There are several options for what to do here.

Should I leave her or help her, but I'm not thinking of letting the girl go.

Basically, I wanted to help, but I had a little problem doing that.

This is not the territory of our Farren family, but one of the free cities that belongs to the Free Cities Union.

That's why the former Duke of Farrence is able to buy and live on Trudd's land.

If it's Farren family land, you don't have to do that, you just have to hide a part of it.

And since this is part of the Free Cities Union, various nobles frequent it.

Normally, prior confirmation and formalities are required when entering the territory of other nobles, but this can take quite a while.

But as for the Union of Free Cities, even though nobles still need confirmation and formalities to enter, it is not as complicated as entering the territory of other nobles.

Especially nobles whose names are known can only be confirmed briefly.

For this reason, many aristocracy use Astaire as a summer resort and set up a villa, which is the problem here.

The ships that float around that drowning girl are all aristocratic, with a familiar crest shining.

The design, like the snake wrapped around the sword, belongs to the frontier Earl, the Earl of Okrus, north of the Farrens.

In other words, that drowning girl is his associate.

And from what you're wearing... it's highly likely that the Countess of Occlus is a young lady.

If the Duke of Farrence helps her like that, it's quite likely that there will be friction.

For example, if we can do more than we can help ourselves, or if the Okrus guards who allowed others to intervene are punished.

And those responsibilities can be pushed by the Farren family and even resented.

I was thinking about getting close to the girl...

"After all, it's not like I can't help you."

"Elaine!?

Clément opened his eyes to what he was going to do, but he passed by him to the edge of the ship and tried to cast a spell.

But unexpectedly, before my spell was completed,

"... uhh!

And I heard a voice from my feet, and I saw Sieg there.

With his full strength, dark light shines around his body, and it changes like a thin cloth and stretches into the lake.

And then...

- Zaban!

With that sound, the girl's body was lifted out of the water and lifted onto the deck of our ship… the Sophie.

"What was that...!?

The sailors are terribly surprised, but not now.

Hurry to the girl lying on the deck and check her awareness.

"You! You! I can't... I haven't heard back from you... and my breathing's stopped. Then, first... you keep calling this girl."

He nodded when he asked Clément to do so.

"Okay, but you..."

"I will resuscitate CPR... if you get tired, take my place."

Saying that, I compress the girl's chest.

It was magic, because it was difficult, and we should have followed the rescue method that the healer had spread later in the day.

Not at all impossible, but I know from experience that this is the most certain thing.

Compress your chest at a constant tempo and breathe in afterwards.

Repeating it for a while, the girl exhaled water during artificial respiration.

I thought I might get stuck in my throat, so I tried to build magic to get rid of it, but after coughing up a little, I started breathing and my complexion improved.

"... hah. Looks like you've managed...."

Apparently he was helped, so I understood.

Then he turned to Sieg, who looked anxiously behind me until now.

"Sieg, I know about this girl, but she saved me."

"Hahahhh... good. But... that was me..."

He seems to be purely happy about what he saved, but at the same time he is worried because he doesn't understand what he did.

Well, of course.

Something shadowy jumped out of the body and it saved the girl.

It's only natural to think what happened.

I just know who it is.

So I'll explain it to Sieg so that he understands it, but not in a very confusing way.

"Sieg, that's your magic."

"Majutsu...? But it's not like fire or dirt came out... that's usually the case, right?

"Oh, normally, it's a relatively large number. But there are quite a few people who can offer anything else. The hard way to put it is to say," Special Class Magic Holder. "

"Tokushimari....?

"You don't have to remember that yet. But I'm sure you are. Though I haven't studied it thoroughly yet, it's also something I'm studying. I'll check with my Uncle in the Magic Tower and see what I can do at that time. So don't worry about it."

"That's right....! I'm glad...."

"Besides, I was able to use such magic during that aggression. And it was a great way to use it. I helped people."

As he stroked his head with praise, Sieg smiled,

"Hy, it was a hiccup....."

and the face became red.

It's cute.

However, I had to put the nail on it, so I said it with a little serious voice.

"That's right... but I'm lucky this time. Magic is a force that can help people like this, but on the contrary, it can hurt them. You know that, right?

…… Yeah. "

"And the danger will increase if you don't use magic well on your own. So, Sieg. If you want to help people like you today, you need to study magic. Do not use magic without me, Clément, or adults while it is not in place. All right?

"Uh-huh... okay."

I don't know how far Sieg understands what I'm saying, listening to me with a serious face.

But I'm sure he will obey my words.

A firm expression of determination taught me that.
