Watching the scenery drift by, Allen let out a breath.

　The scene is familiar, but only slightly different.
　The reason it differs from the one you remember is that it flows in the opposite direction and is one person less than the one you remember going to .......

　It was in that carriage on its way to Laurus.

...... Mr. Allen, are you sure it's, you know, a good idea?

　And as I was gazing out the window, I was approached by a reserved voice.

　Turning my gaze, I saw Leeds with a caring expression on her face, and I couldn't help but smile.
　It seems that I let him care for you.

"I care too much. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　So you don't have to worry about it, I shrug my shoulders, but apparently you can't switch so easily.
　The same is true for Noel and Milene, if you look at them side-by-side.
　As usual, they were too good-natured girls.

　Really, Allen doesn't care so much about them anymore.
　I was there when and where I was there, and I'm done with it.

　--The story that Henriette told to Allen and the others right after she returned to the elven forest is one that I've heard before.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

　Of course I asked him why, and he gave me an answer.
　But it was quite unexpected because ...... Henriette said it was because the blockade of the road was over.

　You will be able to find a lot more than just a few of the most popular items of clothing.
　You will be able to find out the best way to get a good deal more about the particulars of the particulars.
　It is also for the capture of the demon that assassinated the emperor.

　It was for that reason that he was given permission to do such things as blockade the roads.
　Furthermore, Allen has heard of those who were responsible for it.
　The reason why he knew about the Kuro Wolf Knights was because he heard about it then.

　And the end of the blockade of the road also tells us a fact.

　The demon who assassinated the emperor has been captured.

　Although I didn't hear this explicitly from Allen, nor did Henriette affirm it, there's no doubt in Henriette's tone.
　I'm not sure what that has to do with the fact that the ...... is because this case is so stinky.
　I'm sure you'll agree with me about that.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It's more convincing if you say it's a bluffing strategy to catch them off guard.

　But according to Henriette, the blockade of the road has definitely been lifted and the Kuro Wolf Knights who were stationed in Laurus have already retreated.
　At least there is no obstacle to return to the kingdom from now on.

　And that's exactly why Henriette told him to go home.
　In short, it's obviously stinky and you should leave before you get into any more trouble.
　You can still go home without any problems now.

　With a straight look in her eyes, and a face that shows she is seriously concerned about you, Henriette tells you this and then--

...... But if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have chosen to leave, would you?

　I looked away from Noel's words because he was right.
　There was one way to follow Henriette's words, and another way not to.

　The reason for disobeying was obviously that Henriette was hiding something.
　If you talk about it, it will affect your decision-making, and it will affect you.
　You will be able to find out what exactly it is, but you can easily imagine the extent of it ......, so you could disobey.

　But in the end he didn't do so because he chose the Leeds team after thinking about which one to prioritize, Henriette or Leeds and others.
　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 it.

...... Well, I would certainly have stayed if I was alone. But if I said that, a lot of things would have been different if I was alone in the first place, and that's just what I had to say.

　If Allen had been alone, he might not have gone to the Elven Forest, or maybe the roadblock itself would not have happened.
　But there was no point in saying it, it was all hypothetical.

　And as long as it didn't happen, it's meaningless to say it.

...... but Allen cares.
"Well, you might want to cut them some slack there.　It's definitely something to be concerned about.

　You can't help but laugh at Milene's words and shrug your shoulders.
　I don't regret my choice, but that doesn't mean I don't care.
　You'll be able to see that it's a good idea to cut them some slack.

That's pretty self-explanatory.
I was aware of it. I mean, are you sure Noel shouldn't have stayed?

　Immediately after that, Noel did not come to a conclusion after all, as he had to leave the elven forest in a hurry.
　Although that in itself was to be expected, Noel seemed reasonably eager to remain there.

　I honestly thought that he would stay there and see how things went, whether he became king or not, but...

I just thought I'd take a break from ...... first and think about it. But ...... at least I'll have to go back there again. You'll have to wait and see if you'll end up living there or not.
I see. Then I'll come back and visit you then. It's a mess, but it's still the place to be.
"...... Why don't you honestly say that you care about Miss Henriette?
Well, I wouldn't say that's not part of it. I'm also worried about that guy.

　As a result of our discussion, it was decided to leave the unconscious man to Henriette, partly because I didn't have time to interrogate the man, and partly because Henriette told me that it would be more trouble for me to do so.
　It's also because I didn't want to waste time interrogating the man, and also because Henriette told me that it would be more trouble if I did so.

　As a matter of fact, I was wondering what to do afterwards, let alone get the story out of him, so I really felt saved.
　You will be able to find out what you can do about it.

　But I'm not just going to put my opponent at risk.
　You will find that the person you know is that kind of person.

　So surely there was a way to talk that man down in that situation as well.


　He's going to ask me what's going on, which I'm going to ask him on my next visit.

　You will be able to find out what's going on, and that's why Allen is not so worried about Henriette.

　And Henriette is a smart personality.
　Even if some danger were to come to her, she would surely have an escape route or two ready.

　Furthermore--

Well, I told them to call for help if they were in trouble.
...... As expected, Allen, even if the Empire asks for your help, ...... no, I'm sure you can handle it.
I'm sure they'll manage it quietly, but I doubt they'll hear the cries for help in the first place. ......
"...... there, managed by the power of love?
"Oh, love, is that ......!
"No, I don't have that kind of power by nature, do I?　So Leeds should calm down too.

　And so, with a wry smile at the suddenly lively situation ......, Allen suddenly remembered the time he and Henriette broke up.

　I'm sure you're going to be able to find a way to make the most of your time with ...... although it looked strangely thoughtful.
　It's unlikely that Henriette herself would screw up, and I've left the children in charge of their care.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with them.

The ...... kids were grateful for your help, right?
"......?　...... Did you say something?
"No, ...... is just talking to myself.

　Yes, so there's no other way to describe it.

　But ...... I thought for a moment that it might have been worth it to me to go there this time.

It's just that I'm not sure what to do next time.
It's a good thing that you've got a lot of things going for you this time, but in the end, you're going to go home right away. ...... You can't go to the Empire for a while, so what's the next step?
If it was the Empire this time, is the next one to the east?
"...... South and other recommendations.
Well, it's going to take me a while to get home, so I'll make up my mind in the meantime. ...... By the way, something about that phrase makes it sound like all three of you are trying to follow me again?
"Isn't this your imagination?
Well, I guess it's just my imagination.
...... might also happen to be headed to?
...... Well, I don't have a thing for traveling alone, so it's okay. It's more fun when it's busy, for whatever reason.

　With a wry smile at the mention of such a thing, ...... Allen squinted his eyes and turned his gaze out the window.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what happens," he thought, with many implications.






　After watching the carriage drive away until it was out of sight, Henriette let out a breath.
　It's with a variety of meanings, and ...... the biggest one is surely a farewell.

Are you sure that's all right?　We could have waited a day or two more.

　And if you look at the voice you heard, there was a hateful face.

　It is true that she - Lisette herself is not ...... to blame, but she is only half to blame.
　You will be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

I don't mind. I'd rather take the time to increase the chances of you guys getting more involved.
"Oh ...... I'm really sorry about him, or maybe it was inadequate supervision here, or something like that. ......
"Don't take it seriously. It's like we're in the wrong.

　Let out a sigh of relief that it's so hard to do.
　If you are one of the most dangerous people in the empire, then you should show a reasonable attitude.

　Well, that and other things, though, are self-serving.

Anyway, this is it, right?　I won't mess with them anymore. ...... promise you will keep your word, right?
Of course. We don't care who they were or what they did in the extreme.

　It's a true statement as well as a fact.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, because Allen and his team had nothing to do with this mission of the Kuro Wolf Knights.

　...... Or maybe I should say, they are no longer involved, but--

It's a little too late to secure the assassins of the emperor, isn't it ...... a year ago?
It's not our job to think about it. We'll do what we're told. Anyway, you'll come over?　--I'm going to tell you a lot about the conspiracy with the devil to assassinate you.

　Instead of answering her words, Henriette looked once more in the direction in which the carriage had driven away.
　However, she quickly removed her gaze and walked off, leading Lysette away.
