"... he's gone already, but I wonder if he's okay..."

Under the blue sky, it was the Countess of Berta Okrus who whispered in the courtyard of the Okrus family's villa.

In the courtyard, Belta's daughter Irina and my son Sieghart are having fun.

Irina is four years old and Sieg is three years old, so the play is not very advanced, but the mind is relieved to see it.

Specifically, they make something out of sand, chase maids, and so on.

Sieg and Irina have started hand brushing and don't feel a bit nasty as children of nobility, but in the future, they need to acquire magic and martial arts, so it is also necessary to introduce them to such rough things.

So it's not bad...

With that in mind, I react to Berta's words.

"I think it's okay. Clément is a bit unreliable, but Berta's husband is confident that he won't beat anyone in the force. Isn't it?

The shattered tone is because I got along with Berta better than yesterday.

I know empirically that distance will not shrink forever unless it is shrunk first, so it feels as packed as possible.

Still, there are quite a few prostitutes who are uncomfortable or suspicious of being too distanced, but Belta kept a fairly friendly attitude towards me, as if she had helped her daughter.

"I hope so... but no matter how big it is, it's a ghost fish after all. If it's a giant earth dragon or something like that, I'm worried about the boulders."

"Whatever it takes, I don't think there's any big stuff around here... but Irina's not really scared of Sieg. Even though I was saved, it was done by a force I didn't know, so it's not strange to be a little scared as a child."

In fact, the people helped by the magic division's mighty magic are far too scared to enumerate.

When the Knights save, it's not that much because they see easy-to-understand force, such as swords and spears, but for the sorcerer system, it's often bad and scary because of the use of invisible force.

Belta answers with a smile, whether or not she knows what I mean by that.

"Of course Irina is only four years old. Normally, you were either scared or scared...."

"Why not?

"It's going to be easy. Your son... didn't Sieg-sama look very attractive? For a woman, especially a noble woman, the future marriage partner is one who has a high rank and strength and who loves herself firmly. Elaine, you seem to have won the bet...."

"Fortunately. It just took me a long time to realize."

Yes, it took decades.

There's so much time you won't notice if you don't die.

But it's hard to deny Cremant's deep affection for me when I come back.

I also value Cremant, and I can say that my marriage to him was a very successful marriage of nobility.

Irina and Sieg... I don't think the relationship in that sense has been built yet, but there's no doubt that they're getting along.

I've been holding hands and smiling at each other for a long time, and it feels really funny.

I wonder if Belta feels the same way.

"Elaine said she didn't realize you were the only one she seemed to see. Looks like you're pretty good....."

In this case, the equivalent would mean quite a terrible thing.

I cannot deny this.

I shook my head to the side.

"There was something else I wanted to see. In that case, I couldn't afford to pay much attention to my husband's love. But I always felt the love of my husband..."

This is true.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have hesitated to sacrifice my family on the way.

But looking at the reality, I was surprised that no one sacrificed their family.

There were certainly several scenarios where sacrifice was more efficient.

But I couldn't do that.

Because my family was important to me.

I don't know why, but... I still think the answer is simple and easy.

I mean, because I was important to my family.

And that still hasn't changed.

There are some parts that are quite different in nature from the previous time, but the essence is still the same.

In the sense that I can risk my own life for them.

"You love me more than I thought. Elaine, I envy you."

That's what Berta said.

"Berta, so will you and Nicolai."

I told you.

It just doesn't seem as embarrassing to me.

"Oh, does that look like it? Yes, Nicolai is lovely...."

And I felt like something would start from there, so I decided to change the subject separately in a hurry.

"Speaking of which, Irina doesn't seem to be stable about magic either...."

Irina and Sieg were not just playing, but were also taught some training.

Martial arts can cause problems if Okrus and Farren are injured while they are in the same place, so magic alone is separated....

Irina had a lot of talent for me.

But Belta shook her neck sideways.

"No, Irina doesn't have much magic talent. Since the magic bias is small, so is attribute magic....."
