Everyone in the room, e at the sudden suggest . Since everyone suddenly froze, Karen was wondered if she had said something wrong.
"Well, um, did I do something wrong?"
"No, not at all."
When Monica saw that Karen, a girl who had not yet reached adulthood, was in confused , she waved her hand and told her that there was nothing wrong.
ell, then, about earlier, shall I go look for Setsuna?"
Monica thought about Karen's reluctant suggestion. It's not that she don't like it.
And since she said she was going to look for her , Monica thought she was confident that she had good covert skills, and called out to Marin and Minami.
"Come on, you two.""
The three of them talked to each other in small voices at a distance.
"I think Karen is right, we should try to find Setsuna. I'm sure her Highness Roselinde is right, but we can't take any risk .
"Well, it's reasonable to assume so. Do you want the four of us to split up? Or do you want all four of us to search together ?
"For efficiency's sake, shouldn't the four of us look in different places? Monica, Marin and me. If we ask Karen to do the same, we can do it ."
"Shall we do that?"
"Yes "
"Okay. But there's a problem."
"Siegfried, right?"
Monica and Marin felt the same uneasiness as Minami nodded with a worried expression when Monica told her Siegfried's name. She know he's not a bad person, but he's a little too straight .
He trusts Roselinde and never doubts her, which makes him a bit dangerous. It would be nice if he would think about it even just a little bit, but it would be no way to hope.
The three of them nodded to each other. and decided to persuade Siegfried and Roselinde to stay here.
"Your Highness, Roselinde. I have a proposal."
"What is it?""
"We, the three of us and Karen, would like to find Setsuna. Fortunately, we are a bit confident in our covert sill . I'. So, I would like you to leave this to us, if that's alright with you?"
"Yes, ah, I guess so. ......"
Roselinde was thinking for a while, and Monica decided that she had her answer. she is sure that if they can talk to them into it at once, they'll follow our lead, and we'll keep going.
"I know you are anxious, but we will leave Siegfried here He's a man whose ability even Count Leolde recognizes. Even if he were to be discovered, he would be no match for any ordinary opponent.
"Well, you're right, Sieg is strong, so that's reassuring. Besides, it's better than mindlessly charging at the emperor just based on my predictions! Yes! I'll leave it to you guys!"
Of course, Monika knew that Roselinde had feelings for Siegfried. So, she poked her there.
Then, it was a brilliant critical hit. The conversation went so smoothly that she even admitted that she was wrong rather than being contradicted. Monica couldn't help smiling a little too much, but she was relieved that she wouldn't have to do anything rash.
"'Wouldn't it be safer if we all went searching together?"
But then Siegfried said something that ruined the conversation that was about to be concluded.
No, thank you, We are professionals in the field of covert operations. So please stay here and wait quietly."
"No, but I don't want to leave the girls alone...""
"Master Leolde relied on me, even though I was a woman, remember?
Siegfried was still trying to argue, but Karen interrupted him.
"You should not underestimate me just because Iam a woman. LeoLde did not have any such prejudice.
With a powerful gaze, Karen looks straight into Siegfried's eyes.
He turns away, looking embarrassed, scratches the back of his head, and says he's sorry.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"It's okay. I could tell that you were trying to protect us."
Karen knew that Siegfried did not have any ulterior motives. It's just that he was genuinely worried about her and that's why he said what he did. He knew this well and followed up on it.
Monika, who had been watching over the situation, confirmed that Siegfried was satisfied and announced that she would go to Roselinde to look for Setsuna.
"So, we're going to look for Setsuna. Siegfried, please take care of Roselinde, ."
"Yes, please."
"Yeah, I'll take care of her . Be careful there, too!"
After that, the four of them walked out of the storeroom and began to take action, each hiding in the shadows to find Setsuna.
