I managed to find Marielle and decided to leave the store and talk to her.
As for why she was with Iris in the first place, ...... it was apparently a coincidence.
I was just passing by and I called out to her. She seemed to be in trouble.
It was a coincidence. And you said you were the famous Iris Reinfell, right? Chloe is a big fan of .......
Chloe is a big fan of .......
No, I'm not! I've heard rumors about the Princess of the Sword! Although she is still a student, she is considered to be the strongest swordswoman in the kingdom. ...... I adore her!
No, that's not true. ......
I'm sure you'll love it.
--I don't know what's going on here.
It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.
It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. ...... There's nothing I can do about it, but I do understand why Iris and Mariel were together.
Then I have to ask why Mariel came.
"You came here for me, didn't you, sister-in-law?
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes. But then Chloe got lost.
No, I didn't get lost! It's because you disappear all the time. ......! It's not me that's lost, it's you! Please don't misunderstand me, Iris!
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. My sister-in-law is a member of ......'s family, isn't she?
Mmm-hmm, yes.
Yes, Alta is my brother-in-law, the teacher ......? What do you mean?
Chloe suddenly looked at me with a grim expression.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. It's not like I'm hiding it from her. ...... But I think she saw from Chloe's attitude that I wasn't on good terms with her.
I'm now on duty beside her as a knight. As a guard, I also teach at the school she attends.
"......... is -- what? I'm not sure what that is. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.
I'm sure that's what it is.
I've always been indebted to you, Mr. Schweizer. I have a lot of respect for him.
Chloe has a complicated look on her face when Iris adds that she admires him.
Chloe has a crush on Iris, but she hates me.
I'm Iris's homeroom teacher and she looks up to me.
Probably, what she just said was an attempt to reconcile me and Chloe. There's no need to try to fix it. ...... As a result, Chloe began to worry alone.
You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier. But that's not the case,.......
Chloe?
I'm not sure what to say. When she gets confused, she goes off into her own world. Leave her alone, okay?
Chloe quieted down as she thought about what Mariel had said.
I asked Mariel again.
So, let's go back to the beginning. ...... What did you want to see me about?
"That's the story. It's not that I have anything important to say. I'd like to hear from you about what you've been up to lately, Alta.
Alta-chan ......? I'm not going to worry about it," he said in a low voice as he repeated it. At any rate, she would not reiterate what she had said to Mariel.
You've been in touch by letter.
It's true, but ...... you want to hear her voice, don't you? I'm not sure what to say.
"Your sister-in-law's term 'cold' refers to a normal level.
I'm sure you're right. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. Hey, Iris-sama?
"What, uh, ......?
Iris glances at me with a troubled expression. I guess she doesn't know how to answer when asked to talk.
I let out a small sigh.
I let out a small sigh, "Sister-in-law, don't embarrass Iris too much. And don't take her around. ...... You know what you're doing, don't you?
You know what I mean. I've been looking for Chloe for a while now. ...... I have an appointment with someone later. I've got to get going. Chloe, let's go.
"Huh? Oh, hey, sister! We need to talk. ...... Oh my God! Next time I see you, I'm going to want to hear what you have to say.
Chloe, who had entered the world alone, came back, but soon realized that Mariel was about to disappear, and followed her.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
...... Well, they were kind of amazing, weren't they?
I'm not sure what to say. That's the Schweizer family.
I had a different impression of them than my teacher. ...... I noticed that they looked like that. ......
By "like that," I assume you mean the cat ears I mentioned earlier.
Iris is not an easily influenced person, but ...... Mariel can make even Iris look like that.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
--I don't think she came here just to ask me what I'm up to.
(...... And you know my sister-in-law.)
I'm sure my sister-in-law knows that I'm in charge of guarding Iris Reinfell.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
"Yes. Yes. I had some business to attend to. ......
Oh, really? So you got involved - or rather, you went to get involved.
Well, I won't deny that. ....... But you are called 'Alta-chan', aren't you? I was a little surprised.
Suddenly, Iris opens her mouth like that.
When I glanced at her, I could sense that she wanted to enjoy my reaction. So, I simply answer.
I'm twelve years old. I'm twelve years old, after all.
"Well, you're ...... twelve, aren't you?
That's right. My sister-in-law is like that. If I hadn't gone to her, she might have called me 'Iris-chan' in her cute cat form.
"Who the hell would want to look like that? ......!
I'm not sure what to say.
You can find a lot more than half of them, or almost all of them, but it seems that Iris wants to say that she was still in the "safe" stage.
In the event you're not sure what to do, there are a few things you can do.
