The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"You...you are..."

"I dyed it red."

Nero said triumphantly.

"This...you, are you okay with dyeing the cloak red without authorization?"

Sally asked nervously and worriedly.

Although, the source of Nero's title of knighthood is very complicated.However, the cloak was awarded in the name of the Black Maple Knights.So, his cloak was originally black.

"It's all right? Since you gave it to me, it's mine."

Nero scratched his head and replied uncertainly,

"Anyway, so I can join the 'Linehardt' family?"

Nero asked with bright eyes and full of expectation.

Nero, who has always been abnormal as long as he is in front of women, seems to be able to talk to Sally Yeh normally.

Seeing Nero's excited gesture, Sally's lips moved cowardly for a moment, and then said heavily,

"No."

"Eh?"

Nero showed a puzzled expression,

"It was the eldest sister who said that only those who wear the cape can join that, uh, family. I just went to get a cape. And with the cape, the elder sister said that black is not good, and I want red. Now, the cape It's already red..."

"You interpreted it arbitrarily as a cloak. My original words are that only great nobles can become subordinates of the Reinhardt family. Then, the characteristic of great nobles is to wear a cloak."

On the forehead of the drooping Sally leaf, a deep haze shrouded,

"Also, your cloak is too short. If you have a long cloak that can be dragged to the ground, I can think about it..."

"..."

Nero turned his head and glanced at his waist-length cloak, showing a slightly disappointed expression.

However, after taking a deep breath, his expression returned to the energetic look before.

"I understand, Sister Sally."

"I will definitely become a great nobleman and get the kind of long cloak that can be dragged to the ground."

Volume Four: Chapter [-], we will definitely catch it!

"Sally Yeh, shouldn't she be a descendant of some great nobleman?"

"Well, if my eldest sister was from a noble family, she should at least be able to be the village chief in such a small village."

"No no no... not at all."

While Nero and Sally Yeh were talking in the hut, the other two members of the adventure group, Bridget and Seid, eavesdropped by the window and gave some comments from time to time.

Seid is still the same, with a bald head, a middle-aged face that looks about 40 years old, and a dark brownish complexion that is incompatible with other people.

The same is true for Bridget, who is still sitting in the wheelchair, and manipulates the wheelchair as flexibly as her own hands and feet.

"Nero may not remember, but the story of the brave 'Leinhardt' was something we heard from a bard who was wounded for unknown reasons and lived temporarily in the village when we were young."

Seid explained aloud,

"At that time, Sister Sally Yeh was still healthy and energetic. Then she said that she was a member of the Reinhardt Knights, and she led Nero to get into trouble. Then, it should be about two or three Years ago, the Reinhardt family suddenly started to grow in size."

Said's tone and expression were full of nostalgia.

"It's a pity that Nero can believe it..."

Bridget shook her head and said.

Having been an adventurer with Nero and Said for a while, she also likes her two companions very much now, although it is not the kind of love between men and women.

Perhaps, it's because she has been taking care of her not-so-bright younger sister in the Phantom Thieves.Bridget took care of these two who were also not very smart, and they were like younger brothers, which was quite handy.

However, facing such a situation where Nero was obviously being deceived by Sally, Bridget didn't feel annoyed.

Because, some things are easy to judge.

Even if Sally deceived Nero, it would not harm Nero, let alone benefit herself.It feels more like trying to get rid of Nero.

Therefore, Sally leaves is indeed weaving a lie, but this lie probably does not have malicious intent, or even a white lie.

"Nero will believe what Eldest Sister says."

Seid shrugged and said,

"Eldest sister is about five years older than us..."

"Is she that old?"

Bridget looked at Seid's mature face and said in astonishment.

"...Miss Bree, it's boring to do this every time."

"Ahahaha, you go on, you go on, it's just a joke, really."

"Anyway, eldest sister has been our team leader since she was a child. I'm fine here, but you know Nero's situation..."

Bridget nodded upon hearing this.

And Sai De was also slowly talking about the past to this new companion who had already been recognized by them.

When Nero was very young, his parents disappeared.Therefore, for a long time, Nero was like a wild child who grew up in the mountains and forests.

And such Nero, the first person he encountered was Sally Yeh.Moreover, with the help of Sally Yeh, she was integrated into the whole village smoothly.

Nero, who was already quite brainy, was affected by this life-changing influence when he was a child.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Sister Sally Yeh is "everything" to him.

"Hehe...hehehehe...I didn't notice it before, but now that I know that Miss Sally Yeh is so admired, I always feel that she looks like a rare beautiful girl..."

Bridget, who didn't feel cold even with her face pressed against the window in winter, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and said.

"Uh, don't blame me for not reminding you. Go and provoke Sister Sally, Nero will really kill you with the holy sword."

"Huh? I just want to invite Ms. Sally Yeh out for dinner! Because of my limited mobility, I accidentally rubbed my body against Ms. Sally Yeh's body while eating, and accidentally touched here and there. It's not normal. Is it? They're all girls, so there's nothing wrong with that!"

"..."

Seid's mouth twitched, but he just shrugged.

Anyway, he reminded him that it wasn't him who would be chopped off.

Rather, why is there no normal person in this adventure group...

As soon as they got near the maze, the other two would disappear with a high probability, and then one was always carried out from various wonderful places by other adventure groups, and the other could always be found by the guards.

He was more or less fed up.

"So, shall we tell Nero?"

"No need."

Seid shook his head.

"Nero isn't really that stupid...probably."

"Then I respect your decision."

Bridget said, looking at Nero, who was giggling at the side no matter how annoyed Sally Yeh was in the cabin, she also showed a gentle expression.

From Seide's description of Sally Yeh, it seems that this eldest sister actually wanted to leave this desolate small village and become an adventurer.

However, a sudden illness knocked her down.

And looking at himself, who can no longer set off, even Nero, who has the potential to become a world-famous adventurer, always stops.

So, Sally leaves began to weave a lie.

The reason, she asked Nero to become a great nobleman.Perhaps, in the mind of this eldest sister who has never left the small village, those high-ranking nobles are the most remarkable existence in the world.

What is entangled between Nero and Sally is really awkward but extremely sincere emotion.

Also, in the story of these two people, Seid, who is also a childhood sweetheart, seems a bit redundant?

"Speaking of which, maybe we should thank that Phantom Thief..."

In Bridget's thoughts, the "excessive" Seid stopped staring at the cabin, turned around and said with emotion.

"Oh?"

"Because, if it wasn't for the strange thief who happened to steal the treasures of Dr. Plug, and then we just solved the puzzle and took back those treasures. He probably wouldn't agree, and went to such a small village on purpose for Sister Sally Yeh has been diagnosed and treated."

Sid sighed.

It is easy to say now afterwards, but it was actually very urgent at the time.

He and Nero, and even Sally herself, have always believed that Sally's illness just made her extremely chilly and inconvenient to move.

But according to Dr. Prug, if he had come later, the spread of the disease would have directly endangered Sally Yeh's life.

Faced with such difficult and miscellaneous diseases, perhaps only the famous Baron Prug in the Kingdom of Campret could notice the abnormality of Sally Yeh.

Before, although they had been concerned about Sally Ye, they were looking for a doctor for her.But they certainly could not have imagined that it would be Baron Prug who had a huge disparity in status and status with them.Even if he thought about it, he might not be able to treat Sally well if he directly tied her up.

"So, should we be grateful for the kindness of the strange thief and stop catching her in the future?"

Bridget's eyes brightened slightly.

"No!"

Seid said firmly,

"Although we benefit from the result, the Kaitou itself is only doing evil deeds!"

"..."

"Moreover, in order for Nero to become a great nobleman as soon as possible, catching the evil thief is the fastest way."

"..."

Under Brigitte's somewhat hopeless gaze, Seid approached with a mysterious expression on his face,

"Miss Bree, let me tell you a secret."

Brigitte turned her head and looked around, and found that the place where no birds lay eggs was many miles around, and there was no living person in sight.I don't know who Said is defending with his low voice.

world?

"Although Nero insisted on catching the strange thief, it was mainly because he had a bit of a brain. However, he was not unsure. It might be wild...or something else. Nero has the kind of look, smell The ability to tell whether someone is a good person at once. Therefore, no matter how deep the monster hides, as long as it appears in front of Nero, he can be caught instantly!"

"And there's this thing!"

Bridget put her hand on Seid's shoulder with an unbelievable surprise on her face.

"I trust you guys... no, we will definitely catch the Kaitou!"

Bridget said solemnly.

...

...

The three members of the adventure group stayed for almost a week in the small village where Nero and Said were born.

And this week, they were not idle.

First, he hired people and made his own efforts to build a new house for Sally, which would not look like it would be blown away by the wind.Moreover, he went into the surrounding labyrinth, found some materials he wanted for Baron Prug, and completed several of his commissions.The entrusted reward is that the doctor regularly visits and treats Sally Yeh.

Although, it is almost impossible for Sally Yeh's illness to be cured.Moreover, the body will only be gradually eroded by the disease and cannot get better.But at least, with Baron Prug's treatment, the illness will not endanger her life in a short time.

And as long as there is time, it is not impossible to find miraculous healing methods in this magical world where gods exist.

It was the day that Sally Ye really "couldn't bear it" with the group of guys who repaired her house, farmed for her, hunted for her, and did handicrafts for her, and drove them all out.

Bridget, after a long absence, received letters from her sisters.

"real or fake..."

Sitting in the wheelchair, Bridget looked at the letter, and Evanna and Lysa talked about what happened these days, and couldn't help murmuring.

She thought that her two younger sisters being involved in an incident related to the witch's arrival was the pinnacle of their unlucky lives.
