Erica is pressured by a strong determination. I can’t really tell what Zen thought and said the word.

However, Erica is unfounded and just intuitively frustrated with the obsession that if he doesn’t take his invitation now, he will eventually have great regrets. Was driven by.

“Okay. Where should I go?”

“Here”

Zen turns his heels back and stands in front of a room with a solid footstep to guide him to the place.

The place Zen chose to tell the truth. It was-

“Here!”

Harold’s room.

“… to?” Erica was so confused that she couldn’t afford to be ashamed of it.

From the flow of the story so far, I thought that it would reveal some circumstances that Harold was hiding about the murder of the servant, that is, his secret.

What does it mean to do it in the room of the person who keeps it secret? Perhaps I had a fatal misunderstanding in a conversation with Zen.

But where and what is it? And Erica’s thoughts are extremely confusing.

“Sasa, please”

“Eh? Oh, a little …”

Pushing Erica’s emptiness into the turmoil, Zen pushes her little back into the room. Harold’s absence has already been confirmed, so don’t hesitate.

Zen looked around the room, opened the closet, and pushed Erica, who wasn’t there anymore.

“I’m sorry! Please wait here!”

Zen closes the closet and tries to leave the room in a hurry. do.

“Eh …?”

Erica’s mouth leaked a voice that didn’t seem to belong to her again.

It is beyond profane, such as confining the guest of the Lord, who is also a fiancee, in such a place. If a person is a person, he cannot complain even if he is killed.

Fortunately, Erica doesn’t use that fierce way of expressing anger, but she still has to make a point of thinking in common sense. But that wasn’t the case now.

The first priority is to get out of this room as soon as possible.

Erica is completely reluctant to be an intruder. I don’t know what Harold would say if this were to happen.

The moment I touched the closet door to chase Zen, a ruthless rattling sound reached Erica’s ears.

“Wow!”

The next thing that arrived was a surprised Zen scream. It’s no wonder that the owner of the room is back when he’s about to open the door.

Harold frowns when he hears his scream.

“Don’t make a jarring voice. What are you doing in my room?”

“No, No … Actually, I had something to tell Harold-sama, but I didn’t get a response when I knocked, so I took a peek inside. “

” If there is no response Withdraw quietly. How stupid is it? “

Erica looks at the room through the gaps in the blinds in the closet. I have lost the opportunity to escape completely.

If you show up here and explain it, you can still make a point. But what about Zen?

The other person is a person who kills people just because they don’t like it. I don’t want him to die, even if he’s self-employed.

But will Harold accept Erica’s life-saving claim? Given his behavior, its probability seemed low.

(What should I do …?)

The situation got worse and worse while Erica couldn’t make a decision. go.

“That’s what I want to tell you!”

Zen forcibly returns to the topic. Harold, on the other hand, sits on the sofa with a stunned sigh.

And surprisingly for Erica, Harold prompted the story to continue.

“What? Do it shortly”

“Well, it’s very difficult to say, but the rumors of the example have spread considerably. …… ”

The rumor of the example, and Zen muddy the words, but what it refers to is clear to the human beings here.

“I’ve been shopping in the city a while ago, but at the store I stopped by, all the owners and customers ask me to dig up the roots and leaves.”

“…”

Harold listens to Zen with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

Erica in the closet also listened, not knowing what he meant.

“I haven’t spoken out, but because I haven’t done so, Harold’s evaluation will fall to the ground, and I feel bad if I don’t take any measures. Te … “

” I can’t think of what to say. Such a thing would have fallen and covered in mud. “

“But …”

“But what? You feel like” Clara and Colette have fallen into Broche village and are still alive. ” “?”

“No way! I don’t say that fact even if I die”

(-Eh?)

Erica’s head turns white when she hears the conversation between them.

What did Harold say? Are the servant and his daughter, Clara and Colette alive?

What did Zen say? Is that the case?

The shock received exceeds last night’s confession of murder. Erica can only listen to the story of the two with their thoughts and body frozen.

“Don’t think it’s meaningless. If my parents know that they’re alive, I’m suspicious. That probability should be completely eliminated. It’s a decision. “

” I know that, but why don’t you tell Erica the truth? I’m really depressed because I believed in the rumors of the example. “

“Absolutely no good”

Clear refusal.

If there is temperature in the voice, it is definitely below freezing. Zen’s and Erica’s spine freezes in an instant.

“… Why?”

Zen asks uncontrollable questions.

Why does Harold reject Erica so much? That’s because Harold considers Erica to be, in a sense, the most alarming person in the world of Brave Hearts.

The character Erica is characterized by kindness. However, “too much” is attached before that.

The original Harold was a mass of people’s consciousness that he was a special person and that other human beings were allowed to do anything. So he calmly killed his servants, discriminated against and oppressed the powerless folk grass, and even turned the entire town into a sea of fire and sacrificed it to monsters in order to survive.

After all that villainy, Erica hated Harold but suffered from being a fiancee.

The reason is that I was indebted to the financial support from the Stokes family. If you think about it normally, you might be at risk of losing your family name, such as the connection with Stokes, but that’s probably because of the game scenario that makes Erica’s event exciting.

And this stupidly pierced kindness could strip Harold’s fangs in the future.

First of all, Harold’s goal is to survive without dying. What I think is necessary for that is avoiding the death flag and clearing the original scenario.

The former need not be explained. The reason for the latter is that if Las Boss cannot be defeated, almost all humans on the continent, including Harold, will die.

Although it is not confirmed, its probability is extremely high, guessing from the in-game information. It was a story that if the runaway of Las Boss could not be stopped, the only continent in the world would sink.

In other words, even if I avoided the death flag, it was too dissociated from the original and the boss could not be defeated, which is meaningless.

The protagonists need to clear the scenario, and Erica is a valuable recovery player in the protagonist party. The difficulty of the capture changes without her.

Since it has a great influence on the survival rate, Erica must definitely be a member of the protagonist for Harold.

Furthermore, there is a faint hope that if you clear the scenario as in the original, you will be able to return to the original world. Or rather, I can only think of such a means for returning to the original world.

Returning to the story here, Erica, who couldn’t even abandon the original Harold until the last minute, gained common sense and conscience, and even Amatsu got into the predicament of the Summeragi family. What if I see Harold reaching out?

I don’t want to imagine it, but I might accept the engagement positively. Well that’s still good.

But what if that doesn’t make you a member of the protagonist? That’s what Harold is afraid of.

So Harold, who can’t take the wrong path to avoid the death flag, glared that it would be less risky to be hated by Erica for everything else. You can affirm that her liking is shit.

It would be a little easier if I could explain that, but I would be suspicious of my head condition. I decided to make up a suitable reason to prevent the pursuit.

Harold speaks after breaking a long silence.

“… he was crying”

“What?”

” I don’t know if I killed a person or if I thought of a parent and child killed by me, but in any case he was heartbroken and wept for others. I can only think of him as an idiot. ”

The memory of last night revived. A tear was firmly engraved on Erica’s cheek, illuminated by the moonlight.

It’s terribly annoying, but it’s certainly Erica’s virtue.

“And at the same time, he’s too kind. That’s the kindness of the weak who can only have mercy on the other person. If such a person tries to walk with me, countless wounds

“So are you intentionally moving away? Thinking for Erica …”

” Don’t skip the ridiculous thing. Why do I have to think for him. I just wish to marry a troublesome woman who cries every time. “

Harold’s words pierce Erica’s chest deeply. Very sharp, but pain that is completely different from last night.

Conscience, self-loathing, regret.

Negative emotions erupt one after another and try to swallow Erica. Neither the waves of emotions nor Harold’s words stop.

“That’s … isn’t Harold going to marry Erica?”

“I don’t think there is one”

“Why are you talking about engagement …”

” If you chew it so that you can understand it, this is an engagement you bought with money. “

The Stokes family who wanted bloodline is abnormally miasma in the forest. It took advantage of the Sumeragi family, whose profits in the forestry industry, which was the mainstay of the economy, had dropped significantly due to the outbreak.

Can Sumeragi recover from the unprecedented disaster of an abnormal miasma in the whole continent, or can the borrowed money be repaid? This is the result of the Stokes family going to sell their grace without thinking ahead, while the owners of the country and other territories stepped up for large-scale financial assistance due to such various circumstances.

I noticed that there was Zen who knew the thoughts and circumstances of both families.

“If so, wouldn’t it be a fatal injury to the Summeragi family?”

Certainly Harold is unilateral, as Zen says. If the engagement is abandoned and there is no financial support, the Sumeragi territory will not be able to stand in the near future. Well, Harold’s crap wouldn’t allow his pedigree-obsessed parents to break his engagement.

However, Harold has no intention of being at the mercy of it.

“I’ve already done it. It’s an antibody drug and LP farming method for that.” By taking that medicine, you can still clear the forest. The miasma will gradually expand until the protagonist gang resolves, but in other words it shouldn’t spread beyond the game.

The letter to the task also digs up the map of the game from memory and reports the maximum expected pollution range. If the maximum damage can be estimated in advance, Sumeragi will be able to draw a line of defense.

In addition, we intend to provide know-how on LP farming methods. However, the prospect is not yet clear, so I kept it in the letter with a smoky expression that “we are also considering providing industrial technology.”

After receiving the explanation without the game knowledge, Zen leaked it as if he was disappointed.

“Did you think about that …”

I’ve never heard of antibody drugs and letters, and I’ve also learned about LP farming. Zen has no choice but to marvel at the fact that such a speculation was hidden. How far is this boy looking to the future?

And Zen isn’t the only one who is surprised. Erica, who is holding her breath, was also shocked by Harold’s foresight and thoughtfulness.

Harold was aware of Sumeragi’s crisis in advance. That’s right before the talk of engagement, just after the miasma.

Given that, I am convinced that it was possible to obtain information on the ingredients necessary for the drug even a few days after the engagement was decided.

That means Harold was doing his best to save Summeragi, who should have been completely irrelevant. He would insist that he did it to sell his favor, but if you balance the money and effort it takes to develop the drug, there is little benefit to saving the Sumeragi family. Especially for Harold, who may not be pure-blooded in the first place.

Erica’s view is blurred in his thoughts by his dedication.

To be honest, this was a decision that Harold had a lot of trouble with.

It is clear that Erica will feel more than the original if it is known that she is providing this much support. Then, the reason why he took an action that was not in the original was because he wanted Patronage.

Stokes can’t move freely in a place where the couple can see, and it’s hard to gather people to take action.

Harold decided to use the fiancée’s cover to reach the Sumeragi family. He intended to trust the personality of the task he was familiar with in the game. With the help of his compassionate, understanding, and personal connections, it will be easier to support the protagonists from the shadows.

Providing antibody drugs to delay the cooling of the industry, moisturizing the economy with LP farming, and recovering forestry if the protagonist clears up the event of miasma. Then, without the support of the Stokes family, territorial management would be fine and Erica’s engagement wouldn’t hurt.

Moreover, I wrote in that letter that Harold could offer to destroy it.

(It’s a very “grace” parade full of counting roles. It doesn’t feel like a push, but if you don’t make an unreasonable request, it will cooperate with most tasks.)

It’s not self-confidence but conviction.

There was only one concern. That concern, which would be classified as an “unreasonable request,” is also related to Zen in front of me, and I just warn him.

“Oh, then you should think about how to swing”

“What do you mean?”

Harold further reduces the volume of voice that was adjusted so that it could not be heard outside the room. The voice was barely audible to Erica lurking in the closet.

“As I said before, the Stokes family is in danger of declining in the near future. If you don’t want to be unemployed, it’s wise to be prepared.”

“But you should spread LP farming to prevent it?”

“Unless you manage the current heavy tax and splurge I can only do it. I can turn my hand, but it doesn’t always work. I’m not going to arrange you, so I’ll do something myself. “

Always Zen, who seems to be in good weather, is upset by this.

Harold who speaks as if it were natural is strange.

“What happens to the people in the Stokes territory if that happens?” I wouldn’t do it. “

Awkward tone. However, Erica has come up with a name that cannot be overlooked.

(Why is your father here …?)

“Um … what do you mean?”

“I plead with the Sumeragi side to prevent the territory from being treated unfairly if the Stokes family falls in the letter. No. “

A petition does not mean that you want Sumeragi to feed you. Sumeragi, who has a close relationship with the Royal Family, expects some humor and support.

I don’t know if he will accept this “request”, so it can be said that he sold his favor excessively.

(Maybe it will be the territory of another aristocrat, and I hope there will be more decent humans)

By that time, I wouldn’t be here. I was ready to throw it to my successor.

“That’s why. If you break the prohibition of no other words, you can’t do it.”

“Wow, I understand. I haven’t told anyone …? “

Harold’s sharp eyes shook Zen’s voice. Harold was unaware at this time that there were other reasons for the trembling, and Zen’s phrase “I didn’t say it.”

Well, even if it’s hidden in the closet here Natural enemy Erica 》 It was too late to notice the existence of .
