"Ha, I'm so tired..."

Immediately after the joint recital ceremony and returning to the room I had taken to the nearest inn, I dropped my hips in the chair to exhale the fatigue accumulated in my body and mind.

I think it was a really full time.

But the quality of the time I sent and the degree of fatigue is a different matter, and fatigue, no matter how great the experience, can be.

And even after the ceremony, I was to take one question after another from the other new knights, and it was a struggle to respond there.

Let's get some rest in this inn for a while, finish cleaning up after, and then we'll go see everyone.

No. Before that, would it be first to rendezvous with Garnett here as promised?

Being lenient with that in mind, an innkeeper knocked on the door and talked to me.

"Excuse me for the indulgence. You see the Knights better, may I let you through?"

"... which Knights are you from?

Has Garnet arrived?

That's what I thought at first, but I immediately reconsider 'No, you're not'.

As was not confirmed when Garnett arrived before the ceremony, any senior Knights associate should be put through immediately.

From the inn's response, I can assure you it's not Garnett, at least.

"I am from the Knights of Purple."

The response was unexpected - no, the possibility itself could have been assumed.

If that young man is who he imagined he would be, it's not strange to see me take the stage and think the same thing about me.

"... please, let me in"

"I'm in awe"

After a while, the door opens and, as expected, the young man in courtesy - Mark Easton of the Purple Knights - enters the room.

Short dark hair. Tall back length not so different from mine.

I had to say that I didn't see it well, but I'm not born with those eyes, I feel like the result of my inner negative emotions seeping out.

Anger, dissatisfaction, or look down...... I've tried to find the source of Mark Easton's emotions, but I'm not going to be able to figure out why.

... No, if this young man really is the mark I know, I'm aware of why I can look at him like this.

"Long time no see, Lord (...) Cavalier (...) Regiment (...) Chief (...)"

"You've got more room... than I thought."

This is how we actually exchange words across the street to be sure.

Again, this young man is my brother, Mark of the White Wolf Forest.

The last time I looked at Mark was fifteen years ago.

It was the last time Mark hung up with 'See you Tomorrow' as he headed to bed the night he left his hometown pushing off his parents' opposition.

Mark wasn't even ten years old then, and now he's twenty-three or twenty-four?

Around my age I can't even make an immediate affirmation, I am truly a loser as a brother.

"It must be natural to have room. How many years do you think it's been since then?"

A polite tribute is used to Mark's words, not because I'm his brother, but probably because he's supposed to carry the title of Knights Commander in a bend.

If I had been reunited as a third-rate adventurer until a year ago, I would have been absolutely horribly cursed.

The colour of anger seeped from behind the expression pretending to be calm was eloquently telling the story.

"I can't be optimistic that I'm 'all good if it turns out well'. How hard my father and mother have been..."

Naturally angry. Natural criticism.

I didn't think it would be convenient for me to just react to all the things that happened but I was able to get results.

"I have no words to give back. I'm pretty sure I've never been a rock before. But from now on..."

"Nothing will ever happen...!

The moment Mark frowned and tried to raze his voice, the door, which was closed on several faces, opened without any foretaste.

"Good for you! Lou......"

Is this exactly what you mean when time stops?

Garnett, who jumped in, was first stiff that he had an unexpected client, and then he looked at the client's face and mine over and over again, realizing that his face was similar and even stiffer.

Shortly after Mark was surprised by the sudden intruder, he lost his word by putting his figure in sight from the tip of his head to the toe of his shoe.

Did you realize the intruder was an Argentian housemaid, or did you just cease to admire the appearance until it was out of place?

Perhaps it is the former, if you normally think about it, but personally I just wanted to guess the latter.

"... Mr. Eek!

"Huh...!

I almost blew out too suddenly switching angles, and the laughter that's been refluxing from my lungs hurts my oral and nasal cavities.

But Mark said the first half of Garnett's remarks weren't so much in his head, he was just confused without touching the leopard weirdness.

"To, brother...... Lord Knights, is this lady...?

"Didn't your mother tell you? I should have gone to the village once to say hello."

"What, no way is that letter...! I didn't ask you! Only that you brought someone you plan to marry! I don't know where anyone is!

"I think it's quite a rumor in Wang Du."

"Until recently, I was training at a local leisure! I don't know any rumors about Wang Du!

The dangers can be taken from Mark's expression, and instead the colour of confusion, which would be close to the atmosphere of the vegetables, smears his face.

I see, it's a motherly failure.

I should have told you that A (...) L (...) Ma (...) is the son of a knight's house, but in writing a letter to Mark, the information around it must have fallen out.

If I tried to be a mother, it would have mattered that I had someone like that, and it wouldn't have been a big deal about what kind of family that child's home was.

When I often wondered how far I had explained it, Abigail appeared without sound from behind the garnet.

"This is Lord Alma Argentia, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Wings and the sister of Lord Carmine Argentia. Master Luke and I have a future engagement in mind."

"A, Argentia......!?

Mark deepened his consternation and confusion, alternating between me and Garnett.

I laughed back with no words and replaced it with a reply, and Garnett shyly missed her face.

"By the way, I saw you with the Purple Knights, but could you hurry up with Master Luke?"

"Yes... no, it doesn't have to be right now. Let me change the day again. Now, Knights Chief, please excuse us for today!

He left it somewhat quickly, and Mark jumped out of the room to run.
