It was night and dinner time.

Being mentally tired, I pound my tongue at Finia's cooking and enjoy a conversation with the Cortinas without any other love.

I was aiming for a return to the stoic route, but this much fun would be tolerated.

"So Nicole eavesdropped on me and went straight to take down the Mountain Snake."

"Well! As always, Master Nicole has no alarm or gap."

"No, it was Michelle who suggested it. I didn't take the lead."

"That's how I blame people again. Besides, I'm in trouble because I'm really going to knock you down. I can't scold you."

"That sounds like Nicole again, too. I'm forced to push through the impotence."

It just came to my mouth to sneer at Finia.

I slam into the table like a groan and soak up the honeyed milk that put me in before I went to sleep.

"You don't have to be mad at Finia. Cortina scolded me enough already."

"Dear Nicole, that's not the point, is it? If this goes into Lord Lyell's ear..."

Where Finia clouded her mouth, she heard a knock on the front door.

This was followed by a cry that could be described as sad.

"Nicoluuuuuuuu!?

The voice sounds familiar regardless.

It's a voice I've heard scattered in my previous life, and I've heard quite a bit of it in this world. I don't have to tell you, it's Lyle screaming.

"Finia, do you know the adage that a shadow would say if you rumored?

"But Master Lyell is here once every three days... and it's a good time when it's not weird to come, isn't it?

Lyle and the others visited this house before the excursion. It hits just three days ago.

Finia's right, it's not weird that it's time to push, but what about this bad timing?

Since Maria is also burdened, visits due to metastatic magic are less frequent than before.

Still once every two or three days. Around making faces three times a week, Lyell and Maria are very serious.

It is proof that you can see that you are so loved. But I know kids would simply be happy, but I feel subtle because the contents are me.

Maxwell's mansion, which is designated as the destination for the transfer, would also be a remote factor that has reduced the number of times.

Transfer magic is not a very good thing to use, so I'm setting the destination to Maxwell's mansion.

I mean, every time these two fly in, Maxwell gets slapped up.

The two of them open the front door with a key and come in slightly.

The face was stained bright red with worry and anger.

"There you are. Mom, Dad"

"Welcome, Master Lyell. Dear Maria,"

"Hey, at least wait for the landlord to say no before you come in."

Welcome the two in the words of the Three Kinds. No, is Cortina's a little different?

Anyway, it was understandable that the two of them were angry - especially Maria. Probably overheard the backdrop of a mountain snake.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the ultimate proposition to get that spear out of the way.

"Nicole, front seat"

"What? Huh?

"Front Seat"

"... Yes"

Spearhead deviation failed without even being able to take the first step.

I follow Maria's sword screen without even a chance to argue. Maria is scared when this happens. That's already far more scary than Lyell.

If you're going to answer me, they'll stare at me like they see dirt. No, this is from a previous life.

"You defeated a mountain snake?

"Yeah."

"Just the kids?

"There was Ka-chan, too, wasn't there?

"Exclude me."

Do you treat Maria like an asshole? I feel sorry for you, too.

"You can't do anything dangerous! I was worried."

"But there were plenty of chances. It's Cortina's strategy, so it can't be..."

"Hey Nicole, don't get me involved!?

Cortina, who was bypassing Niyaniya, panicked greatly after her name suddenly popped up.

She is one of those people who learns about Maria's fears. You wouldn't want to get an extra hangover here.

But if it's death, it's all of us, Cortina. You're the one who leaked the plan.

"I'll keep a physical cage for Cortina later."

"Physical!?

"Spiritually."

"With a double!!

Cortina screaming of despair. But ignore it and Maria's sermon continues.

Rather, it is turning into a pitiful voice. This is tight.

"Hey, Nicole. We think we've done something terribly wrong to you. Your body is weak because you couldn't raise it in my milk at a very young age"

"That's just that I didn't drink..."

Yes, back then I was in a half-hanger strike-like state, reluctant to suck on Maria's chest.

That affected my childhood development and created the foundation for my frail physique.

But that's what I wanted, and Maria has no responsibility.

"How many times have you thought I should have forced you to drink, even if you didn't like it? But you couldn't do that to me for cuteness. As it turns out, you're very weak now."

"So that's not..."

"Fortunately, as you grow, so does your body. But it's the fruit of your own training, not ours."

"No, but..."

"Fine, Nicole. I failed once, so let me tell you something. Your body, so to speak, is close to a worn carriage. It's like connecting the best military horses."

Maria started describing my body analogously to a carriage.

The worn carriage is my body. The best military horse is the fruit of training with Lyell. That's how they wield me with excessive output, and eventually my body collapses.

I do have the potential to destroy my body from that impossibility all the time, proud of the serious combat power I have in my child.

"So at least I want you to keep me company until I grow up a little bit more. Please."

"Ugh, yeah......"

I have to put tears in my eyeballs and reply like this even if Maria says so to me.

I tend to forget, but this body belongs to me, as well as to Maria's daughter. In a way, not a single body.

I was reminded from the bottom of my heart that I would give her hard work.
