105 a boy and an older sister




 If Allen had to put into words the emotions he learned at that moment, it would be confusion.

 After all, you've definitely never met the boy.
 What kind of person would not be confused by a sudden request for help from a strange boy?

 And the boy's gaze is too firmly fixed on Allen to think that he's the wrong person.
 He is definitely asking for help from Allen, not from some random person.

 So, if he's going to be honest, Allen was half tempted to pretend he didn't see anything and walk away.
 Although I understand that there may be some circumstances, so the trouble that awaits you is definitely in the offing.
 You have decided to leave the country early to avoid getting into trouble, and now you've decided to get involved in the trouble.

 But .

Hmmm......... What do you think?
That being said. I mean, you're the one who needs help, so why not do what you want?
"...... concur?

 It's a throwaway word, depending on how you hear it, but we know it's not, because of the way it's directed at us.
 It's only literal in meaning.

 It's a good thing that you've chosen to leave quickly so as not to get into any trouble, though, as long as it was Allen who chose to leave quickly so as not to get into any trouble, we should make it a priority to leave once he said so.

...... don't worry about us, okay? Because after all, what we are here is our own will. And that doesn't change in what we do from here.
...... Well, it's true that whatever I choose to do here, I don't have to accompany them to Leeds, so they can go home with me. They can just go home with the Leeds.
You're right. Allen, if you decide to stay, you won't have to worry about whether you'll be able to come back.

 As a matter of fact, Allen can certainly return home if he's left here alone.
 It would be much faster than a carriage if Allen was serious about running, and he could use the transference if the need arose.
 I didn't have to worry about it, and I didn't have to be worried about it.

 And I should normally be able to think: .......
 After looking at Leeds' face, then Noel's and then Milene's, Allen let out a sigh.

"It's rude to let out a sigh when you see ...... people's faces?
Quite so. Do you think that's a little too rude?
I think most people would have the same reaction if they were in my shoes, right? Because ...... if I'm going to stay here, you guys are going to stay here too, right?

 There was no reply to the words.
 But the smiles on everyone's faces spoke the thoughts more eloquently than words.

 Again, I let out a sigh.

"I told you, didn't I? It's up to us to decide where to go from here,
...... Well, I haven't even listened to him yet, let alone decided whether to listen to him or not.
I don't need to think about what you would do in a situation like this, Allen.

 The way Leeds listened to the boy, and then let out three sighs, as if to say that he was determined to help.
 It was too much to ask.

 Moreover, even Noel and Milene are listening to what Leeds has to say with a natural look on their face.
 This was troubling.

 And most annoying of all is that you can't abandon the boy if you've been told that much.
 Well, because of the things that bothered me, I can say that I didn't really intend to do so from the beginning: ...... It's really troubling.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your new job.

...... Well, let's just listen to what they have to say. I'm curious about it.

 The boy's eyes sparkled as he was told, and he was greeted with glances from left and right, as if to say, "I'm right.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.










 You can't just continue the conversation right then and there, since it's always a problem.
 So, Allen and his friends have decided to pompously head back to the inn that they just came out of.

 One of the reasons for this is that Allen and the others had left their rooms at the inn.
 Although Allen and the others had been staying at the same inn since they came to town, an inn is usually reserved for one day.

 And that one day is from that morning to the next morning.
 Whether you come in the afternoon or at night, the next morning is a day, and there is no exception.
 What I mean is that Allen and the others who stayed at the inn until noon have paid for today's lodging and can reuse it until tomorrow morning.

 Of course, you can't complain if the inn lets other guests in, as long as you let them know you're leaving, but you've just left.
 There was no time for other guests to enter, and the inn, despite their reluctance, allowed you to reuse the room.

 The first thing Aren and the others did when they returned to the familiar room was to introduce themselves.
 They hadn't met each other before, and didn't even know what to call the other.

 It was only natural that the first thing to do was to introduce themselves.

...... Curtis. --My name is Curtis Leubland.
"Leublant ......?

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what the name of the boy's house is after Allen and the others had introduced themselves.
 The family name is one that you've only recently heard ...... and it's unlikely that you'll hear it.

 But to be honest, Allen wasn't that surprised.
 I'm sure you'll be surprised, but I'm more convinced.
 The reason why he felt vaguely familiar with Curtis' face was because he recognized her face around his eyes.

 But Leeds and the others seemed simply surprised, and a look of astonishment was clearly visible on their faces.

'That ...... Leubland means ......'
"Yes ...... I think that's what you're thinking. I ...... no, my family is a marquis. But it's not the main house, but ......
Does that mean I should change my tone? I'm not very good at it. ......
Oh, no, don't worry about that. You don't seem to be from this country.
I'll take you up on your offer. Well, I'm going to take you up on your offer, but can I ask you one thing: ......? The sister you mentioned, could it be ......?


"...... yes. I think that's also what you're thinking. I ...... am an only child.

 In short, the sister Curtis is talking about is her--Henriet.
 It seems to be the son of the uncles that have been mentioned several times.

 It's a good idea to have a look at the following: ......
 It's time to clarify one thing at a time.

You're going to be able to find out more about the particulars of the particulars.
I suppose so. But where did he hear about us, and when did he hear about us?
Can you think of ...... that time? When Master Henriette returned to the mansion once,
But then, that means he was there too, right? So I guess you should at least be introduced to them.
"If you're talking about ...... milenas, is it natural to do so?
"...... Surely, that's true, isn't it?

 It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
 You will be able to find out the best way to get the best results from your own personal computer.

 You're going to be able to find out more about the way you're treated by your uncles.
 It's natural to be suspicious when it comes to her son.

...... Well, I'm sure it's understandable to be suspicious. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the marketplace.
"Distantly ......?
"Yes. It just so happens that you and your sister were about to part ways at .......
Breaking up with you means you were there or ......, which means you were in that town at the time, right?

 Since he was not hiding, it may not be surprising that the boy saw the scene.
 But why was he there at that time?

I mean, it sounds like you were hiding and snooping.
...... Well, that's actually what happened as a result. But because of ......, I was able to see my sister caught in the act.
"--What? Master Henriette was caught ......!
"...... Why?
...... That's exactly why I came to ask for help.

 Saying that, Curtis turns his straight eyes to me.
 And.

"My sister is ...... sister Henriette was captured by the Kuro Wolf Knights as the main culprit in the assassination of the Emperor.

 Such were the words that were uttered.
