Then it's time for a pleasant meal.

The entire table was almost filled with plates of dishes.

Inside the basket are several pieces of freshly baked fluffy white bread with a hint of steam, and the plate is served with thick, gravy red meat, sweet corn and a lot of creamy mashed potatoes as a side dish.

Salads made with fresh vegetables maintain a tender crispness that can range from the middle of a drizzled sauce to a refreshing citrus aroma.

The menu here is made from some of the most exclusive restaurants, and the ingredients are magically kept fresh. Of course, the chefs are all in charge of the cooking.

At this time, Sylvie brought a meal.

"Is this ......," Louis asked, looking at Sylvie.

"This, this is ...... It is made with desiccated coconut meat and sauerkraut...... Do ...... Bisque. ”

"Well, that's really exciting. It seems that the dishes cooked by Silvi are delicious. Louie tasted it, and it didn't taste bad, and for a picky eater like him, it was up to par.

Louis said this with a smile on her face, and Sylvie blushed and lowered her head, and she grabbed the apron part of the maid's suit with both hands shyly.

"You, you...... Overpraise...... Finish. "Sylvie's cuisine isn't a lavish meal, it's just some simple home-cooked food.

"Come out with me later, I haven't walked the city all over yet."

Sylvi was able to move normally in the mansion and in front of Louis, but she was still resistant to the outside world.

"No, no...... Now, Mistress Louie, let's find someone else to accompany you......" A look of consternation appeared on Sylvie's face, and she shook her head timidly.

After Louis offered to invite her out with her, Sylvie's face turned pale for a moment, and she began to break out in a cold sweat.

She had used the mansion as an absolute barrier to protect herself, to suppress her fears.

In other words, she had mapped out a line and told herself that this was two different worlds from the outside world—the world that had hurt her—so that she could act normally.

Louis can also understand Silvie's reaction, after all, her mental condition is still in an unstable period, and the outside world is still too cruel after all.

Perhaps, it will take more time for Sylvi to get used to it.

After enjoying the meal, Louis called Sylvie to the study.

Of course, the furnishings in the study are mainly books, including maps, magic books, etc., in addition to a workbench and a set of red leather sofas.

The red leather sofa seems to be made of the animal skin of the red carved tiger, and it is extremely comfortable and peaceful to sit on.

Louis sat on the red leather sofa and looked at Sylvie from the front.

Silvie seemed embarrassed and blushed and lowered her head, but Louis suddenly stood up and put his hands on her cheeks and lifted her face up.

"Sylvie, I can relate to your fears. But rest assured, I'll protect you. Whatever danger looms near you, I will shatter them one by one to protect you from harm. ”

“……”

Silvie didn't say anything, her eyes fixed on Louie's eyeballs, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Silvie, you can't get rid of those unbearable memories if you keep your heart closed." Louis walked to the window and said to Sylvie.

"Sylvie, please take a step. If you're scared, it's okay to close your eyes. ”

“……”

Having said that, Sylvie was still hesitating.

Louis opened his hand, and then said, "Sylvie, will you trust me?" ”

A silence hung over the study, and time passed slowly.

Until finally, Silvi's eyes moistened slightly, and her cherry lips that had become ruddy were lightly opened, and the front teeth that were as white as pearls were exposed.

"You, you say that...... How could I say no...... ......"

"The outside world is very vast, not only Kansas, a city that will only make you reminisce about pain, nor is it limited to the land of the nuclear continent, don't you want to peek into the unknown mysteries?"

Louis said, turning his face to look out the window. "I'm a quiet person, and I don't stay in one place forever.

I have my own ambitions, and of course, I will need a faithful and diligent person like you.

I can say unceremoniously that I am very strong here, and there are probably not many people who can match me. With me, you don't have to worry about safety. ”

"This ...... Is it so strong? ”

Silvi thought Louie was joking to comfort herself, and smiled.

Louie saw her smile and just smiled without answering.

Louis stepped forward again, knowing that Sylvie was peeking at his side frequently, but he didn't say anything.

He was well aware that Sylvie had subtle feelings for him that could not be called faint love.

It's just that Louis thinks that her feelings, which are gratitude for saving herself from hell, are more inclined to a kind of brainwashing, and similar to the dependence on reliable characters.

Of course, Sylvie may also be confusing family-like affection with love between men and women.

Even if Sylvi was genuinely in love with Louie, he didn't think he could reciprocate her love.

After all, from the moment he became a demon, he turned off the switch of humanity.

———————————————

As the strongest team of adventurers in the Thunder Alliance Empire, the Seven Knights, the news of their death soon spread throughout the country.

As the captain of the Seven Heroes - Jon's friend, Justin rode a fast horse to Kansas after learning the bad news.

The bodies of the seven members of the Seven Knights were handled by the Bounty Alliance, and they were buried in the Timari Cemetery with great honor and honor because of their prestige and career achievements.

The Timari Cemetery is a cemetery dedicated to those who have achieved great deeds, and ordinary people are not eligible to be buried here. This is the realm of the Magic Bard, not under the jurisdiction of the nobility or the Empire.

Justin stood in front of Jon's tombstone, staring blankly at the name on the tombstone, and couldn't help but think back to the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Jon until now.

In Justin's impression, Jon is a good guy who sticks a knife in his friend's ribs everywhere, but unfortunately this good man doesn't live long, and this shouldn't be his end.

"Don't worry, Jon, I'll make the Six Warriors who killed you pay the price, it's a promise I made as your best friend." Justin made a vow in front of the tombstone of Jon and the others.
