Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

A meadow in the morning. On a straight stretching road, we are on a carriage towed by unicorns, going silently.

Whether it rained at dawn or because of this wax, there are countless droplets of water on the grass stretched up to the knee. The sight of each of them shining in the light of the sun can no longer be expressed solely by the word 'beautiful'.

As a glimmer of wind strokes past the meadow, the droplets fall apart simultaneously. But...... now I don't feel like raising my admiration when I see those sights.

"Toslin, I say yesterday on top of the others, but you're not wrong."

Saluena, sitting on your stand, spoke that way to Toslin, sitting next to him.

It will not be long before an hour passes before Carol receives the ferocious news that he murdered Count Phil Ortho and, on top of that, even killed his wife and fled. Without time (now) to ascertain its authenticity, Toslin was incorporated into Carol's search party by order of his father, Viscount Iriburg.

Naturally we joined the search party about Toslin as well, but there hasn't been a conversational conversation between us since, and this will be our first.

I wait thrilled to hear back from Toslin.

"Yeah, I know, Saluena."

Although searching for Carol..., five hundred Iriburgian soldiers, including the Viscount, who are now moving through this meadow, are acting under orders to capture or kill Carol as soon as they find him. Though I can easily imagine not being calm inside, but surprisingly, Toslin's reply was calm.

"I'm sorry, Saluena... I'm really worried about you."

"What, to me, it was like my sister. It would be perfectly natural for a sister to care about her."

"Ha, you're my sister...... right. It's kind of ticklish, but, well... I'm counting on you."

"Oh, I got it. So just in case, what are you gonna do now?

I am quietly listening to that conversation in the carriage, kneeling pillow on Ritzereich, who until just now was prickly angry and now asleep. I have a palm-sized Phoenix at my feet, staring worryingly at me.

"I can't help going to Count Phil Ortho's territory right now, and I'll follow orders like this. And find him and Rosé before anyone else. That's why my dad must have let me join the search."

"Are you thinking about what happened after you found it?

"... Mm-hmm, you don't know yet. That would be best if we cleared Carol of her innocence..."

"Let's do that, then. You need to listen to Carol first for that. It still looks like we should give priority to rendezvous with the two of you."

"Yeah, right. I'm gonna bother you guys... but I'm sorry. It would help if you could hang out with me."

"Phew, as I said earlier, I think of you guys as sisters. Besides, we're buddies. There is a strong connection between the Knights...... Therefore, if I did, I would have given you a hand in refusing to cooperate."

"... thank you, Saluena. But what are you doing with your hands open?

"I thought I'd give you a hug."

From the shadow movement in front of her, it looks like Saluena really tried to hug Toslin for you. But I hear Toslin pulled himself back and shunned that.

"... you know, that's what you do, so Rose hates you?

I hear a deep sigh of toslin.

"... no, they don't hate you though?

"You're the only one who thinks that. Totally... you look at other people a lot, but when you're inside, you're really blind, right? Maybe it's because I trust you, but I don't know if they'll break my sisters' contract one day, okay?

"... so much?

"My guess, it's not that far yet. But I'll make sure it stays this way..."

Toslin's shadow made a bat out of his fingers. I saw that. Saluena freaks me out.

"... Kick, watch out..."

And so squeezed out his voice.

"Yeah, do that. Because I don't want to be adventurous watching my ex-sisters gizzy interactions either. When you're in front of Rosé, it's just you and Iris."

(- Why even me?!?

If I'd listened quietly, I'd have eaten an unexpected roll, me, but I couldn't speak up because Ritzereich has a knee sleeping with Suyasuyapiyopiyo.

Five hundred soldiers scattered in the woods and began searching for Carol.

When you see that sight moving through the dim woods with a pine light in your hand, nature and your hand become a form of prayer.

(Please, don't let anyone but us find you)

You don't have to worry about me like this, Carol and your sister are fine. I believe so, but that doesn't explain why I'm not worried.

"Toslin."

Viscount Iriburg came this way as he walked through the autumn trees and trampled down the fallen dead trees. The Viscount is in the same armor as when he welcomed us, with his sword down on his hips. Come.

"Dad, do you still have something?

My eyes are still cold to see the Viscount of Toslin, though it has gotten better somewhat. Even if I show an understanding of my father's position and the decisions I make, I guess my emotions are different.

The Viscount with her hand on Toslin's shoulder tried to say something, but she stopped. Instead he turned away from her and looked at us.

"A child, one day, is something to nest in. That can't be stopped, whether you're a parent or not. Assuming the time has come… I will respect the will of my child"

The Viscount said so, turning back his heel, and walked away shaking his cape.

……

Toslin looks at his back, just zippy.

"I guess that's what you're telling me to find Carol and secretly leave the country. Aren't you a good father?"

"... yeah..."

To Ritzereich's words, Toslin just nodded one thing. With a complex, emotionally clueless look on his face.
