Therese shrugged her shoulders with a wry smile.
It's probably something hard to talk about.
I won't pry into personal matters.
But I want to hear a separate thing.
"That story about me showing up at the head house, is it being circulated?"
"Ah, it didn't seem like the quarrel with mother is."
"Quarrel.....that was a quarrel alright."
"I also heard that mother made you angry. Anyway, it's like her. I guess she ordered to do this and to do that regarding you?"
"That's right! Please listen to me!"
The aunt that I encountered after a long time.
I thought for an instant whether she is an ally or not but my slippery mouth can't stop.
Before I realized it, I ended up talking about everything that happened yesterday.
As I thought, I still have much more anger left within me.
Or seeing a face similar to Zenith with a bright smile on it, I might be feeling relief.
"I wonder if they let this kind of thing be overlooked in this country?"
"No, it's not possible no matter what....even if it's mother, that......I think she might be mistaken.....but, well.....Rudeus-kun perhaps, wasn't it something you said that angered mother? That person, because she also unreasonably uttered tit for tat....."
"......What about it. I wanted to endure it as much as possible and talk things through without getting angry."
"Hmm."
Therese crossed her arms for a little while and groaned with a gallant face.
It wasn't even a tit for tat feeling.
It felt like it was decided from the get go.
"Well, if the next time you went to the head house listen to the matter very carefully. Mother is a bit stubborn but she's not a bad person. Most likely, it's a trifling misunderstanding."
"......"
Therese unceremoniously said so.
Even if it's really a misunderstanding, myself getting angry was certain.
I don't want to talk about mediating the relationship.
It's been a while that I thought about something like not even socializing on the surface with a person.
Well, if it's truly a misunderstanding, after I receive a sincere and faithful apology, I'll also apologize regarding the fact that I suddenly raged.
"At any rate, Rudeus-kun has grown big! Ah, no, it would be better to say that you matured as a man......are you around 20 years old right now?"
Therese changed the topic by effectively making use of her nature.
I don't want to keep talking about Claire as well.
"Yes, I'm already 22 years old."
"I see! It's already been 10 years after all......ah, that's right, How is Eris-sama? Is she doing well? Since she has an amazing vitality!"
Therese is in high spirits just like a child.
The gallantness she had just some time ago is now nowhere to be found.
That gallant face before had a close resemblance to Claire-baasan but..........
No no, let's stop that.
"Eris is healthy as well. Last year, she gave birth to a child."
"Child....? Ah, I see, you two got married! Congratulations!"
"Thank you very much."
"Is she here as well?"
"No, she is house-sitting in Sharia. Because of the child rearing."
"I see I see, though it's a difficult matter, do your best by uniting both of your strengths."
Both of.....
Ah, that's right, this person is a Mills believer as well.
It should be better if I keep the matter aside concerning me being married to three wives.
Well, I'll be silent for now.
I don't want to throw water on this long-awaited happy moment.
"I see, marriage huh.....that little Rudeus-kun and Eris-sama are now married.....haa......"
Or so I thought but suddenly Therese has a dejected spirit.
It seems the word called marriage is a NG word.
Looking at this reaction, she is probably still unmarried.
Or possibly divorced.
Um, how old was this person again.
Zenith being around 38 years old, since she is younger......somewhere around 35 perhaps.
In this world people become adults at the age of 15, from there if you consider most people getting married until reaching the age of 20......
Um.
"Is your direction towards work going well?"
It should be better to stop talking about marriage.
"Uh? Ah! This and that happened but I returned back to being the Miko-sama's escort. For now, I manage those guys."
Therese said that while glancing at the group.
Among the group of seven, two of them are vigilant of this side and the remaining are reduced to following the princess.
They are peaceful guys if you see it like this.
"They are a scary bunch."
"Ah....since an assassination attempt was incurred, the guys within the Temple Knight Party having particular high battle ability ended up becoming guards, it's appropriate for a short while(・・・)sort of like an en masse......"
Previously, Therese stated that the Temple Knight Party is a gathering of fanatics.
In that sense, it might be 「seeming」.
From my faux pas until 「let's kill him」 was an instant thing.
It was formerly Orsted's way of doing things.
"Well, they just have a little adherence because of their doctrine, they aren't such bad guys........Since everyone likes Miko-sama very much."
That's scary.
I get the solicitude for their belief in god but don't end up not looking around the surroundings because of that.
Even the God of you all guys will be generous.
"Say, Therese? Can I also join in the conversation?
That time, an abrupt voice came from the back.
The otaku princess was peeking in this direction.
It looked like the entourage behind her would unsheathe their swords anytime.
"Just now, I heard the name called Eris, are you perhaps an acquaintance of that red-haired Eris-sama? That swordswoman?"
She is the Miko, huh.
They just call her Miko Miko but I wonder what her real name is. Is it Nurse.[6]
Let's try to ask.....no, I'll give my name.
I was called cheap when I gave my name to Claire before but saying your name like that is the courtesy of a warrior.
"I'm late in my introduction. My name is Rudeus Greyrat.
I have accepted to work alongside 『Dragon God』 Orsted, the Sword King Eris Greyrat is my wife."
Dragon God and Sword King.
Hearing those two words increased the insecurity of the entourage.
Reacting to the matter regarding Dragon God, as I thought an apostle is mixed within them.
No but it's seven all in all, it might not be relevant.
"Wow! Is that how it was! Eris-sama is the benefactor who saved my life 10 years ago!"
If it's 10 years ago, then that means during the time I came to Milishion.
Certainly, I also remember that story.
The story of how Eris set out for Goblin extermination but ended up exterminating an assassination.
"Can Eris-sama be seen here?"
"Unfortunately no, because she has to look after the child she is house-sitting."
"That's regrettable."
When the princess displayed a sad expression the entirety of the circle's eyes hanged down.
It's a little charming.
These guys really do like her.
But wait, even though I gave my name no name is coming back.
I wonder if I can just call her Miko-sama.
"But, in that case it will become something like.........I was saved by 『Dragon God』 Orsted-sama."
"What?"
