(Troublesome course...... Tired...... ）

――――――――――――

"Free?"

As the old man narrated, all the teenagers who were imprisoned here involuntarily raised their heads and looked at the clear blue sky.

The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.

This is the freedom that their hearts desire.

Just as Arthur thought, after the events of the Tower of Paradise, the desire for freedom in the hearts of the teenagers would reach a very high level, high enough to cause miracles.

"If you don't experience despair, how can you hope for ......"

Laughing softly, Arthur stood up, pulled up Elusa on the side, and looked at the few hopeful teenagers around him: "We will be free, definitely." ”

"Well, definitely!"

First to come to his senses, Gerald looked at Arthur and nodded heavily.

The rest time was almost over, and they would once again devote themselves to hard labor, but now the eyes of the teenagers were filled with more longing, a desire for freedom.

Walking in the forefront, Arthur looked at Rob behind him, the emaciated body of the other party, and really doubted that it would be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Old man, do you want my help?"

Watching Old Man Rob lift a rock, Arthur asked.

The old man laughed, easily threw the heavy stone in his hand, and looked at Arthur: "My bones are not old enough to even do this little thing. ”

"Huh?" Arthur raised an eyebrow.

It's really an old guy who doesn't want to admit defeat.

However, the sorcerer's physical strength and life are linked to mana, and until the mana is exhausted, even if he looks emaciated, he will be fine.

Knowing this, Yue Arthur no longer insisted, nodded at the old man, then turned his head and began to help the two little Loli beside him.

As soon as the young man's hand stretched out, he was stopped by a small arm.

The girl with long crimson hair looked up, a pair of large bright eyes shining with determination.

Arthur ...... I can do it! ”

I can do it!

Saying this firmly, the girl stood in front of Arthur, looking at him without blinking.

The movement in the young man's hand stopped, and he looked at the two little Lori.

"Don't take us too flat, Brother Arthur~"

Miliana said to Arthur with a grin, and then, as if to demonstrate, the girl struggled to lift a stone the size of a quarter of their bodies.

Although it looked laborious, the girl still winked at Arthur proudly: "Although it is indeed a happy thing to have a big brother who can be relied on, we ...... It's not a good-for-nothing vase. ”

“……”

Arthur was silent, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and his gaze shifted from Miliana's body to Elusa.

The girl met his gaze and nodded firmly.

"One or two, they all seem to be full of confidence."

Muttering, Arthur looked at the two girls, grinned, took two steps back, and held his chin: "Then I won't help...... Well, don't cry when the time comes. ”

"Who, who will cry nose!" Elusa's face turned red.

Miliana grinned and grimaced at Arthur.

Looking at the distant figures of the two girls, Arthur shrugged his shoulders, stopped, and looked after the two loli in the distance.

After a moment, Arthur's ears moved slightly, and his gaze looked to the side.

"It's really rare that you will take the initiative to come to me, just now I wondered why those fox fake tiger things didn't come to trouble."

"......" the other party was silent.

The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched, a little strange if there was something wrong with this little girl.

"I said, you took the initiative to come to me, don't you still say anything?"

"You like to hear me talk to myself so much?"

"It's a silly feeling."

"Hey ......"

"What an unlovely little girl."

Covering his head helplessly, Arthur looked at the guards around him who were ignoring him, and thought to himself that this was not bad, just enough to rest.

"It's not a little girl!" Suddenly, a somewhat cold, childish accent came from Arthur's side.

The boy subconsciously turned his head, but saw nothing.

"Also, why do you know I'm a girl!"

The complaint turned into a question, and Arthur seemed to be able to imagine the girl hiding in the shadows frowning and puzzled.

"Hmph~" A smile tugged at the corner of Arthur's mouth and teased: "I like to play peek-a-boo, not a little girl or something." ”

As long as you speak, as long as you can communicate, you can naturally plant the seeds of affection, whether it is love, friendship or hatred or whatever, as long as you can make an impression on the other person, it is enough for Arthur.

"You like peek-a-boo!"

Arthur's teasing statement made the other party snort dissatisfied.

There was silence for a moment, as if observing someone, and after a while, the voice turned and appeared on the other side of Arthur: "Why are you lurking here?" ”

"Why are you lurking here?"

"Do you think I'm going to tell you?"

"Then so do I."

“…… You guy. ”

Arthur seemed to be able to sense the displeasure of the little girl who was hiding in the shadows, but he was right, how could he possibly tell the other party about the target.

Even if he could, he said it to attack the future queen, do you think the girl would believe it?

I'm afraid I only feel like I'm playing tricks on her even more.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Arthur looked up, opened his mouth, and said a word that made the other party's body tremble-

"Actually, I know your mother."

"Impossible!"

Almost instantaneously vetoed, and the little girl's breathing seemed to become a little shorter.

The smile on Arthur's face grew.

If you don't give the other party a little impactful information, how can you leave a deep impression in the other party's heart.

"She's a great magician."

“……”

"Able to seal that horrible monster."

"Shut up, who the hell are you!"

Unable to be silent any longer, the scene in front of him distorted, and a lori with long black hair stood in front of Arthur.

The little head was raised, and he looked at Arthur in front of him, who had inherited the beautiful face from his mother, but at this moment it was covered with a layer of darkness.

"I'm just a slave who was captured by the Dark Arts Order to build the Tower of Paradise." Arthur raised his hand and gestured to the girl for his prison uniform.

"Do you think I'll believe that!"

"Maybe you'll believe it."

"How is that possible!"

"Well, don't be angry, good, please eat candy." I don't know where to take out a candy, Arthur is like a strange man, and invites the little Lori in front of him.

"Soul light, don't treat me like a child."

"But you're a child."

"Soul !!"

Originally, the girl who had a good impression of Arthur because of the past few days of getting along, now looked at each other, but the more she looked at it, the more annoyed she became.

It's a nasty guy.

Having made such a judgment in her heart, the girl glared at Arthur fiercely: "Again, I don't have a mother. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Arthur to answer, this uncute little Lori turned around and disappeared in front of his eyes.

"Hmmm......"

What about the little girl who was taken advantage of, poor little Lori...... In the end, do I want to save you, or do I use you more evilly~ evilly?

He couldn't choose, and sure enough, he wasn't fit to be a conspirator, even if he could come up with a better plot than any other conspirator.

"Even if it's exploited, at least, it can give you a good ending......"

At least it's much better than your original ending.

Turning, the young man smiled, and walked in the direction where Elusa and Miliana were.

At present, the main target is still the queen, as for Ulutia, the foreshadowing planted in this little girl will not be revealed until a long time later......

Today is the ninth day of coming to the Tower of Paradise.

Everything, as expected, went well.
