It was about ten minutes after Cheruth and the others arrived at the hotel that Xingxi knocked on the door of the room that Cheruth and the others had temporarily set up in the hotel.

Opening the door and looking at Xingxi who was standing outside the door looking at her with a complicated expression, Cheruth felt as if she had traveled back in time to a few months ago, when in the desert town of Dür, the meeting between Xingxi and the other in the hotel the night before they left seemed to start like this.

"Good evening, please come in. ”

“...... Good evening. ”

Xingxi obviously thought of the meeting in the desert a few months ago, and the expression on his face softened a little, and he smiled faintly at Cheruth before entering the room, seeing Gray Wind and Nanoha in the room, he also nodded kindly.

The rooms in the small hotel are small, with a bathroom and two beds, and only a small round table for two people in the corner. The four of them simply sat on both sides of the small aisle in the middle of the two beds, of course, on the left and right side of Cheruth surrounded by the somewhat rigid Gray Wind and Nanoha, and on the other side of Xingxi was just alone.

"Well, it's been a long time since Dur Town. ”

Considering that he seems to be older than all three of them (of course, Lori Gray Wind is calculated by appearance), Xingxi took the lead in bringing up the topic.

Cheruth looked at Xingxi, who seemed to be relaxed, and keenly saw a trace of embarrassment and dodging in the eyes of the black straight girl that she hadn't had time to hide.

...... Ale, she originally thought that she was the only one with a weak heart, after all, she promised to help Nolan but never fulfilled it.

Although I don't understand what Xingxi has to dodge his reasons, the so-called negotiation is like this, one party is weak, and the other party will naturally have more confidence in his heart.

Realizing that Xingxi didn't ask him to do anything bad with them at the beginning, Chelus's mood couldn't help but relax a lot, and her expression couldn't help but relax a little.

"That. Ahem, that's right, Sister Grey Wind happened to see you on the street before, so I was thinking about whether you and Ali Ali are both here in Alrant City now. After all, I have been taken care of by you in the desert before, I think if you are all here now, if you want to watch the activities of the Elemental Festival, at least we can do some of the friendship of the landlords......"

Looking at Cheruth's crooked but big violet eyes, she always looked at her stealthily. Xingxi suddenly felt as angry and funny as he was facing the sister of the ghost elf.

To be honest, after returning to the Vincent Chamber of Commerce after buying desserts this afternoon, after secretly reading the note that the store stuffed her when she paid for it, Xingxi was really flustered. Loris National College is a residential institution, so she didn't expect that Vincent's Chamber of Commerce, who lives in Alrant City, would reveal her whereabouts to the wolf girl so quickly.

Considering that his plan on his side was calculated along with the Wolf Maiden's academy, the Four Houses, his friend Princess Sekaria, and the alternate saintess named Raphael, Xingxi couldn't help but be a little afraid to face Cheruth, worried that Cheruth would perceive some of the things in their plan and completely break with the Nolan people. There was also a fear that Chyruth would thwart them and put the rest of the Norlan in danger.

Now, after actually facing Cheruth face to face, the panic in Xingxi's heart has increased unabated, but seeing Cheruth cautiously testing herself, she is a little relieved and a little lost.

The rest of the mind is that this girl really doesn't know anything except for herself and the others appearing here in Loris, and there may be room for redemption in the matter, and what is lost is. Even though he had already told her that as Nolan's kindred, they should be helpful and trusting to each other, but now it seems that the wolf girl is still very defensive towards herself and the other clansmen.

“...... Well. Yes, we've heard that the Elemental Festival in Loris is very lively every time, so it's rare to have time to come and play with you recently. ”

Hearing Xingxi's words, Cheruth couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, but thought that if the other party didn't want to deal with her, she really couldn't find a second Nolan to know first-hand information, so Cheruth had to blink awkwardly.

"Really. Are you really here to play?"

"yes, we're just here to play. ”

Cheruth also saw that although Xingxi said this, his expression didn't hide anything at all, and he clearly made up his mind to ask her to open her mouth first to break the layer of window paper, looking like she was very unhappy that she was still so dry and unbrittle when she talked to her.

Think about it. Xingxi is actually quite good to her, no matter what happens to the rest of the Nolan clan, at least since Xingxi knew her true identity, although the attitude of persuading her to return to Nolan at the beginning was a bit extreme and there was a bit of a gap between her and Cheruth because of this matter, but in addition to this, not only did she not have any ill will towards Cheruth, but she took good care of her when she fought the demonic mercenary in the desert and when she said goodbye in Dor Town later...... In a way, it's really like a sister of the same race.。

After glaring at Xingxi for a while, Cheruth was finally defeated, and watched Xingxi succumb a little helplessly.

"Okay, I know you're not here to play...... Xingxi, if I can, I still want to know some truth, after all, I have lived in Alrant for two years, and if nothing else, I will continue to study here for four to five years in the future, I don't really want Arrant to make any big mess. ”

Xingxi looked at Cheruth who was frank and bit her lip slightly.

“...... What can you do if you know that?"

"Well, at least we can think ahead of time and take our relatives and friends to a safer place to evacuate, right? ”

After hearing the word "relatives and friends", Xingxi felt a little awkward again, and couldn't help but speak.

"Isn't that going to the princess's best friend to snitch?"

Cheruth was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to walk out of the arena holding hands with Sekaria in public after the end of the game at the time of the Water Elemental Competition, and the friendship between herself and Sekaria seemed to have spread at least in Alrant City during the Elemental Festival from that time.

It's no wonder that Xingxi looked so worried when he found him today, it turned out that not only was he worried that his friends would be hurt or implicated by the actions of his fellow Nolan clansmen this time, but Xingxi was also worried that he betrayed them to the Loris royal family because of his friendship with Sekaria.

To put it mildly, both sides have their own worries and don't know how to deal with the contradictory relationship in between, so it's not nice to say...... Each has its own chips, and how to price it all depends on the present.

“...... I'm not going to tell Leah about seeing you in Arrant. At least not yet. ”

Leah?

Xingxi thought for a second or two before realizing that Her Royal Highness Princess Lloris was named Sekaria, and Leah was probably something similar to a nickname.

Able to match the nickname of Her Royal Highness the Princess...... It seems that there is really a good friendship between Cheruth and the princess.

Xingxi's mouth felt a little bitter, but the expression on his face became even more cold.

"'Not now'...... I'm curious when you're going to snitch again?"

Cheruth shook the hands of Gray Wind and Nanoha, who had become a little nervous due to the increasing momentum of Xingxi, and smiled at Xingxi on their faces.

"It's a bit of a bad thing to say it's a snitch, but I just want to help my friend avoid the danger that is coming. ”

"Well, if we don't do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess. You're not going to reveal our information to the Loris royal family?"

"That's right. ”

Xingxi really looked up at Cherus in surprise this time, she didn't expect Cerus to answer so naturally and naturally, as if she really didn't care about other people and things in Loris except Princess Sekaria.

"Isn't it strange?" the wolf girl still had such a cute smile, "I told you Xingxi before in the desert that the only thing I value in this world is my family and friends, and for them, I can not take revenge." I can give up my identity as Nolan and just be the wolf girl around everyone, Cheruth, the other way around...... Aside from my family and my friends, I don't really care. ”

"But you may not care about that, but your friends can't," Xingxi looked at Cheruth with a puzzled expression, "if that princess wants to protect her kingdom." Then she will inevitably be our enemy. ”

"But in fact, your enemy is not the kingdom of Lorris. ”

Chelus winked at the stars, her purple jewel-like eyes filled with innocence. But inexplicably, Xingxi has a feeling of having nothing to hide.

"There is no reason for the Nolans to trouble the Kingdom of Loris, but now that you have gathered in Alrant City at this point in time, there is only one reason I can think of. And judging from the fact that you didn't do it on the way to Loris from the Solan Viewing Group, but you had to do it openly at the Elemental Sacrifice, at least in the current Arrant City, you definitely have a reliable internal response within Lorris...... Although I don't know exactly how much energy His Royal Highness has left in the country after being miserably suppressed by Leah's father, since you have chosen to cooperate with him, you must have confirmed that the other party will be effective in your actions. For example, to contain the orthodox army of the royal family of Lloris, or to simply create chaos in the city and provoke a conflict between the current king of Lloris and the Cult of Solan?"

Xingxi only felt goosebumps suddenly appear on his arm, except that their biggest guilt should be the Mana family and not Prince Naris, almost everything was said by Cheruth. If it weren't for the fact that the wolf girl talking in front of her probably didn't have the idea of being an enemy of their fellow clan, I'm afraid Xingxi herself couldn't say whether she would do it now, even if she didn't kill it. At the very least, this overly clever girl who could naturally judge so many things based on their information in Alrante City will not be able to have personal freedom in a short time.

“...... Okay, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"I just want to know when your so-called plan is going to be, and if it will affect ...... Sekaria?"

The others are not worried, as for Raphael, Chelus knows that it is impossible for her to convince these people of the Nolan tribe not to touch her as a natural alternate saintess, so now it is only necessary to take out Sekaria, who is a little sensitive in her identity and is likely to be involved in this chaos, first.

And when she asked this sentence, Xingxi's face was obviously a little stiff, and Cheruth subconsciously felt bad, and sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Xingxi sighed and spoke as if he had accepted his fate.

“...... We have made a pact with Naris that we will take the opportunity to help him take the throne, and when the time comes, we will take control of Princess Sekaria and create the illusion that she will lead the Royal Guard of Loris to attack the Solan Watch......"

...... Then Naris will stand up as a messenger of justice and use this incident to attack the current King Loris and create a rebellion, and sometimes the easier the script, the greater the impact.

Cheruth looked at Xingxi with some anger, she didn't care who was the king of Lloris, but the fact that Sekaria, a completely innocent girl who was the main victim of this conspiracy, really touched the forbidden place in her heart.

And Xingxi didn't want to look at the wolf girl calmly, and after saying this, she was not as entangled as before. The last words that Gurney said to her that day were still in her ears, this plan could not be stopped, Ah Chan, Uncle Egg, Gurney, Uncle King Kong and Uncle Vincent, everyone's lives would be in danger if she was not careful, even if she had envy and affection for this sister of the same clan who lived freely, she could not joke with other people's lives.

“...... You're just—"

"I don't want to argue with you about anything," Xingxi interrupted Cheruth with a shake of his head, "I've tried hard for you, but everyone except me thinks that Her Royal Highness is the most suitable person. For the sake of this plan, everyone on our side may die, so we must have a solid plan. You don't want anyone else to know who you are, so in their eyes, Her Royal Highness is a pawn who has nothing to do with the Nolan clan and can be sacrificed for revenge, the reason is as simple as that...... No one can make everyone and everything go their way, Cheruth, the world is not as naïve as you think. ”

Cheruth's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say, indeed, she took it for granted, she had already entered the game as a player, but she insisted on living as if nothing had happened with the other bystanders, and now, her friends were affected, and she was about to run back to accuse her teammates who had been gambling with their lives on the field to insist on the game for being immoral......

...... She didn't seem to be as qualified as she thought. (To be continued.) )
