Whatever the case, the disposal of dangerous goods is a top priority.

My reunion with Retina was a delightful miscalculation too, but with this explosive by my side, I can't even calm down and talk.

Returning to the carriage at the foot, I was able to change my luggage and finally take a breather.

Fortunately, Stella, Spica and Elizabeth were also waiting on the spot without fleeing.

"So why was Retina being chased by the man at the mansion?

"That's, uh... what's more of Mr. Nicole's eye than that?

"Oh, this? I'm in a bit of a mess. Like fascination?"

Fascinating eyes that I inherited because of that white. If you do poorly, you have the power to even twist your will.

In the meantime, I am dealing with a demonic prop called an anti- ring... Speaking of which, I didn't give it to Retina. There must have been a spare.

"Yes, Retina. Take this."

I take the spare ring out of my nose and give it to Retina.

The ring of resistance has the nature of being unbearably damaged when subjected to a mental attack beyond performance. If you're an adventurer who can afford an asset, it was normal to have a spare as well.

"Thank you very much."

By the way, you can't have your left hand finger.

"I won't imitate that! So, who did?

Finia and Michelle get out of sight at the same time for Retina's words. No, Michelle, drive forward. Because it's dangerous.

"More than that, I'll get back to you, but why were you being chased?

"Ugh... you just can't deceive me forever. Fine. That's because I ran away."

"Running away from home!? I don't think it's a good word for a marquis to say in a detour..."

In the first place, the Marquis Yowi knows me well, too.

Its character has the strong impression that it is a person who is more nostalgic than lethargic.

Even when my daughter went on an adventurous hunt with us, she watched me with wide eyes, and when the great breeding of goblins occurred, she freed the garden to protect civilians and set up carriages.

I don't think he made an intact demand on his drowning only daughter.

"Something tells me I don't get an image. Talk about it in detail...... no, I guess not. I don't want to get caught up in your nobleman's mess."

"Nicole, it's cold. It's Letina's problem, isn't it? We're not irrelevant either."

"Guru... that's well, yeah how much"

Michelle from your desk is joining us for a conversation on the carrier.

Because I can't handle carriages, only Michelle can handle carriages.

I can handle Finia too, but now I can't let go because of the maintenance of the magic of extinguishing fire. There were also these reasons why the return journey would be tight.

That's why Michelle can't leave the table.

But he kept the front of the carrier's border open so we could talk to Retina, so we could have a conversation.

"That's right, Michelle, you know what I'm talking about."

"I'm not your best friend. - Absolutely!

"No, I think I'm a friend, too, don't I?

"Then we need to talk, we need to listen"

"Ugh, it looks scary after..."

The problem of nobility draws a lot later. It's a problem I don't want to get involved with if I can.

But Michelle also makes sense. Retina is my best friend and still one of us. Leaving her like that doesn't taste good either.

"Ha, okay. Why, will you tell me?

"That's Mr. Nicole! It goes back about three weeks."

"Hmm?"

Three weeks ago, we just arrived in Raum.

Did Retina not come to show her face because she was in trouble?

"I was summoned by your father to take an order for a proposal…"

"Orders? That warm marquis?

"Yep... matchmaking"

"No, no, no!?

No, I was surprised because I found out about Retina's character, but she's over fifteen years old, too. It's not strange when those stories come.

Given the position of Marquis, it wouldn't be strange to come sooner.

"But Retina's still fifteen, isn't she?

"Marquis's position... so I know that's what's coming. I was thinking about getting a conversation then too..."

According to Retina's story, the opponent is the son of the Duke's family in character.

They weren't that weird a combination of age and twenty, either. But there were also constant black rumors in its duke territory, and its reputation in the public could never be said to be good.

So I hired two pairs of adventurers, and they sent me to investigate, and all of that got out of the news.

Retina also said that she thought this was suspicious and tried to get her father to sue her directly and reconsider, and that she had been rejected as difficult to refuse due to strong demands from the other side?

So she ran into us when she was plotting to take the hard way out and make time to find out more.

"Wow, that's so dreary."

"But why does that duke want Retina so much for his daughter-in-law?

"Elf women seem to be a lot of convenience to humans. Anyway, she's still my daughter-in-law."

"Hmm?

"Many aristocrats treat women like ornaments. Even in this Raum, where there are many elf nobles, there is no denying that tendency. There's really nothing you can do..."

"Ugh..."

He seems to have a lot on his mind about men, Retina, but that criticism also resonates quite a bit with me as an ex-man.

Indeed, Raum has a high proportion of elves in the population, and among the nobles there are many elves.

In the meantime, the wife of an undamaged elf of color was being treated as a kind of status.

Retina's failure to get those stories before would be the result of the Marquis' hard work in shutting them out.

But in character, too, if the Duke's family, which has blood muscles to bring to the king, were also opponents, they couldn't just say no.

This is all because of the Marquis' hard work.

I also know how Retina feels, but smashing this up makes my father, the Marquis, in a bad position.

If we do poorly, we may also develop into problems related to the survival of the Marquis Yowi family.

"This isn't edge talk, to be honest, about just breaking it, is it?

"I understand that, too. That's why we tried to investigate the black rumors and the murders that spread throughout the Duke's territory."

"I see. If a scandal pops up at this time, it would be an excuse for the Marquis to turn down the fringe, too, huh?

"That's what I mean"

I see. I just wanted to say, it's still sweet.

Nobility, if it also becomes noble enough to be brought to the royal family, some scandal is easily erased.

Even if Retina personally grabbed something that seemed to be true, she would be lightly screwed down.

When this happens, it's the quickest way to bring a story to someone who can't do that.

"But even if you hold the evidence with Retina alone, it's over when you're crushed."

Gaddles and Maxwell. With their help, you can't be a bad handler, no matter what the Duke of Raum is.

Or, if you abruptly interrupt and let the fringe break, the Duke's Ments will also crumble.

If you conveniently bring it into a situation in the Marquis of Yowi's favor and ask Maxwell or Gaddles for help there, you should be able to turn it down without rotting.

Anyway, it's up to you to find out if that black rumor is true.

"Yeah, can you help me?

"Of course."

Retina is still an important best friend. I couldn't have overlooked the fact that the Duke with the black rumor could have let him in.
