"That's it...... In this way, Ling finally ...... "Returning from the Republic of Calvard without incident, as if nothing had happened, Heliga is still staying in the hotel located on Entertainment Street." At Lloyd's visitor, Heliga hears a story that he doesn't know how to describe.

The only remaining son of the Hyvas couple, the only son after Ling, recklessly broke into the outskirts of the city to play, but was attacked by a demonic beast, and the situation was very critical for a while. Seeing this, Ling, who had been observing from the side, couldn't help but rush forward and protect her younger brother. Later, after learning about this incident, the Hayvas and their relatives hurriedly came to find support to thank them, and they were even more excited when they overheard Lloyd and others describe Ling's appearance - under the inquiry of Lloyd and others, the couple once again uncovered this bloody wound.

But something special is that this time, Ling is hiding in the closet in the room - the truth that her biological parents "abandoned" her, she finally understands.

It turned out that he had never been abandoned.

"yes...... Shortly after that, she gave it to me as a gift in return. Lloyd raised the golden card in his hand, which was the admission card to the "black auction" held by Rubacher, "Thanks to her, we finally have a way to get into it......"

"Hmm...... Not bad. Heliga nodded a little awkwardly, almost telling her that she had the card, "But compared to that...... Why are you so interested in this auction? ”

"That's what Estelle learned...... It was said to be an illegal trading venue led by Rubache and Speaker Harutman - we wanted to get some information from it to curb their arrogance......"

"That's right...... I'm really doing my best. Heliga exclaimed, "Then I'll be here to help after a long absence." ”

"Help?" Lloyd was puzzled.

"Keep it a secret for now." Heliga smiled mysteriously. When the time comes, Lloyd will surely be amazed.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door, which woke Sophia, who had just put the child to sleep. She hurried out and opened the door, only to find it empty.

"Strange...... I heard a voice...... Maybe it was yesterday that made us too tired. Although she thought she was not mistaken, Sophia finally let go of the entanglement, "Huh...... When Harold returns, we'll have to discuss it...... Well? ”

Just as she was about to close the door and go back, she noticed that something seemed to have fallen in front of the door. She picked it up curiously, and the contents made her shiver instantly. She clutched the photo in her arms in a bit of panic, and ran out of the door in a bit of a gaffe, looking left and right, but in the end she found nothing.

"......" She was a little sluggish, and without noticing anything, Sophia had to pace back slowly. As she walked, she pulled out the photograph — carefully checking the violet-haired girl and the bright smile that seemed genuine.

"Is that really good? Ling. Not far away, on the corner of the street, you can easily see the movement in front of the house, but on the edge of the blind spot in the perspective of the house, you can't see anything, the silver-haired young man looks at the girl next to him with some worry. Except for the time when he had just delivered her from the hell called "Paradise", he had never seen it, "You know the truth now...... If you want to recognize them—"

"No...... Ling didn't think so...... However, I do feel a lot more comfortable...... in every sense. The smile on Rei's face was not forced, but heartfelt, "Although I would love to complain about you and Haliga meddling...... However, I would like to thank you this time. ”

"That guy is also powerful enough, he can actually take the initiative to attack and get words out of him." Looking at Ling's smile, Levi also felt warm in his heart, and he was happy for Ling, "But anyway, it's more reassuring for you to hear it yourself...... I was still struggling with how to tell you about this, but I didn't expect it to happen by accident - it's called the "Special Service Support Section", right? This favor has to be repaid. ”

"yes...... Ling had already given them an invitation card to the "Black Auction", which could be counted as a thank you gift - although it was probably not enough. Speaking of this topic, Ling glanced at Levi angrily, "Originally, I obviously planned to go with you...... A border nobleman from the empire, with a beautiful righteous sister he picked up - this setting is very emotional, right? ”

"Don't tease me...... I think it's a bit risky to show your face on that occasion...... It's too easy to recognize, I don't know how I promised him at the time......" Levi hesitated, "Ling, if you want to go, why don't you ...... for me"

"No—Ling is going to continue to be an observer." Ling grinned, "Speaking of which, he actually got in touch with Black Moon...... And he made a big deal without mercy. I've heard that Black Moon's headquarters, which had been harassed by the Red Constellation, returned to normal within a few days of his departure - the Red Constellation had been driven away. ”

"After all, the people who go are not really elite, and this result is not surprising...... But I suspect that even the strongest elite of the "Red Constellation" can't resist his state...... To be honest, I still don't know what his real purpose is. Levi frowned, "Did you instill something in him?" ”

"That's a suggestion! Don't use such ugly words. Ling deliberately pursed her lips and put on an angry look, "I'll tell you about this - but he will be interested in the "Black Auction", most likely because of the hole card against "Lubacher" that "Black Moon" has - this information, Ling also has reservations here." ”

"What information?" Levi asked curiously, Ling is a master of data and information, and if she is willing to do it, many times she just needs to be around and cheer and praise.

"One of the delicate dolls made by Grandpa Yoguru that the "Black Auction" was going to auction seemed to have been dropped - it became a very mysterious "bomb". Ling Ghost smiled, "If it is detonated, then it will not be only "Rubacher" who will be affected—he is interested in this, so he is going to participate." ”

"What bomb?" Levi grew confused.

"Hey...... Forget it, for Levy's sake, I'll tell you directly. Come over with your ears. ”
