Roughly a week had passed since the dogfight between Ernie and Cnut. Now, the scene has changed to the Serrati family’s villa in Konkaanen.

“...is what I heard.”

Marquis Joachim Serrati had already reread the document in his hands many times over, but he read it once again out loud anyway. It was a summary of Ernie and Cnut’s conversation, and had been delivered to him shortly after said conversation had concluded. While he finished his explanation with no change to his expression, the children he was facing seemed to have been lost for words. The fists they’d raised excitedly suddenly had nowhere to go; instead, their expressions were filled with insensate awkwardness as their mouths shut and refused to open. If he had to give words to what he thought was in their hearts, it would probably go something like this: “Ah, yeah. That’s right. Ernie’s just that sort of guy.” Even so, Tifa somehow made use of her trained force of will and regrouped to stand again.

“I...see. I guess for now...it’s great that it sounds like he’s having fun.”

Her words seemed a little begrudging, but it was to be expected. Suddenly Kid, still seemingly groggy, raised his head. He understood what Ernie had done thanks to Joachim’s explanation, but he still had one question left to ask.

“Then why won’t Ernie come back?”

“I don’t know. Didn’t you ask the ones that came back from Casadesus?”

“Ah...” Kid started awkwardly. “We came...here, before we could...”

The three children, having realized that in their excited state they had forgotten a very important information source in the boss and the others, sunk to terribly low spirits.

“My word, to panic like that...this Ernesti boy really must mean that much to you all.”

The trio had completely lost all the momentum and fire that they’d entered the room with, and had even seemed to wither slightly. Joachim did not blame them for their actions; instead, he called out to the twins with a serious expression.

“If that’s the case, Archid, Adeltrude, you two should stay with him from now on.”

“Y-Yes! Uh, huh?”

The twins had totally thought they would get chewed out for being too rash, which was reflected in their reaction.

“Duke Dixgard has come to the conclusion that for the moment, he is not a threat, and I am of the same mind. His actions from now on will, to this country... No, he might have an even wider effect than that. He will make many friends, and just as many enemies. No matter how talented he is, overcoming those turbulent waves will probably be difficult alone. You two have stayed close to him and gotten instruction from him as well, right? Then from now on, become his strength.”

Kid and Addy listened to their father’s speech, flabbergasted, but then they clenched their fists and straightened themselves up, replying to their father as strongly and emphatically as they could.

“Of course, you didn’t even need to say it.”

“Yeah! Even if you didn’t, I’d have stayed with Ernie!”

Having reaffirmed their determination to do so, the twins nodded and Tifa embraced them from behind.
