"Phyllia, this is a report you wrote, but I've already read it with a copy. Sounds like Mr. Hiro has quite a bit in there, doesn't he?

From Master Sophia's face, the smile had disappeared.

No, I'm smiling, but you look different than you did earlier.

Is this the "land" of Master Sophia? Were the three of you surprised that you stopped using your "face" for social purposes?

"Sister?

"Don't feel bad, Mr. Hiro, do you? Philia, what is your assessment of Mr. Hiro?

"!... Odd Currency,.

"I saw it as a raw stone. Is Filia slightly more appreciated just for what she sees as worthwhile at the moment? With the years away, maybe Hiro looks smaller than Philia's rating.

Master Alex speaks.

"In the future, we'll line up with Mr. Chiharu, or..., and. That's what I'm looking at.

"That's the same for me.

Master Sophia's eyes turned this way.

Honestly, I know it's overrated, but I shouldn't be showing humility here or anything like that.

Why, I thought so.

Stretch your spine and take your gaze.

"We will work hard to keep up with your assessment.

Sophia's eyes, who nodded deeply, turned again to Philia.

"In addition to Alex's identity assurance, so is my identity assurance. Is that what you thought?

"Yes, I thought we might as well take each other to do so.

"Well, I don't know.

"When I assure you of my identity, Mr. Hiro will be completely," The Mel Family Brotherhood, "right? Alex's identity assurance makes a completely different sense. Of course, you know that, don't you?

"Yes, give Mr. Hiro a solid background. To the Mel family, a competent Brotherhood. That's what I thought. Sister."

"Filia, you......

Master Sophia's smile softened again.

You smile, but you looked sad.

"Could my education have been bad?

"Sister!?

Philia was upset...... she gave an angry look.

But it does not give between objections, and Lady Sophia flirts.

"Philia, what is your position?

"It's your sister's spare, at the moment.

"Philia!?

It could have been disgusting. But I accidentally spoke to my voice.

I don't suppose you're talking about too much anger, too much.

"Philia! Before that, you are noble!

With a sad face, Master Sophia scolded him.

"What is the noble thing to do? Answer me, Philia!

"What...! It is naturally about protecting and prospering the Sokai!

"It's about expressing oneself while fulfilling that duty, no one is to blame! It's about acting the way you want! What is nobility without glowing yourselves! Look at Mr. Ariel! It was you, Philia, who found Mr. Hilo. The friendship, trust and experience you have gained on your journey, including your friendship and luck, is your own brilliance.

After scolding, he turns into a gentle voice.

"The relationship is a property that should not be ceded. Nor is it a good one for me to cover. Same as Mr. Chiharu, Philia. Your personal friend, not the Brotherhood of the Mel family. You don't have to worry about the house. Think of yourself.

And Master Sophia declared.

With a prank smile just like Filia's.

"Would you be rude to Mr. Hiro, but whether he has one Necromancer or not, is it something that makes the Mel family a little shaky that I dictate!

Master Sophia, who returned to a soft smile, told him even more.

"Still, yeah. If Phyllia thinks about the Mel family, I might ask her for help sometimes as a Führer's daughter. Get Mr. Hiro involved well, Philia. You need Mr. Hiro more easily on a personal basis, and you can take advantage of Mr. Hiro, right? A nice team that can exorcise Mr. Chiharu and the three of them, both beasts and evil spirits. Even as a Mel family, you can expect it to be more of a force of war.

With that smile, Master Sophia turns to me again.

"Did I surprise you? Classy and adorable, I saw the face of the social lady. Make friends with Philia, won't you, Mr. Hilo?

"I thank you for treating me unintentionally, Dear Sophia. I would like to extend my best wishes to Mr Filia and Mr Chiharu for the future.

"You'd be surprised, Hiro. I guess I made it hard again.

"I don't care what you say for yourself, but do you care if your husband tells you? Alex."

"I am always grateful to the wife I can count on.

A laugh returned to the scene.

"From Mr. Hiro, don't you want to ask us something?

I wonder if I should say it. Because it can obviously make the air on the field worse.

Still, he's taking the "outward mask" off and treating me. It would be more rude to shy away.

I didn't become a "Merle Brotherhood," but, like Thousand Early, I think I'm going to be treated like a "Merle Quasi-Physical" and I need to ask.

I braced my stomach and opened my mouth.

"Earlier, Phyllia said something about herself: 'It's a Sophia-like spare'. Perhaps you should not speak without knowing the rules and decisions of the nobility, but 'people are treated as spares of people' feels like a mundane thing. Well, isn't Filia, competent, rather more than that, a good personality, just a waste of time to leave it as a 'spare'? If you could tell me, I'd be fortunate to know.

"Filia, you've got a reliable friend.

Master Sophia smiled.

"Some places are like exposing me to shame, but Thousand Mornings knows it, and it would be better for Hiro to know it.

"Sophia! It's not shame or anything.

Returning a smile to Master Alex, who said so, Master Sophia spoke out.

"You know that there are no boys in the Mel family right now, right? Six sisters, three of whom are sons of their rightful wives, and three of whom… should I say Second Lady, Third Lady, a child born there,

Well, if you're such a great nobleman, I guess that happens.

"Three people are eligible to inherit Mel's house. It's me, my eldest daughter, four daughters, and Philia, my youngest daughter. The four women in the middle...... it's not true, but almost certainly, they decide to go outside to their daughter-in-law.

That's it, my voice sank a little.

"Mel is a Martial Arts house. As a successor, boys are mandatory. In short, I need to have a boy. But I've been married for four years, and I haven't given you any children yet.

"There's no rush, Sophia. We're still young.

"Thank you, Alex. I'm not in a hurry, either.... but. If it becomes clear that I cannot have children, I will need to take my son-in-law to Philia and connect the house. On the other hand, if a boy were born to me, Philia would either go out to her daughter-in-law, set up a separate family, become a member of the Holy Divine Church, or take that path.

That's the background.

Master Sophia, who looks at me, just didn't look like he was smiling.

I'm trying to figure out, "Do you understand the story so far?" Probably, though.

"At the moment, Philia can't decide the future for herself. You have to behave as a spare. As Hiro said, Philia is highly capable. You can live any way you want, but you have to tie it up. … I might not have been in a good position to say 'behave as I please, and let myself shine' etc.

"Sister, I'm letting you do whatever you want. Whether you're a holy god, or in school. Don't get sick.

"Is the time limit... in a couple more years? If you graduate from school, Filia must also think about the future. This is especially true when it comes to thinking about marriage.

"Sister, if you are a holy god, you can easily wait even if you are single.

Is the child's problem a big deal in every world, in every family?

It's hard to have children in Japan, and there's a lot of noise about childhood.

No, what causes Japanese littleness? I don't have the money to make kids, I don't have the time, I don't have the leeway.... for a nobleman as big as the Mel family, is that irrelevant?

Hmm? Does it matter? You sure about that?

Yeah, stay. Even plates if poisoned.

I'm the one who made the air so bad. I have a responsibility to do something.

"I apologize for your disrespect. To have a child, you need time and leeway to have a child… energy and strength, and stress is likely to be a great enemy. Wouldn't Alex's work be too intense? You have too many jobs at the same time, can't you do something about it?

"If I can do something about it, I'd like to do something about it too...... That's right, Hiro. The lack of memory also meant that you could judge without any prediction. What do you think of the current administration in the Far East?

Wow. I just got the wings to train.

"It feels like dual and triple administration. There's no use...... for sure, but there's also a reason why that happens, isn't there? What is it? What you get at the expense of efficiency...... Right! The Far East is a battlefield. Even if one administrative mechanism is devastated for any reason, it can be covered elsewhere. That insurance!

Isn't that what I am today?

"But when we are double and triple in reality, vertical harm comes... To put that together, politics has to take the lead, right? So you are combining top management positions with a small number of people! If you divide it with a top down, you can shred waste.

I knew it.

Was it better for someone to pull it out?

"It's no problem as a system, but... what if that upper level collapses? If a battle dies or an assassination takes place, isn't it a mayhem? Even at normal times, I'm sure I can't help but be busy...... after all, it doesn't make any difference that you don't have time for Alex...... Again, I think we need to hold our people accountable and share authority. It would mean a combination of vertical harm......

Blink and mouth as you think up the void.

Looking forward, Master Alex and Master Sophia were smiling niggly at each other.

"I appreciate this.

"Odd coins, not raw stones. Was Philia's rating better than Alex's? Philia, you've grown.

"Military aristocrats, with their basic brain muscles. Wants to build martial arts. I have a lot of low awareness of politics and administration.

"I've also heard that you're strong for numbers. Even though the first question I asked was about the economic situation in the village of Kumaroy. Sounds like you have an understanding of the barracks.

Uh-huh. That's how they see me until that question I asked Priest Johann!

Dear Sophia, I knew it was you, Philia's sister. Maybe more cynical.

Thousands of early-mouthed hasn't been in a long time.

"From what I hear, Alex's organization is easy to work with. 'Easy to do because the top doesn't squeak out to the scene,' he said. I was wondering if Alex was working too much.

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that.... but sure, the authority you give below might be a little more. Hiro says there is a risk management problem.

"Shall I let you sag a little too? The Far East is stable so far, and Uncle Gummel on the front line is alive and well. My men, mainly the Mel family's Brotherhood, are just as competent. With that said, my father-in-law also said, 'Come easy in the Far East. Show me your grandson's face quickly,' he said. Did I apparently have the wrong priorities for my job? Was the biggest job I was asked to do was make kids!

"Alex!"

Master Sophia turns red.

"Because of Hiro, the conversation has gone in a strange direction.

"Sure, you need to take that responsibility.

"While I'm in school, I think I'll get help with my work sometimes. Gratuities are offered. Think of me as a part-time job, take it easy.... It was Hiro who told me to skip. Let's just try to get them to work for that!

"That's good! Maybe I'll ask for something too!

"Yes! I accept! Dear Sophia!

"Still stiff!

"You really look like a soldier!

The first night about the new capital, stay nervous......

Still, he spent time smiling.
