The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

"Long time no see, Fran."

"Yes. Long time no see, Lise."

In her room at the Countess Walker's, Lise was having tea with Fran across the table.

"When was the last time you saw me like this?"

"Not since Lise got married. I'm sorry about your marriage. I am ashamed that I once gave you my blessing, that such a man was your husband."

"--It's over. Not so long ago, I was dwelling on my marriage, but not anymore."

Lise, who had once been depressed after her unhappy marriage, was now able to talk about the past without any problems.

Fran was relieved to hear this.

"Is it because of Sam?"

"...... I agree. I think that meeting that boy helped me to recover."

Just like my father.

"I'm sure Mr. Delight is training Sam right now."

"My father has been very anxious all morning because Sam and Albert's duel has been made official," he said. He was also looking forward to Sam's arrival. Even though he had refused to use magic for so long, he was still a magician at heart.

Fran had a happy smile on her face when she thought of her father.

"You look happy. I haven't seen that look on your face in a long time.

"I've never been so happy. He's back to his father's love of magic."

Fran looks really happy.

Lise was honestly pleased with the change in her friend.

In the past Fran had been busy supporting her father who had lost his position as court wizard and the most powerful man in the kingdom.

It could be said that he did not have enough time.

She wanted to help her friend, but there was not much she could do to help him.

In the last few years, I had been going through a difficult time because of an unhappy marriage, and we had almost drifted apart, but Sam had given me the opportunity to see each other again.

"I'm sure it's the same for you, too."

"Me?"

"It's not that I couldn't come to see you before because I had to take care of my father. I just didn't know what to look like with Lise, who had been through so much."

"...... I'm glad you did."

"You are not a good friend. If Lise was in pain, I wanted to comfort and support her as her best friend. ...... but I couldn't. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it."

Lise was happy enough with Fran's feelings.

Besides, even if they had met each other, it might not have turned out well.

So let's be thankful that we can laugh together now.

"Sam told me about Lise. When I found out that she was training him with the sword again, I knew I had to meet her.

"How do you feel about meeting him?"

"You look much nicer than the Liese I've known so far."

"Thank you."

"A woman in love is a beautiful woman."

"Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden?

Lise's face turns bright red and she panics at the unexpected words.

Seeing her reaction, Fran's smile deepens as if she is convinced of something.

"I'm not like that, Sam is like my little brother.

"It's okay. We're not friends. I won't tell anyone."

"............"

"You're at least a little aware of the opposite s*x, aren't you?"

"What makes you say that?"

Lise asked, and Fran laughed.

It seems that her dear friend doesn't even know if she likes the boy or not.

"Because Liese seems so happy when she talks about Sam," she said.

Lise looked surprised at Fran's point.

After a while, she nodded her head in agreement.
