Day four, when we started guarding the Earl's House.

When you reach this level, your body gets used to continuous protection day and night.

We didn't get used to shifts at first, and everyone seemed to be in trouble, but now we can feel the room for movement.

He was guarding the night while I was shifting between Leon and Lindbergh and Alice.

By combining people who know the perimeter of the Mansion with people who know the interior of the Mansion, we think we can handle both problems.

Dan is Michelle's personal escort, so he sleeps in front of the door at night.

She said she would help guard the evening, but she told me to concentrate on escorting Miss Michelle because of what happened.

Then, at noon on the fifth day, a carriage enters the Mansion.

After the gatekeeper stopped, he only had a light conversation with the carriage.I walked through the mansion.

As I watched from the courtyard, I called the man who was taking care of the garden nearby.

"I'm sorry, do you have any idea who that wagon is?

The servant man turned to the carriage at my word. [M]

"Ah, that wagon belongs to your brother, Master Brocken."

"I see, is it the brother of Count Gilbert, or is it strange for the doorman to go through with it honestly..."

"My husband should be managing the mine now."

"I'm sorry I stopped.Thank goodness. "

"Yes"

Now that I know who my visitors are, I wonder why Count Gilbert's brother came to the Mansion.

Because Count Gilbert is now heading to the mine where his visiting brother is entrusted.

Of course, it is highly probable that something is happening to the Count.

I left the guards to Leon temporarily and hurried back to Miss Michelle.

◇ ◇ ◇

As I hurried to her room, I saw Miss Michelle and Dan walking down the hall.

"Michelle, are you meeting with Brocken now?If so, may I accompany you?

"Yes, it is possible that there was something that your uncle asked your father.I'm calling Marcel the butler, so please come with me, Mr. Label. "

Miss Michelle also had a disturbing expression, but she didn't seem to be losing her coolness.

The reason the butler Marcel is calling is because he is going to listen to the opinions of adults who can be trusted by the content of the story.

I'll line up next to Dan and follow Miss Michelle walking in front.

Dan, Miss Michelle, you can protect her.

"Mr. Label, I know!Leave it to me. "

When I arrived in the room, Master Brocken was already sitting on the sofa.

And when she saw Miss Michelle, she opened her hand and spoke.

"It's been a long time, Michelle.How are you, buddy?

"Uncle Brocken, it's been a while."

"I think Michelle was surprised when I arrived, but it was really a big deal."

Brocken told Miss Michelle with a mysterious expression.

"Uncle, where's your father!?

Something seems to be wrong, as I expected.

Even though Miss Michelle was still a child and behaved very generously, when she heard that Count Gilbert was important, she stepped forward without realizing it.

"Actually... there was a riot during the meeting.Due to the noise from the miners to raise their wages this time, my brother and I had a discussion with the miners' representatives.The story broke apart and the miners broke out.As a result, my brother and I separated, but my brother told me to ask for Michelle at that time.That's why I want you to come with me.I'll protect you. "

That's what Brocken said with a sad expression.

And what about your father?

"I don't know exactly what happened after I detached.But my brother has a lot of adventurers on guard.That's why it's okay.There is also information that they are fleeing into the mine now.As soon as I get you back to the Mansion, I'm going to organize a rescue party to get my brother out. "

"I see. If uncle says so, I'm sure of it."

When Miss Michelle said so, she immediately gave instructions to her maid, Mary.

Mary leaves the room in preparation.

But I felt uncomfortable, so I decided to ask only one question.

"Dear Brocken, my name is Label, and I am entrusted with escorting Miss Michelle.I need to ask you one question. "

"Michelle's bodyguard... tell me what it is."

"How many days does it take from the mine to reach this Mansion?

"Yes, I can arrive and leave in about a day and a half by carriage.What the hell is that?

"No... Brocken broke up with Count Gilbard and said he was the first to pick up Michelle in this mansion."

"That's right. My brother asked me to.I did my duty. "

"I see. That's all from me."

After talking to me, Miss Michelle stood up to prepare.

"Uncle, please wait a moment.I'll leave as soon as I'm ready. "

"Okay. Then let me wait here, too."

Marcel! I'll leave you to your uncle until I'm ready. "

"Yes, sir."

Miss Michelle left the room and went straight to her room.

Me and Dan followed Miss Michelle.

◇ ◇ ◇

When Miss Michelle arrived in her room, Mary and some of her maids were in the room getting ready.

Mary, how long does it take to get ready?

"Michelle, I think we can leave in about an hour."

"Yes, I'm worried about your father. Hurry up."

"Yes, sir."

I'm sure Miss Michelle is worried about her father.

I feel more restless than usual.

"Michelle, can I have one?

"What?"

I spoke to Miss Michelle.

"Actually, there's one strange thing."

"Something funny?

"Yes, Master Brocken said that after breaking up with Count Gilbard, he followed Count Michelle's instructions to pick him up."

"That's what you said."

"But if I think about it normally, I have a little doubt."

"Question? What is that question?

"Yes, I know you're keeping Count Gilbard's word, but isn't it too late to organize a rescue party when we get back?Normally, while Master Brocken is on the scene and organizing a rescue team, the messenger should explain with a letter or something. "

……

After taking my word for it, I began to wonder if Miss Michelle was convinced.

Mary, what do you think?

Calling Mary at work, Miss Michelle tells her story.

"I also agree with Mr. Label.I think I'm going to do the same thing with Mr. Label.So I'm curious to say that we prioritized only one. "

"Yes... the label, so what do I do?

"That's right. We cannot judge whether what Master Brocken is saying is true or not.But it may be more doubtful that Count Gilbard is in trouble than the Tsujitsu do.I'll leave the decision to Michelle, but why don't you wait and see what Brocken does?

"So, what if your father is really in trouble?

"I know what Michelle says.Therefore, whatever decision you make, [Oratorio] will do its utmost to support Michelle. "

"What does Mary think?

"I agree with Mr. Label.How about a little bit of it?

"... I see.Let's stop today's departure.Please tell your uncle that I am sick and asleep after listening to what I just said.If your father is really in trouble, he will turn back and form a rescue team.If not... so what?

Michelle seems to be able to think calmly.

"I don't think it's a problem."

I lowered my head when I said so.

"Then I will tell Master Brocken immediately."

Mary went to Master Brocken's waiting room and told him that she was ill as per the plan.

What Brocken did afterwards was strange to say that he waited for Miss Michelle's condition to return after he sent a letter somewhere instructing him to save Count Gilbard.
