Leold arrives at the knight's quarters, but he is suddenly stumped. The most important person, Siegfried, was away on patrol.
Leold had no choice but to walk around the town looking for Siegfried. He could have waited for Siegfried at the inn, but it would have been nighttime, so he decided to waste time and look for him.
He found a knight patrolling the town and asked him about Siegfried's whereabouts. Finally, he found Siegfried.
Surrounded by senior knights, Siegfried is patrolling the streets to keep the town safe. That Siegfried was now talking to a crying girl in Leold's line of sight.
At first glance, the scene looks like it could be flagged, but it never is. The crying girl was lost and looking for her parents. Siegfried ran up to her and was in the process of searching for her parents with his senior knights.
Leold tried to help, but the parents were soon found. It was no surprise. The parents were worried about their lost child and had been looking for her for a long time, so it wasn't long before the Knights noticed.
The lost girl was reunited with her parents, who thanked Siegfried and went home. Leold, who had been watching the scene, decided that now was his chance, so he walked up to Siegfried and called out.
'Siegfried,. Is this a good time?"
"Yes?"
Siegfried turned his head to look back. Then, there was Leold. Siegfried was startled by this unexpected man.
"Wow! Leold!"
"Didn't I warn you to be careful with your words?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! Um, Leoldo, the frontier count."
"Oh, well, that's all right. You got a minute?"
"Uh, uh, ......."
Siegfried was surprised by Leold's sudden visit, but he is in the middle of his duties at the moment. Siegfried was troubled that he could not talk to Leold because he was in the middle of his job.
However, a senior knight who was with him tapped Siegfried on the head.
'Idiot! You, look at your senior ! He is the Count of the Frontier Leold! Forget about work, just go!"
"You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course it's okay. He's a higher authority than our superiors, so it's not a problem!"
He is talking as quietly as possible so that Leold can't hear him, but since he is right in front of him, he can hear him just fine. Hearing them talking, Leoldo cleared his throat.
"Well, the knight there is right. I'll contact your superiors later. So, come hang out with me for a bit."
Hearing this, the senior knight pushed Siegfried in front of Leold, as if to pat him on the back.
"I'm sorry. I'm going to borrow this guy for a bit. If you have any complaints from your superiors, feel free to tell me. I'll take care of it."
Smiling, he tried to reassure the senior knights, but it had the opposite effect.
They think of Leold as a hero, but they also know that he was once a bad guy. So they have a strange sense of what Leoldo says is a reasonable response.
'Yes, sir!"
They vowed to report Leoldo firmly to their superiors. They didn't want any harm to come to them if they were not careful.
After Leold heard the knights' reply, he went into a suitable coffee shop with Siegfried in tow.
When Leold took a seat, he tilted his head when he saw Siegfried standing there for some reason.
"Why don't you sit down?"
"What? Can I sit down?"
With that one word, Leold remembered that there is a gap between his own position and Siegfried's position. With a sigh, Leold ordered Siegfried to sit down.
'Just sit down,. It's not good for the business to have you standing there all the time."
"I understand."
"I have warned you before, but you should think about your position. I did warn you earlier, but only out of respect for your position. I'm not going to be able to do that. So, it's fine to be the same way you were at the school. Or rather, it's uncomfortable and weird."
"Yeah. ......."
At the last word "uncomfortable", Siegfried's expression becomes indescribable.
"Now, I came to see you because of one thing: . I came to see you about a woman you seduced."
Don't talk nonsense about 'seducing'!
"You may not have any intention of doing so, but it's not going to look that way to those around you, is it?"
"I didn't mean to ......"
He wants to deny that he has no such intention, but Leold is right, and Siegfried, who understands that this is not the case for those around him, is silent.
In fact, he was also being criticized by his fellow knights, so Siegfried knew that Leold was not mistaken.
'Well, I didn't come here to complain to you about that,. Have you ever heard of a woman named Caroline?"
"You mean Carol, the senior?"
"Oh, yeah. I knew you knew her. Do you know where she is now?"
No, I don't. I haven't seen her since she graduated.
"What? I thought you made a move on her!"
"What makes you think I made a move on her? I've only been experimented on by Carroll-senpai, and She's the one who made me collect the ingredients for the drugs!'
'Nonsense! I thought you were supposed to be a guinea pig and be friends with her after graduation!"
"I don't know! I haven't heard from her since we graduated!"
(Seriously, , ~! I didn't think she didn't fall in love with Sieg ....... Sure, it's not the same as the game, but Caroline is one of the heroines in the academy, so I almost expected him to meet her. ...... But I wonder what to do. If Sieg doesn't know where she is, where is she?)
Leold is preoccupied by an unexpected situation. Seeing Leold like that, Siegfried tilts his head curiously. He wonders if Leold has something to do with Caroline.
, "Hey, Leold. Are you looking for Carol?"
"Hmm? Oh, yes. She was an alchemist, right? I'm just looking for her, but alchemists are few and far between. If there are, many of them are already employed. That's why I'm looking for Caroline. ...... I didn't realize you didn't know."
"Then why don't you ask someone who does?"
"What? You know someone who knows her?"
"Oh, it's Teresa. ".
"Testarossa Flugel. ......"
("Dukes of all people, huh? I hope they didn't surround us!)
Leold checked with Siegfried, since that was the most important thing.
"I have to ask you, Caroline is not an alchemist in the possession of the Duchess of Flugel, is she?"
'No, I don't think so. I only know that they exchange letters."
"I see! Well, then, I want you to talk to Miss Testarossa right away!"
The moment the idea occurs to him is not the day of reckoning. Leold asked Siegfried to meet with Testarossa, because if he did not respond quickly, a useful person might be taken by another family.
