I left the shop with a warm smile on my face. I wanted to carry the item personally, so I’d had him wrap it in paper. That parcel was now sitting snugly in the skirt pocket of my survey-day dress.

It was the sword tassel made of wreven feathers, of course!

Tassels were usually made of thread or ribbon, so I was a tad worried it wouldn’t turn out, but the shopkeeper—the craftsman, rather—had an eye for invention, just as he had demonstrated with Blackfeather. The sword tassel was also made quite well.

Is it beautiful? Check! Is it durable? Check!

As long as the user is okay with wreven feathers, we’re good to go!

We still had more survey to do, and even though I’d made next to zero gains as traitor-bait, I felt a grand sense of accomplishment.

Okay, next—

I got in the carriage and took a deep breath in and let it out.

It was the stroll under the kallum trees—the Dwelling part of the survey.

“Are you nervous?”

I’d finally gotten used to seeing my brother sitting across from me in the carriage. It was probably his way of telling me the traitors were on the move and were likely going to attack at our next stop.

And yeah, most people would draw that conclusion.

But my nervousness came from a source other than the attackers. I was worried that despite all my emotional conditioning, I would make an utter fool of myself under the kallum trees.

And not in the shaking things up sort of way, more like the dragging my team into danger way.

When I see the blossoms that remind me of sakura, will I fall to pieces like I did in the past?

At least part of the reason why the stroll under the kallum trees was delayed until the end of the survey was because I had wanted to avoid it.

But there was no way I could confide in my brother about that, so I asked him a different question instead. “Any chance you’re coming around to trusting Klifford?”

Sirius suspected Klifford of tampering with Sil’s carriage and of being one of the traitors, but had his assessment of Klifford…changed in any way? At least from where I was standing, Klifford didn’t act in any way suspicious today.

“……No.”

“Then I suppose you’ll change your tune any minute now.” I mean, if this keeps up much longer, it will be quite clear Sirius doesn’t have a leg to stand on!

“You’re free to believe that if you want.” Then he looked out the carriage window and announced, “I see kallum trees.”

A moment after, the carriage stopped, but I didn’t look out the window. I shielded my eyes with Blackfeather as much as possible and stepped outside.

We went over how the kallum walk would proceed: We would each have a bodyguard stationed right beside us—Hugh on my side, and Klifford on Sirius’s. Behind them would be Guy and Heller, followed by the other bodyguards. Soldiers would be stationed at several points along the walk, from one end to the other.
