I was taken by Mariarette and pulled Lisette's hand and ran down the snow path.
Anything, King Peswen seems to have agreed to this escape, but many disagree with this opinion.
Therefore, it seems impossible to travel in a conspicuous person such as a carriage.
Instead, we were given some cold gear as we left the castle from Marialette.
Hats and coats with fur. And shoes.
Especially since the shoes can be worn from the top of the shoes we were wearing, they are highly cold resistant inside.
Apart from that, Lisette was given a cute bear muffler.
Running through for a while, I hit a snow-covered forest.
Lisette, who was suddenly grabbing my hand, stopped as Marialette, leading the way, tried to enter the snow forest.
"... beautiful"
"Huh?"
"Ah, there it is. Here..."
At the tip of her finger was a look at the sun trying to get her face out of the snow.
The sunlight lit up the snow and the bright light reached my eyes.
"... that's amazing"
I'm overwhelmed by the sight as I breathe.
That's when the silver-covered chocolate is handed to me by Marialette.
"Let's take a break. Let's go with the girl."
"... okay?
"Oh. If you get this far, you won't be chasing the opposition either. And..."
She reached over to Lisette's head, talking to her uncle, and squeaked her head as she did.
When Lisette holds that hand down with both hands, she is handed the same chocolate that Mariarette gave me.
"Take care of the change of heart. One day the experience will be a great asset"
"... Yes!
Lisette cheeks on her mouth the chocolate she gets from her and she can flaunt her face like it really tastes good.
Words spill out of her mouth at Marialette smiling at her like that.
"... you're so sweet"
"I am a researcher at the same time as a developer. Don't be abusive about my research materials."
"Research materials?
"Oh. The movement of a person's mind is a trivial thing in an instant. But we don't have the power to express the movement of our minds."
"... eh?
"I want to know how to describe those things. I make boneless things like weapons, but at the same time I want to understand people's minds."
"Then you should be a psychologist, right? How did you end up in weapons development?
"Death."
She turns back in the direction of the sun.
I was staring at her side like that.
"When a person's mind fluctuates most intensely. That's when people die right in front of you. Fear, agitation, and, joy. A lot of emotions are stuck in that moment"
"... oh"
I know.
I've been killed in front of people who want to protect me.
At that time, I would have been so upset that I couldn't help myself.
"But don't get me wrong. I am not interested in death itself. It's nothing but the death of a person. This means there's no room for research."
"... right"
I stare into her clear eyes and cheek the chocolate I was given.
Sweet.
Maybe the process of making it contains sugar.
"... Speaking of which, where did you get the chocolate? You don't even grow raw materials here, do you?
"It's imported. from Mactoria. This country relies on imports from Mactoria."
"Really?
"Oh. But sweet things are precious in this extremely cold land. In that way, Mactoria saved us."
That's what she says, she smiles at this one.
... Her tone is adult, but these places are bad for her heart because she looks like a girl.
"I see, quite interesting"
"... what?
"I'm still not familiar with that emotion. In that respect, you're going to be a good experimental material."
"So what?
Marialette, who doesn't answer my question and starts to fumble into things while nibbling at something.
... you look like a poor, beautiful girl. So her grin is bad for her heart.
That's when Lisette, who was ahead of me when I turned a blind eye, turned away from me.
"... brother"
"Hmm? What's wrong?
"It's nothing. I'm coming!
Lisette suddenly gets up and walks straight into the woods.
Mariarette looks at her like that, and her mouth angle goes up even further.
"... I see. Really funny."
"So what is it?
"No, you're really funny. You might have been right to bring you here."
That's what Mariarette says, laughing high and chasing after Lisette.
I ran after her after such a one-tempo delay.
After walking until the sun began to shine over our heads, there was clearly less snow from halfway through the woods.
The temperature is getting warmer and warmer, and I no longer need the coat I was wearing earlier.
I put that coat down on my arm and chasing Mariarette walking forward, and she tells me this without turning around.
"... Well, good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear?
"... from the good news"
"Congratulations, gentlemen. I've got Isel."
"But this isn't Isel, it's Forse."
... I didn't know what she was talking about for a moment.
But after a while I thought about it, I understood the meaning of the word. I understand.
"... No way, Isel fell?
"Exactly. You should take a look."
Marialette holds her finger as she hides herself in a nearby bush.
In that direction, men in strange armor were stationed, not the Knights led by Zahr.
"It's hard to believe that the Sage's Law has nothing to do with them."
"... No way, like Isel four years ago, when Forse?
"Come on? I don't know much about what I did four years ago."
"Ah, ah..."
Lisette is either from too much shock or has a lump as she leaks her voice.
I suppress her hips like that and carefully scrutinize their trends.
At that time, at their centre, masked men, like those who were with Nicolai, were giving them orders as commanders.
"... Forse!
"Calm down. You're carrying a pair of hands right now. Even if you're tough enough to destroy, you won't win this battle difference."
Marialette includes herself tightly in her legs and stops me, but there's no way she can keep my anger down.
... No, it's not. I've felt this feeling before.
By a woman manipulating the power to amplify her emotions, this emotion.
"... Dalia!
I can't contain that emotion and try to jump out of the bush and stick a dagger at them.
That's when the wall of flames stood up, blocking it between me and them.
"... Lazareth, that emotion is not yours"
"Zahr......!
"But the only thing that makes me think of Isel is me."
A zar appeared suddenly in front of me, burning down the Folce soldiers as they were, chopping off the masked human neck.
And keep lifting my body up and running back to the bush where I popped out.
"... Sofia has already evacuated the people to Mactoria. I'm the only one left here who served as my lord."
"What about the poor?!?
"Now Sophia is the only one who can take command, thanks to Forse's raids. Those who now have absolute rights on the battlefield are Sofia again."
"... well"
... Otherwise, people like Alice will come out again.
Such a sad thing, I don't want it to happen anymore.
"... what about this guy?
"Oh, this kid is Lisette-Partridge. And this one..."
"My name is Marilette Crescent. He's a friend of Lazareth's."
I couldn't hide my surprise from Mariarette, who openly answered that.
But right now Peswen and Isel can't be a good relationship. I guess I can't say I'm connected to Peswen here.
"... my name is Zahr. There is no last name. It's not a good place to be born."
"Nice to meet you. Well, what are you gonna do now?
"Heading to Mactoria. What are you gonna do? Peswen."
... to Zahr's words, a moment seemed to have stopped.
But only Mariarette smiles invincibly and glances into his glasses.
"Whatever, I'll do the same. Lazareth may be your friend, but he's also one of my men."
"... subordinates?
"... because I'll explain that again"
Zahr rises the Great Sword in lieu of his wand and, just saying, "Okay," he runs out in the direction of Mactoria.
We followed him, too, after the place.
