123 123.Alta-chan and Iris-chan (1/2)

I managed to find Marielle and decided to leave the store and talk to her.

As for why she was with Iris in the first place, ...... it was apparently a coincidence.

I was just passing by and I called out to her. She seemed to be in trouble.

It was a coincidence. And you said you were the famous Iris Reinfell, right?　Chloe is a big fan of .......

Chloe is a big fan of .......

No, I'm not!　I've heard rumors about the Princess of the Sword!　Although she is still a student, she is considered to be the strongest swordswoman in the kingdom. ...... I adore her!

No, that's not true. ......

I'm sure you'll love it.

--I don't know what's going on here.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. ...... There's nothing I can do about it, but I do understand why Iris and Mariel were together.

Then I have to ask why Mariel came.

”You came here for me, didn't you, sister-in-law?

”Yes!　Yes, yes, yes. But then Chloe got lost.

No, I didn't get lost!　It's because you disappear all the time. ......!　It's not me that's lost, it's you!　Please don't misunderstand me, Iris!

”Yes, yes, I'm fine. My sister-in-law is a member of ......'s family, isn't she?

Mmm-hmm, yes.

Yes, Alta is my brother-in-law, the teacher ......?　What do you mean?

Chloe suddenly looked at me with a grim expression.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. It's not like I'm hiding it from her. ...... But I think she saw from Chloe's attitude that I wasn't on good terms with her.

I'm now on duty beside her as a knight. As a guard, I also teach at the school she attends.

”......... is -- what?　I'm not sure what that is.　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.

I'm sure that's what it is.

I've always been indebted to you, Mr. Schweizer. I have a lot of respect for him.

Chloe has a complicated look on her face when Iris adds that she admires him.

Chloe has a crush on Iris, but she hates me.

I'm Iris's homeroom teacher and she looks up to me.

Probably, what she just said was an attempt to reconcile me and Chloe. There's no need to try to fix it. ...... As a result, Chloe began to worry alone.

You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.　But that's not the case,.......

Chloe?

I'm not sure what to say. When she gets confused, she goes off into her own world. Leave her alone, okay?

Chloe quieted down as she thought about what Mariel had said.

I asked Mariel again.

So, let's go back to the beginning. ...... What did you want to see me about?

”That's the story. It's not that I have anything important to say. I'd like to hear from you about what you've been up to lately, Alta.
