44 Reincarnation princess meeting.

A woman appeared as if my wish had arrived.

Tips and hard shoe sounds.

What appeared is a slender beauty. Wearing a black robe over a chic dark blue dress, the feet are high heel pumps.

You have a heavy book on your thin arm.

The beautiful woman, who tied up her glamorous black hair, looked around us in turn, and saw the long eyes behind the monocle. The lips painted red draw an arc.

"Oh, it seems to be quite interesting."

Lutz and Theo were stiffened by the appearance of Irene von Altmann.

Irine smiles at the two men who whispered “Uge” and moaned.

"Is there enough physical strength to cause trouble in the corridor? Then, if you say so, I thought of a physical strength enhancement menu without a break. Let's start as soon as we return.

"I'm sorry!"

They immediately bowed.

Your athlete is surprised to be aside and bend at right angles. I wondered what your occupation was, and watched it with a far-sighted eye.

"Klaus, let's get rid of the noisy thing."

Even though the discussion has not yet started, you are already tired. He commanded, looking up at Klaus, limp, and reluctantly sheathed his sword.

I have a dissatisfied face, but it's more problematic to pull a sword even though it's not in the castle.

"It's not at all. A creature, a man, is always troubled by a child. Don't you think so?"

After glancing at the men with cold eyes, Irine smiles softly at me. There is no odd temperature difference.

I was hesitant to affirm and break Lutz's hearts, so I laughed vaguely and deceived them.

"Oh?"

Irine looks down from my face and looks at the black cat in her arms, gazing lightly.

The friendly Nero did not show any fear of being looked into, but leaned his small neck and looked up at Irine-sama. If you shout small, Irine's expression will break.

"Well, it's pretty. Is there a princess?"

"Yes. I'm Nero."

Reach the unblocked hand with a book, and Irine-sama grabs Nero's chin with the back of her finger. Nero doesn't hate it, but she's done.

If you like cats, Irine-sama has a softer atmosphere than usual.

It seems to be using the cuteness of Nero, so I'm a little distracted.

"Um, Irine. I'm sorry to bring in personal circumstances ... Would you please allow Nero to enter the room?"

I am afraid, ask.

She nodded with Assari.

"I don't mind. All I know is the princess who is present. Above all, this cat seems to be quite calm and clever. I won't bother you."

“Unlike my stupid apprentice”

Adding a little poisoned word, Irine looks at Lutz and Theo sideways. They kept their eyes closed, keeping their eyes fixed on the floor.

"Two people are fine, right?"

No question mark is attached anymore. I mimic the question, but isn't it almost an imperative form anymore?

"not at all"

They answer with their backs straight. At the level that this is exactly the same, the two voices overlapped. The attitude of desperately trying to avoid remorse is more refreshing.

Aside from the slender Lutz, I'm quite worried about the physical strength of the theo, and the physical strength enhancement menu that refuses so hard.

But now, let's give priority to the customers who are waiting.

The unexpected situation continued and it was late, but we headed to the room.

In the living room of about 30 tatami mats, paintings are displayed on the three walls and fine ivy patterns are drawn on the ceiling. There was Georg and Mikhail standing up from a chair under a delicate hanging chandelier.

I apologized for keeping me waiting, and they forgave me with a smile. I explain the background to Georg, who turned a mysterious face to me with the cat.

The next Mikhail muttered in a small voice, saying "that time", as if he remembered Nero.

"Yeah, the cat you helped with."

"It looked fine and it was good"

Mikhail lowered his gaze to Nero, who grew out of my arms and looked up curiously. Both eyes and voice are very gentle.

"It's pretty quick to heal my injuries and I can actually walk now."

To make you feel safe, say that and smile. But for some reason Mikhail's face was stiffer. He holds his breath, as if by accident swallowing a foreign body.

The hand extended to touch Nero stopped halfway and was withdrawn.

"... Mikhail?"

Peeking into something strange at Mikhail's appearance, he turned his face away.

I am confused by him who has just dropped.

Did something happen to me?

"Let's get started, Princess"

"Oh, yes"

I'm called by Irine and sit down.

While they were their first encounters and introduced themselves to each other, Mikhail never looked at me.

A little ... no, it's quite a shock.

"Then, Irine-sama, could you give us some thoughts on the medicine you were giving?"

Before you start to drop, cut out the main subject. Now I tell myself that there is something to do before I fall.

Irine spreads the medicine package on the mahogany table. The pill was crushed and powdered.

"If you take a closer look at the refined one, it's slightly reddish. From the texture, it's probably like bark."

"Is it bark?"

Georg repeatedly looks at the medicine and repeats the words of Irine.

"It's too rough for the leaves and the roots. It's probably hardened by adding a jumpsuit to the hard and spicy material. It smells thin and tastes quite bitter."

Irene opens the thick book she brought.

"There aren't many bark-based medicines. What is confirmed in Japan is ..."

Turn the book toward us.

On the page pointed to by the white finger, various tree diagrams and commentary were written. Trees with small yellow flowers, trees with large glossy leaves, and trees with yellow endothelium. Irine carefully taught the benefits of each one.

"But, they all have different characteristics. Even if you examine each tree and each one with exhaustion, the ones at hand are already processed as pills. It's difficult, so at the moment we have to say that identification is difficult. "

After finishing the explanation, she lowered her willow eyebrow and sighed thinly.

Once again, if you find that there is little clue, you will be depressed. Silence fell in the room.

Meanwhile, Theo, who was silently thinking, raises his hand.

"Isn't it possible to follow by magic? Because mages use the power of nature, they are also good at finding out the power of their attributes."

"Yeah. Just like a water attribute, you can find a water source; a wind attribute, you can read the flow and weather of the atmosphere. An earth mage might be able to find a habitat or species. But, as you know, there is no earthly mage in the castle. ''

There seems to be some mages who work like pharmacists in rural areas, but the amount of magical power should be known before protection in the country.

According to Irine, their power seems to be equivalent to ordinary people who are good at growing plants. Harvesting will be two days earlier or less likely to wither.

Even if it hits, there is a great possibility that it ends up missing.

"Is there any other way to follow the clues one by one?"

That was exactly what Georg said.

It's a daunting story, but at the moment there is no other way.

After examining the port entry record, it was determined that it was from the Kingdom of Flamme. I spotted the point where I sailed from the port town facing the west sea, so I left it to Julius.

Perhaps information rolls in from there. Let's do our best without giving up.

Today, it is the flow of dissolution, and everyone stands.

Thank Iline for taking the time, and chatting from behind as he talks.

"That ... Mary."

"Yes?"

Looking back, a nervous Georg was standing.

After the discussion is over, wonder what might be nervous, and lean your head lightly. Then his face grew stronger.

What happened, Georg.

Is it a seizure? Is it a tantrum? Well, I'll call a grandpa-sensei doctor?

"What is it?"

"that……"

While looking away from me, Georg mutely speaks.

Dyeing down your cheeks is like a pretty girl. I thought she had become a dignified look, but depending on her expression, she still has a lot to do with Emma.

Women's power is high.

"... Would you please guide me through the greenhouse if you like?"

"A greenhouse?"

I heard back.

It was surprising that Georg was interested in plants, but nothing else. But Georg began to make excuses, rushing.

"Um, I don't have that sick feeling! I heard that rare medicinal herbs are cultivated a lot and just wanted to show them once!"

"Ha ha ha"

Pressure is reduced by one step.

Georg noticed that I was pulling, coughed out, and then apologized. Shake his head to tell him not to worry about him shaking his cheeks.

I was surprised at Georg's momentum, but I was satisfied.

Georg, who helps Julius-sama, naturally reacts to precious things, that is, things that can become commodities.

Greenhouses are basically off-limits, except for those involved, but is it OK for Georg? She turned her gaze to ask Irene for a decision, and she nodded at Takaage.

With permission, I turn to Georg.

"Yes, if I can ..."

"wait a moment!"

I tried to nod with a smile, but was interrupted on the way.

The first hand that blocked visibility was the white hand. Next, the body that cuts between me and Georg. The hem of the black robe, using fine fabrics, fluttered late.

I can only see the back of my head because I turn my back. However, the characteristic near-white silver hair can be identified without looking at the face.

"... Lutz?"

"I'll do it for you."

"e?"

Why did that happen?

Why is Lutz, a very shy person, taking the initiative to guide Georg, who he has just met? I do not understand the meaning.

What was the meaning of breaking between us in the first place?

A question gushes from one to the next, and Teo stands next to me, who is puzzled. He looked into me and smiled softly.

"The princess will return the cat to the room?"

Theo says, looking into Nero in his arm.

While it was boring, it might be awkward to take Nero who fell asleep somewhere.

"Yeah ... then I wonder if I can ask."

"eh"

"Of course. Leave it to me."

Looking back over his shoulder, Lutz nods with a smile.

I think Georg's voice was heard, but I couldn't see her face because Lutz and Theo blocked her in front and side. The height of Lutz, who has entered the growth period, is only different from me. It's a wall anymore.

Look out of Lutz and look at Georg.

"So, Georg-sama, is that OK?"

"…………Yes"

Georg frowned, nodding after silence for a while.

"What about Mikhail, too?"

Move your eyes to Mikhail.

He was still sitting, and he raised his face to my call as if he had been played.

"... yes, what?"

"Georg asks Lutz and Theo to guide you through the greenhouse, but what do you do?"

Chew and explain to Mikhail that he did not hear.

"……I am"

Mikhail, who is quiet, bites his lips lightly.

Fix the gaze that he wanders hesitantly to Irine-sama. She had a book on her desk and noticed her gaze and asked her a question.

"something?"

"Oh, um, the chief of the mage ... I'll take a little time ... Is it OK?"

Mikhail desperately spun his words as he shook.

In an unexpected word, I turned my eyes round, but Irine-sama was only blinking lightly. At the back of the monocle, jet-black eyes that harbor intelligent light reflect Mikhail.

Looking straight ahead, Mikhail's shoulders shake. But trembling, he did not look away.

"OK"

Irine looks down and exhales a sigh.

Holding up the book, she came to Mikhail and said, "Welcome." Mikhail, who was amazed, turned back and followed Irene who left the room.

I think while looking down at the back.

Does Mikhail want to talk about his magic? But if so, why suddenly my mind changed.

I've been concealing all the time.

"What happened to Mikhail?"

I wasn't sure how to return to Georg's words, including the embarrassment.
