I'm home.

Welcome home... maybe you didn't use the horse-drawn carriage?

Yeah. I felt like walking a bit.

”... so you've decided?”

Yeah, I decided to stay in the kingdom army.

Oh, is that so!

Yeah, well, I──'ll go to bed.

At that time, Claudia was simply happy, but I haven't heard the details of why she decided to stay in the Kingdom Army. The thought that listening might change my mind was over, and I didn't have the courage to listen. This is the first time I've told Ashton such a great thing.

Ashton hasn't asked Olivia why either. It seems that we should not ask extra questions now. In the end, Claudia was well-positioned to the idea.

(Anyway, you chose to walk with us. Compared to your resignation from the army, the sweets piled up in the carriage are trivial. That's right, it's trivial...)

Is that so!

Claudia, who accidentally shouted out loud, focused everyone's attention. Olivia's eyes turned to see horrible things, while everyone's expressions flashed.

Claudia, I don't think it's a good idea to suddenly make a strange noise.

Leaze said with an extremely serious face.

"I didn't mean to raise a strange voice... sorry"

Claudia apologized honestly, and Leaze began to laugh patiently.

"... I don't remember saying anything funny?"

“I know, but I really think Claudia's the same.”

"I told you one day, but I wonder if your personality will ever change."

I see... some people want something different.

Leaze's mouth was poured over Blood, who was having a pleasant conversation with Olivia. Claudia looked at Leaze's warm eyes, which she had only seen once at the Royal Academy.

Could it be that Leaze likes General Blood?

”... that's the core of it. It's been around for a long time.”

Is that so?

“Yeah, I'm fine, but I don't think I should tell anyone else the same thing. I'll definitely buy it."

Is General Blood aware of Leaze's feelings?

"Will you not let my advice slip away?"──Well, is it honest that I don't know what's going on around here? "

Claudia remembers Leaze from the Royal Academy as a talented person. Still, nothing came to mind but Leaze's glasses. Blood, whom Leaze had inspired, was skilled at power plotting, and I heard that his subordinates had a lot of trust. Claudia herself doesn't think much of it, but she understands Leaze's fascination.

Then let me know what you think.

Leaze's eyes turned black and white.

"I was surprised. I thought it was about Claudia, and I said, 'In these days, there's a lot of color.'"

"On the contrary, it's a time like this." It is not strange that we should die at any time. Then you should live a life you won't regret. "

Hmmm. Then Claudia won't regret it either.

"I'm going to do it all the time."

Can you really say that?

Leaze's eyes turned toward Ashton, who spoke to Evansin with a difficult face.

Claudia tilted her head.

"What happened to Ashton?"

"What? I was watching Ensign Evansin?"

Claudia stroked her tongue against Leaze, who was looking at her face.

"It's a good idea to include it." What the hell is that? "

Leaze's expression turned to one full of pity.

”Hah... I've noticed it faintly for a long time, but Claudia is not such a hassle.”

“So what?”

“It's about thinking for yourself. It's not what I say anyway. But if you do that all the time, you can take it from the side. Besides, the big wall is blocked."

Leaze lined up her horse next to Blood, saying it was like a discard dialogue. Blood immediately fluttered and, judging by the state of things, must have spoken with jealousy.

(I don't know what you wanted to say after all...)

Still, Claudia wished her friends happiness.
