”Hm? What's the matter Farah?”
”You're an SSS Ranker right?”
”I was a former one, yes”
”But Marquis-sama said there were two SSS Rankers present… does that mean…”
Farah slowly glanced her direction to the elderly person
”Ara? Have you perhaps not introduced yourselves yet?”
When Marquis said so, Judom and the elder expressed a wry smile
”Judom-sama?”
”It's as you think…how do I say it, despite what he looks like, this old man is also an SSS Ranker”
”…excuse me?”
”Well, I'h”
Even though the old er a mistake
”Then, that means…”
”Let me introduce him Fara, this old h right now he's just a poor doctor, he's Tendok gramps”
”T-Tendok!? If I'm not mistaken, that name was known to be the 『The Great Doctor』 who had traveled around the world treating numerous kind of injuries and diseases!”

”Tendok-sama…”
”I have learned froo And he's also the one who nursed you for three whole days”
”I-is that so I apologize if I had troubled you a lot And I also wish to expressme in these past few days”
(TL Note: New name: テンドクってジイサン
Tendoku tte jiisan, I read it as Tendok graest better names)
Tendok sently when Farah bowed politely towards him
”No need to, you don't have toa young girl like yourself with such an unbecoht I was going to die”
”A-are you alright!?”
”Hey old man, Farah's an honest child, she would really believe your joke if you leave it as it is you know?”
”It was a joke!?”
Tendok heartily laughed in response to her e her, and Judoh when he saw them
”Ufufu, looks fun”
Marquis made a warm smile in face of the appearance of the three
”This oldback to the topic, I agree that we can't take back the country with just the two us, but I have some comrades ould help me do it”
”…like the people outside of this shed?”
”Yeah, I can even su force of our own Does it still not suffice with this?”
”Yes, it's insufficient”
This woman was really a frank one Judom unexpectedly expressed a wry smile in response to her remark
”Have you experienced fighting against Avoros before?”
”Direct confrontation? Yeah”
”I see”
”But the one I fought back then was his subordinate, Aquinas”
”Heh, that Aquinas, huh?”
”You know him?”
”Yes, just a little bit He was a fine warrior aood sense But I believe you know this best since you've fought with him”
”I agree He's a guy who fights fair A guy who always fight head on”
”However, Avoros is different”
”……”
”He would use anything to acco up traps is so he would naturally d He's sly and cruel…the worst opponent for you”
Judom felt that Marquis seemed to have a close relationshi+p with Avoros as he witnessed her bitter expression when she was speaking
”…say Marquis, if it's alright with you, won't you fight with us?”
”Eh?”
”Although I say fight, I won't force you to actually fight anyone against your will I understand that even you wanted to regain soht this ith your own terms, how about it?”
”Judom…”
”I do not knohat burden you are actually carrying, but at least, a wo such a sad expression”
”…you ret it you know? I carry a tremendous bomb after all”
”Hey now, don't take htly If a woman carries a bomb, wouldn't a man try and share the burden with her?”
”You really are…ufufu, a foolish person”
In so expression on top of her usual However, she refused his offered quietly
”Thank you for the offer Judos I have yet to do It was due to your words, that I reain”
”…that's unfortunate”
”To tell you the truth, back then, I was about to abandon both of you”
The three people became silent as they listened to her story
”…but I couldn't”
Marquis then stares at Farah's face And Farah who doesn't understand the strange gesture of her, inclined her neck in confusion
”Because you were a princess…I could sympathize with you”
”Eh?”
The sile, almost transient When she turned her heels back,
”Say Judom, I have one more advice for you”
”What is it?”
”If you are planning to fight, I recommend a certain person”
”A certain person?”
”Yes To be specific, a young boy”
”A young boy…”
”I'm sure that person would help you If it's that boy he would…”
Marquis went straight out when she opened the door
”W-wait aboy you speak of?”
When Judom asked in panic, Marquis turned her face sideways and said the boy's name
