Fohl was ready to say the worst news to Elaina at that time after receiving the orders of the two old heroes. He fully knows how troublesome his request will be, but he still hopes that Elaina will actually understand the situation. But he also knows that even with this news, there is a big chance that nothing will change, and it will just add more pressure to Elaina to finish the whole thing. He feels guilty, but he has no choice. This is for the safety of everyone after all.

Just as he was ready to go in for real this time, someone appeared behind him.
"Oh? Are you here on business with my sister?"
