Forge Figures
Winter school break is coming soon
At that time, the school's restrictions on going out were finally lifted.
The mess is finally over. I guess that's what it means
"Hey, Ido."
"Ask... why are you here?"
Early morning
The sun hasn't even appeared yet
The sky is white and there is a lot of shade in the school.
Idouard was about to leave the school at a time when no one should have woken up yet.
It looks like he's going on a journey
"I saw you. So where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter."
It certainly doesn't matter
The latest uproar has sparked talk of dismantling the Kimberley family.
However, the Kingdom of Dezefa told all the countries that the cause was one person who tried to gain power by using a strange disease.
Obviously, it's not for the Kimberley family.
If the Kimberley family is the cause, the position of the country will deteriorate.
The southwest continent has become so troublesome that countries are looking for somewhere to blame.
In that case, they were deceived by an outsider.
It would probably be better to tell them that the kingdom is also a victim.
"I heard that the Kimberley family will be picking you up tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter."
"You will be the next lord of the Kimberley family."
"It's okay, I left a letter saying I'll give it to my brother."
"...Are you chasing Eri Drassel?"
"Yeah."
The charm from the nanomachines must have already been lost.
"I love Eri."
"You are fooled, though?"
"Still, I only have Eri."
"Are you serious…"
What's good about that woman?
I think Eugenia is clearly a more attractive woman.
"...Become an adventurer"
"Eh?"
"If you're looking for someone, travel around the country as an adventurer. It's easy to gather information, and you can earn money for accommodation and food for the day with simple requests."
"Adventurer… what is needed?"
"Ability, knowledge, and tact"
"Oh, I see."
With that, Idouard dropped the name Kimberley.
He left the school with the morning sun behind him.

"The above is Idouard Kimberley’s action report."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aristes."
They say love is blind
How could you be so obsessed with it that you would throw away your future as an aristocrat?
Well, the other party was too bad.
"And Yukikaze-sama."
"What?"
"There's something I haven't reported to Ask-sama yet."
"Let me hear it."
Southern part of Marguerite Kingdom
Multiple dead wolves were found in areas where there were still few people.
Nanomachines were detected in their internal organs.
Pieces of flesh, bones, and hair that appear to be human were also found in the stomach.
They found a long hair in the river a little far away.
"There is a 74% probability that the contents, the hair in the river, and the hair found in the school hotel are the same individual."
"There is a high probability that Eri Drassel died. Does that mean that?"
"Yes, we also found some facial skin that seems to have fallen off upstream from where the hair was found."
"It was eaten by nanomachines and rotted away."
"It's terrifying."
"That's right, there's nothing decent about the nanomachines created by Elfriade, so be careful."
However, it is 74%.
"Although death is almost certain. Well, if it's a miraculous coincidence..."
"Are you saying Eri Drassel is alive?"
"The reason for 74% is not corruption or damage, someone has just purchased nanomachines from the Holy Kingdom Hero Faction, there is a person who went missing nearby around the same time, and that person is very similar in age and appearance to Eri Drassel. If all of these apply, then there's a good chance she's alive."
"I don’t think so."
In other words, death is certain.
But should I tell him that...
"Maybe not telling the truth is sometimes kindness..."
"If the prince knew, there's a chance it will spread to Idouard as well."
"...Eri is missing. Isn't that fine?"
"I understand. It's better for dreams to remain dreams."
"That's a connotative way of saying it. Do you know something?"
"I was worried that he might be traumatized if he knew."
"Heh, what kind?"
"This is Eri Drassel's real age. We found out when we were examining the body."
"Ara, lying about her age?"
Well, since she was such an aggressive woman, there's a high possibility that she lied about her age as well.
It's not something a 15-17 year old would think of.
"So, how old was she?"
"...She was 48 years old."
