I was thinking about his words as I stepped down the gravel road.
"Wake up as it happens, get involved as it gets involved".
And I don't think this is that Scott's word.
"... I don't know. War, what the hell...?
"Lazareth......"
"I'm sorry, I don't think Aruba said that either with the intention of hunting you down"
"... that's okay. I know that."
... maybe I know what that means somewhere in my mind too.
But my brain refuses to understand.
"I have to take part in the war that day".
How many times have you thought about it?
Of course, but the words were always kind to me.
Me as a magic teacher. Me as a doctor, mainly in medical magic.
It showed us so many possibilities.
But the word was something that would even smash those words to pieces.
It's like I'm in the war, the path to peace with the Demons, everything.
But I know the reason. You'll see.
It defies my will and brings my head.
That's when Alice put her hand on my shoulder.
"Mr. Lazareth. I'm sure your remorse may be much greater than what I think."
"... Mr. Alice"
"But now is not the time to think about war. I have to do what I can now. Do you understand?"
"... Yes"
She's right, she's not the one with the ears to listen to, even if she's arguing about the war now.
Then we go to a place called the Noel family as soon as possible, and we don't want to leave it to anyone in a more powerful position than we do.
As I walked down the gravel road, I was talked to by someone from behind by the lid.
"Oh, did you get the story together?
"... uh, what about you?
"I'm 'Mentila'. He is the one who will replace Mr. Alba. Nice to meet you."
Middle-aged people, characterised by a small fat brunette named Mentila, seek to shake hands with a more characteristic way of laughing.
... I don't care, but now I guess my oldest seat is gone.
"Uh. You know Mr. Alba, right? Come on, you don't have to be nervous. I know all about you."
"... how far do you know?
"Huh? Well, it's just the name."
... Is it really just a name?
Alice has a frightening look that leads to Sofia in a situation where she doesn't know what to say.
You noticed her like that, she broke her knee, laughed lovingly, and offered bread wrapped around a cloth.
"Oh, you want some bread? I'm not hungry. Eat if you like."
"Uh. I'm not hungry either, just how you feel..."
"Oh, well. Oh, yeah, that's great. I can't believe I can use proper respect."
That's what he tries to do with Sophia's head, but he hides behind my back.
... This guy is a good person himself, but his eyes, expression, and laughter are the soles of the kidnappers.
I feel sorry for the boulder and give out a help boat.
"Well, Mr. Mentila fits in with Mr. Aruba's replacement."
"Right. Shall we then, Lazares?"
Mentila invites you to take the lead.
I follow him like that, too, but two follow him one step after that.
I speak to those two with such a loud voice that he can't hear me.
"... hey, excuse me, both of you. Isn't he a very nice man?"
"I know, I know! Well, I don't know how to talk to you..."
Yeah, yeah, and nod, Sophia.
"What are you talking about? You've been talking to me without thinking."
"So, but! Boys and men would be different, wouldn't they?
"... well, I hear you. Uh, I'm sorry about that."
Mentila that obviously depresses me.
... I'm the only one on this guy's side no matter what.
I gently put my hand on his shoulder and nodded slowly.
We walked a while before we reached the little horse cabin off the town.
There was only one beautiful white horse that stood out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I make you wait? Then let's go."
After a gentle white horse, Mentila took him out of the cabin and bracketed the car outside to the horse.
... Sure, I told you the shape of this car is Kurt? I thought you said Alba's was a buggy.
This knowledge was taught before when I was at Bettenburg's house and I was just a little excited because Kurt was my personal favorite shape.
"Ya, you do go to the Noel family, don't you? I'll take care of it."
That's what Mentila told us, and then she rode on your stand.
I get in the car like that too, but after a little hesitation, the two of them get in with a snack.
I couldn't stop sighing when I saw them like that.
