96 – The characters seem to overlap.

To explain the whole story, it is as follows.

There is a person who started this incident.

Amid Gliaes, the eldest son of the Marquis of Gliaes and the next head of the family.

It seems he didn’t know Kino, who had a narrow friendship, but he was in the same class as Kino when he was a junior.

And surprisingly, he seemed to have fallen in love with Kino at first sight.

However, Kino had almost no human relationships other than his friends or Vaniela’s.

On top of that, Amid Gliaes was very talented, but his personality was very timid.

That’s why Amid fell in love with Kino as soon as he entered her academy, but he couldn’t even talk to her and only cared for her for a year.

As Kino became a senior, he was promoted to the magic department.

He was a Kino who showed talent in magic from the beginning, and he didn’t even pay attention to other departments.

He didn’t have to hesitate at all because he had magic and aspirations, even to Vaniela, in addition to his few friends.

On the other hand, Amid was promoted to the martial arts department.

He was pretty much a sucker for magic, and showed exceptional talent for swordsmanship, following the family tradition of the Marquis of Gliaes.

At home, he took it for granted that he was promoted to the martial arts department, and it was impossible for him to go to the magic department because of his talent.

Of course, martial arts and magic are classes that are on the opposite side of each other in the combat world.

The buildings are so far apart that they can be used separately, so unless you make an appointment to meet in advance like me and Riel, there’s very little chance of running into each other or doing anything.

So, of course, it meant that Amid naturally couldn’t even see Kino.

But that doesn’t mean that martial arts students can’t just wander around the magic department for no reason.

Amid the end, Amid wrote a letter to his father.

I know that Kino Wentos has no fiancée.

Then, muster up a little courage and reveal everything to her father and ask for help.

Like that, the Marquis of Gliaes, who received the letter from Amid, officially requested marriage to our county.

…At this point, it didn’t bother her that he didn’t confess directly to Kino.

Well, to be honest, love marriage tends to be almost taboo among high-ranking aristocrats, so it can’t be helped.

My father and Duke Ignis are a bit unusual.

Anyway, in place of my busy father, I returned to the capital under the pretext of acting as my father.

As the next head of household, it would not be a big rudeness even if he went as a substitute for his father.

Besides, now is the time when the monsters start rampaging again, so my father couldn’t be away.

Riel remained in the county.

She was still in the middle of being educated by her mother, and even without me, Shir would be a bit pouty, but without Riel, it would be absolutely impossible.

“Brother.”

When we arrived at the capital, what was waiting for us was Kino in an academy uniform.

At the collar of the uniform is the same magic department badge that Riel was wearing.

“Kino, how is your senior year life?”

“It’s okay…It’s okay. There are a lot of people I’m seeing for the first time, but I have friends…”

That’s what I’m worried about.

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen the friends Kino made at the academy.

Well, it’s not very common for a senior to meet her junior unless there’s a special reason.

“I’m sorry, oppa…That…You purposely came all the way here because of me…”

“No, why is that because of you?”

Because of that bastard

… The words I forced myself to swallow.

“Rather than that, have you met the eldest son of the Marquis of Gliaes?”

“No…That’s…Because I’m new to it…”

…Still, we must have been in the same class as junior high school students.

Very little, I sympathized with that guy.

“…Well, let’s go to the Marquis of Gliaes first. Academy classes are over, right?”

“Yes. I said I had business and came out first.”

“Then let’s go. Come on.”

As I said that, I held out my hand. After hesitating, Kino took my hand.

Thinking about it, before Kino fell ill, he often held my hand and followed me around like this.

Feeling a bit nostalgic, he walked down the road to the Glia S Who writer.

Since the residence of the Marquis of Gliaes was located in the royal capital, it did not boast an enormous scale like the mansions of the counts and dukes of Ignis.

Even so, it was a large enough mansion, and it exuded an antique atmosphere as it was a family with a long history.

“I’ve been waiting for you. Are you Count Wentos?”

In front of the front door, an elderly man in a butler’s uniform greeted me politely.

“My name is Loen, the butler who has served the Marquis of Gliaes for a long time.”

White hair, a black butler’s uniform, and a monocle with one eye.

This is the butler!! It was an old man who exudes the atmosphere of being called.

“I am Kyo Wentos, the eldest son of Count Wentos. I have come to conduct this marriage talk on behalf of my father, Count Killian. And this is my younger sister, Kino.”

“Ki…Kikiki…I’m Kino Wentos!!”

I also introduced myself lightly and introduced Kino who was hesitant in the back.

Seeing Kino, the old man smiled and bowed her head.

After a while, we followed the old man into the mansion, where a middle-aged gentleman was waiting for us.

A gentleman with blue hair straight back.

However, the spirit emanating from his body reminded him of his father.

This person must have been the Marquis of Gliaes.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kyo Wentos.”

“Welcome. My name is Cowen, the head of the Marquis of Gliaes.”

He held out his hand for a handshake.

He shook hands with his well-tempered hand, which had sparse calluses and small scars.

However, although the Marquis was present, Amid Gliaes, the party to the marriage discussion, was nowhere to be seen, so he opened his eyes wide and said.

“Marquis, I can’t see the person involved in this marriage talk?”

“Ah…That’s it…”

The Marquis pointed to a place with a quiet wink.

When I turned my head to the place, I saw a single thick pillar supporting the mansion.

What the heck is that pillar?

As I was looking at the pillar with that thought in mind, I saw something moving.

When I narrowed my eyes and took a closer look, I was able to figure out its true identity.

The blue-haired boy who was hidden behind a pillar.

…If you get some undercover training later, I think it’ll be a great undercover skill.

“Amid, come out. It’s the marriage you requested, so you have to hide like that.”

“That… That’s that… But, father… I’m so nervous…”

“Eh, the guy who will be the next Marquis of Gliaes has such a lack of spirit.”

Looking at Marquis Gliaes clicking his tongue, I looked at Kino standing behind me.

“What’s wrong? Brother?”

“No.”

…For some reason, I wanted the characters to overlap a little bit.

“Now, come out quickly! Isn’t Miss Kino, who you used to sing so much, here?”

“Ah…Father! Wait a minute! My heart is still ready…!”

Eventually, the Marquis of Gliaes grabbed his son by the arm and forcibly dragged him out.

The boy who was captured by the Marquis of Gliaes was a boy with a handsome face and blue hair.

He was dragged out in a panic and stood in front of Kino.

With the two facing each other, the Marquis and I first slipped to the side.

“……”

“……”

What is it?

Say hello. Let’s have some conversation

“I’m … There … He’s … Ah … Amide Glia S …”

“Yes…Yes…That…That’s…Ki…Kiki…Kino Wentos.”

……

As expected, the characters seem to overlap.

At the same time, Royal Road Gransen.

A young man with a crest representing the Church of the World Tree on his shoulder, which is now difficult to see in the royal capital, was walking along the royal capital.

He is dressed like a priest, but he wears more classy clothes than a priest.

That’s also true, since he was in charge of one of the cults of the World Tree Church at a young age.

Behind him were three men who appeared to be paladins wearing hoods over armor.

“It’s the first time I’ve come and seen the royal road Gransen.”

He said, looking at the bustling streets of the royal capital.

For him, who was always active in the empire, the scenery of the royal capital was the first time he had seen it.

“Seriously, even the Archbishop made a mistake. Losing real power in such an important place.”

He thought of Marconi, the high priest of the cult among them.

Although he is in the top position, he only holds it because he has been socializing for as long as he does.

In terms of ability, cults that were more competent than him were widespread.

And he thought he was one of those people too.

Even though the forces of the Church withdrew from the Empire, it wasn’t an accident like Archbishop Marconi.

“Follow me, I’m heading to the palace from now on.”

“Yes.”

At his command, one of the three Paladins, who seemed to be the representative, answered.

He led the way, and the representative paladin followed.

As I was about to walk away, the cult turned around and looked at the paladins.

“You.”

“……”

Xiaojiao looked at the tall knight standing to the right among the knights.

He was wearing a hood over his armor and even a mask covering his face.

“You brought me here because of circumstances, but you are a person who shouldn’t come here.”

“…I know.”

“Never act rashly, and never take off your mask. Okay?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go. We must find clues to the whereabouts of the 1st Order of the Holy Knights.”

With that being said, the cult takes the lead, and the paladins follow suit again.

Among them, the eyes of the masked paladin were shining sharply.
