Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

There was no re-raid that morning.

Waking up relieved, I snap after Princess Tsubaki calls me by Reggie and walks away, carrying the breakfast and soup I get right into my mouth.

"I wonder why... we won't talk"

If that's what Princess Tsu wants, I just have to shut up. But when I think of Reggie, who seemed to suffer about her mother, I wonder why.

"Isn't there something you can't tell me yet?

The master I was listening to, he responds to me blushing.

"Things..."

"You think it's a consideration that he would be better off not revealing his original name than treating him as a magician without consciousness? Or... unless we talk, we can delude ourselves that, as the Japanese said yesterday, it's magic that gives us a glimpse of the future. I thought it was easier to accept than to say it was back in the past."

With that much to say, the master continued with a laugh of "hihihihi".

"I just might not want to tell you that I'm your mother. Not a child who was to let go of force majeure when he was a child... I don't know what you think."

To that word, I thought I would be.

Even Princess Tsu managed to save Reggie. You'd want me alive, and you'd have missed me.

But for years...... for returning to the past, I lived more than twice that many years away, so maybe I got scared to name it.

I can't say I can't force myself to bend that feeling.

"But uhhhhhhhhhhh. You've been discussing this a lot calmly with the other parent you're socializing with?

"... ah!!

I'm still in a hurry.

You think Reggie's mother was thin? Maybe it was hard to be aware because Princess Tsu's appearance belonged to another girl named Effia.

"Master... the next time I looked at you, I got scared..."

Think about it, when Princess Tsubaki saw my memories, well... I got a little glimpse of that with Reggie, didn't I?

When I realize that, I hold my head more and more.

"Hihihihihihihihi"

Seeing me like that, my master kept laughing with pleasure.

Then, less than an hour later, came an unexpected report.

The Luein army pulled it off.

Reggie and Alan all of a sudden seemed suspicious about the movements of the Luainian army that did that.

But the Luainian army continued to act solemnly, eventually moving away from the castle of the Marquis of Shestina, moving the streets to the king's capital and out of sight.

This can't happen without just attacking.

Just there, came the army of Salehardo, which was lagging behind. Reggie placed Salehard troops on the road leading to King's Capital on alert for the Luainian army.

We, the Falgian army, have besieged the castle of the Marquis of Shestina.

And here again, you'll be surprised.

Count Patriciere sent me a letter stating that he was willing to surrender his knights and soldiers.

The condition was… that you wanted to talk one-on-one with me.

During the meeting where the generals were also gathered, I confirmed to Princess Tsu, who was present.

"Are you okay on this story......?

"No problem. I know what that man's trying to do."

"Are you looking at the future, too, about this?

Asked by Reggie, Princess Tsu nodded without changing her expression either.

"Patriciere was trying to make the sorcerer a deceased. Chiara the Sorcerer is the one who gets in the way of the Queen after this."

"But how...?

It was General Jerome who raised the question.

"I said goodbye to my parents and my children, and I asked for a dialogue. That's how I caught the magician's attention while talking in the tent I prepared. In the meantime, he spread in the tent the powder of the covenant stone Kakela"

"... you mean that. Not only will Chiara be affected, but the people who followed her will also be a means of attacking Chiara"

Alan snaps.

"Yep. Count Patriciere used sorcery to sand and collapse, but the tent burned because it was flaming sorcery. The person inside had to flee. The man outside could not come close to being a sorcerer until he was himself, because he would spread the damage. The Sorcerer and His Highness managed to save us, but we can't afford to get hurt... it will sound very much like the battle that follows."

Alan and the generals, who heard what would happen the whole way, roar.

"Perhaps Count Patriciere would use his forceful hand even if he normally refused."

To Reggie's words, Mrs. Beatrice, who was present, looked disgusted.

"I kind of guessed it. Even if you refuse to attack them all, won't the Count try to make the people beneath the castle a sorcerer's devil, Your Highness?"

"I think so too, aunt. I think it's better to think that the Earls of Patriciere have as many stones of contract as they can."

"Then you just have to decide between the demands you'll never be able to drink and the demands you'll be able to drink"

To Alan's words, Reggie nodded.

"You can let me meet with the magician, but I'll leave the setting of the place to you. Shall I present this request?"

The decision was executed promptly.

Soon the messenger leaves and throws this answer to Count Patriciere. Soon the Count said, 'Swallow your demands. but each other, up to five men present'.

Even though Reggie and the others seem to have come up with some other measure to the point that up to five people, there are only a few things Count Patriciere can do.

Once we decided to hit our hands with it, we set up a meeting place.

The tent is built by me in stone, covering only the top with cloth and the walls are gone.

The archers placed them away and kept them from standing on the windward side. It is a precautionary measure to sprinkle the sand of the stones of the contract.

The ones present with me are Mr. Cain and Lady Beatrice. Ask Mr. Felix and Reggie and Princess Tsu to stay where they won't go into the tent.

The truth is, it was supposed to be General Jerome present with me. Lady Beatrice, however, insisted that there should be royalty in order to alarm Count Patriciere, and decided to join.

"But Master Beatrice... you don't have to be in such a dangerous place"

I tried to persuade Master Beatrice repeatedly, but he didn't nod at me. I said under the tent I had just set up, trying to push another one.

"Please. I can't apologize to Alan if I'm going to lose your mother."

Then Master Beatrice laughed strangely.

"You're the most dangerous one, Chiara. But I can't keep you away because I've been named. And I won't be able to apologize to Reginald in case anything happens to you."

"..."

"In the first place, because I couldn't do much to Reginald..."

Master Beatrice gets lonely.

"I wanted to help that kid's mother, but I couldn't reach her. I still regret not being able to do something about it. That's why I don't want to lose her precious things."

I was aware of Princess Tsu on my side.

Princess Tsu is wearing a hood deep in her eyes to hide her figure and also hides her hair. I wonder what she thought when she heard about Master Beatrice......

It was Mr. Cain who slapped me in the back when I dropped my shoulder.

"You must concentrate on facing Count Patriciere."

Nod and look forward.

Just from a city in Chestina that looks far away, Count Patriciere was about to come.
