As he watched the girl walk away, Allen let out a breath.

　It was a relief to have avoided the blatant nuisance in the first place.

"No, thank you for the help--Mirene.

　Turning to look next to her, the brown girl nodded her head.
　If Allen alone, the situation could not have been avoided so smoothly.

　It's not a fundamental solution, and it doesn't seem to be completely avoided yet, but ...... it's enough to buy some time for the time being.

So how did you get here?

　She was just about to be taken away when Allen realized she was nearby, and he was about to make up his mind that he was going to have to take her in.
　He casually searched for signs of his surroundings, which had become a habit, and noticed that there was a familiar presence there.

　Even though I didn't know how I got there, I immediately understood what Milene was intending to do.
　I'm well aware of Milene's abilities, and it was unintentionally the most peaceful way to pass the moment.

　It's not a solution, but at any rate, it's likely to become a problem.
　Then there is no reason not to go along with it.

　Meanwhile, Milene appeared, and Allen gave a small nod of his head, just enough to keep the girl from noticing.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world," he said.

It's a good thing that Noel and Leeds are in some kind of trouble anyway because of ...... Allen.
"And that's why you came after me?

　The nodding of his head is accompanied by a wry smile.
　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

　But now we have more work to do before that.

　Earlier, Allen succeeded in distracting the girl's attention for a moment, but that was actually a half coincidence.
　The fact is that the surprise itself is a fact--

You really are the same as always. How can you get yourself into so much trouble?

　A voice mixed with dismay came from ahead.
　It was the direction that Allen and the others had been eyeing all along, and soon after, a figure appeared from the corner of the passage.

　The figure you recognize is undoubtedly Henriette herself, who has just left.

That being said, I'm not really interested in getting involved. I mean, I thought you walked away.
I was going to, but then I came back because you were about to be involved in something weird. Well, maybe you didn't have to.
No, I didn't. In the end, though, I was able to distract her attention, if only for a moment, because she was surprised by your appearance.

　So, the reason for Allen's surprise was because he saw Henriette at the end of the passage.
　You are going to be able to find out the best way to get a good deal more about this.

"So, well, I thank you as well.
It's a good thing that you have a good reason to be thankful, because after all, you didn't even do anything. ...... It would be more helpful if you could tell the guy next to you to let his guard down.　I don't enjoy being stared at,
"As much as I'd like to do that ......, I think that's just the way it is, isn't it?

　The fact that Henriette shrugged her shoulders at those words could mean that she knew.

　Just as Henriette said, indeed, Milene has been staring at Henriette ever since she showed up.
　There is tension and also caution.
　It's not like you don't remember what you've just seen, which is normally excessive.

　But at the same time, it was natural.
　Because ever since she appeared here, Mirene has been disappearing.
　That's why Milene didn't notice her, and the reason why Allen was able to escape so easily is because she made him disappear too.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.
　You will be able to get a good idea of what you are looking for.

　You're going to be able to find out what you're going to be able to do with it.

It is true that there is no need to be alarmed, Milene. She's not the enemy, and I'm not ...... aware of this situation, can I?　It's just that we do something similar to that.
"............ Okay.
"Convinced?
"...... is that there's a lot of bullshit around Allen.
I'm not as good as that guy. I mean, I'd be too scared if there was any other bullshit as good as him.
"...... it sure?
"Can you not hit it off in a weird way?　Well, anyway, ...... so if you bothered to show up, that means you still have things to do, right?

　If you just want to help the girl who just came in, there's no need to show up like this.
　You will be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
"Hmm?　Yes, I was actually thinking of staying until the very last minute, but ...... I'm thinking that I'll have to return to the kingdom as expected after all this time.　For some reason, it didn't seem like he was just a patrolman or something. I think it's best to pull back for now.
It's a good thing that you're able to make such a good decision with such a thing, but ...... is still a bit naive. You can't blame me for that.
"I mean?
Perhaps by the time you guys are about to retreat, the roads on the kingdom side will be blocked off?
"What ...... can do that?

　You can't complain about it when it comes to war, even if the land is ruled by a marquis.
　You can't complain in the event of a war, and even if you are the land's ruler, you can't do it so easily.

　It's impossible to do it on your own unless you're under exceptional circumstances, and even if you did, you'd have to get permission from the state.
　There's no way it could be done so quickly.

That's what they could do. They are completely independent of power. They can do most things on their own, and the Empire will just cut them down when the need arises.
I feel like if you cut them off, if other countries say it doesn't matter, that's it, right?


That's exactly what the Empire wants, and I'm sure you know what the Empire's ultimate goal is. I'm sure you know what the Empire's ultimate goal is, don't you?
...... If you think it's going to be a war, you're in luck. It's still a very messy country.
There's no way to deny it.
But what's the benefit of doing that even if you could?　The point is, I'm just being suspicious, right?
"The situation is the way it is now. You can't leave that much to chance, right? Especially since there are things that must not be divulged to the kingdom side.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good idea of what to expect.
　It's just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on some of the things that you'll be able to do.

So, does that mean you're going to do something about it?
"I can't do anything about them, okay?　As I said, we are independent of power. It's just that it will be impossible for you to stay in the city if you don't do something about it. ...... Well, I just came to suggest that we can hide you in our home for a while.
"Hmm ...... I see.

　That's a nice way of saying thank you.
　But it's not a necessity.
　If you can't use the road, it's going to be tough to get out with Milene's invisibility, but there are other ways, such as Allen's use of transference.

　You're going to be able to get the best out of it.
　And, of course, the way he talks, Henriette seems to know what's going on in the empire right now.

　It's not that important to Allen, but to Leeds, it's not - it's just a matter of time.

...... By the way, one thing I'd like to ask you, didn't you tell me to get the hell out of here?
That was before you got involved. As long as you're about to get involved, there's nothing you can do about it.

　It seemed like a reason and not a reason, but Allen nodded again to understand.
　It's best not to get involved, but if you do, you'll have to wait and see.
　Henriette is Henriette and she has her own agenda, I guess.

　I'm still not sure what that might be, but I couldn't think of much of a reason to reject it .......
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

　You'll be able to find out the best way to get a good deal more about the company.

The best thing to do is to have a discussion with Rees and his team to see if they can help you out. ...... If that's the case, there's a good chance you'll be in good hands.
"...... I see. Well, you can do what you want with Henriette, either way.
I will.

　Allen smiled at the sight of them turning away, telling him to do what he wanted, but now he wondered how he would explain to them.
