I hear Zara spends her pay and goes to Mrs. Evahardt. So it looks like he's officially signed a contract with Bobcat (Irbes) Noir and will also adopt him.

For a week or so, we'll be separated.

"I'm sure it'll be the day after tomorrow. It's sudden, but Crowe told me a long time ago to adopt the Evahardts."

"So you were"

He seemed to be putting off the problem if he couldn't make a hole in the mission.

"Mrs. Evahardt, too, wanted to see Blanche, so I thought it was just right"

"Right."

I love Bobcats, Mrs. Everhardt. I'm sure you'll be happy. Though it would be hard to break up with Noir for that matter.

"Probably won't be on a mission without me or Lieselotte."

"Something seems to have changed the team's mind."

"Yes."

Even a few troops seemed to have made the decision that they should not be on an expedition without more than six.

When I made some of the same few elite units as the Second Expeditionary Force, they seemed to be able to.

"Be careful on the road"

"Yep. Thanks"

And, as such, Ms. Zara is about to take a new step.

I'm just there for you.

◇ ◇ ◇

Leezelotte arrived a long time ago. They're filing discharge reports today.

And then you also decided to go back to your parents' house from the old Everhardt residence?

For once, it seems that the servant will leave you to take care of Amelia and Stella. Thankful story.

"Nevertheless, when Lieselotte is gone, we will miss him"

"Right. I miss you, too."

It's been a year since Liezelotte enlisted in the Second Expeditionary Force. In it, a lot happened.

"We had a terrible meeting."

"Right. Yes, I did."

After protecting Amelia, our second unit was interrogated by the Phantom Beast Protection Agency.

In it the captain is clean and raging. We were all close, going to the cabin.

That's when Leezelotte came to do my physical exam.

"I never thought I'd be naked."

"Only one person is naked, because I was embarrassed"

I suggested to Lieselotte to do a physical exam in the bath, and the female knight on watch was also involved and we were all naked.

"Now that I think back, you're laughing"

"Really."

Leezelotte cared for a while, but now he can laugh off like this.

I guess it would have been nice to have reflected firmly, cracked our bellies and shared our thoughts with each other.

"At first, I enlisted for phantom beast purposes, but while I was on a mission, I learned that peace in this country was preserved with the hard work of knights."

Yes. I also became a knight for wage purposes. But the people who work there were proud of their job as knights, fighting for peace.

Now I, too, am proud of my job as a knight.

"Then there are some bad people in the world, some good people. There are fairies and spirits besides phantom beasts. I could have realized that there was a world of all beings."

For Lieselotte, who had only seen phantom beasts, working in the Knights seemed to have led to broadening sight and hearing.

"To tell you the truth, if I had a normal girl like Mel, I'd have a knight."

"Well, yeah"

"But Mel. You weren't normal."

"Really?

"Yep, to the wealth of forest knowledge, the ability to discern ingredients, the vitality to cook in any place, and then the tender mind to caring for others... none of which I could imitate, it was wonderful"

"I don't know, I can light it up"

"Others, too, are highly capable of individuals. Captain Ludtink, as you can see, was physically fit and never showed who he was. The command was also accurate. Lieutenant Berley's double-swordsman was brilliant, and Gal Gal's spear pierced any enemy. Jun Urgas, although not always confident, had quite the skill of a bow and arrow, and Zara Art had resolutely attacked any demon. I had a hard time following an expedition with such a crew."

"Leezelotte, you've worked really hard"

Unexpectedly, I stretched my back and stroked my head.

Leezelotte seemed to be looking around a lot, though he thought he was invisible except the phantom beast.

"Finally, you can control magic, and I thought it would help."

"Lieselotte"

Lieselotte is about to regret it.

She is an aristocratic woman, and she cannot be knighted all the time to protect the Marquis of Liechtenberger.

Looking forward firmly and trying to move for the future.

"I'm glad I met Mel."

"Me, too. Seems like if we were talking about this, we'd be breaking up forever. We're friends, so you can always see each other."

Before that, though I'm also a sister. Occasionally, I almost forget that I was adopted into the Marquis de Liechtenberger family.

I hugged Lieselotte, who was about to cry, and caressed her back gently.

"That's right," Leezerotte said after a long stint.

"Your father seems to be throwing us a party as an exercise in his social debut."

"Oh, that's amazing."

I didn't know you were throwing a party to practice your social debut, that's right, the Marquis of Liechtenberger.

"Mel's coming, too, right?

"Huh!? Wow, me too, huh?

"Yeah. They're calling the Mirage Beast master for an exchange."

Seems to invite the master of the phantom beast from the province to throw a grand party that combines the revelations of Lieselotte.

That sounds like a little fun.

"It's a match for the phantom beasts."

"Really?"

Will Amelia, Stella or Esmeralda join?

When I get home, I have to ask.
