Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

We were left in the room, except for your parents and Carol.

The Count sighed loudly, engraving a deep wrinkle between his brows.

"But... did I? My daughter and I have already broken our engagement..."

"I didn't hear anything from my daughter, so we're just saying that you and that kid are going to be bonded..."

"That's what I've been thinking for the two of you...... apparently I've made an extra draw. I'm sorry, Tosrillun."

"Yes, no... I haven't heard from you in a long time, and I'm sorry for this one. Instead, thank you for your attention."

"My daughter is on her way there. I've been looking forward to the day when you'll be back. I just want you to draw on that thought."

"Yes......"

When I talked to your parents for a while and it was time for some air.

Gachari......

The door opened and Carol came back to the room.

"Oh, Carol. How'd it go, that guy?

"Yeah... not, uh... I think it's okay. We talked a little bit, and now we're calm. He just wants me to be alone for a while. He wants no one near his room."

"Right...... Um, aunt..."

"Yeah, let's do that. I'll tell the maids."

"Now, is it time to leave? Some stories accumulate. Hopefully we'll visit here again after everything is done..."

"Yes, I'm sure I will. Maybe by then, he'll be calm."

"I hope so. Oh, man, having a daughter around your age is an outrageous thing. Your father, Viscount Iriburg, probably thinks the same thing. If you can, show your face and be filial to me."

Thus, when we entered the country illegally, we were freed without being blamed.

... though.

"... hey"

Leaving the Count Phil Ortho house, I was wondering if it was time for an hour already.

"... hey"

Pacapaka, Pacapaka and lightly walk down the streets leading to Iriburg territory as Goltmund tows his carriage.

"... are you listening?

But right now, the heavy air opposite its footsteps fills the carriage.

"Hey, don't ignore me."

This voice, heard from earlier, belongs to Toslin sitting on your stand, and it was directed at Carol, who would be next door. But all I can hear is Toslin's voice, and I can't hear Carol at all.

"Whoa!! Carol!!

It was when Toslin screamed like that in a voice that felt like boiling the business.

"Ugh, shut up!! If you said no, that would be enough!! The other guy changed his mind. That's what this is all about, isn't it? Is that all?

Carol's anger pierced my eardrum. I'm not the only one. Everyone in the carriage is there, listening to Toslin and Carol arguing. No, you're more right to say you're being heard.

(hey, something... this fight feels different than usual...)

They're usually gaggy and noisy, but I don't think there's ever been a case of Carol ignoring Toslin. And also to say it back with a voice that feels really angry.

"Yet forever, gut-gut-gut-gut-gut-gut-gut-gut and come on...... Did you say no properly? Didn't I know? I don't know if that's true, but it just sounds like an excuse to be heard over and over again? I mean, what? You said that when you left Atashi Mansion, didn't you? He said he didn't care. Why do you repeat it so much? Isn't that because Atashi has some kind of hindsight!?

"Oh, there can't be! I did, because you've been quiet ever since... I'm curious..."

"Ahhh. Then you don't have to worry about anything, so just face forward. Don't talk to Atashi for a while."

"What an approximate saying. Ha! Then you will always look grumpy!!

"Huh? I wasn't upset or anything. This is just happening because Toslin is persistent. How far!! I mean, I told you not to talk to me!?

(... eh, this... okay? You're gonna be okay, aren't you? You're the one who feels like you're reconciling with nature like you always do in a while, aren't you?

But that's what I'm thinking, and I'm realizing it. This time, it's not like that. More than anything else, your sister, Ritzereich, and Saluena are as silent as I am.

(Guys, I know it's not like the usual fights...)

The only ones I haven't noticed are Laplice and Mippo, who were asleep at that time. They are both interested in playing cards because of the arguments of the Toslins.

I usually get mixed up in that play, too, but I don't care about that right now.

"Ha..."

He nodded his head on his knees and sighed with caution that everyone would not hear him.

"Is it heavy, feel it?

But that seemed to reach Ritzereich's ear, sitting across the street, and her smile popped in as she raised her face.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, kind of."

"Well, there's no way. Ever since I left the mansion, those two haven't been at that rate. I've come across situations like this in the past"

"Mr. Rizzelaich? Who are you fighting with...... is Aunt Yuhanna?

Didn't your sister get used to this air, too, eating up on Ritzereich's story with all the help of heaven?

"No, it's not. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't me who fought, it wasn't my men. You just joined the White Lily Knights, three young knights."

Ritzereich told me about his spare time consolation and about that time. This is what happens when you explain the content.

There were two girls, and they were childhood friendly and huge. He said he was very happy to join the White Lily Knights, which was a memorial. The dorm was in the same room, so they were encouraging each other to work hard together from now on.

But the dorm was actually a three-person room, and another girl was to be added to the friendly combination. The three of them lived together only at first, but gradually one of the friendly combinations and the new girl they met stayed together longer......

"Oh, well... I've seen it in books. You get jealous when you see your friends getting along with other kids."

"Um, well, that's not what I meant"

In my case, that's what Micaña was like when she was little. That guy, when I'm playing with the other kids, he comes in with a forceful crack, doesn't he? Because of that, I couldn't make any friends other than him. I won't forgive you, Micaña.

"So what happened to those people?

"... I didn't leave it at first. It's too dangerous to reassign all three of you to separate units."

"Oh yeah... The Knights of the White Lilies were all very grown-up people, so I didn't think so."

"That's it. Because I chose the people beside you with me and Yuhanna. I'll tell you what, this is just one example. Similar stories are rolling over there. Hi-ku."

I didn't want to hear about this if I could, even though it's better than we're all pushing each other to shut up.

"Knowing the drooling inside of those knights, it seems scary that they occasionally have a clean name such as White Lilies"

Among those Knights, Griddiz should be working hard as a rookie by now, but I wonder if he'll be all right... Well, that kid's got a strong core, unlike me, and I guess he's fine. No, wait, wait? Maybe it's because she's such a kid that she's prone to trouble or get involved?

(I guess I'll ask you about it somewhere in the letter)

She's an important alumni, just like Lou. In addition to that, he's a comrade who fought with his Sands Ones opponent, and he's also a kid like his sister. I don't have what I can do, but I want you to be as concerned as possible.

(Well...... if you ask me now if I can afford to be worried about Griddiz, I don't have much)

Toslin and Carol's argument continues without having to listen.

"This time, it's going to take a long time..."

"Yes...... Right...... We're just best friends..."

"... once again, is it?

Until then, Saluena, who had quietly closed her eyes, turned to the palace and groaned.

"Hmm? It happened... what do you mean?

"It means the way it is. Innocent maiden."

To my inquiry, Saluena returns with such a smile.

(As it is? What do you mean as it is? Are you saying you two aren't best friends with each other?

I turned to my sister, who got no guidelines and whose doubts deepened further.

……

But your sister stared at Saluena, and she didn't seem to notice my gaze.

"I'd give Carol a help boat if I could... but there's not much I can do about this one. I wonder if there's more to it than waiting for time to fix it..."

Ritzereich is right, this hand thing is a matter between us, and there's not much we can do.

"Oh yeah...... Maybe..."

Though there was something that didn't fall to my heart, I snapped and nodded my face on my knee again.

"Stop!! Carriage there, stop now!!

But I immediately raised my face when I heard voices calling for the sound and stopping of several horse hooves from behind.

"What? What are you doing again, us?

I look for my thoughts on the development of a sense of immense visibility. But the Count Phil Ortho's permission to pass through the county's territory comes from the Count himself, and I can't think of a reason to be stopped.

"Hmm? Now what? It's a good place right now."

Borough Loser

When I put my face out of front with Laplice wondering what it was, a few soldiers approached me from behind the trail.

Besides, if you look closely, those soldiers are not warwolves. They're all elves. He has a bow on his back and a thin sword on his hips.

Hey, did you find out we were faking our identity? That would be a reason to be stopped for once......

"Viscount Illiburg, I saw you with your carriage!! By order of the Countess Phil Ortho, it is not necessary to continue passing through our territory!!

What, eh? Why? We have the Count's permission? Hmm? Did you give the order, ma'am? What do you mean?

"Wait a minute. We have the Count's permission, don't we?

Naturally, Toslin holds the permit and insists so. But the elf soldier (maybe he's a knight) shakes his neck to the side.

"The Count was murdered!!

"Huh?"

"This is what Lady Phil Ortho says! We are not among those who hinder the sacraments of the priestly warriors. But whoever kills our Lord is none other than that. If you want to leave the realm like this, you have offered the murderer of the Count, i.e. the Warwolf who is there!!

They tied their bows together and pointed their blades at us… No, they turned to Carol, who was on your stand.
