I leave the cafe and Chloe and I look for my sister-in-law, Marielle.
　She's the kind of person who can disappear anywhere and appear anywhere. When she's found, she's easy to find, but when she's not, you can't find her even if you try. ...... From my point of view, she's a rather peculiar person.
　But he has always treated me with the same attitude since we became a family.
　I also have a strong impression of her as a kind sister to Chloe. On the other hand

"Chloe, you don't have to walk so fast.
You're just walking too slow. I just want to find you and finish my business.

　As always, Chloe has a spiky ...... attitude. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help.
　In Chloe's eyes, it seems that I, a child with no blood ties, have stolen the sword that her sister Mariel was supposed to inherit.
　In fact, I can't blame her for saying that.
　I refused to accept it once, but not only my father-in-law but also Mariel insisted that I accept it.
　Therefore, I, who am neither the head nor the next head of the family, have the blue armored sword.
　However, it is said that if I declare that I will become the head of the family, I will immediately compete with Mariel for the position of the next head of the family. If I declare that I will become the head of the family, I will immediately compete with Mariel for the position as the next head of the family. ...... Rather, Mariel has said to me, "If you will become the head of the family, I will leave it to you.
　I have no intention of becoming one.

Where the hell did my sister go? ......
You'll never find her if you keep looking.
I know, I know!　But how else are we going to find her?
Yeah, there's only one way to find out, but there's ...... another way.
"What?

　The next moment, Chloe's expression is one of surprise.
　I ran up the wall, using a crate in an alleyway nearby as a foothold.
　The top of the building - if you're going to look for something, it's probably easier to find it from a higher place.

"Hey, hey!　What the hell are you doing?

　Chloe's panicked voice reached my ears, but I only responded with a slight wave of my hand.
　Right now, I have to find Mariel.
　Mariel is certainly a mysterious person, but I don't think she's too far away from Chloe.
　At least, she could be found from a certain height.
　That's what I was thinking.

"!　That's .......

　You immediately see a woman who looks like Mariel.
　You also notice a familiar girl next to Marielle as she walks along, scurrying from place to place.

"...... Iris-san?

　I didn't think it was possible, but the person Marielle was carrying around with her arms crossed was, to all appearances, Iris.
　You can see that Iris is confused, even from here. Maybe I just ran into her ...... by accident, but it seems that Iris is being pushed around by Mariel.
　I immediately went back to Chloe.

"Hey!　Don't do something insane like go up the wall!　You've got a lot of people watching you.
I wasn't staring at Chloe.
If I'm with you, people will look at me like I'm weird!
Haha, 'weird looks' is a terrible word. But it did help me find my sister-in-law.
Really?　Really?　Then show me the way.
All right. I don't know why, but she was with someone I know.
...... Your acquaintance?　Is he a knight?
No, a boy who wants to be a knight, I guess you'd call it. Well, I'm sure Chloe knows her.
Hmm. Well, I don't care!　Let's get out of here!
Okay.

　Once again, I'm rushed and head in the direction of Mariel.
　If I didn't check every step of the way, I might have lost sight of Mariel, but not if she was with Iris.
　It may not be the most popular way to use it, but as her bodyguard, I can keep track of her whereabouts.
　The amulet I gave her seemed to be worn by Iris at all times.
　As her bodyguard, I know where she is at all times, which helps me in that sense.
　I stopped at the place where Iris was - or rather, where Mariel was.
　It was a "slightly unusual" clothing store.

"What is this place?
You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes. I'm not sure what to do.
There is a possibility that your sister is in this place .......

　I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that.
　I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea. Let's go in, shall we? It's easy to imagine Mariel forcing Iris into the store.
　The two of them walked into the store together.
　The interior of the store was not that spacious and had a rather dark atmosphere.
　There are a lot of decorations on the walls, some of which are based on flamboyant dresses that even noblemen don't often wear, and some of which are based on costumes that seem to be based on demons. ...... Just stepping into the store, you are surrounded by a strange atmosphere.
　You can find a lot of different types of shoes and boots that you can choose from.



Hurry up and find your sister.
You're not hiding like that.
I'm not hiding. Just keep moving!
Okay.

　I followed Chloe to the back of the store.
　Then I heard Marielle's voice.

I knew I was right, it looks great on you. It doesn't match your hair color, but black really does look good.
I'm not doing this ...... thing.
"Then let's wear this next time.
"What?　This is indeed .......
It's okay, it's okay. I'll take care of it.

　...... I don't know what I'm doing.
　If you don't stop it as soon as possible, you'll feel like you're in danger.
　I immediately stepped in the direction of the voice.

What are you doing here, Marielle, sister-in-law?
"Oh, ......, oh, oh. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
Oh!　Sister, I finally found...
"Hey, sir!

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It's already too late for .......
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　And now she is about to be fitted with a collar with a bell attached.
　Blushing, Iris quickly tried to remove the cat ear catsuit with her paw gloves.
　However, it seemed that the gloves were preventing her from removing it properly.

Why is the teacher here?
"Iris, what a coincidence that you're here. It suits you well.
This is different. Let me explain.

　I don't need an explanation to understand what's going on.
　But Iris, of course, does not understand the situation.

This is the man you're talking about, Iris ......?　Iris is not ...... Iris Reinfell?
"Uh, yes. Yes, but...

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　Chloe, who was behind me, immediately rushed over to Iris and said.

I'm a fan of yours, Iris!　Please shake my hand!
"What, what?　What? If it's okay with me?

　I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan. ...... I understand that things have gotten a little chaotic.
