“...... Brother won't be so emotionally affected because of your death. ”

"That's a bad statement, if I die, Emilia will be hit somewhat, and if Emilia is hit, it will also cause damage to Parker, and you should have to prevent it from happening, but you take an attitude of inaction!"

"Your head is so confused that you can't tell the difference between begging someone to save your life and threatening!"

Beatrice stamped her foot, but did not refute Pleiades' statement. Add impatience to her sigh, waving to the Pleiades while expressing something she didn't intend.

"Be fooled by you. It's just that Betty will never have anything to do with you again!"

"To be honest, I can't say yes, I will definitely come to you for help when I am in trouble. I'll sweep your calves down and grind them into powder to make soup and drink. ”

"Your position is that you were saved by someone, do you really have realization?"

"Hyping up the theory of the weak, I'm a very noisy and troublesome guy, I feel like I have, I'm sorry. ”

Pleiades bowed her head in apology, and Beatrice shook her head in annoyance.

Then, a white light glowed from the girl's palm, gently touching the Pleiades' body.

"Now that we want to destroy the spell form, the spell master will engrave the spell in the place where it comes into direct contact, and say more or less the location as a reference. ”

"Oh, okay, it's ready for a long time, don't worry. ”

Feel the temperature coming from the glowing palm, and confirm your body at the same time.

The places in the village that have been touched by the suspects have been eliminated one after another, and only the rejuvenated virgin touches her buttocks, but just as Beatrice reaches her hand to her buttocks, in addition to thinking that the old woman is the prisoner, she also plans to use sexual harassment to accuse Beatrice.

However, such a thought-

"Huh?"

The position where Beatrice's palm touched, unexpectedly did not have a technique.

The white light penetrates the skin through the palm of the girl's hand and spreads heat. An itching sensation that seems to leak out of the body from the place where it was touched.

"Black...... Haze?"

Beatrice's glowing hand grabbed the spell sigil that had turned into a black mist.

The tingling sensation disappeared, and I felt trembling at the thought of the stupid mist in my body, and then ......

"There should be no hoodoo. ”

After giving the impression of being scratched and smashed, the thing disappeared from Beatrice's hands. Beatrice shook her hand as if she had touched something dirty, noticing the Pleiades who had not spoken, snorting coldly at him.

"It's over, so you're safe. ”

After being told it was over, Pleiades realized that she had stopped breathing.

Although he laughed at his timidity, it was the spring of doubt that urged him.

"Hey, Beatrice. ”

"Be respectful, that ......"

"The place where the palm of your hand touched just now is the place where the magician touched, right?"

Pleiades interrupted her and continued to ask, and Beatrice reluctantly bowed her head.

Seeing her nod, the Pleiades locked on the identity of the prisoner who had repeatedly used spells to commit crimes.

"You can't go to the village for a trip—"

After learning the identity of the prisoner, Pleiades had to act immediately.

If it had been the original plan, it would have been to wait until tomorrow to go with Rozval or Ram and the others to find out the sorcerers lurking in the village and defeat them - but it didn't work anymore.

Chased by a rapid heartbeat, the pleiades rushed out with the doorknob in hand.

Breathing heavily, he panicked so much that he couldn't hear Beatrice's stop.

"How far do you have to be willing...... What kidding!"

Laughing at the unreasonableness of fate and the group of people who dance with it, this interest is so bad that it makes people angry.

With the scolding that he wanted, the Pleiades full of anger pulled his legs and ran wildly.

He kept running.

Running through the hallways, rushing down the stairs, rolling over and jumping off the platform, and shouting as he landed in the hallway of the entrance, he threw his head up and shouted.

"Ram! Rem, I have something to say!"

Shouting at a volume so loud that the whole room could hear it, it was Ram who heard the voice appear.

Ram seemed to be working nearby, and when she saw the shortness of breath and her red face, she narrowed her eyes as if to reproach him for his unruliness.

"What's wrong, Pleiades, so anxious and ugly......"

"I'm sorry, I'm going to go to the village next. It's useless to stop me, and even if I am stopped, I'll go, but running away without saying a word might confuse you, so I'm just telling you. ”

"What are you doing in the village...... No, before that, were you planning to sabotage Lord Rozval's advice, and tonight, the mansion is going to be handed over to us servants, don't you understand the meaning of that sentence?"

Ram stared at the Pleiades' gaze, and the sharpness increased a lot.

Ram's rule was to give priority to Rozval's intentions, and Pleiades' attitude was simply contempt for her master's orders, an act that angered her.

However, the Pleiades also have the bitterness of not being able to let go.

"Even the Q&A time is precious, so I'll just get straight to the point. There is an evil magic messenger in the village of Alam, and now that I know the identity of that guy, I must go over and solve it. ”

“...... Do you want me to agree with that childlike nonsense?"

"There's no other way to say it, and I can't help it if you don't believe me. This is a fact, you can ask Beatrezi, and ......"

"Sister—"

As he argues with Ram, who is more confused, the door behind him opens, and Rem appears behind it.

Rem looked at the two arguing in the hallway, and stood beside her sister in a natural motion.

"Sister, this is ......"

"He said he was going to take down the evil magic messenger in the village, so he was going out. ”

Ram told his sister clearly what the Pleiades had said. Pleiades thought to herself that just listening to these words would feel like gibberish, and Rem seemed to have made the same judgment.

"Sister, sister, Pleiades said rather boring jokes. ”

"Rem, Rem, the talent for clowning is superb. ”

"Ram, Rem, I usually like to laugh, but there are times when I talk seriously. ”

The pleiades overshadowed the lines of the duet chorus, making both of them close their mouths at the same time.

Immediately after the sister's reaction, Pleiades took a step forward.

"I know what I'm saying is unbelievable, and it's impossible for you to fully accept my opinion given the status quo, so I'm not going to ask you to see me go unconditionally. ”

From this side, a fork in the road that is very important for the Pleiades is formed.

Pleiades moistened her lips with her tongue and pointed at the silent two of them proposing.

"I'm going to go to the village next, and it doesn't matter if you think someone suspicious is coming, let's find out what I'm doing. It's just that Emilia can't be left alone, only one person is allowed to follow. ”

"Don't give orders without authorization...... Then again, if you obey Lord Rozval's orders, Rem and her sister won't need to pay attention to you at all......"

"Well, yes, if only Rozval's orders are obeyed in the evening, this is true, but is that all Rozval has given me orders?"

“——”

As if poked in the sore spot, Rem was speechless.

The speech just now was just a trick, but it hit the heart.

The two of them were ordered by Rozval to spy on the Pleiades, which can be imagined from the fragments of information they have experienced so far.

Reem, whose eyes were uncertain, tried to find an excuse, but before that, Ram sighed and said:

"Understood, Pleiades, agree with your arbitrary actions. ”

"Sister!?"

The sister's cheerful attitude of raising the white flag in response to the argument made Rem stunned.

However, Ram looked at his surprised sister and motioned for her to be silent with his eyes.

"However, as the Pleiades know, we can't let you go alone, and to let the Pleiades go alone would be to disobey Lord Rozval's orders. ”

"That said, so the compromise is what?"

"Although you are angry, you can only accept the proposal of Pleiades just now, and let Rem accompany you. ”

"I can't ask for it. ”

Outstretching his clenched fist, Pleiades agreed to Ram's offer.

Ram, who sighed quietly, turned his head to look at his sister who was mentioned in the conversation.

"That's it, Reem, I'm sorry for you. Ram is in charge of confirming with Mistress Beatrice, and protecting Mistress Emilia - you can see it from your side anyway. ”

"Sister, use your eyes like that—"

"Now is not the time to say that kind of thing, use it when necessary, and Rem will do the same. ”

The sister's indifferent words made Rem unable to say another word. Watching the interaction that only the two of them understand, Pleiades is cast an unfriendly look at Rem.

"Pleiades, Rem wants to ask you for details. ”

"Let's talk on the way, maybe things are going in a very bad direction. ”

If the worst of the Pleiades comes true, there will be a situation of victimization that cannot be solved by exaggeration and laughter. That's not all

In the case of the Pleiades individuals, it is a situation of victimization on a much larger scale.

Patting Ram on the shoulder in thanks, he led Rem to the entrance, who seemed unacceptable.

It takes fifteen minutes to get to the village, and in short, it takes a run to get past -

"—Pleiades, where are you going?"

On the grand staircase of the entrance hall, a silver bell sounded like a bell.

I couldn't help but turn my head, and above stood Emilia with swaying silver hair.

As if hearing the sound of the Pleiades just yelling, she gasped and looked down at the three of them.

"I heard a loud noise and came down to take a look...... What's going on?"

"Nothing happened. Well, don't worry. Ah, but I'm glad you're willing to worry about me a little. ”

In order not to worry Emilia, the Pleiades deliberately pretended to be frivolous.

The Pleiades were always unorthodox - but Emilia saw something in him.

That expression...... You're going to do dangerous things again. ”

Not only did she see through it immediately, but Emilia also showed an expression of wanting to say something.

lamented his own acting skills that he had been seen through at once, and covered his face with his palms.

"That controversy has just ended with great difficulty......

"It's useless to stop you, is it?"

"Well, that's it. It should be said that blocked words can be ...... on various occasions."

"Okay, okay, I see, I'm not going to stop you. ”

Walking down the stairs, Emilia came to the Pleiades with her hands on her waist.

Straight stared at by the blue-purple pupils, the Pleiades' gaze was inseparable from the brilliance.

Emilia's hand reached for the immobile Pleiades and touched his chest lightly.

"Even if I tell you that you can't force yourself to mess around, it must be useless. ”

"It depends...... Well, no, I don't want to do any of that. ”

It is best to walk on a smooth road that is neither good nor bad and has no problems.

But there is no way, if the only person who can change the situation is himself, then the Pleiades have to take action. Why did it become such a troublesome personality?

- The girl in front of you has a great influence. When I think about it like this, I can't help but smile bitterly.

"—May the elves bless you. ”

"What did you say?"

Emilia muttered as she touched her chest, and Emilia tilted her head in confusion, while Emilia pursed her lips and smiled at him.

"It's a send-off, and I want you to come back safely. ”

"Oh, I see. I know, Amilia-chan, at dawn when I come back safely, please hold my little bird tenderly to your chest. ”

"Alright, alright. ”

After sending away the pleiades who were asking for a hug, Emilia also looked at Rem. Rem, who was silently watching the interaction between the two, straightened her back under this gaze.

"Rem should be careful, too. And help me keep an eye on the Pleiades and don't let him mess around. ”

"Yes, Mistress Amilia, I see. ”

Rem saluted with her skirt, and Emilia nodded in satisfaction.

He tapped the floor with the tip of his shoe and warmed up with his knees bent.

"Then I'll go, Emilia-chan. ”

"Be careful on the road. ”

Emilia's voice pushed the pleiades behind her back and waved goodbye to her and sent him out.

Pushing open the doorway, under the watchful eyes of the two people left behind, Pleiades and Reem, who were walking side by side, ran to the village together.

"Can you tell me more about it......

"The sorcerer who aims to obstruct the king's choice is in the village, and I have asked Beatrice to help me solve the curse, because I have also been cursed, and if I don't get it right, the village will be destroyed. ”

"-Really?"

Gasping as she ran, Rem asked, wide-eyed.

To this, the Pleiades nodded silently in response, and ran towards the village vigorously.

If the sorcerer were a rational human being, there would be no need to imagine that kind of means.

However, if the speculation of the Pleiades is confirmed, the most tragic possibility will occur.

So the Pleiades ran desperately, and Rem beside him also galloped silently after knowing the seriousness of the matter.

The figures of the two ran to the village on the other side of the woods in the distance, cutting through the darkness of the night.

When the two arrived at the village, the village in the dark was illuminated by a fierce bonfire.

It was not right to think that such a large fire would rise at this point in time to preserve the lighting.

Different from the usual atmosphere, not only the breathing shortness of breath, but also the Rem beside him also showed an expression of perceiving the abnormality.

At this time, the young men of the village spotted the two and ran towards them.

"Aren't you two from the mansion? It's so late......"

"You're just in time, what's going on?"

Interrupting the young man's words, Rem asked in the posture of a superior person.

The young man was a little surprised by Rem's tone, but immediately raised his voice in reply.

"Yes, yes, there are actually several children in the village who are nowhere to be seen, except that they are still playing before dark...... So adults are looking for them now. ”

"Aren't the people missing, Greka, Petra, and Mild?"

The young man's slurred speech caused Pleiades to interject before Rem could ask questions.

Hearing the name of the Pleiades, the young man was dumbfounded.

"Yes, yes...... Do you know where they went?"

Receiving an affirmative answer from his inner turmoil, the Pleiades smacked his lips on the spot and kicked the ground.

He looked to the end of the village, where it led to the forest wall.
