Carrying on memories, the Forxuz House that served the Walt The tribe that carried the power of Novem, the one called an evil God

There was much to think about, but before that… I needed to concentrate on my father, Maizel Walt

Night

Lying down in Porter’s loading tray, I sent my consciousness in to the Jewel

I was called there by the Seventh, and I could somewhat understand the reason he called me over If he wanted to talk, I only had to find a spot I could talk to him alone

If that wasn’t the case, there was so he wanted me to see… it meant the time had come for him to show me his memory

The Seventh waited across the table, the Third wasn’t anywhere around

“Where’s the Third?”

『He left his seat He probably thought it wasn’t necessary to watch over us Of all else, theto show you is… it would be faster just to show you』

Saying that, I chased after the Seventh as he walked towards his room, and followed into his room of memories

There, the scene I saas the Seventh in his younger days

The young Seventh… Brod Walt was in tears

『… Aunty』

It was the parlor of the Walt House e, and a wagon for the luggage The wagon had a roof strung over it as well What’sthe horses around

It see valuable loaded onto it, and the Sixth Generation Head Fiennes, and even the Fifth Generation Fredricks had come out

Fiennes patted Brod’s head

『Don’t look so sad To Milleia, this offer was her last chance It would be pitiful to see her alone forever, dammit』

I looked at the Seventh standing beside me

“Doesn’t the Sixth sound just a bit rude?”

The Seventh nodded

『You’re right Well, he’s the sort of person who can say such things and be forgiven』

Milleia-san laughed The Fifth, Fredricks had taken a bit of distance, not trying to add himself to the conversation

『Brother, youwhoI do understand that this is my final chance Well then, Brod-kun, I’ll be off』

Milleia-san leaned over toat the boy

『You’ll find someone Someone better than me… and be sure to avoid twisted people like me Because you’re quite the earnest one, Brod-kun』

As she laughed a bit, Fiennes came in from the side

『What’s up? What are you thispering about?』

As Fiennes sent a s” How fitting of her, I guess

And without looking at the Seventh’s face, I…

“… Could it be your first love was…”

『Probably e When I was in the mansion, she was a conversation partner Father was always busy, but more than that, the only one who ever understood my troubles was aunty』

The surrounding scenery went grey, and once it faded away, a different scene took its place In it, Milleia-san and Brod were doing so in the yard

Preparing soun that could only load one cartridge

Regaining its color, the scene slowly began to move

『It’s painful to be compared to my brothers? That’s a poser I’ the halberd onto you because he’s eager to teach I doubt he’s thinking as far as having you surpass hi like that』

Hanging his head, Brod raised his face a bit, and looked at Milleia-san’s gun

『… Even if that’s how father feels, that’s not how the others will think Uun?』

Milleia-san looked a little surprised, trying to say soave Brod a smile

『Well, there’s nothing to be lost in learning soet tolike this』

Saying that, she took a stance without even looking at the target, and discharged a bulled right into its center On the other side, the bullet embedded into the wall

『T-this is it If I have this, I can perform like my father!』

In regards to Brod’s joy, Milleia-san gave a bit of a troubled smile

『I don’t think you have to be so mindful of it Even my brother isn’t a perfect head, after all I think it’s best you try to become the sort of Walt House head that suites you』

But even hearing her words, Brod cast his eyes doards

『… I’ But everyone around siI’ as him』

Milleia-san consoled him

『The previous generation Fredricks was small-built, but even so, he used his oay to…』

『But he was still strong! Everyone says father and grandfather were aeneration, the Walt House… has always been a strong lineage But I… I’m…』

I looked at the Seventh There, he looked a little embarrassed

『At the tirandfather’s… the Sixth and Fifth’s backs I thought of theet passed I h heavens And also The Walt House continued to grow I could feel it weighing down on me』

I got the feeling I understood him a bit My father Maizel Walt was the same He pursued what it meant to be a noble

Thinking back on it now, he pursued it too far Different from me, who cah Seventh, and came to a conclusion from that

Grown on the beautified hearsay of his ancestors, the Seventh stood within a great pressure

『It grew heavier by the generation We have to leave stories for the next one And how are they going to speak of us? The obligations and responsibilities grew heavier the larger the house grew The more my father won, the more the Walt House’s fa it』

As I was listening seriously, the Seventh gave a purposeful clearing of his throat

『Anyways, it’s that If you’re asking what I want to say… I want to see randchild’s face』

After I opened my mouth and stared blankly a while…

“Eh? That? Just hoas that related to the story? Rather, what are you even talking about?”

As I stared at hi in hand gestures

『No, I enerations pile up, but it isn’t all bad things And also If you don’t have children, the house falls to ruin』

He does have a point But when it was such a serious talk, as to think it would suddenly turn to that?

There, the Seventh muttered

『… Lyle, if you fight Maizel, there’s a chance one of you will die No, I’m sure one of you will And Maizel’s Zenoire’s boy Just as you were talented, Maizel was talented as well So originally, I was just thinking it best you left a child before you go off to battle』

I spoke to the Seventh

“If we lose, everything’s lost regardless”

『Even so There’s a large problem But if you don’t have any children, you’ve no one to carry it on No h you raise your enterprise, if there’s no one to succeed it, it only real wives and factions, having all those proble a child at all』

As I stood unable to answer, he went on

『… My honest feelings are so: I don’t want to see you and Maizel fight But there’s no turning back』

It seeht with my father had invited a sense of crisis onto the Seventh Fro Enough that the Seventh had s about my victory…
