Once, mountain waters and contemporary contemporary lords were present.

When the mountain waters fought and won, the Lord admitted, reluctantly.

But at that time, he merely admitted that Sansui would be Duweh's 'escort', and above all, Duweh was only his daughter and sister.

For Tridge, Rain is for his sister, not his real sister. Plus, Casein doesn't want to be an escort, he wants to be his fiancée.

And the Lord is an adult and takes responsibility for what he says.

But Tridge didn't take responsibility for what he said.

"Remember!

With the throwaway dialogue, he just fled home. Probably will come again.

The mountain waters dropped off, reflecting the future of Sopede in its clean appearance.

"Um... are you okay?

Arabi was visiting John.

Even though it took the form of a match, the division went to the main house.

Even though the main house is falling apart, I don't even think the other branches will be on our side just because the situation is.

"Oh...... I'm fine. Sopeds are clean in places like that."

John is under the umbrella of Sopede, which is why he puts his trust in the main house.

Assuming Tridge mentions' Kill That Kid 'or' Crush That Kid's House 'to his subordination, no one will follow that order.

As Mountain Water said, 'Boy, it will be decided for nothing', everyone else is done denying it.

"First of all, if you were willing to do that, you wouldn't bother coming alone"

"Right......"

I don't use shady hands, I come to kill with dignity. That's what sopeds are for.

It seems aristocratic or barbarian, but it's a martial arts, so I can't help it.

"Oh, that! Lord Sansui!"

"What is it, Master Casein?"

"How about me?! I think you liked Rain?!

"Look over there"

Mountain waters urging you to see Rain against caseins delighted with their first victory.

Casein, who was a masterful, exciting face, remained rigid with that face.

"... Lord Sansui. I don't think Rayne likes me."

"Exactly."

"... I didn't do anything cowardly, did I?

"Yes."

"I was challenged, so I just responded, right?!

"You're right, sir"

"Then why..."

What the hell was I supposed to do?

I just wanted to get along with Rayne.

"What was I supposed to do?"

"... I don't know either"

My adoptive father, Shanshui, told me to play a game.

Tridge and Casein just followed suit.

If so, it would be too unreasonable to be disliked irrelevant to winning or losing.

"This is samurai advice."

"What is it"

"Winning without letting the opponent do anything, is bad in the game. Killing each other would be great, but if it's a game, it's within your discretion and you should create a show for them."

……

"And my advice as an adoptive father,"

Mountain water can read some signs, but neither can men's nor women's finesse.

Therefore, the advice is no big deal either.

"Regardless of the degree, you can't leave Rain to the man who gives up here"

"If you're not willing to give up, consider your next hand to the extent that Rayne doesn't find it annoying. You're both still young, so you don't have to be so serious about what you started."

"Lord Sansui......!

"Rest assured, I have also been frequently disappointed by my daughter and wife"

"... is that right"

First holiday, that night John was sighing.

Walking through the exotic mansion of mountain water, I find a foreign object in the laid gravel.

There was a mixture of red stones in the white gravel.

"Oh, my God..."

I thought so and picked it up, it was actually a discolored, bloody pebble.

It was so much blood, no matter how I saw it, that I could see it under the moonlight.

"... out of place"

This is the residence of the Black and White Mountain Water.

It is the castle of the most powerful swordsman in the kingdom of Arcana, a monster who strikes down even one nation.

It is a dream sanctuary for the swordsmen, who also provide guidance to the nobility and even to the martial arts guide role.

I understand that, and I don't even hate it.

But it's not like I want to do that.

I know that mountain waters and bowbays care about me, and I guess I can't abandon even people like myself from the purpose of the exam.

I also know you're a good person. But still, it's not like I want to.

"I was wondering if someone could change..."

When I thought so, I noticed the girl walking by.

Princess of the Vortex, it is the last royal Rein.

"This is... what's wrong?

"Talk to me, aren't you annoying?

"Of course, sir."

If you look at Rayne's expression, you know you want to talk to someone about something.

That's probably not something you can tell your father or mother.

John was feeling a kind of pity for her as she lived a complicated and strange life.

Stemper also said that the story was too big for me to think of using it at all.

You felt that, and Rayne didn't hesitate to start talking.

"Um... what do you think of Boy?

"... Huh?

"I don't know if I'm going to say this... don't you hate it?

What a ten year old to ask.

Her virginity of staying with my princess for a long time is nothing more than proof that it was so harsh.

John was laying himself over it.

"Well... I don't know if I'm being honest, but it would be better than the rest"

"... you say the same thing as your uncle"

"Dear uncle? Excuse me, but your relatives..."

"Ah, not the blood connected family, but the father of your sister Blois..."

"Oh, the Winn's"

There's no way there's any blood ties in the mountain water, and Rain's relatives are all killed by Rikyo. Thus speaking of Rain's relatives, he is inevitably a relative of Blois.

"It's a disaster over there too..."

"Disaster, do you think?

"That's a disaster. Because my daughter just had a sword and a magical gift, and I was going to offer it to my princess."

I offer my second daughter, not my oldest son, as an escort to the main house.

The Winn family was thereby flourished in a true sense.

I said it was a disaster to say that I was glad to see it.

It was the same as Rain's values.

"Well, I hope you're listening to that. It's honor if you can serve the main house directly, honor. That's true, and Sopede still pays the price and keeps his word. So it's better than the rest."

"Better......"

"Miss Rain will meet with the lords of the four nobles often. Aren't you familiar with the bad, the good, the public and the private?

"... Yes"

"It's better. I only know the public place."

It's going to be a long story, so I encouraged him to sit down.

On the bench on the property, the two slowly lower their hips.

"Until that war began, the territory of Sopede seemed generally good. Not that there's anything bad about it, but you were decent enough for an exile nobleman to float. That means more than the demise of the old domino empire, it is a sign that the Lord of Sopeds lays down good governance. I don't care about anything else."

"... I, too, know the exile nobles. I was making a scene with Mr. Toon, and it was terrible."

"It's better than there. Well, that's fine. Anyway, it's nothing else."

"Oh, really?

"You know a lot about the Lord of Sopeds, don't you?

The main house of Sopede does not do a lot when all the women are involved, neither the predecessors nor the present nor the next generation.

I see, it's a flaw in defense.

But what about the division? What about your own house? What about the other houses?

Not just the aristocracy, not the merchants, the farmers, not the rich, not the poor?

Clean, white, open, big, comfortable, fair and selfless.

Such a person (...), there is no way he is.

"My house is doing something backwards, too, and if I go home myself, I look big. Honestly, it's not like I can complain."

"It... could be"

Rayne was remembering.

Not for a short period of time, when I was at school, I heard a dark story behind me from my alumni.

We were speaking without offense, disdain for those who descend.

"I have not wronged Lord Sansui, who defeated the then Lord and the next Lord, and your daughter, who was his daughter. I should have been able to cut it off for a good reason, but I'm well-educated"

"... I appreciate it"

"Me, too. I'm not being honest with you about being here right now..."

I don't like it, but I have no choice.

If we don't work hard, we can't protect our current status.

Even if you do something you don't like, it's worth protecting.

"I thought I was unlucky, and I just have to give up. We just have to give up and work hard."

……

"I can't stand this amount of nasty stuff either. Then I'm just going to fall everywhere. In the same way, you're just going to live surrounded by people you can't stand and can't stand."

No matter what class you were born in, in which house, to a man or to a woman. Whether you are blessed with talent or not. Whether you can do what you want or not.

After all, there is an undesirable patience there.

……

"What's up?

Against John, who suddenly shut up, Rayne glanced at his complexion.

"Sorry, I ended up saying my stupidity..."

"Fine. I, too, had a weak voice..."

Rayne looks forward.

See the mansion of black and white mountain waters, a sign that mountain waters are beneficial.

"Dad said you could do whatever I wanted. I'm sure my lord and my predecessors will say so. But that's annoying... I thought about it when I got into bed because I had to be patient."

"What you have to endure, what you don't have to endure. It's not up to me or you to decide that, Miss Rain. If you're told you don't have to be patient, you should be sweet about it."

"... Really?

"Lord Sansui also said that if you are patient all the time, you will sometimes explode when you have to endure"

I know how Rain feels.

I wondered if I could say I am my daughter, even though my father has been so generous.

I was wondering if that's just allowed and actually annoying.

But they say it's okay, so you just have to be sweet.

"Anyway, I can't really say whether or not when I can't."

"... right"

They both understood without having to put it into words.

Anyway, that's not the end of the story.

"Um, thank you, Master John"

"... did you remember my name?"

"Yes, thanks to listening to me, I feel better"

Seeing a very polite greeting, John honestly suspected, 'Could this child be alive for about a hundred years?'

Of course, it means good.

"Would you like to talk to me again?

"If it's me,"

In the mansion of mountain water, the night is particularly long.

Sometimes you meet someone who can easily talk about a topic that you can't talk to an intimate person about.
