Chapter 36: The Joker's Plan
In the silence, the oppressive atmosphere has lasted for a long time. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info Natsuki looked at Rozval with some panic, since the joker asked "What do you think I have to do with the rumored witch", he should have been seriously injured and sat up from the bed.
"Your wounds...... Are you pretending??" Cai Yue looked at the clown with a one-sided blindfold in front of her.
"Of course...... No. Rozval chuckled and said sarcastically, "I'm not bad enough to do that, but this is your third day in the Sanctuary, and you're able to- how quickly you can discover my secrets, which is impressive." β
"What do you mean. Natsuki took a step back quietly, he lacked the courage to face the clown who sat up again, after all, the other party was a well-known court magician.
"What do you mean? Well, of course I want to say that to you when asked like that. Rozval raised his hand and kneaded his chin, and the smile on his face could probably be described as demonic, "Congratulations." And welcome, I have been waiting for a long time for the moment you stand before me. β
Inexplicably, Caiyue felt a chill that seemed to be brushed against her back by her wet fingers. For Rozval, who uttered such words, had a sickly delight in his eyes -- it was disgusting.
"All this, everything is your conspiracy. The fragmented clues in her mind began to be pieced together, and Natsuki said her guess in an angry tone, "You are the one who hired Elsa, first in the royal capital to have people steal Emilia's medal, and now let them infiltrate the mansion through secret passages and kill others. What are your intentions for Emilia and me?"
"Sure enough......" Rozval nodded, "and you will be angry and angry at the mention of these things, but not sad." It's because it's all a salvageable situation -- that's what you think? β
"What......" Natsuki took a step back sharply, a frightened look on her face for the first time.
"If you don't deviate from what is written in that book, you -- have the means to start over. That's right, right. Rozval confessed cleanly, "The two people who appeared in response to fate, one has the means to start over, and the other has the power to change the future." β
"What the hell do you want to say!! Caiyue shouted uncontrollably, obviously he was the one who came to question, why the situation was completely out of his control.
"I?!" Rozval raised his eyebrows, mocking and disgusted, "I repeat, the ridiculous fate that has belonged to this world for four hundred years. β
"I'm afraid I'm going to interrupt the two of you a little. The voice that came out of the sky blocked what Caiyue wanted to say.
Ram, who came back at some point, walked in slowly through the door, walked through Caiyue's side, all the way to Rozval's side, and then assumed a defensive posture - facing Caiyue.
"Ram ......" Caiyue's face suddenly darkened, he thought that the maid who specially called Otto to help him was an ally on his side, and it seemed that everything was still too naΓ―ve.
"Lord Rozval, Mistress Emilia has failed her trial, and I just carried her back to her room. Instead of responding to Natsuki's voice, Ram said with his back to the clown.
"That's terrible news. Rozval put his hand against his forehead, "Now what are you going to do, Pleiades, it's the fourth day soon, do you want me to see what you're capable of?"
"You madman!" Nanatsuki cursed.

β¦β¦
It's still a familiar study, and Caiyue Pleiades is imprisoned again. Compared to the last time he was irritable, this time he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fear. Ever since he stepped into the Sanctuary, everything that had happened had made him rediscover the world.
The witch who came back from the dead appeared in front of him again, and couldn't help but give him the qualification to participate in the trial, and also integrated the precious witch factor into his body by drinking tea.
And Rozval, who was supposed to be a companion, became the murderer behind the scenes, and everything he has suffered so far is just to test whether he is the 'person' recorded in the book?
What is the Joker doing for what purpose, to the extent that he needs to sacrifice Rem and Fredrica? If he didn't have that ability, they would really die!Rozval, that bastard......
Struggling to bang her head against the wall behind her, Natsuki vented her dissatisfaction to the clown lying next door in this way. Funnily enough, the other party also seemed to sense his actions.
"It's just past midnight, Pleiades, instead of getting angry or venting, let's hurry up and think of a solution, after all, we can't contact the outside world. β
Again, in this teasing tone, did Rozval think of himself as a guinea pig playing with his palm?
Yes, this time Rozval did not tie him up, but to some extent gave him freedom of movement, except for the iron lock that was locked on the study.
Calm down, calm down, you must be calm. Sitting cross-legged, Natsuki slapped his cheek with his hand and began to use the method that his father Kenichi Nagetsu had taught him to sort out the information in his hand.
While Natsuki was thinking a little bit, the rapid passage of time brought about the sunshine that symbolized the daylight -- the morning of the fourth day came.
Mornings in the big forest are always full of poetry like no other. The sound of insects and birds singing is accompanied by the flowing river, and the blooming flowers shake off the dew in the wind and open in a more relaxed manner.
"Mistress Amilia, are you awake?" Otto gently pushed open the door to the girl's room with breakfast in his hand, and greeted Emilia who had already sat up.
"Well, Otto is you?" the silver-haired half-elf blinked in confusion, and it was usually Ram, the maid of the house, who would bring her breakfast.
"Miss Ram's workload has become heavier today, so I volunteered to help a little. The sneering Otto lowered his head in embarrassment and placed the tray on the desk in the room, "Please finish breakfast as soon as possible, Mistress Emilia." β
"Thank you. The girl who was inexplicably depressed barely showed a smile in response to the other party's concern.
"Then I'll take my leave. β
When Otto left the room, a wordless Emilia stepped up to her desk. Today's breakfast was ordinary bread and milk, and the resources of the Sanctuary had been in a state of scarcity, and it was already very difficult to make such an early meal under such circumstances.
Emilia took a sip of the milk, and was about to put down the cup when she noticed a folded note appearing in the place where the cup was.
With this question in mind, Emilia opened the note. Scribbled in black letters, a short sentence was recorded--"Arashi is not in the cemetery, he is somewhere in the sanctuary." (To be continued.) )
