After several defeats, the backgammon match is over.
Whew, I'm weak...
Her Highness the Third Princess in front of her - Clara, calmly.
But he smiles happily.
This girl doesn't laugh very much, but she's cute with a modest smile that she occasionally shows.
(Well, anyway, you stopped crying, and it still seems fun now, so should I say it's good?)
I don't know if it's honest that there are no exams and you're just playing board games while you're just chatting.
(Later, it's an "excuse"....)
I don't intend to serve the palace, so I have to think of a word of rejection.
The village daughter-- did you manage that? Because....
Still, Michemon-san's niyaniya face is looking at us from where we took a step...
I feel like I'm not just watching my granddaughter.
"Ooh... You really go well with Claudia...."
Come on...
Does it feel like I'm saying 'I won't let you escape'?
Meanwhile, Clara suddenly said something strange, and she leaned down.
Is it because of your mind, your face looks red...?
"Ah, I can't believe it's compatible..."
You must be ashamed of your wife.
If you make fun of this kind of thing, the child who gets in trouble will go back to the previous life.
"... uu"
The Third Princess, who raised her face for just a moment, fell back flat on her face when she and I met.
"Well, I'll keep an eye out for the surroundings, so you guys can have a good time."
Ho ho ho, a gambling freak laughing.
My granddaughter is still illuminated, but for a moment, I have become a real face.
The future vision of a man named Ehmont Garibaldi is shabby, but it doesn't seem to be at all risk-free.
I learned about the abilities of this old man not from this man himself, but from a separate story - that of Manon, the girl, and Margherite, the magician of Vale.
The magician of the cane said...
"There appear to be two kinds of abilities: those that work for the individual and those that can be stretched around the whole world."
Individuals are told that they can still see only the future of the object of scratch.
The latter would contain all the information within the range where the ability was activated.
"Rabbits and horns would be harder for the former and harder for the latter. For example, humans can hear a lot of sounds, but if they talk at the same time, they don't know what it is, do they? But wandering prophets, to some extent, seem to know 'what's there'."
I thought it was like a prince of sacred virtue, but Vale's magician shook his head.
"I see things I don't want to see, and I know things I don't want to know. It will be an unimaginable world. Above all, the problem is that the amount of information is too large, placing a burden on the brain. I don't know how the magician is folding it around. But when you activate the latter, you certainly take some risk."
Michemon usually seems to be shutting down his ability to see the future, and I wonder if he doesn't want to use it even if he asks me to do so because he doesn't want it to be used politically.
But now I'm using it for this "granddaughter".
I wondered how much thoughts were included in the word "explore" that I said with a light feeling.
Asking me if I was familiar with Michemon's powers, the wand magician smiled bitterly behind Vale.
"Knowing him and knowing yourself is the iron rule for everything. In a world like this, there may be days when we fight side by side. --Or...."
She didn't say 'beyond'.
--Or maybe it's relative.
He cares more about his village daughter than anything else.
On the other hand, Michemon is still using his strength for Clara.
The priorities are clear, so if we mesh in the wrong direction, they'll probably fight.
For now, the country is peaceful, and the Marquises of Claustel and Ventershoven are not friendly, but they are not hostile.
I hope that nothing will happen and that everyone will be happy.
"Mm...?
Michemon leans his neck.
Clara raised her face immediately.
I'm sure your granddaughter loves your hiding place as soon as you notice these little changes.
"Master Ehmont, what's wrong...?
"No... Hmm...."
Bakuchi's beloved grandfather looked lost for a moment, but he soon decided to speak honestly.
"It's a little strange... With my abilities, I can make invisible places....."
"Where I can't see....."
"Are you ready...?
What surprised me was the Third Princess and a knight named Dan, a thirtieth-year-old handsome man who stood quietly indoors.
From the appearance of the two, it became clear that 'invisible places' were rare.
"I can't help but hide it now, but I think it's too much going on."
"But Master Ehmont. Doesn't that mean it's unclear whether it has anything to do with the Marquis of Ventershoven? It could be unrelated to our house, and should we let people investigate first...?
In the words of the handsome knight, the old man shakes his head.
"If it has nothing to do with me, there can be no 'hidden places'. Knowing my abilities, I think I'm using a countermeasure technique or a powerful concealment magic tool. I mean, it's not a nuisance to us."
"... if that's the premise, it would be that it's setting something up against Master Ehmont or the Marquis of Ventershoven..."
"Today is Claudia's apprenticeship exam day. There's a background that's easier to ride than making noise. I think we should look into it as soon as possible."
"Well, let's do that. I'll look into it as soon as you tell me where it is.
"It's not one place. Not in two places. Is this inviting dispersion, or is it just the two places you want to hide...? If there were four swordsmen, I would have asked you to do one for me and the other for me.
"Lucan and the others are paying badly from time to time."
"Then I'll have to go out. I'm sorry, Dan. Would you like me to take you to the other side?
"I understand. - Does Claudia stay here? Or would you like to evacuate the castle?
In the words of Knight Dan, Clara rose herself.
I wonder if my name came out and made me anxious.
The old magician says.
"It's not too far, and Claudia will take you. It would be much safer to be by my side than being surrounded by those knights. --And goodbye.
Michemon stared at me.
"I didn't mean to drag you into this, but can't you join Claudia's escort? If there is a fight, I will take it, and I will protect you. As a child, if you have already become a rank magician, you can be more than enough as a guardian. And most importantly, with Alto Crampot, Claudia will be relieved. - What do you say? I'm not going to push you, but I'd appreciate it."
I think keeping away from danger is the best defense, but I can't abandon Clara in a boulder...
For example, it is possible that this disturbance is targeting Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia rather than Michemon or the Marquis of Ventershoven.
…………
Clara is staring at me with a crying face.
Do you think we should reassure her first?
"I got Clara a 'flower of gratitude'. I'll do what I want to do."
"......! Ah, thank you, thank you...."
The little princess murmured with relief.
"I'm glad I didn't abandon you" was a clear account of her mood and circumstances.
If I had chosen to stay here, she must have been badly hurt.
The handsome knight also lowered his head deeply to me with a nice face.
"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for accompanying me even though I am not yet a recent apprentice of His Highness! We will definitely reward you for your kindness!
Even though I was told it was a recent practice, I didn't intend to become a recent practice in the first place...
"- So, shall we go? Everyone, consider the possibility of a fight.
