Rudeus, you have the right to decide. You have been the most hurt by this, and won your battle."
I let go of the miko's hand long ago.
However, the miko has been sitting at my side all along, smiling.
As if saying she knew this would happen all along.
An attitude as if she had seen through everything.
This person.
"I think it's fine."
I said that calmly.
I still have a few reservations.
However, I just need to talk with Claire more in-depth later.
If I talk more with that person, my ill feelings will also vanish.
"However, let me present three conditions."
I have conditions.
Conditions for me releasing the miko.
It may be shameless, but three of them.
"First, for Miko-sama to look at my mother's memories to see if she can recover them."
"Of course it's fine. There were such plans in the first place."
I was talking to the cardinal, but the one who answered was the miko.
As if to say she already understood.
I wonder if she already knew that she was going to be examining Zenith today.
If she knew about it, then she let herself be abducted by me in order to guide me here.
It's possible.
"However, I can't recover memories, so I probably can't cure her..."
"But I'd still like you to try. Your holiness the Cardinal, do you mind?"
"Not at all."
The cardinal seems to be in a good mood.
Probably because it doesn't seem like the Latreia house that's in his faction will be receiving damage.
"Second, in exchange for this case being water under the bridge, you must provide your full assistance to [Dragon God] Orsted."
"Naturally, I have no objections."
"............ Same here."
The pope naturally gave his approval, and the cardinal nodded as well.
It looks like getting approval for the Ruijerd dolls will also be possible.
It may have been better if I struck the cardinal just now, but it seems like things will settle in an overall beneficial way to me, so I'll let it go at that.
"And then, for the last one."
I looked at Claire and Carlyle.
The two looked back at me stiffly.
"Please allow me to reconcile with the Latreia house."
At those words, first Therese made a relieved gesture.
Carlyle lowered his head apologetically.
Claire burst into tears.
She cried while making sobbing noises.
Cried while making a voice that seemed to say both "I'm sorry" and "Thank you."
Zenith gently stroked that Claire's face.
Thus, the curtain drew on the case in Milis.
