Kaede Uchiha stared at the rising sun in the distance and fell silent.

This time he had come here to learn magic, and the girl had clearly seen her purpose and made a contract for it.

I don't know, I can't understand. Uchiha Kaede didn't know why Beatrice was making that pointless request.

Even life and nothing could set off his inner turmoil, but he trembled because of Beatrice's lonely face.

Sympathy? Uchiha Kaede didn't know if it was sympathetic, and maybe he wasn't qualified to say that himself. I just know that when I look at Beatrice's pupils at that time, the disgust in my heart hits my whole body.

That nasty face! Nasty pupils! Nasty look! Nasty attitude! Nasty tone! All, all always, all has been with me! That's a disgusted face that comes to mind every time you look in the mirror!

But why did he have such a strange emotion for that girl? Maybe I just don't want to see it anymore! Right...... It must be like this! Just because I don't want to see it!

Doubts filled Uchiha Kaede's body, but at this time, his rich experience couldn't help him, and he forced himself to stop thinking about it, and made excuses for his inexplicable behavior by deceiving himself.

Sighing and dwelling on it, he remembered the contract Beatrice had first proposed.

Beatrice's request...... Kill her when she's out of control! In order to meet this requirement, it is necessary to have a strong enough person, but why would she think that a person who has just met can do it?

Uchiha Kaede knew very little about the magic of this world, and he didn't know what Beatrice had seen in him, but he already had some guesses in his heart.

Maybe it has something to do with that space. The Forbidden Library is located in a different space from this world. As its owner, Beatrice has absolute control over it, and I am afraid that when she arrives there, Beatrice may have confirmed that she has the ability to destroy space through that space.

Or maybe it was because Beatrice was absorbing Mana in her body. Although he didn't know how much mana he had, he had been absorbed for ten minutes without any discomfort in his body, which was enough to see that the amount absorbed by Beatrice was only a drop in the bucket.

But it only took a few seconds for Beatrice to extract the Subaru mana! Maybe it's because his right eye is interfering with the speed at which Beatrice is pumping! And Beatrice used this to determine the power of her eyes.

And then there's what Beatrice's 'not a door' is all about.

Kaede Uchiha summed up the experience of this encounter with the great elf of Beatrice, and sighed in his heart the power she possessed.

However, despite her power, she is also easily assassinated, and mages have been crispy since ancient times, and the Uchiha Kaede has plenty of time to activate the kaleidoscope when she chants spells.

Maybe she could have done the trick away from chanting and using some low-level spells, but those spells didn't pose much of a threat to people like Uchiha Kaede.

Uchiha Kaede sighed again and retracted his thoughts, looking at the spot where Subaru had just fallen into the flower bed. Now there is a gurgling sound from time to time......

Uchiha Kaede twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and apologized to Subaru again, even though he would never hear this apology......

"Hmm...... What to do? Drag him out or drag him out? Well, forget it, leave it alone, just wait for the two maids to come."

Uchiha Kaede thought about it in his heart for a while, and came to the conclusion that it would be better to leave it there......

Time passed slowly, and Uchiha Kaede sat quietly on the ground and waited for about five minutes.

Just as he muttered in his heart how Subaru hadn't drowned yet, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

The sound of a silver bell rang Uchiha Kaede's eardrums: "Kaede, yes, have you seen Barus?" Just now he suddenly disappeared from the room! ”

When I looked back, I found a beautiful girl, and Uchiha Kaede enjoyed the comfort of her eardrums while admiring Emilia who was even more attractive even if she was anxious.

"Well, do you see? Of course I saw it, and I was still looking at him......"

"Kaede, you just kept looking at him? What do you mean? There's nothing but the flower beds here! Emilia looked around after hearing Uchiha Kaede's words, but found Subaru except for the flower beds and the decorations in the courtyard.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear something coming from behind Uchiha Kaede, and driven by curiosity, she walked there.

- Purr!

- Gollum!

- Purr!

- Gollum!

The sound of an animal drinking water, and the sound of a human breathing came intermittently from the flower bed.

From the position of Uchiha Kaede, the consternation that appeared on Emilia's side face was clearly captured, probably because she didn't expect this kind of development......

In his heart, he mourned for the future of Subaru, but his face did not change in the slightest, as if he had not noticed Emilia's astonishment, and said:

"Ah, he's been in there since just now! I was just wondering if he was trying to swim or something! ”

Emilia: "Kaede, how can you do this! Why don't you pull him out quickly! There's ...... in there."

"It's the flower fertilizer that Rem applied yesterday! Mimelia-sama! In the place where Uchiha Kaede and Emilia didn't pay attention just now, a girl with short blue hair came to their side and took Emilia's words in a calm tone.

Uchiha Kaede: "You don't know how to apply fertilizer every day, do you?" ”

Rem looked at Uchiha Kaede squarely, and after making a maid salute, he said, "Guest, only the flower shrubs in this area will be applied every day, and as long as it is a normal person, they will not jump into it!" ”

Kaede Uchiha twitched. Really! The maid of this house is the most annoying, the red-haired one speaks super unkindly, and the blue-haired one goes around his mouth and says something full of malice, which must teach them, Rohival's pot!

After Emilia saw that Uchiha Kaede and Rem began to chat, the anxiety that had been relieved by finding Subaru reappeared, and said:

"Now isn't the time for small talk, is it? After all, Barrus's injuries have just been healed by Beatrice, so he must act immediately! ”

Uchiha Kaede twitched the corner of his mouth, he was also drunk, the kung fu you said was enough to pull him out of it hundreds of times, did you?

Just as Emilia was about to use the wind-based micro-elves she had contracted with her to unleash wind magic to save Subaru from it, a message came over:

"What are you doing? Did you find the guest? ”

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came, but they saw the red-haired maid who had come over because they saw the three of them together-Ram!

And at this time, the grunting sound that still came from time to time was ignored again......
