"I know, but not today." You're going for a walk, right? "

"I know, I just wanted to say a few words."

I don't know if it's true.

It's quite suspicious.

If I'd let you out, you'd have headed straight to the bedroom.

However, I don't really dislike it. I don't think I can help it. I love him as much as I did when I got married, and more than that.

Well, let's go to the courtyard.

Now that we have a decision to make, we will head for the courtyard.

For my part, I was thinking of a plan to hold a tea party alone after a short walk.

Actually, I made a few sweets for the international conference, but I still have some left. I wanted to spend a luxurious afternoon with it.

Explaining that, Friedo was glad to see his eyes shining.

"Eh, do you have Liddy's sweets?" I'm glad to hear that. I would have liked to eat with you anyway. "

"Me too. That's why I made a little bit more."

I am glad that my husband thought the same as he did.

Making sweets for an international conference was fun because I could test my strengths, but I wanted to enjoy it with Freed.

"I wish you'd said that."

"I thought I'd say it, but before that, Freed didn't say he wanted to hug me..."

When I stared at him, I was quickly diverted from my thoughts. Well, that's fine.

I'm not angry because I know you're happy.

Friendly hands, aiming for the courtyard. Freed shouted, "Ah."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Lydie. Just check with Alec first." I think it's okay, but just in case I have to work in a hurry. "

"Ah, that's right. Is that better? I see."

It is not good to neglect work, so I nod.

I thought I'd check it out, but it looks like Freed's headed straight to the office.

It was like a walk, and I thought I hadn't seen my brother's face lately, so I honestly arrived at him. Talking while walking is a place to go on your next date.

While telling you the details of the shop you want to go to, it's also good to go to the forest bathing occasionally. No, if you go to the famous flower garden or talk about it, you will arrive at your destination in no time.

The soldiers in front of the office recognized us and lowered their heads deeply. Open the door gently. Together with Fried, I stepped into the room.

- Huh?

In the office, there was not only my brother who was working, but also Zion for some reason. Standing in front of the desk.

Theon Nanaogi.

Wilhelm's military master and, more recently, his brother's right arm.

I often see Theon with his brother, so I don't think he's complaining about being in the office itself, but I didn't think he'd be here at this time. Besides, something is wrong.

Theon stared at me and Freed with a nervous look on his face. My brother, who seemed to be writing, had a troubled expression, but he looked at us and breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Brother?"

"Ah, thank goodness you came this way. I was just thinking about calling you just in case."

"Was there an urgent matter?"

The atmosphere of Fried turned into something crisp. But my brother shook his head to the side to deny it.

"No, I've never been so stuck at work." You must be tired too, and I don't mind if you take a break today, but...... Theon. "

While saying that, my brother turned to Zion. Freed frowned and called out to Zion.

"Zion? What's the matter, what's going on?"

Theon, who was called by his name, lowered his head deeply and opened his mouth apologetically.

"...... I apologize for the busy schedule. If you don't mind, could you please allow me some time? I want to talk to you both.”

Talk?

Yes.

Zion nodded with a stiff expression. My brother looks like a bitch.

"Well, it's been like this ever since I came to the room." No matter what kind of story I asked, I could only talk to you guys, and I was having a little trouble. "

"Can you talk to us?"

Sounds like it.

Listen to my brother and meet Fried.

I still feel like I can understand Freed, but I didn't know that either. Friedo seemed to agree with me and checked with Theon.

"And to Liddy?" It's not just for me, is it? "

Yes.

While affirming it, Theon bowed his head further.

"- I'm sorry, Alexei, but I'd like to ask you both if possible."

It was a pale tone, but I was confused by how it looked somewhere.

Looking at Freed, he called out his brother's name.

Alec, take it off.

My brother rose from the desk as he sighed. Get used to the kikikiki and shoulders.

"Wow, I got it."

I'm sorry.

"No, that's not a good thing for me to listen to, is it?" I'm taking a proper break, so when you're done talking, call me just in case. Uh, I'm going to Will's. "

"Will? Isn't Will working on the transfer gate right now?"

At this international conference, the transfer gate has been activated quite a few times. The Sorcery Division was deeply involved. A sorcerer who manages the transfer gate. I think Will is the mainstay of the maintenance now.

Did my brother think of it? He made a convincing face.

"Ah, I see. Then I can't help it." Then Cain...... is it Liddy's bodyguard? "

Yeah.

Cain's name came up, so I let him into the conversation. I know my brother likes Cain, but I think it's hard right now. Well, even Cain won't come out when he's invited.

My brother also seemed to know that and said without worrying about it.

"Don't worry about using your bodyguard to make time for me." Shut up, Glenn, let's go to the bathroom. "

Did you decide on the policy? My brother nodded and left the office.

I felt sorry for Glenn, but I wanted him to deal with my brother.

Is this all right?

Confirming his brother's departure, Freed asks Zion.

As Theon wanted, only me, Freed, and Theon were indoors. Zion nods. Seeing that, Fried sits on the long sofa in front of the desk. I also sit next to it. Freed said to the standing Theon.

"Let's listen to you." It is difficult to talk like this. Sit down, please. "

"Yes, excuse me."

Replying with a stiff expression, Theon sat down in front of us. When I look closely, I notice that his complexion looks terrible.

It's pale, and it looks like there's a neighborhood underneath.

"... you're not feeling well? Are you okay?"

I was worried and unexpectedly called out, but Theon denied it.

“Never mind, I'm just a little nervous.”

"That's right..."

Is it a good thing to clean up after nervousness? I thought so, but I felt a strong colour of rejection from his tone, and I squinted my mouth. I might want to get my requirements done quickly. Then you should listen to me quietly.

Theon looks at our faces. Although the expression was pale, it was serious, and it conveyed the appearance of being packed.

Freed was just as concerned about his unusual appearance as he was careless.

"Theon, Lydie told me that if you're not feeling well, you don't have to do it another day." If you can speak up, we'll take the time. "

Yes, shake your head vertically to give your consent. I'm not so busy, and you can come back at his convenience. I thought so, but he didn't nod to Friedo's words either.
