I was assisting the rebuilding work in one corner of the central town of Sutrena. Several days had passed since the night of the new moon. The damage hadn’t been as bad as I’d expected; the residential district around our estate was the only place seriously affected by the manabeasts. Everyone said that the town had suffered incomparably more damage during previous new moons, so Lord Nazel’s manabeast countermeasures must have worked. He and Mister Henry had been the ones to give out instructions, and their subordinates had quickly implemented their plan.

Torre was also helping by growing larger and hauling away debris. The people were very grateful to him, and it was no wonder, because he made short work of tasks that would have taken others many hours of labor, all on his own. I stayed close to Lord Nazel as I worked and focused on reinforcing buildings and roads.

A question suddenly popped into my head in the middle of work, so I tried asking Lord Nazel.

“Sutrena suffers especially severe damage from manabeasts compared to other territories, right? But it’s not the only region that borders the forest. Do the other territories have some special countermeasures in place?”

Lord Nazel narrowed his amber eyes gently and gazed at me. As I also looked at the face of my beloved, my heart started beating like a drum yet again. He responded kindly even to this simple question of mine.

“I’ve looked it up in our documents, but I couldn’t find any relevant information. So I’m thinking of investigating a certain location in Sutrena bordering the forest, and the neighboring territories too. It seems that no government official has been there for a long time. Henry was also trying to investigate, but the nobles who live there considered him a bothersome meddler and obstructed his efforts. The place is pretty far from our central town, so a visiting investigator would need to stay overnight, and that would require imposing on the locals for food and lodging.”

The nobles in question were relatives of the previous margrave and still managed part of Sutrena. Lord Nazel had been too busy until now to see to the matter properly, but depending on how the area was managed, he was even considering seizing it.

“Oh my. Then you’ll be using your authority as margrave to force through an inspection, right, Lord Nazel?”

“That’s my intention. I can’t ignore our manabeast problem.”

Although Lord Nazel had been exiled, he came from a noble house of high standing, giving him a certain amount of clout he could wield against others.

“Um, I’d also like to go there. I’ll be able to help with my magic.”

“You want to come along? Your magic is certainly always a great help.”

I stared at Lord Nazel’s eyes and noticed that his face started gradually growing redder.

Is he perhaps being bashful?

I felt happy but also became embarrassed myself; it was a strange, ticklish sensation.

“All right, I’ll discuss it with Henry. But promise me you will always stick close to me or Torre, okay?”

“Of course.
