Returning to the village of Pharaoh, Rühl and the others look around the village in a slightly unusual way.

Although there was little resistance to returning from the forest to the nearest village after the acquittal, the effects of the curse were not so great, and I was still helping the blacksmith with Tiots.

Rather, the blacksmith's father, who had told him that he was going to take a few days off, worried about Rühl.

Tiots told me that this father was a distant relative of Lyul's mother, and Lyul was terribly surprised.

When he was introduced to his father in front of him, Rühl was surprised to see too much.

"I heard about it from Tetsu. I'm really glad you're safe."

"My father....."

"I'm sorry I kept quiet... but I couldn't tell you if something happened to you."

When Rühl told him to take a break to transfer to Temple, he thought the knights had come to the village to hide.

His muscular father, who was always yelling at him, was worried about Ryul and was in a bad mood.

When this place was discovered and something happened, even if something happened to them, he could not hide his complicated feelings when he heard that he was in strict contact with Lulu saying that he should not turn back because he was angry.

"I thought... I don't have any family anymore."

"... I thought you shouldn't say that, but your grandmother was born in this village. Just like me, distant relatives are in this village."

…………

"Feel free to stay here. But you can't go into the woods now. The animals are acting strange."

"Ah, that's...."

Thiots stopped trying to explain by accident.

Thiots is shaking his neck silently. I mean, don't talk about it.

"Thank you for your concern."

"Ah, eat at my house today. Ready?"

"Yes, yes."

Rühl couldn't hide his confusion at the attitude of his beloved father.

Rühl couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. Although his legs were moving on his way home, he was still stunned.

Thiots, who was lying beside me, lowered his head.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

"No, it's fine.... I'm surprised to learn that blood connections other than brothers were so close."

"The Lord asked me personally."

"Lorelei...."

"And yet, you've always accepted me as a blonde."

When Rühl asked a simple question, Thiots explained it to me.

"This village has a lot of ancestral returns. My father has blonde hair."

"Eh!?"

The blacksmith's father is a skinhead. When Lulu, who had never seen her hair grow, was terribly surprised, she said to herself, "It burns to my hair when I handle the fire."

"I see. Oh, yeah!

"What are you thinking?"

"Ah, no, I knew it...."

Looking at the mouthfeel of Rühl, he thought he had an evil idea.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Blonde hair is hard to live in this country. I was afraid of my surrounding eyes and thought maybe I was shaving deliberately. I was just a little blue and wondered whether I should shave myself, but I didn't realize that Thiots was mistaken.

I noticed that when Rühl exhaled a small sigh, I noticed that the feeling of relief that had fallen down to the shoulder load was spreading.

I'm not despised because I'm blonde. I was more than happy with that.

I think it's because I've been sharpening my tingling and nerves all the time, just like my surroundings stink lately.

I felt like laughing for the first time in a long time.

Now I can see Thiots' concern for stopping Rühl, who was trying to tell me what happened in the forest.

If my brother found out about Lulu's presence, the father would hurry to hide him.

"Am I glad I found out?"

"It's probably only a matter of time."

"... will my brother come after my neck?

I'm still worried that I can't wipe it.

I don't know what to do if I attack this village.

Something to protect, something important.

What is Duran doing with it now?

When I thought about doing such a thing around, Thiots raised his face twitchingly.

Looks like Laure told me something in a memento.

"Hmm, well...."

"Thiots, what's going on?

Rumors come true when I say it, but I wonder if Duran is really on his way here because he's found out where he is.

"... Master Ale..."

Ale?

Lorelei's sister told me that it was about that white cat, and when Lorelei was straight, she murmured, "When Alek-sama is in Helgner right now..."

"... I heard that Ale is the Spirit of the Church, but isn't it?

"I hear you've made a deal with the King of Helgner... and you're making a scene."

"What about it?"

Duran made a deal with Ale?

Lulu had no idea how that happened from the incident.

Laure came home in a big fight with Ale.

Why would my sister make a deal with Duran even though it's a straw country!

Lorelei was so angry that Rühl couldn't help laughing.

"That being said, the Lord will not approach Duran."

That's right......!

"Mr Ale wants to be assisted by Mr Duran while the Lord is away."

Why not!

Lorelei, whose anger did not subside, slipped between Rühl and Tiots, so-so she pacified Lorelei.

"My brother and Ale signed a contract... aren't you surprised by the people in this country? I don't know what to do."

"He identified himself as the Lord's sister and persuaded the people of the church."

"Why..."

I wondered if Ale was so obsessed with Duran, but it soon fell into my heart.

When she asked Ellen for forgiveness, Ale remembered crying that Duran had been distorted by her own fault.

"Guilt... what is it?

I'm sure it is.

"So the Spirit will make a deal?

"I won't. Essentially, when spirits contract with humans, their souls are attracted to each other."

I also heard that Thiots had a contract with Ryul's mother a long time ago.

Do you remember that time? Thiots also had a slightly distant eye.

Why not! I'm afraid my country will be taken over by the church! Somehow my sister forgave them in the church!

Lorelei was surprised to hear why she hated the church.

"Does Laure hate air?

Why all of a sudden! You don't hate your sister, who is a straw cracker! But this is not the same story!

With excitement, Lorelei lifted up a little as she turned her hair upside down.

"I think so."

What is it...?

"I think Ale made me and Laure spend time together."

What...?

"My older brother, who was acquitted by Ellen, couldn't get near Laure. In that case, there are only a few actions that can be taken by my brother. Take me back, leave me alone, or kill me."

Ha......

"Fortunately, there may be some abandonment because there is Kraha... but if we know that there are no spirits, the people will not shut up even though we have walked with the spirits. I want to know why, and I'll be stuck on top of my brother."

"That's true....."

He nodded mysteriously, as did Ryul.

"If you're going to bring Lorelei back, you're going to find me. However, it is difficult for Laure to come to the country without her older brother. Then... you'll have to kill me and give up the throne to Kraha."

Why not! Why are you interrupting Rühl?

To angry Lorelei, Lorelei stroked Lorelei's head to calm down.

"I thought you might have been the first to try not to do that."

"Master Ale...."

Sister? What are you talking about!? "

Laure was too surprised that Ale had signed a contract with Duran rather than with him, and he didn't think well.

Looking at Lorelei in confusion, Rühl turned cool.

"It is only natural, as a king, to try to reclaim Laure, which is also a symbol of the country. But Ellen, who anticipated it, pleaded guilty. I think my brother is blocked in all directions."

The screams of Duran, who told me that he had admired Lorelei in the woods, kept his ears shut.

Duran's sad voice shouted that Laure had not chosen him.

If Ale hadn't been looking for the original king's soul, that scream might have been herself.

"I know how your brother feels."

Lulu......?

"Because I think Lorelei loves her, I can understand my brother's feelings. I'm grateful for the kindness of Ale, who worried about my brother."

That said, when Rühl smiled at Laurel, Laurel realized that Duran was distorted because of herself, so she couldn't say anything more.

"Ale saved my brother."

"Is that so...?

"Otherwise, you can't make a contract. I don't really know."

Uncontracted Rühl doesn't know how it feels.

However, Tiots and Laure, who had signed a contract, had noticed something when they were pointed out.

But... but onee-sama is terrible! I took the liberty of telling the people that I came on their behalf because I was sick of straw and couldn't come out for a while!

"Ahahahaha!

Lulu! That's not funny!

That's good. By the way, if Ale keeps an eye on my brother, I'll be glad.

Well, why not!

"Laure was declared not to go to the country for a while, right? Then you can stay with me."

"............!

Lorelei suddenly became suspicious.

"Well, why... suddenly... do you want to be with me so badly?"

"Yeah, I want to have Laure all to myself."

Ugh!!

I don't know what the fur looks like, but Lorelei must be red, and Rühl interpreted it on his own.

Nah, what! Nothing!

He suddenly burst into flashes and saw Lorelei run away from her arm, laughing.

"Totally bad people."

Tiots smiled beside him.

Though Rühl was vague, he thought he would never get killed again.

Looking up at the clear sky, Rühl hoped that the end of Ale and Duran would be calm.
