Dirk held his fist to Hartmut who asked quietly.

“I want to become a nobleman and become the temple head, the priest head, or the orphanage”

“Huh?”

Stare at Dirk so that Hartmut is a little interesting. But his eyes are still sharp.

“Orphanage was in a terrible state until Rosemine arrived, but Rosemine was good, so we could get a meal and spend the winter without freezing.”

“It seems to be well understood and nothing more”

Hartmut prompts ahead while whispering with a face that looks like a good student.

“And Rosemine is the only aristocrat who can help when there is a danger to the gray priest, and the underage Rosemine is the head of the temple because it is firmly supported by the priest.

Hartmut seems to be very happy with Dirk’s words. I don’t refute it because I have the awareness that I’m supported, but there are a few things that I just don’t understand. I don’t feel like Dirk is brainwashed by Hartmut.

“I heard the story that the chief would change last spring, and the gray priests and the gray priests were in trouble. I don’t know how the temple and orphanage will change if the priest changes.

The reason I made various reforms as an orphanage director was because of permission from the priestess Ferdinand. If you see how the orphanage director asks the priest to do anything, you will know which position is better. If the new priest is the one who rejects my plan, the orphanage can be reinstated. The adult gray priests who knew the former orphanage were very worried.

“Rosemine has made Hartmut to be a priest. He was kind and delighted to be a priest who didn’t mean Rosemine. But I knew only the orphanage where Rosemine was. I didn’t really understand why adults were so happy at that time. “

Dirk, who had not left the orphanage before the baptism and was a close friend of the aristocrats who came to the orphanage, seemed unable to sympathize with the anxiety and relief of adults.

It was the same when Konrad came to the orphanage, and the adults were nervous because they were noble children, but Dirk seemed to be happy because the children of the same age were just happy.

“Conrad was the same as ourselves. Until then, I was the only person who used the black stone that Fran brought me to, but I just started using Conrad together.”

The two people, Dirk and the nobleman Conrad, were sometimes pulling out the magical power with black magic stones to avoid overflowing the magical power. It became apparent that the friendship with Konrad was strengthened by the fact that two people did the magical power that they had been doing alone, but Dirk did not feel the difference between the aristocratic child and the orphan.

“But when there are many aristocratic children in the winter, every child looks great, and it’s hard to hear what adults say. Or to be patient before returning to the nobility. “

It seems that even though I was spending the same time in the orphanage, I was aware that I was not an orphanage, and I knew that they were seen below, including adults. It seems that Dirk met for the first time at an orphanage premised on equality, in a nasty way.

“What do we think will happen if these nobles become orphanages or priests?” I finally understood that

Dirk is not aware that ordinary aristocratic children are orphans after spending a season and seeing the consciousness of the children left without being taken over by their parents It seems that I felt it with my skin.

And the other day. Vilma returned to the orphanage and was told that in a year I and Haltomut would disappear from the temple, Melchior would succeed, and Vilma would be bought. The head of the temple, the head of the priest, the orphanage director, and the orphanage manager all change. The orphanage seems to have panicked. Dirk seems to be very scared of the mess of adults who are not usually upset.

“I was thinking about how to avoid the orphanage, but I didn’t know. There should be good nobility who thinks about the orphanage properly, but there are few good nobility?” Returning to the orphanage is a problem …. Delia cannot leave the orphanage. ”

Dirk looks back on Delia while saying so. How Delia, who can’t leave the orphanage for a lifetime, depends on how the orphanage lives. In order for Delia, who has been guilty of Dirk too much and sinned and cannot leave the orphanage, to live without worrying, the temple head and the chief must be good nobility.

“There is no need for the temple head or the priest to be noble, Dirk”

Originally chosen from the blue priest. There is no need to become a noble. Dirk shook his head as Haltomut pointed out quietly.

“I used to say, but I heard that it’s different because now the lords are the temple heads and many nobles have come and go to the temple. Only aristocrats can control them. Is that wrong?]

“That’s right. Certainly a blue priest who isn’t a nobleman can’t stop a nobleman”

It seems that I heard from the former servicemen who came back to the orphanage after the cleanup that there was an inseparable wall between the blue priest and the aristocrat. There are so many aristocratic children living in the temple as blue apprentices because their parents sinned. A simple blue priest cannot beat anything.

“I want to keep the way that Rosemine has taught, so that everyone in the orphanage and Delia can feel sad. To that end, I want to be the head of the aristocracy and the priest.” [ 19459002]

No matter how much you want, you cannot get the status of a nobleman. Dirk was giving up. However, the opportunity to select magical orphans based on their magical powers has been around. If you do not receive the baptismal ceremony as a noble, you will not be recognized as a noble.

“… I have to miss now”

“This is the only time that orphanages have many aristocratic children and witchcrafts are dealt as relief.”

粛 Did it happen, the children were able to avoid the concession, the number of nobles had to be reduced significantly and it was necessary to increase it quickly, the witchcraft could be obtained, and Dirk was before baptism Was it. There is only now in every sense.

“But Dirk’s important family seems to be the opposite?”

Hartmut points at Delia waving her head while crying. Dirk saw Delia with a very troubled face.

“Dirk, please. Rethink. If I received a baptismal ceremony as a nobleman, I can no longer meet Dirk. I can no longer call my family and I have to change my language and attitude. But be patient, do n’t leave me. ”

Every word of Delia pierces the chest. Seems to see herself crying out that she doesn’t want to leave her family. I know how hard it is to stay away from my family and not be able to call my future family.

… Dirk, don’t go. Please be on the side. Delia really took care of you. It’s the most important support for your life!

I screamed in my heart, but I was screaming. As I am an orphanage director, it is an order. And now, Hartmut is interviewing. Don’t imitate me as I say I respect each choice.

Dirk refuses a word to Hartmut and heads for Delia. He strokes crimson hair to comfort Deria, who hugs Dirk as if he doesn’t want to go.

“Delia told me, what Rosemine brought us to, how the orphanage changed, and what kind of aristocrats and higher nobility Did he protect us? “

When Deria was serving, she was not very close to being wary of being a spy of the temple head. Even though it was such a relationship, Delia seemed to talk to Dirk about me very well. The dark brown eyes close to Dirk’s black are inflamed by the heat of talking about his hero.

“Similar to Delia, Hartmut will always tell you when she comes to the orphanage. How amazing Rosemeine-sama is?”

…… Hey Hartmut! ? What are you doing at the orphanage! ?

When I looked at Hartmut in a resolute mood, Hartmut was singing with the perfect expression of the word “satisfied”.

“Rosemine was also adopted by the lord to protect his precious things,” said Haltomut. I also wanted to protect fellows who grew up with this orphanage, like Rosemine. I want to be an aristocrat. Please understand, my sister. ”

Delia broke down. I don’t want to leave my family. But I can’t keep Dirk anymore. Delia’s hands clinging to Dirk loosened because of the swinging between them.

Dirk comes out of Delia’s slightly relaxed arm and returns to Hartmut’s hand without looking back at Delia’s hand, which has been stretched toward him again.

“I want to make sure that the orphanage that Rosemine has improved is not restored. Please, Mr. Hartmut. Please make me a noble.”

Hartmut is looking straight ahead at Dirk’s straight eyes.

“It’s hard to use a lot of recovery drugs to collect magic, but now you can see it as a criminal child if you receive a baptismal ceremony from an orphanage.

When Dirk receives the baptismal ceremony, he will be a guardian of the adopted father and will be accompanied by the children of the old Veronica school. There is a high possibility that other aristocrats will be grouped with criminal children, and those who are baptized together will be said to be a commoner.

“Despite this, Rosemine who has protected you will no longer exist. You can’t become a noble with a half-hearted preparedness.”

“… I can’t say that an orphan wants to be a noble, with half-life ready”

Dark brown eyes and orange eyes intersect.

After a few seconds, Hartmut relieved her face.

“Okay, ask Aub and get your magic tool”

“I’m sorry”

Dirk pulled his power as if relieved. After crossing both arms and hitting once, get up and head to Delia.

“That, Delia”

Even if Dirk calls out, Delia does not reply because she rubs her eyes with light blue eyes full of tears. Dirk, who was just engulfed and started to do a little orororo, was so powerful.

“Delia, are you angry?”

“… If you don’t call me Elder, not Delia, I won’t reply”

“Wow !?”

When Dirk utters a surprising voice in an unexpected word, Delia turns his face while raising his chin and chin.

“Until Dirk became a nobleman, I decided not to answer unless I called her older sister. This is a punishment that decided such a big thing without telling me my family. Dirk imitates Rosemine in troubled places! ”

“A cool place, not a problem!”

“Because you’re thinking and doing great things, there’s nothing wrong with trouble! Moh! Rose Mine has always been so!”

…… Yeah! ? My fault! ?

¡Although it can be understood that this is Delia’s embarrassed reaction, it is just perfect. The escort knights who stand behind me laugh smallly in the fight of Dilke’s smiling brother and sister who argues with Deria, who lined up my old work, “But that was such a benefit.”

“Have you ever thought about various things?”

“You haven’t changed”

“No, Rosemine has changed”

Hartmut is proud.

“Influence has grown since it has been widespread and larger than before”

…… That’s not a follow or anything!

Filine gently screamed when I was being humiliated as the story of the fight between my brother and sister.

“Rose Mine, would you like to talk to Konrad?”

When I give permission, Philine walks to Konrad with a magic tool.

“Conrad, is it okay to talk a little?”

“Yes, my sister”

Listening to Konrad’s answer, Philine offered her magical tool.

“You have the magical tools that your mother left behind. You told me that Rosemine is now giving you recovery medicines that I couldn’t prepare. You can return to the nobility. Would you like to be baptized as my brother? ”

Konrad leaned his head with a plain face in the words of Figline.

“Why do I become a noble, even if I have a recovery pill and I have no money?” Vilma says that the lord will look after the lord’s witchcraft Wouldn’t it work for me? “

The children who receive the baptismal ceremony from the orphanage will be guarded by Aub, and the education will use money and tools received from the cleaned nobility. If you do not meet the magical amount specified by the lord and you receive a baptismal ceremony as Filine’s brother, Konrad will not have a guardian of the lord.

“Isn’t your sister saying that it’s hard to get everything you need for the aristocracy when you come to the orphanage? I think it’s impossible to prepare for me. Because it costs so much that we need dozens or hundreds of papers. “

It is difficult for a minor filine who has to leave the house and support his own life to bring it to Konrad. It seems that Konrad knows better.

“… If Conrad returns to the nobility, I will return to my house. If there is still something left by the mother, it will be somehow to go to the aristocratic house.” [19459002 ]

«There are teaching materials that I have bought so far, and if there are items left at home, I can go to the aristocracy with two people. Filine says, you can get out.

“My older sister, I came here to live because I was taken up by Jonasara-like magical tools and I couldn’t live as an aristocrat, and my father wasn’t willing to help me. I just don’t want to go back. “

Philipine suggested that he return to his parents’ home in order to return Konrad to his nobility, but Conrad refused, “I hate it absolutely.”

“Hey, Conrad. Now is the only time you can return to the nobility. Only when the orphans are given magical tools, and Rosemine is giving the recovery medicine … Living as a gray priest.” Is it completely different to become an aristocrat? “

Conrad shook her head, saying, “Keep that magic tool for your older sister.” Rejected Philine broke her eyebrows sadly, then closed her eyes and exhaled gently to calm herself.

“If Konrad chooses a path that doesn’t become a noble, I have no way left to live as a brother or sister. To spend time with Konrad, you have to buy you.”

“… Do you buy me? It won’t do anything”

“I am a selfish desire to spend time with my brother”

Philine smiled and raised four fingers.

“… I have four ways. Place Konrad in an orphanage, give it a name and follow him to Rosemine. Spend the adults at Ehrenfest and leave Konrad in the orphanage. A road to chase Rosemine, a road to return to his parents’ home to make Konrad aristocrat. A road to remain in Ehrenfest to spend time with you who will not be a noble. “

Konrad stares quietly as Filine describes her path in a slow tone.

“Tell me how Konrad thinks of my future so that I can choose my future”

“… I am …”

Konrad said there. I ask him to open and close his mouth as if he’s wondering if it’s okay to tell Filine. Filine laughed as if in trouble, watching such a situation.

“If Conrad doesn’t tell me, would you pass me?”

“… I want to live for the orphanage. I want to live with the orphanage who helped me in the hardest time, not with my sister.

“Is that so …”

Philipine dropped her shoulders in a discouraged manner, and said, “Thank you for teaching me.”

“How are you going to live in an orphanage?”

“I want to be a blue priest like Frittak”

A blue priest who is trusted by the temple chief and the chief priest so that they can be regained even if they are taken away in Kyushu. A blue priest who is entrusted to the temple when the temple head or the priest is away. A blue priest who can earn by himself and cover his life. That’s Konrad’s ideal.

…… I knew for the first time that Frittak was a Konrad hero.

“Lutz from the Printemps Shokai said, I wanted a blue priest who was familiar with the workshop. I wanted to be a blue priest who entered the workshop. And I promised Dirk. If I can get the ingredients and become a noble, I will support Dirk with the aim of becoming a blue priest who can live on my own. “

¡Conrad’s yellowish green eyes shining brightly, resembling Philine, saying that they will protect the orphanage.

“If you can say I like my sister, please stay at Ehrenfest until you are an adult, and help me a little bit so that I can become a blue priest after the baptismal ceremony.” I am glad if you give me. “

Even if it is not enough to become an aristocrat, it will cost money to become a blue priest apprentice.

Konrad is a low-class noble and has little magical power, so it is almost useless for supplying magic power right after baptism. Conrad said that there was a difference in the subsidies given by the provinces depending on the amount of magical power supplied, so I would like to support them until they can grow a little and increase their magical power.

“Being a nobleman who has so little magic to be abandoned by his father, helping Dirk and Melchior as blue priests should be more helpful.”

Konrad seems to have found a way of life other than the nobility at the orphanage. We want to be a blue priest who can live independently, not gray, which is easily bought.

“I understand. I will protect the orphanage together, watching over Konrad at Ehrenfest until adulthood.”

Filine smiled and said so. I feel relieved that I was able to choose the path that I understood. And if Philine can choose the way, the Lord I can help.

Assistance to the lord family, the highest authority of Ehrenfest, not only to take root to the mother to support the life of Philine, but also to prevent the temple from being damaged even if the chances for nobles to enter and exit Must.

…… Where should I start?

Looking at the exchange between Philine and Konrad while thinking about the future in a slightly brighter mood. Konrad seems to have been very pleased that he communicated his wish to Filine and accepted it. It looks like it ’s much sweeter than ever before.

“You told me that your older sister also attended a merchant-noble meeting before? Tell me how nobles and merchants talked, and how Rosemine worked. Please “

“It doesn’t matter, but Konrad wants to attend a merchant meeting?”

I thought that the merchant’s meeting was not a blue priest’s job, but I couldn’t say that it would be fun to see. Also, if Konrad really becomes a blue priest who goes into and out of the workshop, the Printemps firm may not ask to attend the meeting to ask for opinions.

“Recently, the people of the Printemps Chamber of Commerce who come to the workshop have taught me little by little about business. I want to become a blue priest who is savvy and skilled in negotiations like Rosemine.”

…… A little bit of Conrad. The destination is not misplaced! ?

“A blue priest who can negotiate like Rosemine …. The road is steep and far away.”

“I will do my best”

Philine, who was looking down at the heart-warming Konrad, glanced at me and laughed.

“Filine was quite calm and faced with Konrad”

Talking to me was quite confused and emotional, but today’s orphanage seemed to be calm. Of course, I couldn’t show it outside, although the inner mind was probably filled with various feelings. When I gave it up, Philine dyed her cheeks as if shy.

“I was beaten by Dermuel”

“Huh?”

“With Rose Mine being gone in a year, I was forced to choose a road and I was worried about handling Conrad. I was happy that Conrad could suddenly return to the nobility. I jumped without thinking. ”

Philine is shy about her failure.

“I don’t have a guardian who can be relied on other than Rosemine, and so far, Richards have been on various consultations, but it’s gone. Ca n’t consult … ”

Filline asks that pre-baptized children are not included in the number but cannot be consulted on how to treat Konrad. The basic aristocratic view is that you don’t have to worry because you’re not Filine’s brother since you entered the orphanage.

“There was no one other than Rosemine who would be kind to me”

It seems that there seems to be only there as a filine, but it seems that Darmuel praised it.

“Dermuel told me that when Rosette Mine was responsible for the time when Konrad was put into an orphanage, he should not be bothered.”

It seems that it was pointed out that I wanted too much for me, who had been beaten as having stepped too far into the house of Filine and saved Conrad. It seems that I don’t think about how to make Konrad aristocratic or how to bring it to the center.

“Rose Mine is my lord, I’ll be close to my choice and future, and if I talk to you, I’ll bother you with Conrad, but don’t be confused with it. I’m a guardian, but I’m not a Conrad guardian, so I shouldn’t ask for more help for orphans. “

And he told me to hear about Konrad’s hope first after talking about the choices for Philine and the range of assistance.

……何それ、ダームエルがカッコいい!

「どうしてもコンラートが貴族になりたくて、わたくしが援助したいと望むならば、婚約者になっても良いとまで言ってくれたのです」

「え!? ダームエルは求婚したのですか?」

「求婚というよりは、必要ならば助けられるという選択肢をくれただけです。でも、そのダームエルの言葉に甘えるのは、主であるローゼマイン様に甘えるよりもダメなことだと思いました」

フィリーネはそう言って照れたように笑う。

「わたくし、いつだってダームエルに手を引いてもらっていました。守ってもらわなければならない妹のような頼りない女の子を卒業して、胸を張って隣を歩きたいと思ったのです。ですから、ダームエルに甘えることのない道を選んだのですよ」

確かにフィリーネがコンラートに対して挙げた選択肢にダームエルは一度も出てこなかった。

……でも、これってダームエル側から考えたら、振られたことになってない?

わたしは「自立した女になったらクラリッサに聞いたように、わたくしから求婚するのです」と言うフィリーネを応援しつつ、ダームエルに視線を向ける。ダームエルはこちらを向こうとしなかった。

……いつかフィリーネが求婚してくれるって、教えてあげた方がいいかな?
