"Dear Leonie, thank you for hanging out with me so many times.

I'm so sorry to bother Master Leonie and Roger all the time. "

"No, never mind. I apologize for what happened last time on my journey"

"No! I have nothing to apologize to Master Leonie for!

"So am I... and Roger. I don't want you to apologize.

So don't look so sad. You look good with a smile. "

Forest between Milicier and Busque territory.

Originally, we planned to take the time to explore it on the way home from our last visit to Busque territory.

However, because it did not materialize, we decided to head to this forest today, the day after we arrived at the Milicier Lords' Palace.

Same as last time, Master Leonie and Roger have accompanied me as my escorts.

On such a road, trying to bow his head against Master Leonie, who was riding in a carriage, Master Leonie gently suppressed my shoulder and shook his neck sideways smiling.

"Thank you"

"And then, black cat"

"Nha."

"You can't leave all of a sudden. Miss Rachel will be worried."

"Nyer."

Lady Leonie grinned nicely at my words, pointing her gaze towards Cro, who was on my lap.

Cro just sounds bright in his voice saying he understood what Leonie said.

Crowe has been at my side ever since he appeared again in the King's Hall.

I even asked Chro about that strange experience that happened in the woods, but he just turned his back on me if I didn't answer that question.

Such a clo is busily moving around looking out the window and gluing around my feet with pleasure again as I approach the woods.

"Speaking of which, Master Theodore is staying in Busque territory, isn't he?

"Yeah, I am. She contacted me yesterday and told me that she was going to join us in exploring the woods today because she had settled her business in Busque."

"... you are"

Master Theodore and I have not yet met each other since I returned to the King's capital.

I'd like to see you soon and ask you a lot, and it's another fact that you're overstating what to ask on the other hand.

Out of the blue, you had a sinking voice, and Master Leonie looks strange and turns her gaze at me.

"Did you have anything with Theodore?

"No... that's not..."

"Really? It's fine if you're worried. Because he had a face that didn't float."

"Um, is Master Leonie close to Master Theodore?

"Right. Well, Theodore is my cousin, so we have a lot of opportunities to face each other.

Yeah, but you do. About ten years ago... haven't you seen Theodore since he was twelve? "

Lady Leonie whines to herself in such a way that she remembers.

"Twelve?

"When I was fifteen? Well, it's about the rebellion of Theodore. There was a time when I pulled away and didn't want to talk to anyone."

"Master Theodore? That's surprising..."

"I thought it was because I was weak too, so I tried to force you to drag me out of the room and accompany me to the workout. Look, brothers and companions, you can tell the whole thing with your fists, right?

"Ko, fist? No, it's..."

What does it mean to know with fists?

I can't imagine, my face would have caught on unexpectedly.

I noticed that, Mr. Leonie said, "You were talking about our house and the Knights. I beg your pardon for the deafness of your ears," he said with a heartfelt remorse.

When I waved my hand to the side in front of my face to tell him I didn't care at all, I encouraged him to continue the conversation, "So..."

"But Theodore is so powerful in vain that if he uses magic, I can't even fathom him with boulders. Besides, the Camus have a friendly but unattended place, and my aunt... Theodore's mother told me that I should leave them alone.

I hope so. I completely forgot about it for about a few years. "

"As, well. Right."

"So, if I haven't seen you in years, like before. No, he had become a more habitual cousin than before. That's the place."

I totally forgot......

From Master Leonie's mouth, I would have really forgotten.

Nevertheless, I can't imagine that Master Theodore would pull the cage.

But it was ten years ago.

After all the different experiences, I guess there is a Lady Theodore today.

"You got there while we were talking about that.

Oh, there's some rumors, Theodore. "

"Nyah!"

"Blackcat likes Theodore."

"Nha."

In the words of Master Leonie, peeking out the window, he did stand holding the reins of a horse that Master Theodore would have ridden a little further down the road.

Slowly the carriage slows down and stops quietly, while Master Leonie reaches for the carriage door to get off first.

But Master Leonie reached over to think a little. When he stopped, he turned to me and prefaced, "I meant earlier..."

"Miss Rachel. Theodore has no grasp, he likes to make fun of people, he's the right guy."

"... yeah, right. But Master Theodore cares about the Spirit with companionship, and he's very kind."

That's right.

Indeed, Master Theodore possesses powerful magic and manipulates it. When I suddenly wondered if I had appeared, I often lost my temper and had nowhere to grasp it.

Still, he was polite and gutsy over and over again, even when he couldn't control his magic well when I just signed with Crowe.

Besides, my eyes that look at Cro are so sweet, and when I see that Cro misses me more than anyone else, I know he's really sweet.

Lady Leonie grinned as she stroked her chest down with relief in my words.

"Good for you then. You're Theodore's precious girl."

"Huh?"

"No, anything. Let's go explore."

The words of Master Leonie, whining small, reach his ears slightly and listen back, but Master Leonie shakes his head with a smile on his face. And he got off the carriage sassy as it was, and offered me his hand.

While I still have my doubts, I get off the carriage with the help of Master Leonie.

When I put my foot down on the grass, a gentle breeze like the one I felt last time, I feel it enveloping me.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath so that you can get the refreshing wind and forest air all over your body in the spring.

"Miss Rachel, it's been a while."

Slowly open your eyes and turn your body toward the person you are called.

There was the figure of Theodore, who wrapped his robe around him and fluttered his long silver hair in one piece.
