Now, Catbell, it's time for us to go!

Leaned over and touched the black cat that obeyed the master's instructions and remained upright to sit beside me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It deliberately craned its neck, rubbed its chin against my hand twice, then stood up and stretched its paws forward hard.

"Dean Rofal, I'm going." I say.

"Well, I'm going to give you a disguise, but it only lasts for half a day - be careful!"

"Okay!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In the morning, Asa, who was full of confidence, handed over a plan of action to Nabal.

"Yes, everything that should be considered has been taken into account," said Nabal, who was very satisfied with the plan, "but it needs to be revised - it can get eighty points." ”

"Huh? Only eighty points? I think 120 points is fine......" Asa muttered dissatisfied.

"Uncle Barr, what kind of plan is it?!" Little Luca stood on tiptoe curiously, trying to see the parchment in Nabal's hand.

Curious, I stepped forward, too.

The plan was written in detail, even the reasons and reasons for setting up the plan were written.

Asa argues that since the Masked Man wants to keep it a secret at all costs, it cannot be ruled out that the Chamber of Secrets will be completely destroyed before we arrive (although it is unclear why the Masked Man has not destroyed the Chamber so far), so it is necessary to get there by surprise and at the same time lure the Masked Man as much else as possible - if not to get away, at least to hinder them before they can destroy them.

And the Masked Man's target is me - so Asa's plan is to fly directly to Angela Mountain with Nabal - with the defensive barrier of Elise, the heavenly spear in Little Luca's hand, plus Nabal's overwhelming strength. It is absolutely possible to control it and prevent the masked man from wreaking havoc in the vicinity.

After that, I. Asa and Minia set out from the Academy of Magic and eventually join up with little Luca - just in time to attract the masked man's attention.

And if you're lucky, little Luca prays to the heavenly spear in Angela Hill in advance, maybe you can find the secret room directly - the masked people always thought that I found the secret room, but they didn't know that the real key to discovering the secret room was little Luca!

"It's a good plan, but you've set the prerequisites in advance!" Seeing that we finished reading the plan, Nabal said. "Your premise is that the secret that caused the mutation in the mountains and that the masked man wanted to protect was the secret room, right?"

"Huh? Is there something wrong?! Asa didn't understand.

"Nonsense! I ask you - what if you find the secret room? ”

"This ......"

"Don't forget that our goal is not just to discover the secret room, but to discover the secrets of the secret room! It's a secret room about Taoism - the one who can solve this mystery. Only Sakura, who is a Taoist magician! Do you understand? ”

"Makes sense...... Then let little Luka fly over with Sakura?! No, no, no! Asa shook his head repeatedly, "With the two of them, they are definitely no match for the Masked Man!" Little Luca, can your Elise take two of them? ”

"Woo! No way! "Little Luca felt a little guilty," Luca said, I could only fly with one person. ”

"That'...... Aren't you still going to wait for me and Sakura to walk over? ――Is there any point in attracting masked people? "Asa is a little discouraged." Can't attract at all! ”

"Waiting for the three of you?! Joke! - There are so many ways to stop you! Nabal directly rejected Asa's suggestion. Even if the three of you can resist the Masked Man together, even if the Masked Man doesn't want to kill Sakura - maybe you and Minia, but as long as you set up an enchantment or trap and lock the three of you up - or just transport them somewhere else, do you have a way?! ”

"We're so weak there?!" Minia couldn't help but interject, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say to do?!" ”

"I said, it's a good plan. But it needs to be changed - Asa, and when little Luca and I leave, disguise Minia as Sakura. You two go! ”

"Just me and this maggot?!" "Just the two of us? What about Sakura?! The two named shouted together.

"Sakura is the last to go."

"She's alone?!" Asa exclaimed in surprise, "How can this work?!" How does this work?! How dangerous is a person?! ”

Am I alone?

I really haven't thought about it.

But it's a good idea, the masked people's attention is drawn to Asa and Minia, or to the raiding little Luca and Nabal, and if I'm careful, I'll definitely reach Angela Hill unhindered. Moreover, I have been with Asa all along, and the masked people probably would never have thought that Asa would allow me to enter the mountain alone, and they would definitely believe that Minia who was walking with Asa in disguise was what I said.

But why do you feel nervous and uneasy in your heart? Kindness...... Not because you have to act alone, but because-

"Idiot! It's you who are in danger! Nabal voiced my concern, "Once you leave the enchantment of the Academy of Magic, you and Minia will be exposed to the masked man's sight, Minia disguised as Sakura is relatively safe, if the masked man wants to stop - your guard must be removed!" ”

“……”

"I should be fine, right?!" Asa stood for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's a big deal that I'll hide in the ice and let Minia take care of the fight!" - Sakura...... Can she do it alone? Maybe it's not dangerous, but now it's full of snow outside! It's not that you don't know the terrible ...... of the snowy mountains. Sakura is alone, can she get there safely?! At this point, Asa gave me a worried look and added, "If you get lost in the mountains, you'll be in trouble!" ”

"Asa, rest assured! - I'm fine! I waved my hand, "Not so pampered!" ――I used to climb mountains with Lacey! ”

"Sakura, you're so naïve!" Asa shook his head repeatedly, "This is the mountains of Northridge!" It's not the same as the plains and hills! -- And now it's snowing everywhere, and you won't be able to find your way in less than 10 minutes into the mountains! You'll definitely be trapped in the mountains! ”

"Uh......" I hesitated.

"That's a problem......" Nabal hesitated.

"That! That one! Sister Sakura! Sister Sakura! Luca: I have a solution! Little Luca suddenly raised her hand in high spirits and suggested, "Let the cat bell follow you, okay?" ”

"Cat Bell?!"

"Yes! Cat bells! Little Luca proudly picked up the black cat beside her, "Cat Bell is very smart!" It can lead the way for Sister Sakura! ”

"Little one! Are you a search and rescue dog for that black cat?! Asa sighed helplessly, "That's a cat!" It's not a dog! Where would it be so smart?! And look at its stupid face—"

"Don't speak ill of it!" Little Luka glared at Asa dissatisfied, "Believe in Luka's!" Cat bells are much smarter than dogs! And very obediently said! ”

"Then you can't let the cat lead the way! ――Have you ever heard of someone bringing a cat into the mountains?! Besides, even if your black cat is very obedient, how can it find its way in the mountains that it has never been to?! Asa continued to complain.

"Yes! Yes! Luca: I said yes, that's fine! The little guy looked very proud, "Actually, our purpose is that Sister Sakura and Luca and I will meet, wouldn't it be good?" - Catbell can find Luca every time! ”

"Really?"

"Oh! This is indeed oh! Minia stood in solidarity with little Luca, "I've lost this black cat many times, but it finds little Luca every time - it's incredible!" ”

"Huh?! It turns out that the disappearance of the cat bell was done by Minia's sister?! Woo! Bad apple! Ignore you! ”

"Ugh!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。

So, wearing snowshoes, wrapped in a thick white bearskin coat, and carrying the strange black cat named Catbell in my arms, I quietly set off from the back door of the magic academy half a day after Asa and Minia set off.

In order to avoid being discovered, before leaving, Dean Rofal specially performed a camouflage spell on me, plus the Dao talisman I used to hide my body - no one should be able to find out, right?

According to the map, the peak, which Mr. Renard named Mount Angela, is among the mountains a day's walk from the Academy of Magic, but it is now covered with snow...... It is estimated that it will take at least two days to reach Angela Mountain, right?

Indeed, Nabal was right, it was much more dangerous than me to take a different route to attract Asa and Minia to the Masked Man.

Asa ...... You have to be careful! u
