As the word suggests, everyone, including Riveria, was momentarily surprised at what to do with the information they heard at this moment......

However, this insistence is also to be expected. Just look at the tense atmosphere on the street—

It's almost as if someone was going to get in the way of it.

"What to do? What should I do? ”

It has to be said that this is also the most effective means of prevention.

Because even most of the Knights Templar could not cope with such a large number of guards.

Midgard at this moment is really like a net laid over the heavens and the earth-

Just wait for some unqualified guy to come uninvited, and then Ozman can easily catch the turtle in the urn.

Fulfill his long-standing desire to dismantle the Templar Order.

Even recently, the direct troops he cultivated similar to the "killer organization" -

The "dark department" will also search from house to house.

Sometimes, as long as there is a hint of hesitation or resistance in answering, you will be taken away as a suspect.

However, even so, no one has ever confessed where Vane is now—

Even if you are not careful, you will be forced to bear the charge of harboring.

In this regard, Ozman can only force her to show up by constantly catching innocent people......

Because he knew that Vane would never accept this status quo.

"Because of herself, she was implicated in ordinary people who had nothing to do with it" This is something she absolutely can't accept calmly......

The only weakness is gone.

Therefore, every day at noon, he would execute a group of people who silently supported Vane, and gradually ......

More and more people are being kept awake at night, and they are afraid, afraid that they will be the next to be executed.

However, in the face of such a situation, Vane wanted to rush out directly and fight with the other party several times-

"Calm down! This won't solve any problems, but rather, it's right in the hands of the other party! I understand your feelings......"

"But even if you do, you can't jump into the pit! Now let's find a way to get that guy out of Lemuel! ”

"But!"

- Impulse doesn't solve anything, and even if Riveria doesn't mention it, Vane knows it better than anyone else.

Whether or not it is acceptable is another matter. And this is also the reason why she has been persuaded countless times, including Allen.

Because as long as you can endure it, and if you endure it long enough than the other party, you will definitely be able to usher in the opportunity to fight back!

So, at best, it's a no-win game. However, in order to gain an advantage...... Both sides are rightfully giving their best!

It's just that it's just who loses patience first.

In this regard, it is clear that Ozman is much more confident than Vaane, because in his eyes-

The other party is just a milky little hairy child.

And he has countless hostages in his hands at this moment, so he is not worried about being plotted by the other party.

"Unscrupulous means to achieve the end" is obviously his principle all along.

For this reason, even his wife, who has shared the same bed for many years, cannot recall his true nature. Not only that, but even when his wife died......

He didn't grieve about it in the slightest. Even though, the moment I witnessed that scene, there were really feelings like "sadness" welling up.

But it was almost like "someone else's business" to him. There is no regret in the slightest.

Even sometimes even he was afraid of himself who was gradually becoming "no longer human" and gradually degrading himself at this moment.

At the same time, however, he was more excited about the changes he had made!

You see, something is really "broken", right? Because that's not something that humans should have.

At the same time, in order to avoid searching......

Vane can only use his identity as a "child of the shopkeeper's relatives" to find a way to avoid searching; While fulfilling the agreement with the shopkeeper without complaint.

During this period, he also received remuneration and praise in line with this.

Even when many people heard that she had only been in the store for a month, they showed a reluctant expression.

"In the future, if I have time, I will come to visit my uncle...... Uncle's, we'll have a chance to play together again at that time! ”

"Uncle" The moment Vane said this, the shopkeeper's face seemed to be "cheap and good"......

Immediately made her hate the roots of her teeth. However, at this moment, you can't directly say it-

"Actually, I don't have anything to do with this person, do I?"

Words like this have unconsciously become forbidden sentences of "absolutely unspeakable". Therefore, Vane can only suffer a dumb loss.

But this is the case...... It was only for a month that I had to call myself like this.

"Is it here again?"

Vane looked up at the signboard, and suddenly showed a very complicated expression-

Obviously, the last time she had to finish the "children's menu" that the owner had ordered on her own initiative, it was also here.

So until now she can clearly recall -

"Stop treating me like a child!"

Immediately afterwards, it seemed to be reminded like this, but the owner's ambiguous attitude in an instant was really unpleasant!

After all, he just thought it was fun to play tricks on himself, right? That's definitely what I thought in those eyes at that time!

"Huh? You mean, you can drink even beer? ”

Unexpectedly, the moment the words fell, he was stepped on by Vane as if he was caught off guard! Suddenly the pain made him tremble violently!

“！”

In an instant, it attracted a lot of eyes like a human wall.

However, even in full view, Vane was much bolder and more relaxed this time than before.

Because it was midnight, and there were relatively few patrols in the streets than during the day, she was confident to do so.

And because of the hood, even the hairstyle has been changed by the way, and now that it's very difficult to expose it-

Because there are no familiar faces here. So it's relatively safe.

"Of course you can drink beer or something."

At the moment of saying this, Vane had already eaten three beers. And there was not the slightest sign of drunkenness.

In a few moments, she drank the entire can of beer alone. I couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper on the side who was stunned......

"Is this guy so drinkable?!"

The moment he thought this, the table was already full of empty wine bottles!

And that crisp and neat appearance also won warm applause as a matter of course.

"Is this guy really the same person as the guy last time?!"

The shopkeeper, who couldn't help but think so, began to confirm it in his own way-

However, there was nothing he could hear but the sound of grinding teeth.

However, although it was dark when he was drunk, Vane's expression did not calm down at this moment due to the continuous washing of alcohol.

This can't help but make the shopkeeper curious-

"Why, this face looks like it's so full of pain that it's so painful that it's so untold it?"

Perhaps, just using the word "pain" to describe Vane's expression at this moment would only look thin, right?

Her current appearance may be far beyond the scope of "pain".

As for what exactly is that? Maybe the onlooker will never be able to empathize, right?

Therefore, there are definitely not many people who can see her side. Even if it's Lemuel...... As an older brother, he is also rare to see.

"Wow? What a heavy wine smell! What's going on? Did you two go drinking? ”

"That's true, but the beer was ordered by this guy himself? It has nothing to do with me—"

In the end, it was logical that the shopkeeper helped her back drunk.

"No! I can walk on my own! ”

Although Vane said this all the time at that time, in fact, she couldn't even walk the simplest straight line at that time!

And that's what drunk people say most often, right? So, out of fear that she would really lie down on the street like that......

and then being recognized, such a risk consideration...... The shopkeeper still struggled to carry her back.

"Then I'll leave this guy to you, I'll have to go back to the store-"

As soon as the words fell, he naturally stretched out a hand.

"What do you mean?"

This sudden move confused Riveria in an instant!

“......”

Of course, the atmosphere became a little awkward in an instant. ——

"Sister Riveria...... Today, hehehehe...... Belch! ”

As a result, she couldn't understand the situation in front of her, and in an instant, she was made by the smell of wine in Vane's face, and she didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing?"

As a result, this complaint was naturally interrupted by a series of hiccups from one of the guys. And it's so reasonable!

"Really, a guy who can't be found. How much did you drink—"

As a result, Riveria, who didn't finish a sentence, had to endure the ...... that Vain, who was too drunk, to keep sticking to herself

I can't help but be ashamed and want to commit suicide.

And, too, in the case of someone watching-

"I want to die!"

At this moment, Riveria suddenly came to this thought, which seemed very dangerous in every sense of the word.

However, what she never expected was that Vane just did this and it wasn't enough-

She actually licked her neck like a cat in an instant!

“？！”

This really scared her!

"What the hell are you trying to do?! Or do you think I'm at your mercy when I'm drunk?! ”

At this moment, she really wanted to just let go. But he couldn't be ruthless from beginning to end......

Now Riveria is unconsciously in a state of self-abandonment - just look at her eyes.

It was obviously an expression that had thrown even the slightest shame out of the clouds!

"Well, hiccup......! Sister Riveria—"

"What's wrong with this time......?"

At this moment, Riveria's voice even gave the illusion that she was terminally ill......

Perhaps it should be said that it would be nice if that was the case! Because then there would be enough excuse to throw away the baggage.

However, this is obviously impossible.

"I forgot to pay my share—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Riveria finally understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's hand, which had not been retracted since just now.

"Would you like to give the money to the shopkeeper? I will, Hiccup—I'll pay you back! ”

“......”

So far, there is no other way for Riveria than to do what this guy says.

In the end, she had to apologize to others again and again.

"Thank you! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

And yet you see? The guy in his arms not only had no intention of introspection, but was also inexplicably excited.

What the hell is going on? Riveria, who finally threw her on the bed, also sweated as if she had burned out in an instant!

Not only physically, but mentally devastated more than imagined - but at this moment, Vane is sleeping on all fours!

In other words, her defenseless and natural expression somehow makes people feel crying and laughing when they see it.

Even if you are angry, you can't find a reason to vent......

Because, it's so cute!

In the face of such a baby face, it is really ...... I have to admit that I am willing to bow down.

"Let's take a shower—"

As she spoke, she was too narrow to ...... Basically, only one person can pass through, so they walk.

Then in the afternoon of the next day, everyone sat together as a matter of course and discussed—

Now that Lemuel's whereabouts are known, it's time to take the next step.

To be honest, however, everyone realizes that this is most likely a "please put you in the urn" trap.

But even if this were the case, the answer would not change in the slightest.

Perhaps the answer was decided before it was discussed.

At this moment, the only thing left is the question of the candidate and the specific location of the prison, and the structure-

For this reason, Riveria can no longer stay in the warehouse as comfortably as before...... It's in her lab.

Because, she is the most suitable one in this group to come up with ideas. It even includes who should go to the rescue plan this time......

And so on, all of these. Vane had to ask Rivelia.

“......”

Although this is an obligation for her, she always feels very unaccustomed to seeing so many people who have high hopes for herself in an instant.

Yes, although I don't hate this feeling, I really don't get used to this feeling of being "focused".

Once, it was that guy who did this kind of thing without exception..... What Lemuel does best.

If it were him, he would definitely be better able to deal with this kind of occasion than himself. But at this moment, he's not here—

That is, at least for now, you can't count on him.

"Professor? Are you okay? ”

Until Alan spoke out and cared. As if she had just woken up from a dream, Riveria realized how out of shape she had just been.

"Sorry, go ahead."

She said this and tried to make herself look like she wasn't "abnormal."

However, the seemingly absent-minded state just now is more than a gaffe...... It's more like nervousness.

That's right, at this moment...... For example, Riveria inevitably has a rare appearance of similar symptoms because of stress, a ubiquitous reason.

However, even if there are such symptoms, there is nothing to be done, right?

But it's hopeless...... Why is this happening?

Sure enough, because it's his best friend who is in trouble, can't he do what he wants like before?

Probably, that's pretty much it, right? Because, I can't find any other reason.

She couldn't help but think so.

However, it is precisely because of this that Riveria does not allow her to fail. Not even the slightest omission will not be allowed.

Because that guy is ...... That guy is, dear friend! So, you can't afford to fail.

If you fail, you might be involved in misfortune for everyone here now.

"That, Alan."

"Yes, waiting to be sent—"

The tone sounded as if the outcome had been anticipated. His thoughtfulness in this kind of place is really impeccable......

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? From a personal standpoint, she doesn't hate this kind of unusual insight.

"You already know I'm going to let you go?"

"Yes, as you say."

Looks like you guessed right.

"In that case, can I ask you about this?"

Of course, Alan agreed very cheerfully. He seemed to ...... It's even a little impatient. ——

Isn't that something to be excited about?

"Don't push yourself."

Although Riveria had no doubts about his strength, he still reminded him.

"I'll do what I can—"

However, according to the answer, he had no intention of listening to persuasion.

"In that case, I'll give you a drawing of the structure of that prison now. Wait—"

Unexpectedly, the moment her words fell, everyone's expressions seemed to be very shocked......

"What's wrong?"

"No, ah...... I just want to ask, can that kind of thing be reproduced just by impression?! ”

INTERVIEWER It seems that this question is also a matter of course, right? Is it taken for granted?

Well, their reaction at this moment happens to be the answer.

"Ah...... I don't think I told you yet, did I? The prison...... Did I design it? ”

This time, Riveria's words once again made everyone show an expression as if they had "seen a ghost"-

“...... Please don't always say things that scare people to death with a casual expression, okay!? ”

"Dead noise, Vane."

Sure enough, will it turn out like this?

"But, but ......!"

This guy doesn't know what he's struggling with. Forget it, let's put it first, right?

Immediately afterward, Riveria began to paint like a sketch.

Gradually, the impression that seems to have been ingrained becomes a picture that everyone can understand......
