerchief.

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

A little......
