“Sis! Sis! Wait on me!”
“Ugh… What is it, Cloe?”
After all of Cloe’s shouting Mariel finally came to a stop.

“Don’t say, “What is it”. You say you suddenly have something to do… But wasn’t your only business with that guy??!”
“You can’t call your own brother “that guy”, Cloe. And again, Alta is Cloe’s idol… Cute little Iris—I mean, Lady Iris’ escort, right?”
“That! Did you know about this!”
“Ufufu, aside from you I know about everyone”
“Wha- Why am I the only one…”
“That’s just how it is. Every time cute little you talks with cute little Alta you always seem so disgruntled. It worries me so.”
“Hm… That’s… It true but…”
The way that Mariel put it left no space for any answer-back.
It true that Cloe gets ill-humored when talking with Alta. … But it’s not like she doesn’t want to talk with him.

“But, he… He has possession of the blade you should have right? The Blue Shell Blade. But then, just a while back I met him at the blacksmith, and he told me that he broke the blade…”
“He broke the blade? The Blue Shell Blade?”
“Yes, yes that’s right! The sword of House Schweiss is—”
“Well… Well well… That’s good”
“Wha-what is good about that?! The Blue Shell Blade is our House’s treasure you know!?”
Cloe had no idea what Mariel was talking about. But there was really no way she could’ve.
The house’s treasure was broken – Cloe had never even heard that the blade could break.
The sword was in possession of some man, unrelated by blood, using it in battle. From Cloe’s perspective this was unheard of, and quite a strange phenomenon. Still, Mariel answered her with a  smile on her face.

“Ufufu, as you are such a fan of Iris who aspires to be a knight you should know this. There is no shame in breaking a sword. That boy used all his might when swinging it – So it must’ve been quite the battle he was in. I am just glad that I am not the one having to fight those battles”
“W-what is that…”
You could see that Mariel was glad from the bottom of her heart – No, she was actually happy I think.
It wasn’t something that Cloe understood, but whereas Mariel should’ve been angry about the Blue Shell Blade breaking, she was actually happy.
And so Cloe, who was sure that Mariel would be angry upon hearing this, was left trembling, unable to continue talking.
Even though Cloe was like this, Mariel kept her usual posture and continued her talk.

“Don’t be so angry. We’re finally in the Kingdom again, so have a little fun, will you? How about we go sightseeing?”
“… The moment I lose you out of sight, you’ll disappear again. So let’s stick together at least”
“ Ufufu, is that so? Well, let’s go together then”
Mariel took Cloe by the hand as they started walking.

“Could you… Let’s not walk hand in hand here…”
“But if I lose you out of sight you’ll disappear again”
“I really don’t want to hear that from you, Mariel”
“Ufufu, I’m kidding. Well, let’s get our business over quickly then”
“Business you say. Where are we headed then?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
Mariel again stopped right where she stood, and turned her head. And then,

“We’re going to meet with the Black Wolves Knight Order’s captain – We’re going to meet with Alta’s superior officer, right?”
She declared bluntly.
