"Sister. Is it going to take long?

"Looks like it, Iris. Well, you'll have to put up with my barging in like this.

Okay, okay.

　The three of us were instructed to wait quietly in a room surrounded by the smell of wood.
　The three of us were instructed to wait quietly in a room filled with the smell of wood. After all, meeting the princess seemed to be a very time-consuming task.

　If the princess had said, "Let me through," the situation would have been different, but there was no sign of that yet.

I'm getting worried now.　I'm starting to worry now. ......

No problem, no problem. She seemed like a nice princess. Right?　Hey, sis.

Right, Iris. Don't worry, Rael. You'll be fine.

I know, I know.

　But," Rael added.

What is the point of seeing the princess in the first place?　What do you have to do?

"Nothing much. I just want to talk.

I don't have anything to do either, but it might be a good opportunity for Rael.

What?　What do you mean, ......?

　When Rael heard Tise's words, he did not understand what she meant at all.
　If you've never seen each other before, why do they want you?

　He had come on this trip with the intention of accompanying Iris and Tise, but before he knew it, he had become the main focus of the trip.

I'm sure you're in a lot of trouble right now, aren't you, Rael?　Maybe you should ask the princess to help you out.

I don't think it's that simple. ......!

Well, well, well. I think it's no use keeping it bottled up. It would be nice if Iris could listen to him, but I don't know much about difficult topics. ......

That may be true, but ......

　Rael's mind wavered.
　The trouble is definitely the situation I'm in right now.

　Can I continue to stay here like this?
　Even if she stayed awake and thought about it for a long time, she would never find the answer.

　Since I had no one to talk to, I couldn't get it out of my mind like Iris said.

(Could it be that Richter and the others were aware of my feelings? ...... If that's the case, it makes sense that they instructed me to follow them all the way. After all the horrible things I said to them: ......)

　It has been bothering me from the beginning -- the instructions of the lichs.
　If, as Rael imagined, it was to solve his problems, then it was indeed a good action.

"Just so you know, Richt-san is not a bad person. He may not be a good person. That's all Iris can say.

Which is it? ......!


Sorry I'm late. The princess has given me permission. I'll show you.

　Imperfect timing.
　At an incomplete moment, the squire who had finished checking called out for guidance.

　Since I had to obey, I would have to wait until another time to hear the rest of the story.

　However.
　This one word alone seemed to have moved Rael's heart.
