Volumen 06 Capítulo 62 - La Realidad del Desastre

1ª Parte

Nos encontramos en el campo de refugiados.

Resultó ser un lugar tranquilo que en tamaño, diría que tenía el de una aldea; aunque si estuviéramos en el continente demoniaco se podría decir que es justo del tamaño de una pequeña ciudad.

Pero aun así, no había ningún bullicio en él, y principalmente había una atmósfera silenciosa flotando en el ambiente. Porque aun con ese tamaño, el número de personas en la ciudad era reducido.

Podía sentir la presencia de personas dentro de algunas de las casas de madera que todavía estaban en construcción, y aunque me pareció que algunas personas tenían la intención de quedarse aquí, no se les notaba animados.

El ambiente en este lugar se había estancado.

En el centro de un campo de refugiados así de tranquilo, nos dirigimos al lugar que parecía ser un gremio de aventureros. En la fachada se podía leer Sede del Campo de Refugiados.

Entramos en ese lugar y nos encontramos a algunas personas que en este caso también parecían taciturnos y melancólicos; haciéndome tener únicamente una mala corazonada de lo que íbamos a encontrar.

"Ludeus, allí..."

Eris me señaló con el dedo a un tablón donde se mostraban los nombres de todos los desaparecidos, aunque de forma abarrotada y en letras pequeñas, pero categorizados por aldea o ciudad de origen.

En lo más alto de este tablón, se mostraba el nombre del Lord de la provincia de Fedora.

En ese lugar encontré el nombre de James Boreas Greyrat junto a un mensaje que decía Se solicita información de desaparecidos y fallecidos.

"Miremos más tarde."

"Sí."

El número de muertos era aterrador, eso, junto con el hecho de que el nombre del Lord no era Sauros.

Soportando la ansiedad por ambos eventos, nos adentramos más en el edificio.

2ª Parte

Tras informar del nombre de Eris en la zona de atención, la mujer mayor que había en ella de inmediato se adentró en las oficinas, tras lo que regresó revitalizada junto a un par de personas. 1 hombre y una mujer que conocía.

Uno de ellos era un hombre con buen porte, que llevaba ropas como de mercader bastante próspero, con algunas canas en su pelo y una barba en un rostro que solo te podrías imaginar propio para un mayordomo. Se trataba de Alphonse.

Su acompañante era una mujer con piel tono chocolate que iba vestida con un atuendo de espadachina.

"¡Ghyslaine!"

Eris corrió hasta ella con una enorme sonrisa en su cara que fue incapaz de ocultar. Parecía tan animada que no me costaba imaginarme su cola meneándose detrás de ella como un perro que acaba de ver a su dueño tras varios años.

Yo también estoy feliz me alegro mucho de verla, porque en ningún momento escuchamos información sobre ella; aunque se la ve saludable.

Supongo que Paul no escuchó nada porque habrá regresado este último año.

Ghyslaine a su vez, también se la veía contenta tras ver a Eris.

"Eris... No, Eris-sama, me alegro de que consiguiera llegar hasta aquí sana y salva..."

"...Yo también, pero no importa si solo me llamas Eris."

Ghyslaine parecía contenta durante un tiempo, pero poco después esa cara se contrajo; Alphonse también la miraba con lástima.

No puede ser...

La ansiedad me contrajo el corazón.

"Eris... Hablemos dentro."

El tono de Ghyslaine era forzado, y hasta su cola estaba en punta.

Esa es la cara que pone cuando está tensa por algo... así que habrá pasado algo grave como para que no se anime con el regreso de Eris...

"De acuerdo."

Da la impresión de que Eris comprendió la situación al ver esa expresión en Ghyslaine, a la que seguimos al interior del edificio. O al menos tenía pensado ir con ellos, pero...

"Ludeus-dono, por favor, espere aquí."

"¿Eh? Ah, de acuerdo."

Me detuvieron, aunque asentí a las palabras de Alphonse.

Ya veo, como mucho era considerado como un trabajador contratado... por lo que es normal que no me dejen escuchar una conversación importante.

"No, que Ludeus también venga."

El tono de Eris era autoritario, con suficiente presencia como para ser imposible de rechazar.

"Si así lo quiere Eris-sama..."

La expresión de Eris se veía más dura que de costumbre, y hasta sus puños estaban suficiente cerrados como para dejar sus nudillos blancos.

3ª Parte

A travesamos un pasillo en silencio siguiendo a Alphonse hasta que llegamos a una habitación que parecía la sala oficial de reuniones del edificio.

La habitación estaba muy simplemente decorada con un sofá en el centro con unos floreros con flores Bardius, frente a un escritorio sencillo de director.

Eris entró en la habitación y se sentó en el sofá sin que nadie se lo dijera, tras lo que me cogió de la mano y me hizo sentarme a mi lado.

Por su parte, Ghyslaine hizo lo de siempre, que fue quedarse de pie en una esquina de la habitación; mientras que Alphonse se quedó de pie frente a Eris, actuando como un mayordomo.

"Le doy la bienvenida, Eris-ojou-sama. Habíamos recibido noticias sobre su regreso y la esperábamos-"

"Los preámbulos no son necesarios, solo dilo. ¿Quién ha muerto?"

Eris interrumpió al mayordomo y preguntó con un tono imperativo y duro que jamás había visto en ella.

¿Quién ha muerto? Hizo esta pregunta abruptamente y sin suavizar de ninguna forma, acorde con su mirada penetrante y decidida. Aunque yo sabía que en realidad su corazón era un remolino de emociones en este momento, por la fuerza con la que sujetaba mi mano.

"Eso..."

Alphonse dudó en reasponder.

Por su reacción, diría que Sauros... Sobretodo teniendo en cuenta que Eris era el ojito derecho de ese hombre, y como ella le correspondía imitándole en todo momento. Si él hubiera muerto, no me cuesta pensar que Eris se deprimiría enormemente.

Alphonse, se forzó a darnos la información que Eris le había solicitado.

"Sauros-sama, Philip-sama e Hilda-sama... todos ellos han perecido."

Al instante de oír sus palabras, mi mano fue aplastada, haciéndome sentir suficiente dolor como para intentar quitarla. Pero por encima del dolor, la realidad que Alphonse nos había hecho llegar hizo que mi cerebro no pudiera reaccionar.

¿No es un error? Pero si no han pasado ni 3 años... no ha habido tanto tiempo como- No, lo correcto sería decir que desde el desastre pronto habrá transcurrido 3 años.

"¿Hay alguna esperanza? ¿La hay?"

Eris respondió con una voz temblorosa, a lo que Alphonso negó con su cabeza.

"Philip-sama e Hilda-sama fueron teletransportados juntos y no sobrevivieron en la zona de conflicto. Estos hechos fueron confirmados por Ghyslaine."

Ghyslaine asintió.

"Ya veo... Ghyslaine, ¿a dónde fuiste teletransportada tú?"

"Al mismo lugar que Philip-sama, la zona de conflicto."

Ghyslaine no dio demasiados detalles al respecto, salvo que a su paso por la zona de conflicto, descubrió los restos de Philip y de Hilda, sin decir nada más. Ni la condición de los cuerpos, o la forma en la que murieron; aunque por su expresión, supuse que fue terrible.

¿Pero terrible en qué sentido? ¿El estado de los cadáveres? ¿La forma en la que murieron? ¿O acaso vio una escena de las que te hacen querer apartar la vista? ¿Acaso oyó algo que te haría querer taparte los ojos?

Eris simplemente respiró hondo y dijo un único Hmm, mientras su mano temblaba aun sujetando la mía.

"Y, ¿qué le ocurrió a mi abuelo?"

"... Fue culpado por la teletransportación y aceptó la responsabilidad, tras lo que le ejecutaron."

"No puede ser."

No pude contener esas palabras que dejé salir en un susurro.

"¿Qué necesidad había de que ejecutaran a Sauros-sama?"

¿Ha muerto ejecutado por ser dictado culpable de un desastre natural? No digas tonterías... No había nada que podía haber hecho para evitarlo, o quieres decirme que había una forma de protegerse de ello? ¿No se supone que ocurrió sin previo aviso? ¿De qué es culpable Sauros entonces?

"Ludeus, siéntate."

"..."

Eris tiró de mí y me obligó a sentarme, parece ser que me puse en pie en algún momento sin darme cuenta.

Sentimientos confundidos daban vueltas en mi cabeza, y debido al intenso dolor de mi mano era incapaz de calmarme y organizar mis pensamientos.

No, en realidad puedo comprenderlo... por mucho que fuera sin previo aviso, y que fuera imposible de impedir... Mucha gente murió, al igual que se perdieron todos los campos de cultivo de la región. Las pérdidas son incuantificables, lo que generó un enorme malestar generalizado, que llevó a culpabilizar a gente.

En un caso así, no hay más remedio que utilizar a una persona como cortafuegos... Hasta en Japón, siempre que ocurre cualquier problema, el primer ministro no duda en responsabilizarse de ello y dimitir. Por un lado piensas que si quiere aceptar la culpa debería continuar observando la situación hasta que sea solucionado, pero al mismo tiempo, se puede pensar que es una forma de al menos que alguien sea castigado.

Utilizando la muerte de Sauros, todas las quejas de las personas de la provincia fueron transmitidas a él para desaparecer con su último aliento, y luego piensas que la persona que coja el mando será alguien que pueda solucionar el problema, consiguiendo de esta forma limitar las quejas de las personas.

Y dudo que eso fuera todo, no me cabe duda de que habría alguna clase de conflicto interno entre los nobles por algún motivo. Y aunque no sé cuánto poder poseía el viejo Sauros, pero por lo que puedo comprender, poseía suficiente poder como para ser necesario matarlo para quitárselo.

Es probable... aunque también es probable que consiguieran convencerle de que era lo correcto, y aunque pudiera serlo... Piensa en el estado actual de todo esto. El campo de refugiados está inactivo, y la sede tampoco tiene bullicio... me es imposible creer que el reino de verdad intenta reconstruir la provincia de Fedora.

Si Sauros siguiera con vida, no me cabe duda de que al menos habría más actividad en el ambiente, era del tipo de persona que era útil exactamente en estos casos.

No, todo esto es insignificante... al menos para mí, son asuntos que no me importan. Lo que sí me importan es lo que siente Eris en este momento... lo que tiene que estar pasando.......uff... A Eris no le queda familia en este mundo.

Y no me puedo ni imaginar como encontraron a Philip e Hilda o como murieron... ¿fue antes de que Sauros muriera? ¿o después? Por lo que han dicho, Sauros estaba vivo para que pudieran matarlo, así que seguramente fuera el último en morir... ¿por qué tenían que matarlo? No había necesidad...

En un desastre como ese, con la catástrofe mágica, ¿cuántas personas crees que murieron? ¿100, 200 inocentes? ¿Por qué teníais que encima matar a una de las personas que consiguió regresar? ¿Para esto regresó Eris?

Joder, puta mierda, no puedo pensar con claridad, y mi mano me duele.

"Ludeus-dono, comprendo como se siente pero... así es como están las cosas en el reino de Asura."

No es algo que puedas dejar solo en esas palabras, Alphonse, tú Lord fue asesinado, ¿lo entiendes? Ghyslaine, el que te salvó la vida fue asesinado, ¿cómo puedes estar tranquila?

Fueron palabras que quise decir, pero no conseguí hacerlas salir de mi boca; ya que Eris no había dicho nada aun.

No serviria de nada que yo me pusiera a gritar, por mucho que para mí fueran familia, en realidad no lo era; y si la propia familia que queda no dice nada, cualquier cosa que diga yo será irrelevante.

"...¿Y qué va a ocurrir a partir de ahora?"

Por inusual que me pareció, Eris no gritó, ni se dejó llevar por la ira; sino que hizo tranquilamente esta pregunta.

"Me han llegado noticias de que a Philemon Notos Greyrat-sama le gustaría tomar a Eris-sama como su concubina."

Hasta yo pude sentir la ansia asesina que Ghyslaine le estaba enviando a Alphonse.

"¡Alphonse! ¡¿De verdad planeas continuar con esa idea?!"

Ghyslaine soltó un rugido furioso con sus cuerdas vocales de la raza feral, hasta el punto de que pensé que mis tímpanos explotarían.

"¡Recuerdas lo que ese hombre dijo, ¿no es así?!"

Pero en respuesta a la furia de Ghyslaine, Alphonse se mantuvo controlado.

"Pero si de verdad nos preocupa el futuro de la provincia de Fedora, esa minucia sería..."

"¡Es imposible que encuentre la felicidad al lado de ese hombre!"

"Aunque sea un despojo, sigue siendo miembro de una familia distinguida. Además, existen varios ejemplos de matrimonios forzados que acabaron en felicidad."

"¡Nunca escuché de tal precedente! ¡¿De verdad estás pensando en el bien de Eris?!"

"En quien pienso es en la familia Boreas y en la provincia de Fedora."

"¿Pretendes sacrificar a Eris por tal fin?"

"Si fuera necesario."

De improviso, los 2 se pusieron a discutir, dejándome totalmente en blanco ante la escena. Cuando quise darme cuenta, Eris se había puesto en pie, soltando mi mano y cruzándose de brazos en su pose característica.

"¡Callaos!"

Fue un tono de voz suficiente fuerte como para que Ghyslaine se llevara las manos a sus orejas. Hacia tiempo que no escuchaba los gritos de Eris, pero ese vigor que mostró desapareció rápidamente.

"...Dejadme sola un rato, lo pensaré."

Tras escuchar su fulminante orden, los 2 se detuvieron. El primero en salir de la habitación fue Alphonse; Ghyslaine miró con incertidumbre a Eris antes de salir de esta. Y yo por mi parte me quedé con Eris dudando sobre lo que debería decirle.

"Eris.... yo..."

"Ludeus, ¿no me escuchaste? Déjame sola un rato."

Su tono fue severo, dejándome un poco en shock. Pensándolo fríamente, creo que esta fue la primera vez en todos estos años que Eris me ha rechazado de esta forma.

"....De...acuerdo..."

Agaché la cabeza y salí de la habitación dándole la espalda a Eris, y cuando cerraba la puerta, pude escuchar el suave sonido de alguien llorando.

4ª Parte

Alphonse prepared rooms for our sake.

In a certain house near the headquarters, most likely for the purpose of refugees, four narrow rooms were in a row.

I was carrying my own luggage into one of those rooms and Eris's luggage into an adjoining room.

I changed from traveling clothes into casual clothes.

I threw my robe with a clumsy trace of stitching in the center of it on the bed and left the room.

Returning to the headquarters.

I thought about talking to Ghyslaine and Alphonse a bit, but I couldn't find them.

As expected since I didn't have the energy, I absent mindedly looked at the notice board.

Paul's message, the one that I've seen a number of times these past few months, was there.

Search in the northern part of the Central Continent.

This was written at the time when I was 10 years old.

I'm soon to be 13 years old.

A considerable amount of time has passed.

The dead. I let my eyes glaze over the list of missing.

The column for Buena Village.

Among the names I know of, they were all lined up along the missing list.

However, more than half of those have lines drawn through them.

After glancing at the dead column, the same names had lines drawn through them.

It seems, if death is confirmed, then a line is drawn through and they're added to the dead column.

The list is missing fewer in number, but even then the list of dead column is densely filled.

I noticed that Rawl's name had a line through it on the missing list and raised my eyebrows.

I heard that Rawls had died from Paul.

I hadn't heard the details about his cause of death though.

And then right below that.

The letters for Sylphy were on the missing column.

There was a line drawn through it.

I suddenly heard my heart pound with a beat.

It can't be, while thinking that I look at the column of dead.

It's not close to Rawl's name.

Looking at them in order from the top.

However, it's not there.

The name of Sylphiette wasn't there.

...Huh?

"Umm, this, there's a name here that has a line through it, but the name isn't on that side...?"

I thought it was strange so I asked the personnel.

"Yes, that would mean that they've been confirmed to be alive."

After hearing those words something in my chest fell.

Just like that it continued to pierce through my chest and fell into my stomach, after piercing through my stomach I thought I would crap myself.

Sylphy is alive.

I felt relieved over this fact.

"Then, umm, do you know how they can be contacted?"

"No, that is, unless you actually ask at the headquarters."

"It's the name Sylphiette, could I ask you to check up on it?"

"Please wait just a minute."

Several tens of minutes after I asked the personnel.

"I'm very sorry, there was no contact information registered."

"I, see."

Either she hasn't settled down yet or the person who found her updated the list and the person themself hasn't added the contact information, one of those.

Otherwise, there's the possibility of omitting the entry, but I can't imagine it.

There's a high probability that Sylphy is alive.

For now I'll just be delighted over that fact.

Of course I'm worried.

For example the color of her hair.

The tint is a bit different from the Supard race, but it's the same green.

According to Hitogami, the curse doesn't apply to anyone that isn't a Supard race, she shouldn't be progressively bullied by anyone outside of the children of Buena village.

However, there are plenty of heartless people in the world.

She might be crying somewhere after being called out by her hair.

No, according to Paul, he said Sylphy can use healing magic with voiceless incantations.

It was just something I heard, but I felt like she already has enough power to survive on her own.

Similar to me, she might be acting as an adventurer somewhere.

I also heard that Lilia taught her manners and etiquette, I'm sure she could live anywhere.

Or she might not know her family has died and she might be searching for them.

Rather, if she managed to survive that teleport then that possibility is high.

I'll just pray that she didn't end up as a slave.

For the time being, I drew a line through Lilia and Aisha's names.

The name Rudeus already had a line drawn through it.

It seems that they had received a report that Eris was heading here, it must have included information on me as well.

Among the Paul household, the only name remaining is Zenith Greyrat.

After all, she must not have been found yet.

Next time Hitogami appears in my dreams I'll have to ask and see.

Part 5

Eris still hasn't come out from her room.

I wonder if this is the first time that Eris who is fast at changing her mood has worried this long.

However, we traveled for a long time, when we finally returned back to our hometown, there was no warm family waiting to accept us.

As expected even Eris would get down over that.

After all I wonder if it would be better for me to return and comfort her...

No, I'll wait a bit longer.

While thinking like that, I returned to the building where I transported our luggage.

After returning I thought over a variety of things, but I couldn't think of what to do.

I'll rest for a bit.

Part 6

Just at the time I was planning to leave for the headquarters, Alphonse called for me.

He had me sit down on a chair in his room in the Refugee Camp Headquarters.

Alphonse in front of my eyes, on my right Ghyslaine was sitting there.

The reason the two were sitting was probably because Eris wasn't around.

Different from me, they properly understand the employer and employee relationship.

"Now then, Rudeus-dono, since conciseness is necessary, please report."

"Report?"

"Yes, these past three years, what have you been doing?"

"Ah, that's right."

After being asked by Alphonse like that I started to talk about these past three years.

That we were teleported to Magic Continent and met with Ruijerd.

That we registered as Adventurers and moved while earning money.

That there was a bit of strife at the Great Forest.

That we met with Paul and the Fedoa Region Search Group in Milishion and there we understood the situation for the first time.

Then we went north while searching for information and about the strife in Shirone Kingdom.

Then about meeting Orsted in the Red Dragon's Lower Jaw.

Mostly centering around things that involved Eris, it was an exceedingly concise talk.

Alphonse listened quietly and finally sunk down.

Suddenly he raised his voice at our separation with Ruijerd.

"...Did that escort go back?"

"Yes, we depended on him quite a bit."

"Is that so, I thought about proposing an official reward from Eris-sama when she calms down."

"He's not a person who would accept such things."

"Is that so?"

Alphonse nodded and then silently met with my gaze.

They were the fatigued eyes of a man.

"Then, Rudeus-dono... as for the people who were working for Sauros-sama, we are all that is left."

"...What about the other maids?"

"The fact that they haven't returned would mean they either died or returned to their hometown."

"I see."

Those cat ears were annihilated as well, huh.

It could be that a number of them returned to the Great Forest...

"Even after they received such assistance from Sauros-sama, it's sad."

"In the end, it's a relationship made through just money."

After saying that, Alphonse's poker face shifted a bit.

It might be a severe way of putting it, but it's that sort of thing.

"I hesitated over whether to add the still young Rudeus-dono in as well but... if you are able to answer in such a way then there should be no problem. You have protected Eris-sama and returned her home safely. In recognition of that achievement, we will recognize your enrollment as a vassal of the Boreas Greyrat family."

Vassal Group.

It seems that this is that sort of gathering.

"From here on we are going to start a Vassal Group meeting, but do you mind?"

A meeting huh.

I'm sure, even before the teleport incident, they had them when I wasn't around.

Probably, Ghyslaine as well wasn't included in them previously.

Now it's just the three of us, but formerly that is. A lot more vassals would have probably had a discussion.

"Thank you very much. Then what is the agenda?"

I had no intention of pointless talk, so I asked that.

At any rate, Philip and Sauros are already gone.

It's already been decided who the topic would be about.

"It's about Eris-sama."

Just look.

"Concretely, I would like to discuss about Eris-sama from now on."

"From now on?"

Think about it.

Eris returned to her home town.

However, there was nothing there.

Her family is gone and house is gone.

She can't return to how she used to live.

"Yes, Eris-sama from now on."

"Certainly Sauros-sama and Philip-sama have passed away, but it's not like the Boreas family itself has perished, right? Can't a house be prepared for her to live in?"

"James-sama is a person who worries over rumors, so he would most likely reject responsibility for Eris-sama."

James, Eris's uncle, huh.

The current lord.

If I remember right, he's the guy who got into a power struggle with Philip and won.

If he's bothered over rumors then certainly he wouldn't want Eris who isn't like a noble to be added into his family.

Her manners are pretty vague, it's hard to even treat her as a child of nobles.

Also, he should already have Eris's siblings included among his family.

Several other cousins as well.

If Eris were to cause some kind of problem with them, it's not hard to imagine.

Eris isn't so sweet that he would still want to take care of her knowing a problem would occur.

"Even if in case he would have been willing to look after her, whether he would treat her properly as a noble in the first place is suspicious... It's not unthinkable that he would have Eris-sama imitate a maid servant. Since that's the case, this is rejected."

I nodded to those words.

That's right, it's better to stop there.

Even though we could say Eris has become considerably more mature, her rough disposition is the same as always.

She's not enough of an adult that she wouldn't strike back when being looked down on.

"Next, Piremon Notos Greyrat-sama conveyed that if Eris-sama were able to return alive, he would definitely like for her to become his concubine."

Piremon. My uncle, huh. Paul's younger brother.

The current Notos family head was him.

It seems like old man Sauros hated him though...

He's the person who was the source of the quarrel from just before.

After looking at Ghyslaine, she lowered her brow and closed her eyes.

"It's not a bad talk, but there are a number of dark rumors about Piremon-sama."

"Dark rumors?"

"Yes, rumors about how he's been sucking up to High Minister Darius Silver Ganius for the recent assistance being given."

How is that a dark rumor I wonder.

I'm sure there are a variety of nobles, those with power making up to those with more power, isn't that normal.

"Lord Darius has been fixing problems for him these past few years, and he backs the first prince, they ended up having the second princess exiled from the country behind the scenes."

Hmmm.

I don't get it. Even if you suddenly start with the first and second, the only thing I know about is radio gymnastics.

"Piremon-sama was affiliated with those backing the second princess faction but..."

"Since she was exiled out of the country, that power has rapidly dropped?"

"That is correct."

That seems to be the case.

In other words, since his own boss was about to lose, he was scheming to change sides to the winning side.

"Isn't that fine just like that. What is the problem?"

"Rudeus-dono, do you remember the kidnapping incident some time ago?"

"Kidnapping incident?"

"The incident when real kidnappers abducted Eris-sama."

Ah, the one I suggested huh.

"The one who was behind that kidnapping, was Lord Darius."

"...Oh?"

"Lord Darius came to Fedoa region for a visit once, and it seems at that time he was considerably pleased after seeing Eris-sama at a glance."

"That is, in a sexual meaning?"

"Of course."

Then, since he was pleased with her, he asked Sauros to give her to him, but all too quickly he was refused, so he tried to abduct her.

The truth that has finally been revealed several years later.

No, in reality it should have already been confirmed at that time.

They just couldn't make a fuss out of it because the other side is a big shot.

I wonder why Sauros refused him.

...Is it because he hates Darius?

He was that kind of old man that decides everything based on feeling.

Well, in regards to what basis he used to make the decision, this dangerous topic is fine.

"In the case that Piremon-sama were to take Eris-sama as a concubine, with some kind of reason attached he would probably offer her to Lord Darius. Piremon-sama would treat Eris-sama like an item."

Hmmm, so that Darius is a pervert noble guy, huh.

It seems they're common in Asura Kingdom.

If what he's seeking is Eris, then I can't think his tastes are bad.

Though it's just his taste that isn't bad.

"Then, that's rejected isn't it."

"No, in regards to Lord Darius himself, I can only frown from what I know, but Lord Darius is the one who has the most influence with the current king. I'm sure Eris-sama will experience some troubles, but her social status and treatment will be guaranteed."

"However...?"

"If it was a bit of selfishness, then Lord Darius should listen and give in. For example, reconstructing a village for the sake of the Fedoa region's population..."

I see now.

If you become the woman of one possessing power then you can use some of that power and money yourself.

Even though I say that, I really don't want Eris to become that kind of pervert's belonging.

"Any others?"

"On the side of other nobles, most likely Eris-sama is... Now that Sauros-sama and Philip-sama are dead, Eris-sama's worth as the daughter of a noble is almost nothing."

Worth, worth, huh...

Is it that sort of thing I wonder?

If you were to ask me, Eris has quite a bit of worth on her own...

"Rudeus-dono which way do you think would be best?"

"....before you ask my opinion, do you mind if I listen to Ghyslaine's opinion?"

In response to the sudden question I softly responded saying that, running away.

My thoughts still haven't collected yet.

"I think it would be best if Eris-ojousama remains together with Rudeus."

"Together with me?"

"You are Paul's son. Zenith as well is an influential noble from Milishion. Since your lineage and background are both clearly known, then you should be able to become a noble of Asura Kingdom."

No, I wonder about that.

I don't think I can.

While thinking that I look at Alphonse.

"It isn't impossible. Paul-dono has earned some merit from this incident, if we were to make use of that then making Rudeus-dono into a noble is possible. However, in order to become strong enough to manage Fedoa region, it would be difficult. I can't imagine that Piremon-sama would allow Paul-dono's son to hold any power. Also, if you were to marry Eris-sama in order to take on some power, then I can't imagine you would have a good face towards Lord Darius or James-sama."

I thought as much...

Well, but, I somehow or other understood it.

According to Alphonse's thinking, he's only focused on the region's recovery.

"Then it would be fine for Rudeus to take Eris-ojousama and run away."

"What about the Fedoa region?"

"You do something about it."

Ghyslaine's words were forsaking him.

She might fundamentally have a bad relationship with Alphonse.

"Isn't having Eris-sama govern this land that Sauros-sama loved precisely our dearest wish?"

"That's limited to your dearest wish, don't stick us together. I'm fine as long as Eris-ojousama is happy."

"Will she be able to be happy if she runs away with Rudeus-dono?"

"At the very least, more than if she were to marry Piremon."

"What about the people of this region?"

"It's not something we can know. From the start nothing of that sort was ever expected from Eris-ojousama."

The Vassal Group was split in half on difference of opinion.

I'll put it into order.

In other words, Alphonse wants Eris to follow in the footsteps of Sauros and Philip.

And then, he wants her to govern this land.

If it's for that sake, he's saying that she should endure with doing some perverted things with a perverted noble.

Ghyslaine is saying that sort of thing has no relation and wants Eris to be happy.

If it's for that sake, she's saying to throw away power and family name, and elope with me.

If you were to ask me, I side more with Ghyslaine.

It's a sentimental thing.

After all, a girl I protected all the way up to here, I wouldn't want her to become the belonging of a guy like a pig.

No, I don't really know if that Darius guy is a pig or not though.

Even if that's the case, eloping with Eris is still the better option.

I really don't care about power at all either.

However, I understand somewhat what Alphonse wants to say.

He wants Eris to take over what Sauros started.

If I think about the importance of that matter, for the time being I can understand it.

Though I can't agree to it.

Well, it doesn't really matter which.

"We can't come to a conclusion."

I muttered that.

The two disputing looked over at me.

"What do you mean?"

In response to Alphonse's request, I said,

"In any case, the one to decide is Eris. There's no meaning in us talking about it like this. Rather than that, let's search for a more constructive topic. Isn't there anything else?"

Ghyslaine as well, sunk into silence.

"If there isn't, then I'd like to go rest."
