She was clearly terrified of me based on how much she was trembling, but she still got in front of the boy to protect him at all costs. Trying not to spook her, I very gently reached out and placed my hand on her head with a smile.

“It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.”

I used the same tone I had used with my students when I found them. It definitely helped a little bit. At the very least, she didn’t see me as an enemy.

“You did good protecting your brother. Don’t worry, you’re safe now. Leave the rest to me.”

I gently patted her head the same way Erina would pat mine. A single tear ran down her cheek, and the girl collapsed.

Children like them weren’t a rare sight, sadly. No one would blame you if you just looked the other way in a situation like that. Heck, most people probably would have ignored it. I was still just a young boy myself, and my servants and I were struggling already. Taking these two in would definitely make things more difficult. But I’d just promised the girl I’d take care of them. I had already made up my mind. The only thing left was to figure out a way to explain the situation to the servants.

“Let’s get you out of here first.”

Monsters had already started to approach us from the scent of the blood. I couldn’t stand around there much longer, so I tied the kids up with “String” and flew us out of there.

“... And that’s why I’m here. I’d love some advice on what to do, old man.”

My first instinct was to bring them over to Liole’s house. He looked confused when I showed up carrying them, but he didn’t ask any questions. He quickly prepared beds for them, and didn’t open his mouth until after the kids were resting inside the house.

“Hmm... advice, you say? Before that, tell me—what do you intend to do with them?”

“I want to bring them home with me, but I’m scared of how Erina is going to respond...”

“Hahaha! You’re fine with fighting a mad old man like me, but you’re scared of a mere maid?!”

“Shut up, old man. I’m not scared, I just feel bad.”

I already knew the servants would happily accept the kids if I brought them home. It just meant that we would all struggle harder than we already had been. They were all working really hard to take care of me, so I didn’t want to put any extra strain on them.

“Well, let’s leave it at that, then. But uh, you asked for advice? I’m sorry, but I’m not really good with anything but swords.”

“I know. All I want to know is if these two are slaves.”

It was rather obvious from their condition and the collars around their necks, but I still wanted to check with Liole. He was more familiar with this world than me, after all.

“They are definitely slaves. You can tell by the collar.”

“What are these, anyways? I sense magic from them.
