78 out of town




 As soon as they set out to meet up with Leeds and the others, they were able to do so with astonishing ease.

 The reason for this is mainly because of Milene, but it's not like they had a prearranged meeting place.
 It seems that one of the powers that Milene imitated was to be able to detect the presence of a wide area, and that's how she was able to locate the two of you.
 By the way, the reason why he was able to chase after Allen was because he used this power.

 Anyway, Allen, who was able to safely rejoin Rees and the others, told them what had happened.

...... What can I say, it's true that it's what I expected, but it's just as good as you are, Allen.
Absolutely. How you pulled off such a brilliant job of getting us into trouble. Am I going to be surprised if you think I'm doing this on purpose?
Rude. What good would it do me if I did that in the first place?
"...... If it's all a coincidence, would that be more awesome?
"Yeah. I think it's already a curse.

 It's none of my business, or if I could do something about it, I would do something about it.
 But for now, that's not what we need to talk about now.

The best thing to do is to be honest, and I would prefer it if Master Henriette would shelter me. The reason why I came here is not yet fulfilled. I'm not going to come back right away to ...... and do nothing for a few months, right?
I'm sure you're right: "Well ......, I think you'll be fine in ten days, frankly. They don't have that much time on their hands.
"I don't think I would have a problem with ...... for ten days. I'm afraid that not holding a hammer for ten days might make your arms a little dull, but if they get a little dull, you'll get them back soon enough.
"...... awesome confidence?
Well, I'm pretty good at saying that.

 At any rate, neither of you seem to have any problems.
 Then--

"I'll take care of you at ......, if that's okay?
"Well, it was our idea. You're welcome.

 That's what happened.

 And once it was decided, the rest was quick.
 Or rather, you need to act fast.

 According to Henriette, the longer time passes, the harder it will be to move.

But the confusion will subside as time goes by. At worst, it's going to be blamed on you guys too.
Are you referring to the man you say you encountered, Allen, who was holding a magical tool?
sir. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been in the news. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

 You will be able to find out more about the fact that you are able to get a lot more information on the subject.
 You will be able to use your power as an apostle in this world as well, so there's no reason for that level of information gathering.

I'm sure you've heard him mutter something about following that man. And also that it might be a diversion.
"The real damage was done by this one person, and it's not a big deal. The scale of the damage is not in proportion to what he did, so it is only natural to think so.
"You don't have to worry about that? You mean your family's territory, right?
"Unless it was a real diversion and caused some damage, I don't have to expose my hand in here.

 So Noel's eyebrows were raised because Henriette's words sounded like she knew everything.

 Nevertheless, since it is Henriette, she must actually know some things.
 And if you don't do anything on top of that, it's because you don't have to--

"Hmm ...... need some help?
"...... It's nice to have the feeling, but now you're the one that Henriette can help you with.
Well, now that you mention it, that's for sure.

 Shrug with a wry smile.
 For now, at least, I guess that means I don't need any help right now.

 While talking about this, Allen and the others came to the carriage station and climbed in.
 Fortunately, they hadn't gotten around to it yet, and they left without being disturbed.
 Once outside of the city, Allen couldn't help but let out a breath of relief when he saw that nothing had happened.

"It looks okay for now, right?
"Well, we don't have much to offer you yet. They're not that influential.
Oh really? ...... By the way, how long does it take to get to the mansion where you say Master Henriette lives?
Well, ......, if nothing happens, you can't get there today, right? It's going to be nothing but backwards from where we were going,
"Is there a village or something on the way?
"Hey, sir. From here to the town where the mansion is located, it's just a grassy field.

 Sure enough, when I looked out the window, all I saw was a field of grass.
 The reason why you don't see a single human being is probably because you are already at the last minute to move.

 As long as nothing happened, if something happened, you would have to spend the night on the road.
 Unless you are in a great hurry or have no other means, there's no need to move through the possibility of it.
 Normally, we wait for tomorrow, and it's only natural that there is no one else in sight except us.

...... So, the rest is up to Allen?
"No, why me?
"Because that's whether or not Allen attracts trouble, right?
I don't know if I can do anything about it.

 Well, even if something happened, it would not matter in most cases.
 It's not just Allen, but also Henriette.

 Even if Henriette can't (・・・・) wield (・・・・・・・) her power (・・・・) directly, Allen can still properly assist her.


 It would be more accurate to say that Allen is assisted, but it doesn't make a difference that he can do something about it.

In fact, I'm more concerned about whether it's okay for me to suddenly ask you guys for your house?
"Oh, that's not a problem, okay? Henriette is the only one who lives in the mansion.
"What ......? What does that mean ......
...... I don't know if you guys know that. Henriette's parents are long gone. I don't know much about Henriette, but she died in an accident a long time ago. The marquise is now owned by Henriette's uncle and his wife. The actual succession is in Henriette's hands, so it's only temporary.
It's ......

 Noel was about to say something, but he kept his mouth shut because he didn't think it would be amusing to say it.
 That means that the uncle and his wife are not living with Henriette, who has the actual right to inherit ...... well, maybe that's what happened.

 In the worst case scenario, it's even possible that Henriette's parents are supposed to have died in an accident.
 After all, it is the marquises.
 No wonder there was such a mess.

 But what is a little strange is that Henriette couldn't do something about it.
 I'm sure he was still a child at the time, but ...... even though he couldn't wield his power directly, there was a way.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not saying this, but we're a marquis. There's a lot going on. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them. ...... Henriette became the Henriette she is today when she was five years old.

 They didn't seem to understand the meaning of the latter half of the words, and they all nodded their heads, which was just as well.
 That's because it was the answer to Allen's question.

 And hearing that, Allen is convinced.
 The same as Allen (・・・・・・), that is.

 That's right, Allen also didn't have memories of his previous life from the beginning.
 Allen's recollection of his previous life coincided with his status evaluation.

 Or, if she had remembered her previous life's memories from the beginning of her life, she could have managed her mother and ...... the house might not have been like that.
 But all of that is to say that it is unavoidable.

 But in that sense, ...... Allen and Henriette might have more in common than you might think.

 I've been thinking about this for a while now, but the carriage keeps going without a break.
 I'm sure you've been wondering what will happen now as you watch the scenery drift by, wondering what will happen now, and then letting out a breath of air with all kinds of meaning.
