「Ugh, Mom and Dad, you don’t have to be so mad at me, I told you I was sorry… If Sam hadn’t interceded, not only would I have had my allowance cut, but I would have had to stay in the house for a while. I was under house arrest.」

It had been three days since Erica had taken Sam out to the『Dungeon of Beginning』.

Not only had she taken a guest out without permission, but Erica had caused a dueling commotion in which, depending on who won or lost, she might have become a slave, and her parents had given her a hard time about it.

However, her father, Jonathan, who was kind to his daughter, calmed his anger by cutting her allowance for six months and dropping a bone.

It was probably a good thing that Erica herself had reflected on her actions and changed her attitude toward Sam.

Even more significant was the fact that Sam, who had been pushed around the most, followed Erica’s lead.

Otherwise, she would have been confined to her room by now.

Her mother, who is very strict with her daughters, was quite angry, and even sent her to the Adventurers’ Guild to apologize for the trouble she had caused.

Today, her parents were again complaining to them because they had received a call from Viscount Lansgully.

Or rather, it was a protest.

Erica was also told by her parents that they were absolutely mortified when they headed to the dungeon to look for their son and squire, who apparently never returned, and found that they had fallen into slavery.

They gathered information and were outraged when they discovered that Erica, Countess Walker, was involved.

In short,「Your daughters have enslaved my sons, what are you going to do about it! 」. Jonathan did not take it up.

He was the one who had been the one to pick a fight, and the only reason he proposed slavery was because he planned to take Erica in handcuffs.

All of these testimonies were officially heard from the guild officials.

Moreover, they say that although Dolgana surrendered after being hurt by Sam, he had lost foul play as a matter of fact before that.

From Viscount Lansgully’s point of view, he could not overlook the fact that his son had become a slave without his knowledge, but it was all his own fault.

It was also unfortunate that Viscount Lansgully belonged to a faction that was hostile to the Earl of Walker.

If this had been a house of the same faction, Count Walker would need to pull a lot of strings behind the scenes.

However, the other party was from a hostile faction, and above all, they were the parents of the person who had tried to undermine their daughter.

Without Sam, there was only the worst possibility, and Jonathan ignored all of Viscount Lansgully’s appeals.

As a matter of fact, before that, there are few means to free the enslaved Dolganas through proper procedures.

The best way would be to buy them from the merchants who owned them.

As for the Earls of Walker, they had no desire to get involved, so they took the stance that they would do as they pleased.

「I wonder where Sam is?」

Since the duel, Erica’s attitude toward Sam has softened.

Rather, she has come to regard him as a good friend, even to the point of caring for her younger brother.

Yesterday, too, she heard stories at tea about what kind of trip Sam had with her sister, and Erica also shared her memories of Ur with Sam.

「I wonder if she is practicing with sister Lise in the courtyard?」

Erica, who has promised to teach her sister the magic she used to use, wants to train with Sam, but Lise is also fighting with Sam to train with her.

Lise, in particular, seems to enjoy training with Sam, who becomes stronger the more she teaches him, as well as training her dull self once again.

As for Erica, she is happy to see her sister, who had been blocked up for a while, wielding a sword with a smile on her face, but that’s just the way it is.

Learning Ur magic from Sam would get her closer to her goal.

「Sorry to my sister, but I wanted to spend time with Sam too.」

Both Lise and Erica are enamored with the younger boy, Sam.

They couldn’t help but love him as a protégé and a little brother.

「It’s almost noon, so it’s my turn this afternoon.」

Her sister will probably beg, but she will not allow her to keep it all to herself.

With this in mind, Erica heads for the courtyard.

And then,

「Hey, long time no see, Erica.」

Suddenly, a voice calls out to her, and she turns around.

Then, Erica’s eyes widened.

「―――Y-You.」

She had a bad feeling because the voice sounded familiar, but when she saw the face of the owner of the voice, Erica looked thoroughly disgusted.

「Fufu, I hear you’ve done all sorts of naughty things.」

The owner of the voice was a young man in his mid-twenties.

He was a handsome man with clean-cut blond hair and a white suit.

「―――Günther… what are you doing here?」

「Oh, I don’t think that’s a good attitude to your brother.」

The young man―――Günther―――was not bothered by Erica’s attitude and smiled.
