As soon as Ed reached the door, the hidden door in front of him was quickly opened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the sight of Violetta's brilliant blonde hair, Ed was stunned, his already exhausted body became even heavier, and he suddenly didn't even have the strength to take a step forward.

He hasn't heard from Norway yet...... He didn't have time to inquire about Novi anymore.

He hadn't slept all night -- and Scott and Filly had been arguing almost all night. There were times when he thought the two would be desperate to punch each other in the face or worse...... And even if his mind was also in chaos, he was scared and had a headache and a dry mouth, desperately trying to appease them, but it was his "little guy" who was almost half their age.

It's indescribably tired.

When they finally managed to reach a consensus in the midst of the argument, Ed almost collapsed on the spot and couldn't get up...... But he had to come back. It wasn't easy for him to get Naria to leave on the grounds that "Violita needs to be taken care of" if he couldn't come back soon and tell her something...... I probably won't have to come back.

In his glazed gaze, Viorita nodded to him, with little expectation or blame in her eyes, only the exhaustion and disappointment that lurked behind the calm—though she didn't know what Nalya had said, she had obviously guessed it.

She turned in silence, and Ed followed her into the house, unsurprisingly smelling the aroma of food.

It was an indescribable relief that made Ed almost burst into tears for a moment.

This is the most ordinary happiness...... But it can give him the courage to fight against everything.

He took a deep breath and headed for Naria as she walked over with a plate, but Vioritta suddenly stopped, and when she turned, her sharp sword was already unsheathed.

Ed watched as the sword slashed past his eyes...... Straight to the door of the storage room.

"Wait!"

Naria had already cried out, "Not an enemy!"

The door to the storage room opened, and a small man inside the door stared at the sword that poked in front of him.

"What's going on?" he cried, "did I get the door open the door wrong?...... That can't be!"

"Nia ...... Tess?!"

Ed's screams of surprise overpowered them all.

Nia suddenly appeared with a girl on her back, and although she couldn't see her face, it was impossible for Ed to mistake the flaming red hair.

“...... Can someone help me?"

In a moment of silence after a shock, Nia spoke angrily: "Your little Tess looks at the little ...... The meat is firm!"

After a period of confusion, Tess was finally placed in bed, still sleeping happily and soundly.

Ed didn't know any spell that could make people sleep like this. But even if it is the effect of the drug, the use of rehabilitation surgery is absolutely sufficient...... But he was sweating profusely for a while, but he still couldn't wake Tess up.

"Hey!"

Nia grabbed his trembling hand and carried Mochi, who was sleeping in a ball, in front of him, "Try this." ”

Ed almost thought he wanted Mo to take a bite on Tess, it was said to have a magical effect on waking up unconscious people, but Mo himself was asleep......

Then he finally reacted, and Nia asked him to try to wake up Xiao Mo.

Restoration was not a low-level spell, and Ed did not hesitate to use it on the little mongoose, and after a moment of stiffness, Mo turned his head sharply and bit down fiercely at Nia who was carrying the back of his neck.

"What a murderer!"

Nia Tuk praised. With a flexible twist of his fingers, he had firmly clamped Xiao Mo who was trying to break free.

The immobile little guy let out a terrible scream.

"Nia!" Naria shouted, reaching out and snatching Mo away.

The frightened little mongoose sprang out of her palm and sprang around for a while, kicking Tess on the forehead and pulling out a few red strands as she jumped back into Naria's arms...... She still hasn't woken up.

Mo trembled and curled up in Naria's arms, screaming in a small voice that sounded like he wanted to tell them something.

“...... Do you understand?"

Nia asked the elf who was poking there coldly beside him, "Aren't you able to talk to animals?"

Violita didn't even look at him.

She stared at Tess in silence all the time, her eyes so dark that Ed was a little frightened. He also remembered that Viorita was once angry with Tess because of Norvi's "death", and even chased her with a sword and slashed ......

"Where did you find her?"

As Ed quietly moved his body to try to separate her from Tess, the elf suddenly asked.

"Uh...... Even if I told you, you probably wouldn't find it. ”

Nia shrugged her shoulders and replied frankly, "And I took Tess with me, and that fat fox will soon find out...... There will be nothing left there. ”

"Aaron Mansini?"

Ed was surprised and asked, "Why is Tess there with him?!"

Norvi's "enemy" should be the elves...... If it was normal for Tess to show up at the Starry Night Hotel, which had been shut down, how did Aaron Mancini have anything to do with it?

Everything that happened in Stonebugch lately...... Could it be related to Grivar as well?

"'The Count of Everywhere'. Nia spread her hands helplessly, "This nickname is not without reason...... I searched around as much as I could, but found nothing. I thought about leaving Tess there, as she didn't seem to be in any danger, and if I kept an eye on it, I might find more...... But I didn't dare take any chances. She's important to you, isn't she?"

He wasn't confident enough to feel that he was completely undetectable, and if Mancini sensed something, Tess's situation might turn bad.

Ed nodded vigorously. Even if it alarms Mansini, it may even affect Scott's plans...... It was worth it to be able to save Tess.

But he couldn't guess what Tess had been through, and ...... And where is Norvi?

There's no way he's going to throw Tess down.

He stared blankly at the red-haired girl, and his mind flashed through Sercio's expressionless face. The boy whose soul was wounded might never recover, if Tess had been hurt in the same way......

Maybe Jay Oylan will have a way.

The thought made Ed panic. It's one thing to temporarily cooperate with a notorious necromancer for reasons of last resort...... It's another thing to have genuine respect and some kind of trust in him.

"You should have left her there. ”

Viorita's voice was cold and stiff, but she only said this one sentence before turning away.

"Alas. Nia sighed quietly, "Spoiled girls are the hardest to deal with. ”

“...... She could hear it. Ed said with a bitter face.

Nia smiled at him nonchalantly.

"When is Scott going to die?"

He asked.
