Vol 13 Chapter 240 (1/2)

Setting Off from Beim

… Within the Jewel

On the area extending across the round table rooround

She caught herself, and stood, before her eyes, Milleia expressionlessly pointing her gun, and pulling the trigger

Bending her body to avoid the bullet, She wrapped threads around Milleia’s arainst the wall But flying through the air, Milleia used the bayonet on her gun to sever the thread, and in her dress, she touched her feet to the wall, and ran down it

Pulling a gun from her frilly sleeve, she fired a round at Milleia, and discarded the handgun Those guns that required a shell exchange after every shot all had bayonets attached,her capable of close-quarter-combat

Miranda ran forward, and tried avoiding the shot, but her thigh was pierced, and she fell flat on the spot

Stooping over in fear, Shannon tried to use her Deunpoint turned to her…

“Eeeek!”

… She cried, and averted her eyes When Milleia’s bullet imbedded itself near her feat, Shannon fell back onto her bottom

Miranda’s injuries recovered, and trying to stand, she ic

That doll of mud blocked the way between her and Milleia Milleia reloaded shells into her guns as she walked forward, heading straight for the large goleht exceeded three meters

“Kuh!”

The golee, but even so, Miranda kneas nothing more than a means to buy time

Frooleht after, it was violently torn up, the gole to the soil

Beyond the cru feature was accompanied by a sweat across Miranda’s face

“… It really is unbelievable”

Her opponent was her own ancestor, and someone related to the Walt House, she was told, but this was definitely out of the norm

To Miranda, Milleia spoke

『What’s with you, looking at soht rude』

Putting away her guns, Milleia stroked her hair, and looked around Seeing Shannon still curled up on the ground, she let out a sigh

『Shannon You eyes are capable of at least thiswith others’for where you have to prick to break them』

While Miranda wiped her sweat, Shannon was on the verge of tears

“It’s impossible! In a situation like that, I can’t see that much!”

Tears pooling in her eyes as she shook her head Milleia looked at Shannon, and dropped her shoulders Lately, they had been entering the Jewel to receive instruction frole one of the Walt House ancestors would pop their faces out

A them, only Milleia was assertively involved with the sisters

『You really are uselessly cute, Shannon』

Fed up, Milleia headed for Shannon, and lent her a hand to stand her up And she used a hand to brush away the dirt on her clothing If left alone, that dirt would fade away, so Miranda thought it a pointless act

“Shannon, help out a bither alone is difficult”

When Miranda complained, Milleia touched a hand to her mouth

『If you can’t beat ine how you’ll fare in what’s to come, Miranda You must properly understand what itthe House Heads’ wives, and daughters, there are a nuer than me』

Hearing that, Miranda felt her head was starting to hurt She didn’t think herself weak, but she was reer And it felt she was she was being shown a lesson by the out-of-the-norm clan called the Walt House

“You mean to say the current me is not worthy?”

On Miranda’s words, Milleia ued expression

『Whether you’re worthy or not… in the end, the one to decide is Lyle, Miranda』

Milleia brought the two of thean to speak

『I’ on the two of you That you’ll support Lyle up But you see, at the same time, I want you both to be happy Miranda who resembles me, and Shannon who inherited my eyes You’re both my cute descendants』

Milleia embraced them, and spoke Miranda was a little e before returning the embrace

Shannon didn’t remember much about her mother, so the shadow of her sister and mother likely overlapped with Milleia for her

『… Once upon a ti, I mean My eyes wouldn’t see A physical disability was a heavy burden on a noble A failure, a disgrace…the retainers were those prejudice againstthere, I was a drawback to the Walt House, they said』

Milleia continued reciting the tale

『But you see The eldest brother was kind He ard, but as he was, he rebelled at the ways of the Walt House, and always opposed my father Perhaps I was the cause of that, but he really treasured me And my father would treat me the same as he would ht being used as an excuse Everyone called hi treated nor to etting lonely easily The Walt House is shouldered by nothing but those sorts… so you have to support it up』

Milleia turned a smile to Miranda and Shannon And with that smile

『And you see Men of the Walt House are quite good at rolling around on their women’s’ palms』

… Shannon was dumbfounded

“… I thought it would turn into a nice story along the way”

She looked severely disappointed As she thought, Milleia was Miranda Miranda reaffirmed it as well

But Milleia spoke

『Hrief, this is why children are… you listening? Now I’ extreet a Walton the palm of your hand』

Miranda reacted a bit, and raised her head

“Trick?”

Shannon looked at her

“Sis… you don’t have to bite on so hard”

Milleia eain, and whispered in their ears…

『The trick is…』
