Oh, dear!　You're too late, the carriage is gone!　We'll have to find another carriage to take us to the next town: ......!
"Don't be in such a hurry, Chloe. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be fine.

　When Mariel heard Chloe's words, she replied in a slow tone.
　Chloe blushed a little and said back.

I don't care if he's coming or not!　You didn't even talk to him after that.
No, Chloe. You can't refer to Alta as that guy. You should call him "big brother.
I don't care what you call me!　I'm going to find another carriage, so don't move from here!　Okay.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
　She waved Chloe off as she went to find a replacement carriage, and Mariel looked back at her.

You've come to see me off, Iris.
...... That's a fixed term, isn't it?

　It was Iris standing there.
　It's refreshing to see her in her school uniform, unlike the last time we met. It's also a good way to make sure that Mariel understands that she is still a student.

I'm not sure if you're alone or not.　I'm not sure if I've ever thought of this before, but Arta-chan is not always with you. Even though you are a guard.
It's not like you're being targeted every day. And even if you are targeted, I can at least protect myself.
Yeah. I know you have that kind of power. I know you are not always with me, but ...... you came here alone because you have something important to tell me?
It's not that I have something important to say to you. ...... I heard that you were leaving here today, and I wanted to see you off. The doctor said he couldn't come because of work.
You're a busy man, Alta. I've never been home since I became a knight. ...... Can you tell Iris that I'm here?　This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time with your family.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm sure I'll be fine.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure Arta won't want to be away for more than a few days. I'm sure you're not going to like being away for a few days.
I see. In that case, if I go with you, maybe you'll leave.
Well, well, well?　I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
I'm sorry.　I'm not sure why you're talking about that!　No, not at all!
I'm just kidding.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　It is true that he said it as a joke, but it seems that Iris is not a good liar.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject in the future. ...... It was obvious that Iris was conscious of Arta.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. I'm sure you'll agree.
I'm sure you'll have a lot of questions.
"Old stories, huh?
Yes. --It's a very simple story. I've known Alta since the time she came to the Schweizer family ....... You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier. In addition, his swordsmanship is several levels above my own, so to put it bluntly, he seems to be 'abnormal'.
"Extraordinary?
I'm sure you're right.　I'm sure you already know this, Iris, but for a child, she has such complete strength. But she doesn't like to talk about her past. And maybe it's because he has such perfected strength. ...... He has no ambition.
"......

　Iris listened to Marielle's story with a mysterious look on her face. I'm sure that Iris hasn't heard about Arta's past either.
　That's why it's worth telling Iris.

But things have changed a bit lately. Escorting her was just a job - the report to the Schweizer family was supposed to be a simple one. Even I thought so. But the girl ...... often writes letters about her time at the school.
"About school?
Yes. I think it's funny that I'm supposed to be working as a knight.　But if it's about the academy, there's not much that I have to hide as a knight. That's why it's often written that I'm having a hard time as an instructor. And you are often mentioned in them.
Oh!　Oh, are you talking about me, ......?　What's so weird about ......?



　Iris looks upset. Mariel smiles and replies.

"Hmm, don't tell.
I'm not sure what to say.　I've told you so much about ......?
That's right. It's your secret, Alta. But I'll tell you this. Alta-chan cares about you. So please, Iris. Please take care of her for me.
...... Of course. I'm going to get stronger and become a stronger knight than you. That's what I swore to Marielle-san as well.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. That's what I swore to you. So be careful from now on, Iris.
"Yes, Mariel, too.

　After finishing her talk with Iris, Marielle sent her off, saying that it would be a long story if Chloe came back.
　The incident that happened the other day - Mariel understands that it was also due to a power struggle within the kingdom.
　In the midst of such a struggle, the Schweizer family will now clearly claim to be on the side of the Rheinfel family.
　Whether this is right or wrong, Mariel doesn't know now. But

I'm not sure if it's right or wrong. The truth is, I've allowed you to be with her since that time, haven't I? As for me.

　As a representative of the Schweizer family, I decided to give it a try, but deep down I had already made up my mind when I saw Arta again after a long time.
　If Arta, who has never shown her true feelings even when her family is worried about her, is gradually becoming more open with Iris, that's probably a good sign for him.

"Sister!　I found a replacement carriage, what's wrong?　You look so happy. ......
I was just thinking of you, Alta.
I've been thinking about you for a while.　I don't care about that guy who broke the Blue Armor Sword.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing in the future.
I'm sure you're right.　It's not possible!　I don't know anymore!　You should get lost in the capital!
Wait, Chloe. You'll get lost if you hurry.
You're the one who's going to get lost!

　Mariel walks off after the angry Chloe. And so the Schweizer family returned to their usual routine.
