After the girls finished introducing themselves, although Erika didn’t like him, Lise took Sam to his room.

「You are free to use this room. Also, you can use the bathroom and other facilities if you tell the servants.」

「Thank you very much.」

「Don’t thank us. You’re my sister’s disciple, you’re like family to us.」

「―――, Thank you very much.」

Sam was moved to tears by Lise’s words of family.

The fact that he was accepted by the family of his beloved late master was something he was grateful for.

「I told you not to thank me.」

「I’m sorry.」

「It’s okay. Hey.」

「Yeah?」

「Are you okay?」

Sam was puzzled by the sudden question.

He didn’t know what Lise was doing by asking him if he was「okay」.

She gently touched both of Sam’s cheeks, unable to reply.

「Umm, what?」

「Did you cry when you lost my sister? Did you hold it in?」

「…Yes, I grieved and cried properly. I didn’t hold back.」

「That’s good. You are a child and you can cry when you want to.」

「Liselotte and her friends are better than me.」

「Father and mother are sad and crying, but I’m not so sad. It’s a little inappropriate.」

「Why is that?」

Sam believes that it is impossible not to be sad about losing a family member.

He was worried that Lise might be overworking herself.

「Maybe it’s because I think my sister is already satisfied.」

「Why would she be satisfied?」

「Because she is my sister. If she wasn’t satisfied, she wouldn’t be willing to die. With you as her successor, she was able to spend four enjoyable years, and I’m sure she had nothing left to regret. So I want to see my sister off without being sad.」

「Liselotte-sama.」

She is a strong person.

There is no way Sam can imitate her.

「Geez, I’ve already told you to call me Lise. I’ll think of you as my brother from now on, since my sister loved you so much. I’ve always wanted a little brother because I’ve only had sisters.」

The smile on her face was very gentle and charming.

It was a smile that was different from Uru’s, but somehow similar.

「Oh, I’m sorry. I know my sister well enough to be okay with this, but you’re sad.」

「It was inappropriate at such a time.」

「No, it wasn’t.」

「No? I’m glad to hear it. I’ll call you Sam from now on.」

「Yes, Liselotte-sama.」

「Geez, I told you to call me Lise.」

「You did. Yes, Lise-sama.」

Sam was afraid to call her by her first name, but she chuckled.

「If you could, I’d prefer it if you didn’t call me -sama, but that’ll have to wait.」

「That’s too much to ask.」

「Why don’t you just call me sister like a brother?」

Lise had a mischievous smile on her face as she said this.

「I don’t want to embarrass Sam too much, so I’ll leave it at that for today. Have a good rest of the day.」

「Thank you very much.」

「When you get a chance, tell me how you and sister spent your time.」

「Of course. I’ll be sure to tell you.」

「I’ll look forward to it. See you soon.」

Lise waved her hand and walked away.

After watching her go, Sam quietly opened the door to the room he had been given.

Then he was surprised.

「Whoaa… the rooms are so luxurious that it would be rude to compare them to those of a country baronet.」

It wasn’t so poor, but compared to the Reinbachs, it was really luxurious.

Even when he was traveling with Ur, he had never slept in such a luxurious room ever since he was invited as a guest of the royal family of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Sam wondered if he should lie down on the well-made bed, but he was tired after a week of traveling to the capital without a break, and he wanted to rest.

He was relieved that he had safely delivered Ur’s corpse to her family, and now his body needed a rest.

He thought he would at least clean himself up, but he ended up collapsing into bed, succumbing to sleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Sam would travel into his dreams.

Strangely enough, the sleep was peaceful.

It must have been thanks to everyone in Walker’s family who warmly and kindly accepted Sam, who had lost his beloved and was acting as if he was forgetting his grief.

In the dream vision, Sam thanked Ur’s family.

And in the dream he had that day, he felt that Ur had said「Thank you」to him.
