After carefully closing the door with his backhand, Iss lowered his voice and asked in Ed's ear, "What are you going to do?"

Naria stays in the room to stay with Tess, who hasn't calmed down yet—Ed worries that she won't be able to calm down completely. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but they seem to have escaped for the time being...... At least for now, Nalya didn't have time to ask him anything.

"What do you say?" Eder asked hesitantly, a little glad he didn't have to deal with such a problem alone, at least...... Isis has become his "accomplice".

Iss was silent for a few moments, apparently unable to make up his mind.

“...... Scott will burn my ......" Ed muttered, remembering another trouble that could come to him at any moment.

Isis glared at him with great disdain: "It's not good." ”

He made his decision immediately, and Ed suspected that it was not a rational consideration: "Of course we have to tell her—— telling her is telling Eren that Eren will have a way." ”

He quickly found good reasons for his impulsive decision...... Ed blinked, and couldn't help but admire a little.

“...... What sound?" Iss frowned.

There was a faint scratching sound behind the door, like a rat burrowing. Ise gently pushed the door open a crack, and a gray shadow slipped out.

Xiao Mo rarely stood upright on his legs, looking up at them, his straightened body unexpectedly slender. It hesitated for a moment, stretched out its paws and probed for a moment, before grabbing Ed's clothes, crawling awkwardly all the way up to his shoulder, crouching there, and slapping his face with its paws very seriously.

Ed scratched its soft chin in confusion, looking dazed: "...... Are you hungry?"

Xiao Mo's body stiffened visibly, and the overly rich look in his eyes made Iss couldn't help but reach out to the back of his neck - his instincts were not wrong, there was definitely something wrong with this little guy.

The little creature that had always been obedient enough to carry him around quickly avoided his hand and flicked its claws at him helplessly.

"Tsk!" it said.

Eth inexplicably felt that tone very familiar...... Even its expression is very familiar.

He looked at Ed, who was looking at him with a dull and panicked look, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly and looking strangely smiling—he thought they had guessed the same ridiculous possibility.

"Do you think it's going to be ......" Ed said hesitantly, and before he could finish his words, Xiao Mo suddenly stood up vigilantly, his little ears moving back and forth, and slammed from Ed's shoulder to the railing.

Its hind paws slid on the lacquered crossbar and nearly fell, but it quickly regained its balance with its natural agility, ran a little down the railing, looked downstairs into the living room, and then turned back to warn them:

"Tsk!"

The uninvited guest who appeared downstairs smiled and spread his hands innocently: "I heard that a paladin would never hurt an unarmed person?"

"The premise is that you're still a 'human'. Fili sneered, his sword clenched in his hand.

He'd seen the powerful and strange spells of this unremarkable fat man, and even if he didn't have the staff in his hand, he wouldn't let his guard down.

Isis rolled over and jumped directly from the second floor, his face gloomy.

"Why aren't you dead?" he said.

He watched the fat man being dragged into the water in the labyrinth at the bottom of Kriesburg, and thought he was going to die, and didn't bother to look for his body...... But he's still alive.

He narrowed his eyes, uneasy at realizing that even with Alan and Akhan, Klossersburg was vulnerable and dangerous today...... He should have let them all get out of there. Even if that place had once been his home, the rock-filled fortress was far less important than the living.

"What shall I say?" said Aaron Mansini with a smile as he put his hands on his round belly, "perhaps...... as they often say, 'the gods have their own arrangements'?"

"Can't you just be cheerful and say whatever you have to say?"

Behind him, another voice lazily urged, "I didn't let you in to listen to your nonsense. ”

Nia leaned against the door and threw a grape into her mouth.

"Time is precious, Lord Count. He said.

The sentence suddenly changed tone, and it sounded like a lively girl with a crisp voice. Ed, who had just walked down the stairs, shuddered, and thought of the dress-wearing Nia Meyer when they first met.

The muscles in Mansini's face twitched involuntarily. He was proud of his elusiveness, but the thief who was better at the elusiveness than he had made him feel deeply frustrated more than once...... He even stole the red-haired girl from right under his nose!

“...... I'm just here to give a present. He said, respectfully handing over a small wooden box.

“...... Throw it on the ground. Fili said.

Mancini smiled, bent down and placed the wooden box on the ground, even thoughtfully opening it so that everyone could see the strangely shaped knife in the box.

"Oooh!" Nia, looking at it, exclaimed with interest, "What a valuable gift!"

Filly frowned, recognizing it—it was the dagger found in the Raven's castle. The hilt of the pure gold is priceless, but the blade is just a broken blade.

He was supposed to bring it to Sean, but Tess stole it from him...... He hasn't seen him since.

Is's fingers moved subconsciously. He could even feel the remnant sword tremble slightly around his waist...... They are indeed one.

"I think you know what it is...... Now that you have all the pieces of it—almost all. Mancini said.

“...... And we just have to thank you for being kind enough to send it back?" said Iss, coldly annoyed that he didn't even know what it was, "And, this thing was ours in the first place, but it's not a 'gift'. ”

Mancini shrugged regretfully: "Say whatever you want, I'm just doing what I'm told." ”

Phili's slightly drooping tip of the sword was lifted again, pointing straight at his chest.

"You really don't need to be so guarded, Paladin-sama. Mancini smiled and raised his hands, "Look, I don't plan to run away, I'd be happy to stay and answer all your questions if you need to, but you may be a little disappointed...... I probably don't know as much as you think. If you don't need to, you'd better let me get out while it's dark and raining—I'm still a wanted criminal, after all. ”
