A few days after Grania gave Sophie and Tio ring-shaped magic props for anti-magic interference before returning to the northwest city, Shirley was often sighing.

If it was really the magicians of the Empire who were implying to their daughters, they could see the identity of the mastermind behind them with no response.

Shirley has no fear. However, it is imperative to become a snake if you hand it poorly, and it is clear that the snake possesses some form of poison that distorts the future of Sophie and Tio.

Not sure yet, but there is no reason why imperial magicians should bother targeting the general public in their neighboring countries. Shirley understood that it was unlikely that the pervert could have seen his daughter when he occasionally came to the kingdom.

(If imperials have reason to target my daughters, Sophie and Tio, while keeping me punished as a criminal...... I don't like how you can think of anything other than that man's blood flowing to the two of you)

The face of Alberto Ragdor, former fiancé and current emperor who betrayed all of Shirley, passes behind his brain.

I don't even know what happened to Shirley who went down to the city well, but the kingdom and empire are in a state of tension with extremely few people coming and going.

It's hard to imagine a pervert in an empire grabbing two girls until he takes a risk, and it's convincing if what he tries to gain until he takes a risk is the next heir to the throne.

(If you do poorly, it is the only thing that is abominable, such as something commensurate with the risk of developing into an international problem, but you still can't solve it. Assuming that's the case, why don't you do something to make your kids money?

It is clear that children of noble daughters deserve more as heirs than children of women pursued as criminals. Even if the Queen can't have children, marrying a side chamber should solve the problem.

(... or do you think that apart from inheritance rights, there's something (...) for those kids that the Empire just wants?

No, I can't say enough. I don't see any particular change in Shirley's ability to see through all of her powers, but it is extremely rare but possible that she will suddenly have a tremendous amount of magic.

Are you trying to foresee it with predictive witchcraft and take it to the empire on account of it because by chance it is drawing the blood of the emperor?

... Muscle seems to be coming through, but still lacks the key information to be sure.

(You can't. No matter how much speculation you make, you can't reach certainty. To affirm that you will protect Sophie and Tio if their purpose is unclear and you can't predict the process...... no, you don't)

It's easy to protect. You just have to kill the harm in front of you. The problem is telling my beloved daughters about my blood muscles and the heavy pressures that go with them.

Whether you live in the city unwittingly or in a castle while being treated politely, that's all that matters.

It is natural to be crushed in other futures to spare the heirs what if the time occurs, and in the worst case, they can take their lives.

Then I don't know why I should go through with it, and I don't. I think it sounds stupid from Shirley, but the blood muscles flowing through the twins would make the country and the public think this.

- Put them at the foundation of the country.

If this unfounded anxiety is real, it will be difficult to guide even if it can be protected. It is so troublesome to speak of the will of the world and the power of the powerful.

If I had the skill to fight just an adventurer, I'd have to physically smash it until it's irreversible. But when Sophie and Tio are seen with white eyes from around them, it's the end of the line.

…… Mother, I haven't been well lately, but are you okay?

"Yeah, there's no problem. I'm just a little bit more thought-provoked, and I'm not tired."

The troubles grew with each passing day, and at the end of the day, my daughter was going to feel it and give me anxiety.

If you are really naughty, you will continue to search for ways to open it, overflowing with stupidity in your heart. However, he was unlikely to be able to control the public without power.

It was in the square of the Adventurer's Guild that Shirley took her feet, dropping off her daughter who would always go to school without answers in the end.

To shake my sword once and empty my head and reset my confused thoughts. If you put aside time, the situation might change, and a proposal might come to mind.

…………

In the centre of the square is planted a single tree that creates a wide range of shades, with countless leaves of trees splashed from branches that sway in the wind. As the leaf blizzard dancing as she poured into Shirley's midst, she smelled a curved sword with magic and swung it through at a speed that left no remnants.

Then what happened, one leaf increased to two in the air. If you keep waving your sword four times, now four leaves increase to eight.

A technique exists to peel a thick sheet of paper into two pieces, such as a hella, but the flash Shirley showed is exactly its reproduction.

Originally, it is a technique that boasts a high degree of difficulty even when placed on a desk, but the technique of dividing the leaves of a tree into two pieces with different dimensions, shaking in the air and not uniform distortion, deviates from the scope of common sense, but the person in question has the expression of not sticking together.

"……… you still have a little bit of clutter mixed up"

Thoughtless is one of the limits of the sword. As if to truncate that last distortion, the wind stops and swings through the last one falling from the tree with a sword from the diagonal top.

But the sword never broke the tree leaf. The sword seems dull, but that's not the same. The leaves that touched the sword directly did not contain a single slice and broke the one that fell to the ground at the end of its trajectory.

"Phew… this is fine."

If he was a swordsman, Shirley turned to the entrance to the square when he cleaned up the sword moves that only looked like divine moves with the phrase "this kind of thing" and sprayed the temporary first sword in his hand with magic.

"If you want to use it, will you leave?

"... Ba, were you found out?

The entrance that unites with the Alliance's building, the shaded walls, are the totally familiar Leia and Cood, and Kyle's three young men.

"I was going to sneak up on you...... I knew it was you? You can tell by signs or something?

"From the beginning (...) If they send you an impudent gaze, you'll notice it even if you don't like it"

Apparently, he was also sensed what time he arrived. The three of them laughing a bumpy half somewhere, but spread the conversation in a way that they didn't care about Shirley.

"Are you still training today? Looks like you've been putting on a lot of heat lately."

"Well. Now we're going to the Giant Bug Crusade by ourselves, and we're going to have a collaboration meeting."

"Oh... I see."

Shirley has a distant eye somewhere. Giant goblins are called demons for rushing out like slimes and goblins.

It is a bug-shaped demon with no magical power or wisdom, which is quick in human size and has no characteristics other than to act in groups.

He is definitely an easy opponent to defeat compared to slime and witty goblins with irregular strength, and Shirley has also been there to defeat him by the time he ran out.

"By the way... have you ever seen what kind of monster a giant goose is?

"Uh... I've never seen it, but it's definitely a demon that feels like a big bug, isn't it? I've seen it before if it's an orgata rantula."

"Isn't your unexpected encounter (encount) rate strange?

"... Honestly, I'm starting to feel like you should stop by next time"

This boy named Kyle, on his first adventure, he encountered the ground dragon, and on his next adventure he encountered the goblin queen, and since partying, he has encountered the ancient dragon, but for some reason after the Battle of the Dragon King he has also been an E-rank, but for some reason he just went on a herbal hunt with a demon of B to A-rank equivalent and an adventure destination.

He has also encountered Augata Rantura, who apparently sometimes preys on dragons without Shirley knowing what way she is loved by the goddess of luck.

Shirley, who was still likely to come out for this minute, but had an absolution mark that he couldn't derail him any more, is forced to return to the story.

"Well, let's get back to it, the battle against giant gossip is more of a battle of the mind than a battle of power, so keep your mind together."

"? I don't know...... the athletes are serious when they go on adventures, so it's okay! Whatever Cood is."

"Yeah, well, you said every hour that a flash of alarm would kill you, didn't you? We're growing up, too, aren't we? Leia anyway."

"Ah?"

"Oh?"

It's unconvincing to see the two of you grabbing each other's chests and starting to stare at each other from close range.

"Well, everything is an experience. In times of need, if you really run away, you will survive, and make sure you are not under-prepared or unprepared for your goods."

"But in the end, what kind of monster is Giant Gossip?

"……… make sure with your own eyes"

"…… I've been wondering just now, why did you have a distant eye from earlier?

I think about what happened about ten years ago. If you briefly describe the appearance of a giant goose, it is a cockroach with the size of an adult male.

The tactile sensation moves pico and the whole body glows black. The appearance of spine-grown six-legs crawling around at high speeds would force any resilient warrior or innocent saint to scream if it were to become huge, even though physiological disgust is not half the size of coming out of the kitchen.

Because it forms a herd in narrow caves and underground waterways, there is mental tightness in a completely different vector from the exchange of life.

But sometimes the time comes when we have to venture the unknown into the unknown. Though they tend to mistake it for goblins and slimes, Shirley turned her mind into a ghost and lay low on information about the giant monster, the first time she felt in a hurry at Shirley's request.

"Um… Shirley."

"What?

"Maybe... no, it could be my mistake... is there something bothering you too?

To Kyle's words, Shirley jumps his heart hard, uninhabited.

"……… What makes you think that?

"No, somehow what, but when I was waving my sword earlier, I didn't seem to be able to concentrate until the end... sorry if I made a mistake, I was weird."

Shirley was impoverished with a response when she never thought the boy who was only about half as alive would spot her troubles.

Would it have appeared so plainly on your face? Unexpectedly put her hand on her cheek, but realizing that the trick was like telling her it was a star, she groaned with a blurry look at Leia and Cood, who were still having a grasping fight.

"That's right...... in the face of a bit of annoying troubles"

"After all, it's about your daughter, isn't it?

"Yep. If this was about me, I wouldn't have bothered you so much."

Shirley will not reveal details and Kyle will not step in any further. Kyle himself doesn't think it's a good story to step in with some atmosphere without knowing what's going on.

(True, how easy it would have been if this was a private matter)

I can tolerate some damage if it's about me. But that's not the case with my daughter. And in this case, I have a similar feeling of certainty that Shirley herself is likely to have some strong influence on her daughter's future if she intervenes in depth.

(No matter what we substitute, we just have to protect the future of the two of us... yes, whatever we substitute)

That's even if it cost you your life. I've never gone beyond that if it's just a concern, but I don't remember happening to Shirley's life in such a convenient situation.

I will solidify my daughter's choice by myself and her determination not to protect her future, which no one will ever be able to do. It was then that I heard a serious voice somewhere lit up.

"Ah, um......! If you have any trouble with that...... yes, please! Please make a request!

"Mr. Kyle?

"No, I'll help you with anything, even if you don't have a request, but I thought that would make me feel comfortable... ho, let me know if you're in real trouble! I'll rush you anytime!

Empire...... it was also the shadow of my former fiancée that brought me back to the previous Shirley where I unconsciously donated nothing, Kyle, who for some reason asks me to move my hands busily with blushes such as imperative over myself.

I may be rude, but the look was somewhere funny, and Shirley smiled a small smile at her pitiful beauty.

"Right… it was a little different than it used to be"

"Uh... uh, excuse me for something. All of a sudden I said something weird."

"I don't have to apologize."

Yes, there's no need to apologize. I was noticed because of it.

(Interpreted, the past is the past. Unlike then, when there was no one on our side in the empire)

Not like when I was a little girl who was betrayed by those who believed and just had to despair. Shirley now has the power, reward, romantic and connected edge, not something she can't even see through her emotional powers.

I feel indescribable when I think such a boy has noticed me, but the feeling of depression under stuck circumstances was strangely clear.
