Happy new year.

Stokes’s mansion, which has returned for the first time in about three weeks, did not seem to have changed. The only change that would be made would be for Jake to start self-cultivation in his garden using LP farming.

Apparently, I was skeptical just by listening to the story.

However, Jake, who found hope in LP farming to escape from financial difficulties, is energetically working toward trial operation.

Norman also works well under the water, so my parents haven’t instincted me. Up to this point, it was as planned.

Then, about 10 days after returning from the Sumeragi territory, one day the trial operation of the LP farming method was imminent. The news of the visitor arrived at Kazuki, who was training his daily routine.

“Are you a visitor to me?”

“Yes, that’s right”

Even if I was suddenly told such a thing, I had no idea. As expected, I don’t know Harold’s childhood friendship.

“What is the name of the visitor?”

“I’m Erica Sumeragi”

Kazuki stopped the sword he was waving at the name Norman said.

(Why Erica is coming …)

Troublesome during the delicately busy period just before the start of the trial operation of LP farming. It was Kazuki’s true feeling that he should forgive me.

What is it for? I don’t think I would bother to come to see the person who had been cursed for the first time.

If possible, it would be some response to the example letter. I wasn’t convinced that Erica was selected as the messenger.

Anyway, even if I think in the backyard with my sword in my hand, I can’t tell.

“Go to the terrace”

Hayden is absent from work, but his mother, Jessica, is at home. Since we are holding an aristocratic mama friendship in the party room today, the chances of encountering it indoors are low, but we will choose a place that is as unobtrusive as possible because of the letter.

If it’s true, my room is the best, but if I suddenly bring in my fiancé, it would be misleading, so I weighted myself. I don’t think there was any misunderstanding between 10-year-olds, but just in case.

For the time being, Kazuki goes to the terrace after flushing the sweat with water and changing clothes.

There was Erica, a waiter at the Stokes family, enjoying brewed tea.

Unlike the kimono of the other day, today’s outfit is a shosei wearing a hakama. It is a very disproportionate sight to stand in a pure Japanese style and sit on a Western style wood chair.

“What did you come to do?”

While sitting in the opposite seat, Harold makes a moody voice.

I couldn’t ask anyone about the letter, so I waved my hand and lowered the waitperson.

“Isn’t the first voice in this case usually” I’m sorry to have kept you waiting “?”

As Kazuki I’m going to say something similar. It just doesn’t reflect any words or nuances.

It may be that the real intention that it is troublesome to deal with the other party has exuded.

“I’m not free unlike you. I’m grateful that I just showed my face like this.”

” Hmm … I’m sure it’s bad that I visited suddenly … “

Erica is terrified when she is hit by the truth.

I’m right, but I feel like I’m bullying when I’m shun because the other person is a child.

“Hmm, well. What’s your business?”

Kazuki, who had a conscience, decided to move on. did.

Erica instantly creates a dignified atmosphere by observing the atmosphere of Harold.

“First of all, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Summeragi family. Thank you for saving many people this time.”

Erica bows deeply. The fact that he was saved probably means that Kazuki made the compound item he wrote in the letter and actually used it to have an effect.

The task received the letter about 20 days ago. Considering the time lag, it means that Kazuki left and tried it immediately.

Action is quicker than expected.

“It seems that Summeragi is being driven to jump on such an eyebrows”

Harold as if laughing Erica, on the other hand, does not lose her expression.

“As Harold said, there was no way for Summeragi at the moment.”

“If so, the benefits are high. I’ll leave it, but don’t get me wrong. “

” What do you mean? “

” I presented it to you. It’s just a symptomatic treatment. It doesn’t have to be a fundamental solution and it doesn’t mean that there are no side effects. ” You have to try different proportions by trial and error for each amount. For that reason, Kazuki never thought that the effect would come out so quickly.

In addition, it is completely unknown whether side effects are caused by large doses or long-term administration, and the extent to which they are not drawn in the game.

Of course, I also wrote about them to the task.

Sumeragi may be stuck enough to weigh those risks.

“That is, Harold-sama’s medicine will not cure it completely.”

“If the symptoms are mild, it may be possible to cure it.” But it’s impossible for critically ill patients, and I’m not going to take care of it that much. “

Because it’s the Liners protagonist gang that solves it, Erica goes to the protagonist party. This is because it is also an event that triggers participation.

It may be a cold word, but Erica knows it.

Even though he is a fiancé, he is a political marriage. The Stokes family can keep their face with a minimum of in-law, such as supplies and financial assistance.

Still, Harold bothered–

(Made …? “Medicine”?)

Erica’s crazy question.

That is when Harold made that medicine.

It’s impossible after the engagement with Erica is decided. It turns out that even Erica, who has no specialized knowledge, is completely impossible to develop a drug in just a few days.

Isn’t it made by Harold just by knowing it as knowledge? Earlier, when Erica said “Harold-sama’s medicine,” he neither affirmed nor denied.

Harold has a stance of “presenting symptomatic treatment”.

However, it’s unlikely that Harold knows what Sumeragi hasn’t found a valid solution to.

Even if that is the case, if there are clinical cases that can be proved to be effective, there should be appropriate materials and literature. It’s strange that you don’t really know about the side effects.

(Then how on earth …?)

“Is this your only requirement?”

It was Harold’s voice that didn’t try to hide his awkwardness that interrupted Erica’s thoughts as he was about to dive deep.

Even if you don’t like the atmosphere of trying to turn back, you can feel it.

“I still have it. I have kept a letter from my father to Harold.”

“Move in”

Erica seems to have been selected as a messenger.

Maybe he decided that the task was lacking in gratitude with letters alone and wanted to express his gratitude directly.

Erica looks at the letter from the task, with a little sympathy for her, wondering if Erica is also reluctant.

The content is as expected.

The drug in the example was effective, and there have been no problems with side effects and other precautions so far, but the intention is to carefully observe the progress. There was something, and words of gratitude to Harold were spelled out.

Well, that’s what I can report to here at this point.

If you tell the task that you’ve read the letter and wait, you shouldn’t have to interfere anymore.

(Hmm?)

One more stationery was piled up behind the stationery that I thought was a two-sheet set. Notice that. The writing had the word “postscript”.

“Postscript

As you know, the land of Summeragi is now in an unusual situation and is busy dealing with it. I’m standing up. We don’t even know when an unforeseen event will occur just because of an unprecedented event.

I’m sorry to hear that, but I have a consultation with you. I’m very sorry, but could Erica be kept at the Stokes house for a while? It may be disqualified as the main person, but as a father who thinks about an important daughter– ”

After reading that far, Kazuki takes his eyes off the letter. did. Rubbing the inner corner of the eye, thinking that it may have been caused by eye strain, look back at the letter and read it from the beginning.

However, even if I did that, there was no change in the wording that I wanted Erica to help her personal safety.

I held my head with both hands and endured that I was about to lie down on the table, but the squeezed voice still contained grudges.

“What are you going to do, this is …”

“What did you do?”

Kazuki silently puts a stationery with postscript in front of Erica.

After reading it, Erica uttered a surprising line in a light tone.

“Well, this was a problem. Even if you are a fiancee, you will be inconvenienced by living under the same roof.”

“… Hey”

“But the carriage that carried me has already returned. I have no choice but to help with mercy. “

” Hey you “

” Yes, what? “

Erica smiles with a smile. It was a big smile to show for the first time.

“Don’t have a good guts”

“I’m honored to be complimented”

Harold’s irony returns with a cool face Erica. It seems that she is aware of this case, not the task’s discretion.

So Erica is trying to stay here for some purpose.

Not because it’s just a fiancé. In the task, Erica tells the Stokes family how to avoid having a bride.

Well, that’s only if the task believes in the contents of the letter, but even if it doesn’t, I have no idea why Erica is being sent.

In addition, Erica’s words and actions are confusing Kazuki.

In the game, there was certainly a depiction of a playful and modest mischief, but even though it was a verbal exchange, it was never a personality to give back.

It wasn’t until then that the mental aspect wasn’t fully matured, but the gap was enough to mislead Kazuki.

“There is no reason to listen to such a one-sided offer.” Kazuki didn’t hesitate to poke it.

This is because it was judged that there was no problem considering the personality of the task and the current situation of Summeragi.

If this breaks the relationship between Stokes and Summeragi a little, that’s what Kazuki wants.

I hope it will help you to break your engagement.

“You’re the one who can’t get along. People in other territories can save you, but your fiancée treats you unconditionally.”

Erica makes a sad look on this look.

Ichiki’s heart doesn’t shake even if it’s a “made” expression, unlike when he was angry.

“Because I stepped on that I could sell a high grace, but there is little reward for me in this matter.”

“Yes. I can’t ask Harold anymore if I’m told that much. “

Erica, who stood up quickly, bowed deeply to Harold again.

“Thank you again to Harold. Thank you very much for saving the people of Summeragi.”

This is the tatami mat. I felt that Erica’s true heart could be seen in the polite courtesy that I thought I would have had three fingers on the top.

Kazuki feels that her feelings for the people are genuine. However, I have no motivation to admit the presence.

“I’ll collect this loan in a big way later. At best, I’ll increase the number of cards that can be cut now.”

“I’m so painful that I’m worried. I’m sorry.”

After saying that, Erica left Stokes’s mansion with a stagnant step.

It’s been a while since I was suspicious that I had withdrawn easily, but I wondered how I was going to go home even though I didn’t have a carriage. It was after that.

Hayden’s mouth will tell you the answer a few hours later.
