After Master Ciel leaves, I return to my room.

Then Mr. Zara was squatting with his head.

"Wow, Mr. Zara, what's going on?

"Nothing."

"It's nothing."

I go around to the front of Mr. Zara and peek into his face.

"You were about to say something earlier, weren't you?

"Yeah, but it's not like that."

"I care"

Zara gives a hazy look. I looked at him, but he missed me at first.

Maybe he wanted to talk about something important. I've done something wrong.

"Um, it doesn't have to be now. Anytime, let me hear it."

"Mel...... thanks. I'm sorry, I didn't have the courage to tell you right away."

"It's okay. From now on, we'll always be together."

But you can't live here forever either.

I'm sure it must only be while Master Siel stays.

Exactly, you'll tell me in the meantime. I just have to wait.

That's why trying on the dress has always been a bummer.

I talked to Liezelotte after I took it off, and I said, "I wanted to see it!" He got angry.

Next time I promise to go out in a dress, he'll fix my mood.

But when I thought about even wearing a dress, I was freaked out.

Somehow, the lady is in trouble.

◇ ◇ ◇

Not if you are enjoying your young lady's life.

When I get to work, my job as a knight awaits.

First, I heard a report about the demon stone incident that caused the heat the other day.

The captain reads out the report with a harrowing look.

"Anything, I hear there's a bunch of people out there trying to do something good."

Several suspects were stopped and detained by the Knights.

"They seem to want to revive the wizard era."

The wizard history of this world is quite spectacular.

Once upon a time, this world was governed by wizards over much of the country.

At the time, he repeatedly married close relatives in order to inherit the magic of blood with magic and a child inheritance.

Furthermore, the magic power in the world was consumed more and more in the Magic Wars.

After repeating such perilous things, the wizard's blood almost interrupted, and the world tree that creates magic nearly withered.

The magical civilization, whose equilibrium has collapsed, will instantly decline, and there will be a handful of wizards living in modern times.

"The Marquis of Liechtenberger is a family of old wizards, isn't it?

"Yeah, that's right. I have the magic of a single child, but I didn't have the characteristics, so I can't use it."

"I see."

Do you think Lieselotte strongly inherits the power of the flaming attributes of her mother's home, the Count Evahardt family?

"Collecting materials and hiring a handful of wizards seems to cost money to master magic, and now and always, you have a strong impression that it belongs to nobility"

"Yeah, right."

In that situation, there was an organization that was engaged in the activity of finding talented people and raising them to be single wizards.

"Did those people tell you about this case?

The captain nodded with a heavy look.

"So we went into the gutter, but the superiors fled and went missing."

But they used tracking magic from magic marks to determine a more or less latent position.

- So our mission is to find people.

They don't know the exact location, even though they generally know where it is. That's why we have to look from one end.

"For the time being, the search period shall be three days"

Looking for - he seems to be an uncle in his forties or so named Day Yukel.

"The search is for Mount Null, about three hours from the Wang capital by carriage."

Looks like a search in the mountains. I was frightened when I remembered looking for people in Snow Mountain, but it would be better than that.

"Mount Null looks foggy and cold. Prepare your winter gear."

The departure is in an hour.

The faces of the second unit will be scattered to prepare for the expedition.

After I prepared the ingredients as usual, I went to the dressing room to pick them up.

In an hour - it will be departure.

The owner of the carriage is the captain, and Amelia is crossed by Mr. Gal, who runs with Stella.

The rest of the crew are waiting in the car. Instead, the facades of the second unit had a magical face.

Urgas, who can no longer stand the silence, leaks the potpourri.

"... Something's been going on lately."

"Jun, that's something I can't help. When it gets warm, there are strange people out there. Last year, the knights who came to the cafeteria talked about Gucci."

Apparently, there were many regular knights in the dining room where Zara worked in tired condition.

"Wow, that's against discipline."

Essentially, what you see at work is confidential and should not be taken out of your mouth. But when the alcohol comes in, my mouth really seems to get lighter.

"Well, most of the guests are knights over there, and I don't think they're hearing each other's conversations because they're all so loud"

"Yes, but discipline is there to protect."

"Jun is such a good boy."

Urgas looked happy for a moment when Mr. Zara stroked his head, but lay her eyes down softly because he was a man.

"Oh, are you unhappy with me?

"No, if you've had long hair before, Art is still like a man with shorter hair these days."

"Then I'll stretch your hair for Jun"

"No, that's fine"

"Don't hesitate"

Lieutenant Berley, who saw the interaction between the two, smiles all the time. Me and Lieselotte, too, laughed.

Mr. Zara, did you care because the atmosphere in the carriage was dark?

Thanks to this, the awkward air has disappeared.

Here, Lieutenant Berley makes an unexpected suggestion.

"Vulgas, shall I stroke him?

"What!?

Urgas is swimming his gaze with Kyoro Kyoro, in a sluggish motion. He doesn't seem to know what to do.

Lieutenant Berley, meanwhile, stands idly by.

I didn't expect you to say this to Lieutenant Berley.

Urgas wants me to stroke him, but Lieutenant Berry is my boss, and he seems to have a grip like that.

Then I raise my hand.

"Lieutenant Berry, if you say Urgas is good, stroke me instead!

"Yeah ~!!"

I won't have a chance to get Lieutenant Berley to stroke me in the future.

Urgas raised his hand that he should not miss his right to stroke.

"Um, Lieutenant Berley, thank you!

"Okay."

Apparently, they really do. Jealous bastard.

Urgas, who was invited, crouched in front of Deputy Berley.

"Urgas is always working hard. Great."

That said, Lieutenant Berry strokes Urgas's head.

It wasn't a gentle hand like Mr. Zara's, it was like Gashigashi's, it was like stroking a big dog.

Still, Urgas seemed happy.

Good for you!

And while I was dusty.

Dodddon! And something hit the carriage body continuously. A mild impact is transmitted.

The carriage stopped immediately.

Soon, the carriage door will open. It was the captain who showed his face all the time.

If I hadn't gotten used to it, I would have mistakenly been attacked by a bandit, but our bandit without dispute... was not a captain.

"Apparently, a migratory bird hit the body of a vehicle"

The captain's hand is gripped by a small bird with gray feathers.

It was Lieselotte who peeked into it.

"This bird is drunk."

I guess I overdosed my magic, so I couldn't make a normal flight.

Eight in all, they hit a carriage. Already, you think you're out of breath?

"Take one home and submit it to the Magic Research Bureau"

The migratory bird's remains are put in leather bags and offered to me.

"Hey, Lislis, take it"

"Huh!?

"If you had put it inside the Nix, it wouldn't rot, would it?

"Oh, yes..."

Somehow, I got scared when I heard he was drunk.

I have no choice but to ask Nix for once.

"Finally."

Sounds good.

I got permission, so I put the migratory bird in the nix.

"All right, I'll make it lunch."

Now that we've stopped, it looks like we're going to take a break.

The captain pointed to the migratory bird he had bumped into and ordered me.

"Lislis, now make something"

"What!?
