Charlotte shouted in disgust.
　Eluca shrugged her shoulders in disgust.

"As usual, you're as reckless as your breath. Come on, come on, Charlotte. You can try this on next time.
But your heart just stopped!　Are you sure you're okay?
A second or two, no problem. There you go.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. Allen's tongue was wagging at her effortlessly.

　And so the siblings were left alone in front of the fitting booth.

"So?

　Eruka glances at Allen.

What do you want me to do?
For now, I want to know what's going on in the Kingdom of Neils.

　Allen stood up slowly and stroked his chin.
　Behind the curtain. You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

"I successfully fought off a chaser once. Did they give up the chase, or are they still actively searching? It's hard to tell from the newspapers.

　The Neal's Kingdom case was once on the front page of the newspapers, but recently I haven't seen it on the front page much.
　It must have been a sensational case, but there was no further news, so the reporters had no way to write about it.

　That is why there is little information from there. You can contact an informant, but it would be troublesome if you are misled by .......

"So, will you look into it for me?
I'll take care of it. I'm sure my dad knows someone in the Kingdom of Neils. I'll see what I can find out.

　Eruka gave him a wink.

And while I'm at it, why don't I find out about the prince and his family?
...... Well, that's not important yet.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　Well, I think it's important to get information.
If you look it up, you'll find out about ......

　Allen let out a small sigh.

　I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about the kind of people who humiliated Charlotte and the way she was treated at home.
　But if I find out...

If I find out, I won't be able to keep quiet. I'll ignore Charlotte's feelings and I'll go to that country. So don't look into it for the time being.
"Hmm.
...... What's with the face?
No, no, no. You're changing, too.

　Eruka smirked and pinched Allen's side.

I've never seen you care so much about anyone in your life. It's a good thing.
"...... Really?

　Allen nodded his head.

　It's true that I've never cared so much about a stranger outside of my family. But he didn't understand why ...... that would be a 'good thing'.

So I'll just do what you said. You'll be paid back at home.
I'll do my best to refuse.
I know.

　Eruka laughed in exasperation and glanced at the fitting booth where Charlotte was.

I'll wait for a while. I'll wait a while. I've got Charlotte to think about. You can help me make my magic tools instead.
Okay, that's a small price to pay.
Yes!　With you, I'm all set!

　Eruka smiled and clapped Allen on the shoulder.
　She's a good sister, capable and quick to talk. I'm really glad that she didn't turn out to be a shady character like me.

"Um, ......

　Then a voice called out from inside the fitting booth.

(Did you hear what I just said? ......?)

　(Did he hear what I just said? !?) Allen gulped at the thought, but Eruca spoke to him without hesitation.

What's wrong?　What's wrong?
I'm sorry. ...... I'm having trouble fastening the clasp on my back. ......
"I see, I see!　I'll be right back.

　Eruka walked into the fitting booth without any hesitation.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the things that are available.
