After the womanās laughter finally subsided, well she was still chuckling but she seems to have recovered enough to be able to talk at least.
āukukukuā¦ā¦Iām really sorry. Fuh fuh, Iām really not trying to make fun of you but it just got to me for some reason.ā
āI donāt care. Iām used to it at this point.ā
āNo seriouslyā¦ā¦.I really didnāt mean it that way. But still, that seems misfortunate indeed. To have a [Sword God] as a younger brother, it must be rough getting compared to that. You must have had a hard time after the [Heavenās Blessing] eh?ā
Oh yeah I had a hard time alright. But I was having a hard time even before that.
Thinking back, if I had gotten a [Master Swordsman] job or something and had stayed home, just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine.
āWell, it was rough yeahā¦ā¦but all that aside, who are you anyway? Iāve given my introduction. Itās your turn to name yourself.ā
āIām simply a student of the same academy as your younger brother, nameās Mielle Clifford Ettex. I donāt intend to brag but my job is [Sage].ā

I did hear about a [Sage] yesterday from the broker.
Contrary to her words, she sure did look very proud when telling her job by the way.
Her age seems similar to min as well, against my original expectationsā¦ā¦.
Judging by her looks and her motive to attack me, this disguising woman was almost certainly a member of Klausā party.
āA member of KlausāĀ party I assume? Were you looking out to make sure bad people werenāt aiming for Klaus or something?ā
āoh no, Iām not his party member just yet. I figured that if I killed a couple people who were trying to hurt him, I might get invited to his party thatās allā¦ā¦.But, against all odds I might have hit an even bigger jackpot. I got to meet his older brother after all.ā
āI see. If I recall, Klaus had full rights to choosing his party members rightāāAlright. Let me write a recommendation letter for Mielle to show to Klaus.ā
āEh? Really? Even though I suddenly attacked you?ā
āBut you did that for Klausā sake no? That means I can trust you if anything.ā
āā¦ā¦.Really, thank you. And once again, Iām sorry for laughing at you.ā
āDonāt worry about itā¦ā¦.on that note, I intended to write a letter to him so Iāll add the recommendation to it so will you hand it over to him for me?ā
āWhy of course! Gladly!ā
A [Sage] she may be, but at the end of the day sheās just a kid who has only recently come of age.
It only took some sweet talking to get her to trust me.
Iām glad Mielle has no idea of what my and Klausā relationship actually was like.
Klaus must not have spoken anything about me and thatās why he was using these underground organizations to find me.
Under the moonlight, I wrote up a letter to Klaus.
Mielle seemed to be fidgeting with expectation and excitement but unfortunately the things I wrote in this letter were designed to antagonize Klaus and her with each other.
I donāt know how much affect this letter will have but Iām hoping it makes things fiery.
I donāt know how much Mielle knows about me but considering she is probably the one that knows the most about me, I need her to never get close to Klaus. Thatās why such a letter was necessary.
I wrote it cleverly in a way that even if someone else read it, they wouldnāt be able to tell that something was strange.
But if Klaus reads it, heāll definitely get the real message.
āJust give this to Klaus. He should let you into his party. And give him this other letter as well.ā
āThank you. I will never forget this debt. Iāll send your regards to Klaus as well.ā
āAh yeah, please do that.ā
Without a single clue about my intentions, Mielle took the letters cheerfully and held them like they were something precious. She shook my hands and then returned back to the capital.

I too gave a fake smile to her and saw her off before sitting down back on that rock and drank some water.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦phew.
I was able to somehow trick my way out of this but that was really dangerous.
If Mielle knew that Klaus wanted me dead, I probably would have been dead on the spot.
Realizing that I am currently being hunted, I need to refocus and rethink everything more than ever before.
But for now, with this Klaus will know that Iām still alive.
But, where and which city I was in, I had not revealed anything in that regard so I should be fine.
There are many towns and cities that are close to the capital which should buy me some time.
Mielle is the only one that knows which direction I headed in, but with the letter as well as acting all friendly when talking about me alone should be enough to make him snap and never listen to anything she has to say.
I am a bit worried for the two still in the capital but they shouldnāt be able to track it all the way to them in just two days.
Telling that to myself, I increased my vigilance towards my surroundings and o
