124. Mariel's Purpose
"Sister, sister! Wait a minute!
"Already... what's up, Chloe?
Reacting to Chloe's calling out voice, Mariel finally stopped her leg.
"What's the matter with you? I can't believe you suddenly need me... wasn't he the one who needed me!?
"No, I can't believe it's 'him' about my brother-in-law. Besides, Alta is Chloe's admirer... not Iris - she's an Iris escort and a teacher?
"And so is that story! Did your sister know?
"Ugh, we all know except Chloe."
"Hey, how come it's just me..."
"That's right. Chloe, you get grumpy talking about Alta, don't you? Consideration, consideration."
"Damn, that's... yeah..."
When Mariel tells me that, I can't argue with it.
Chloe does get grumpy when it comes to Alta.... but it's not like I don't want to hear anything.
"But he... he took the Bika Sword that your sister should have had? Besides, I just happened to see him at the forger, and he says he broke his sword too..."
"Fold it? You got a Bikai sword?
"Yes, it is! I need a sword from the Schweitz family."
"Well, well... that's not a good thing"
"! Hey, what's a good thing!? Bika Sword is a family heirloom!?
Chloe didn't understand Mariel's words after all. There was no way I could understand.
I broke my family heirloom - Chloe has never heard of the fact that that sword was broken, etc.
It's also taken out of the house in the first place, and a non-blood-born man is waving it. From Chloe's point of view, that's an exception, an anomaly. But Mariel answers with a gentle grin.
"Ugh, if Chloe aspires to be a 'swordsman' by admiring God Illis too, you know that. I'm not ashamed to be broken. Someone as powerful as that kid broke his sword - that must have been the only battle he couldn't give up. I thought I was a kid who didn't fight like that, so I'm glad."
"Hey, what's that..."
Mariel looks sincerely happy - no, I guess she's actually happy.
It's something Chloe doesn't understand, but Mariel is happy, rather than angry, with the fact that she was broken Bikaa sword.
That's right. Chloe, who was also wondering if Mariel would be angry about the matter, is upset and speechless.
Even against Chloe like that, Mariel talks at her usual rate.
"I'm not that angry. We're in the King's Landing, so we need to have more fun, right? Why don't we do some sightseeing?
"... my sister will be gone as soon as she takes her eyes off, so we'll be together"
"Ugh, yeah? Then let's go together."
Try to pull Chloe's hand, and Mariel walks out.
"Hey, he said he couldn't hold hands here..."
"If you take your eyes off me, Chloe will soon be gone."
"I don't want to be told that only by my sister."
"Ugh, I'm kidding. Come on, let's get some business done."
"An errand, where are you going?
"Oh, didn't I tell you?
Mariel stopped to pitch again and looked back. And
"The Knights of the Black Wolf Knights." - You're going to meet Alta's superior officer?
Yes, I said so.
