The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"... you must be gone already."

"Oh, I'm going to miss you. Be sure to come here again. No, we might be the first to visit."

That's what Rolf and Sophie said to us with a lonely look.

We are, I mean, me and Clément, and Siegfried.

Siegfried's grandparents, Rolf and Sophie's trad, were taken care of for some time, but the day was approaching when they had to return to the Duke of Farrence and King's Land to work.

And we can't go straight back from here, we have to greet the people who were taken care of by Astaire once.

We don't have much time to stay here.

However, this is not an eternal goodbye.

Unlike before, Rolf and Sophie got along a lot, and visiting us like this would be more than just a social resignation.

Cleman and Siegfried want it, and I'm glad to hear it.

That's why I'm not so sad...

"Uu, Grandpa, Auntie...!

Sieg hugs Sophie and Rolf in front of a carriage waiting in front of the main gate while tears accumulate in her eyes.

After all, it was quite painful to say goodbye to my first grandfather, Mayuba, when I was born.

And it's the same with our grandparents, and it's like having them cry.

"Ah, Sieg. We're sad too... but I'm sure you'll see us soon, so please wait."

"Really? Will your grandfather and aunt come?

"Yes, I'm sure you will. I'll take a lot of trad fish with me then. Recently, food conservation technology has also improved considerably thanks to some chambers of commerce. I think I can bring fresh products, so I look forward to it."

Sophie looked at me like I was in some kind of chamber of commerce.

I pulled into the countryside and wasn't familiar with urban information. For the two of them who said such things, they also grabbed my movements quite a bit.

I guess I didn't say much because I was still vigilant.

And there was no particular time to mention it after it was solved?

They were the people who kept a close distance from me the other day.

Well, those two have stopped by this time, so let's do it.

"Well, it's really time to go. Sieg, look."

Cremant put his hand on Sieg's shoulder and quietly walked away from his grandparents without wasting time.

Then the servant prompted him to take the carriage.

Clément told Rolf and Sophie,

"Well then, we're both fine. Well, I don't have to tell you, I'm fine."

"I've given up the throne and lived pretty healthy. You should stay healthy. Do your job, don't break your body at night."

"Don't cheat on me. Some people say it's a noble preference, but I won't allow you to betray Elaine."

"... don't end with a line that's kind of anxious, both of you. Well, I'll take care of it. Bye."

Clément rode in the carriage and ended up with me.

"Thank you both very much for your help this time. I was able to say hello for a long time, and you did well during your stay... how can I thank you?"

When I say so, Rolf smiles,

"Don't worry about it. We didn't expect to be like this with you until a while ago. But we were on alert, and they narrowed our distance from you... and we wanted to thank you."

"Rolf's right. And you made me realize that you had such a lovely daughter. I had fun with my grandchildren... and I'm really glad. I wonder if you're worried enough to pray that Clément doesn't cheat."

"It's okay about that. I may be exaggerating to say that Cremant doesn't deserve that, but I know that he will take care of me..."

"... do you believe me?

Sophie kept saying that with a warm smile, so I tried to nod, but I thought it was different, and when I realized it, I said another word.

"... no. I know, mother-in-law."

Yes, I know.

Whatever happens, no matter if I go straight down the path of darkness, Clément will never let go of my hand and follow me everywhere.

It may be unhappy in a way.

I wonder if it's not right.

But....

For me, no one can deny that Cremant is the best husband.

The other day, I used him because I was so sweet to Cremant.

But that's why I would never do that this time.

I'm sure I'll make him happier than anyone else.

That's what I meant.

"Knowing is another strange expression, but I was told it would be a much better word to know Cremant than to believe. I'm really glad you married Cleman. I'll see you again, Miss Elaine."

"Yes, stepmother. And your stepfather."

"Ah... I'd like to thank you for your case. I have no idea when it will be, but I appreciate you contacting me at that time."

About the case, that is, the Black Dragon.

I nodded.

"There's no doubt about that. Now, if you'll excuse me both."

That's how I got into the carriage.

A slow-moving carriage.

Our family kept waving back to Rolf and Sophie across the window.
