Sylvie Reiglaf.

He is the man of the Reiglaf family who hits my mother's family home, and the daughter of my mother's sister, Olga.

In addition, he is a current saintess and a man who takes the helm of this country with the pope.

In practice, national politics and the like are mainly conducted by the pope and church organizations, and it is basically necessary for the saintly lady to perform important events and ceremonies in the church.

So it was a little different that Sylvie ruled this country, but it was certain that he was still a very powerful man.

Nevertheless, she and I are in a cousin relationship.

The ages are almost the same, which is why the age of the children does not change much.

And as I look back on the past, I also have a relationship with her in which I contested my position.

She was definitely at the center of the events that led me to lead a very tortuous life the previous time.

Because of her, I would say that the story would be a little different again, or because I now think that she will not be wrong, but that it will be my personal problem.

However, there was still a point where we were quite proud of each other, and there was no doubt that it was a subtle relationship.

That's probably why Sylvie's expression.

However, now that we are carrying our country on our backs, we cannot interact poorly.

It is impossible to ignore each other's existence.

Then, as cousins I had not seen for a long time, I had no choice but to act intimate.

It may be said to be some kind of hell.

"... are you really happy? But you haven't contacted me in a while."

Sylvie says that in a way that resembles me.

I couldn't tell from the expression what kind of emotions were swirling inside her chest.

Suspicion, indifference, slander, or otherwise.

Her face resembles my face and makes a cold impression at first sight.

The color of her hair is also silver that lives in our house... but hers was a little dark.

Also, the color of my eyes is quite clear red, but hers is dark red... close to black.

After all, I felt that Sylvie might have thicker blood in her parents' home.

"And that's why..."

Well, there was nothing I could do about that.

I respond to Sylvie's slightly perceptive dialogue because of my predictions.

"That's not each other. Besides, I couldn't reach you because I was so busy being a saint. I hear it's just information you can get from a neighboring country, but it's a lot of work... but you can't let my letters get in the way, can you?"

This is not necessarily a lie, and it was common sense that the work of the saintly lady is very difficult.

In the Holy Land, the five sanctuaries, the saints who shall purify their lands, shall travel throughout the years.

That is why, historically, we have not been deeply involved in the heart and politics of the country, and we have mostly lived with that role as the mainstay.

It is not uncommon to be involved in politics after retiring from the church, and it is not uncommon to aspire to the position of episcopate.

In fact, Sylvie's mother, Olga, is apparently doing various things for the status of the Holy Pope right now, according to information from our [Shadow].

It's a neighboring country, and the Reiglerf family's intelligence organization is among them, so there's not much detailed information coming in...

In any case, it was unusual for Sylvie to show her face in such a place because she was in such a position.

Do we have time for that now?

Sylvie excuses herself for noticing my gaze.

"... the other day, I purified the sanctuary near the sacred city." I took her out of the academy to show her to her daughter Anna. But since it's over, I just brought her home... and then I'll say hello to the dean. Then you will be there. I'm surprised. "

I heard that and I think I see it.

This time, Anna, the girl I was asked by Curaine.

I wonder how much Sylvie knows about this, but she probably doesn't know anything.

From Sylvie's point of view, Anna's ability as a saintess... that is, if she knew that she did not have the power of purification, she would be in trouble in many ways.

Even if there is a possibility, if you know people who come to investigate for that reason, you will be ruled out in advance.

At the time I was surprised by my appearance, I should have thought I didn't know anything yet.

Or, even if you knew, you could not sabotage it by turning backwards.

Like I said, the saintly lady is very busy.

On top of that, political power is not that great, and that kind of manoeuvring is not an easy position.

This is why it may be thought that I came to see the situation by acting surprised.

I wouldn't mind leaving Anna to someone else if I were to send her to the academy.

Thinking of it that way, it's impossible to tell how far she knows.

I think it's on hold around here.

Think about it, and I'll tell Sylvie.

"That's how it was." I'm listening. They say she's the next saint. "

I thought this might be an unnecessary dialogue.

After all, it was a story that hasn't been conveyed inwardly.

But in this irregular situation, I wanted to see her react.

"If there's anything you think about..."

Thinking of it that way, Sylvie smiled unexpectedly,

"There's a story like that, but it's not something I can do." Whether or not the power of Purification resides is up to the Lord alone. "

This was a bit of an unexpected dialogue.

I ask.

So, you don't mind if Anna doesn't become a saintess?

Otherwise, your future will change a lot.

That's what I thought, but Sylvie's expression didn't change.

"... yes. I would be glad if you could, but... just because it didn't make a difference doesn't mean anything." Just like when I was with you. "

That word brings back memories I once had.

That's right.

I fought this Sylvie and her seat.

I felt like I had that power in me for a while.

"But that's because of my imagination..."

I said to Sylvie, smiling bitterly, recalling my former stupid self.

"... yes. You can be happy if you don't have to." You and I are having a good time right now. It wasn't like that back then, though. "

"You blew it, didn't you? I'm glad....."

Unexpectedly, Sylvie's words sounded genuine.

"I'm so relieved..."

It must be because I looked too surprised.

Sylvie's expression seemed a little interesting.

What, shouldn't I worry about my cousin I haven't seen in a long time?

"No, that's not true." But... well, to be honest, you and I weren't that close, were we? That's why I was surprised. "

"... even though the headmaster is listening, I'll be honest with you... but that's true." However, in the end, it was only because of [Selection]. In the other part... I don't think it was a bad relationship. I don't hate you, do I? "

"I want you to say you like it there... but I feel the same way." Sylvie, I don't seem to hate you either. Hey, if you have a moment, would you like a cup of tea in the near future? I need to talk to you. "

"That's good." Usually, it's hard to go around the Holy Land and other countries, but nowadays, it's just a coincidence that I have time. I'll be in touch soon, so let's have a cup of tea together. I have a lot to talk about. Recently, I've heard a lot about it. Istward's Duchess of Farrens was a fairly skillful man, and as a sorcerer, he was a peak. I'm not that frightened about magic, so I want to talk about it. "

"It's kind of embarrassing to know that such a story is spreading in the Holy Land."

If Istward was in Japan, I had no idea that the story had been conveyed so far in the Holy Land.

I thought that something had been conveyed, but I thought that it would be a little exaggerated.

This includes Sylvie,

"I don't have time to enumerate things like defeating dragons, inventing high-performance magic tools one after another, or publishing a number of magic theories." I wanted to ask myself which one is true. It's just that I'm also a cousin. "

Apparently, she looked much more like mehr than I remembered.

I'm going to say something funny like that.

I nodded bitterly to her words without malice.



"... hmm, I'm surprised you've been so close to the Saints of Japan. No, I knew she was definitely my cousin..."

After Sylvie left the dean's office, the dean of this room, Simon Angel, finally opened his mouth.

No, Sylvie responded to her greeting as she was leaving the room, but it was only a courtesy.

I am talking to you normally now.

However, I felt a little uncomfortable with his words and said.

"Hello, I'm not used to honorable language." It's okay if you talk to me so that I can talk to you easily. There are only two of us here. "

Simon Angel of the Holy Nation is known in the future as the head of the Order of the Holy Knights.

My impression of him is nothing but luxury, and the feeling of being a mercenary is stronger than being a Paladin.

In fact, it seemed that there was not as much faith as before, and I remember that the Paladin had not often planned or acted on maneuvers that he would not have taken first.

But that's why it was a pretty troublesome person for me, and that's why I remembered.

Well, even then, I didn't have much chance to get in touch with the Holy Nation. I was not good at actively engaging with the Holy Nation itself, so even in my previous life, my involvement was weak.

It felt like I had to be involved within the scope of Lilly's relationship with the demon race, the demon nation, etc.

Anyway, Simon laughs at my words.

"Well, are you sure you want to say that?" Unlike the nobles in your country, I'm a helpless person who really lacks courtesy. "

Indeed, if you are an Istvorian nobleman, you will not be disrespected if I say this to you.

However, I have never been so dependent on the words of others from before.

Of course, if necessary... I feel the need to say a sacrament in front of His Majesty the King or during some kind of ceremony, or in such a case, with a firm wording, but in other occasions it would be ok to be ad hoc.

This feeling came as I got used to commanding warriors in various places and interacting with bad guys with dark mouths behind them.

It also has something to do with running away from many enemies and getting deeply involved with the civilians and talking to each other.

The point is, I'm the one who's almost lost my aristocratic pride.

Compared to me in my twenties, I can say that I already have a completely different mental structure.

So I guess.

Sylvie and I were able to talk to each other.

I don't know whether her attitude was really from the beginning or whether she was acting forcefully because she felt something.

However, in the past, my heart did not stand as crisply, and it felt like it was the same on the other side.

I thought that the relationship between people might be something that would not change without first changing from myself before the other person.

And that's why I say to Simon.

"I don't mind." I know you want to be careful in public, but... if you leave it in a place like this, you don't have to worry about anything. "

"... haha. I see. All right. But you're a funny guy, aren't you? My neighbor told me the duchess was coming, so I thought it would be a hassle... but it might be more fun than I thought. Whoa, you don't mind my tone, either."

"... that's what you thought." Well, if I were in your shoes, I might have thought of it that way. Well then, isn't my job as an instructor much expected? "

The ostensible purpose of my visit here is to teach my children about short-term study and my research content.

However, if it was thought to be like the Doraemon of Our Lady, it should be considered that there are not many such expectations.

And Simon nodded,

"Yeah. Not just me, but the professors and students at this academy." For the time being, I've advertised to attract a wider audience, but there are fewer of them than I thought. You can't hear a lot of stories, you put the name of the guy who paid the money on the edge of the research work, or something like that. Well, in addition to that, there are many people who think it would be a bad idea to approach the Duchess and be executed. You don't have much work to do. "

"... I don't know if I should be happy or sad." But I'm here to make sure you understand my area of expertise. Is it okay if I make an effort to do that? "

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"I see... let's start by spreading the usefulness of Special Attribute Magic." I heard there was a labyrinth on the property, but can I use it? "

"I see. That's good."
