With a decision, Shinji quickly left the workshop, leaving Feather Tysa to visit the underground workshop designed by Skaha himself, combining the three systems of the gods, the elven age, and modern magic.

The living quarters on the ground were empty, and neither the breath of family nor the servants could be seen, and the only person who could be found was Weber. He sat on a recliner in the backyard, sipping tea, smoking a cigar, rubbing his Gameboy — don't think weird, that's Webb's daily style of painting, wearing civilian clothes today because he's fine, and he has to add an extra suit and tie in the office.

At this time, three days had passed since Tosaka Tokitomi's funeral, and Weber, who had dealt with the inheritance and patent inheritance, rushed to Makiri's house as a matter of course to meet his friends who had been absent for many days.

Since then, Webb has reported to the house every day, just to report for duty, not to live in the house.

I don't know how many people still remember that Weber had his own residence in Dongmu City, a somewhat old two-story cottage, a pair of elderly and kind old couples, and a small but warm home. It was the place where Webb was most involved in Winterwood City, and the bits and pieces that happened there would never be forgotten by Webb for the rest of his life.

After the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Webber kept in touch with the owner of the house, Old Man McKenzie, and the old man invited Weber to stay in the house for a few days several times, just like a real grandchild. It's just that Weber hasn't been able to find time because of some problems in teaching and life, and this time he finally has the opportunity, of course, he will go back there, drink with the old man again, look at the stars, and recall that life-changing encounter.

Seeing Shinji, Weber casually saved a file, threw the host aside, took out a teacup from the tea tray, and poured a cup of tea for Shinji.

"You're done talking to your Excellency the Magician?"

Shinji took the teacup and took a sip: "After talking, the old man asked me to do something for him after a while, and I can't go back to the clock tower for the time being." ”

Webb spat out a smoke ring, and his expression didn't change at all: "If you don't go back, you won't go back." The teacher is busy with the 'crown' evaluation, and you can't help if you go, and the Clone team has been retaken over by Miss Loreleya, so you don't need to worry about it. Just take a break, do what you want to do, and get out of the limelight along the way. ”

In the battle with the "White Wing Gong", the "Grim Reaper" became famous all over the world, attracting widespread attention from the mysterious world, and all major forces are looking for the whereabouts of the "Grim Reaper" and discovering the information of this mysterious powerhouse. If Shinji returned to the clock tower at this time, it would be tantamount to putting himself on the cusp of the storm, which was inconsistent with the original intention of hiding his identity, so Weber suggested hiding from the limelight.

Shinji also thinks the same way, and there is no better way to hide than directly hiding in the parallel world, just let those "eyes" find it, and if you have the ability, you can find the parallel world.

Of course, before leaving, he had to confess to his family and friends.

"I just went around in a circle, and you're the only one in the house, what about the others?"

"Your parents went to the company and took the family maid with them. Your uncle went to Tosaka's house, and it seems that Mrs. Tosaka was looking for something with him. The rest of the girls went out together and said they were going shopping. ”

"Shopping, they?"

Shinji's face was incredible.

◇◇◇

Girls, women, at least the vast majority of women love to go shopping. It's a woman's nature, and there's not much to say, but this vast majority is an absolute minority among the girls Shinji knows.

The women around Shinji, except for her mother Elsa, are the only ones who like to go shopping, but this is because they have been sick in bed for many years, and none of the others take shopping as a hobby. I don't know if it's because I like to be quiet by nature, or because of the influence of mysticism, let these people go shopping, and go shopping together, unless there is a serious shortage of various daily necessities, and they have to buy a large number of collectives.

Now, there is no shortage of things in the house, and it is impossible for the girls to go shopping. In fact, they didn't go shopping, but just found an excuse to leave the house and gather at the mountain villa a few kilometers away, Orange's First Workshop.

After Shinji, who had not heard from him for many days, returned, Orange, who was far away in Tokyo, Fujino at Reien Women's College, and Kiri, who was touring around Japan, rushed back as fast as they could, and rushed to the boy they were all concerned about.

The boy's smile was as good as ever, but the changes that had taken place in him did not hide a pair of concerned eyes. In addition to their concern, they also noticed the new girl next to the boy.

Although the strange girl didn't show anything deliberately, the woman's sixth sense told them that she didn't have a good relationship with him and knew a lot about him that they didn't know.

One night, the most restless Kirie pulls Sakura and Fujino into a small meeting, proposing to find out the bottom of the girl named Loreleia. Orange, who learned about this, provided a venue for the girls with the mood to watch a good show - so, there was this "girls' friendship" that hid from Shinji.

As soon as the friendship began, the initiator Kiri-e launched an offensive: "Miss Loreleia, what is the relationship between you and Shinji?"

Who is Lorelaya? She is the new lord of the Law and Political Affairs Section, how could she be frightened by this little scene, and immediately sat there elegantly and dignifiedly, and said with a smile: "I am also curious about Miss Kirist, what is the relationship between you and Miss Fujino and Shinji." ”

"It was he who gave me a second life, he said I was his friend, his family. Every time I mention it, I look proud.

"Me too. ”

Fujino smiled lightly, and her warm and watery attitude gave Loreleia a lot of pressure, don't all men like this?

Now it was Miss Loreley's answer. ”

"We are friends and comrades-in-arms. ”

"Comrade-in-arms?" Hearing Loreleia's words, the eyes of Orange, who had been watching the play, narrowed, "Then you know the cause and effect of Shinji's injury this time?"

Unlike other girls, Orange, who had spent time in the clock tower, was well aware of Lorelea's identity and weight.

"Yes, I know very well that that is my responsibility and that of my family. ”

"Please let us know the details. Orange said, as soon as she showed such an expression, the other girls stopped talking, and looked at Loreleia with anticipation in their eyes.

"Yes, but why don't you ask me?" Loreleia wondered.

Orange shook his head: "He won't say that with his machismo and excessive protectiveness, he won't tell us this." ”

"But what if you know?" it wasn't that Loreleia was proud, she really didn't think that these women in front of her could do anything.

"Don't underestimate us, Lord Barsermeiro. Orange took off her glasses, the coldness on her face causing the temperature in the room to drop, "As long as we want, you won't be able to leave this workshop today." ”

"Then I'd love to see it. Loreleia drew her whip and slowly stood up, "If you really have this ability, I am willing to provide you with some help in your next actions." ”

PS: Let's put it this way, Orange has the hole card to kill Loreleia, and if you have read "The Realm of the Void" or "The Book of Events of the Second World", you will naturally know it, and if you don't know, it will be revealed in a few days, which is the most adequate chapter of this volume.
