Jonah shook his head, gently pushed Ryuji's hand away, and whispered, "Thank you...... But how do you do that?"

"A little trick not worth mentioning. Ryuji smiled and turned back to her seat.

Everyone in the Pitchfork Squad is staring at them, but Jonah has made up his mind to bury the demons in his own memory.

"Uh...... Fellows, for some reason, I can't explain this prophecy to you, but it did happen, and the very next day, April 3rd, it was so real, more real than the gopher meat on the plate, more real than the blue sky outside the window, more real than the snoring of Toba at night, more real than the most real thing you can think of. So, again, please have to trust me, it's important. The next one is the future of Cherry Crossing. That one...... Eli, excuse me?"

"On 29 October, when the flames fell and the river was polluted, Ayala said to her partner: 'I will wait elsewhere'. The Rose Knight read.

This is the third prophecy, the prophecy of Cherry Crossing. The future of Cherry Crossing. The river that may have been 'defiled' must be the 'other side' of the holy river that has been guarded by the Colombo people on the north bank for a long time, and the prophecy of October 29 occurs 23 days after the second prophecy, that is, 23 days after April 3 in the continental calendar, the deep blue moon of Queavello, the 26th of this month. If memory serves, the Colombo Spring Hunt Festival usually takes place at the end of April...... "Jonah looked pleading at Elliott.

"Yes, usually between April 25 and May 3, according to the Colombo calendar. Elliott affirmed.

"See? That's it, all the clues point to one place! I'm almost certain that on the day of this year's Colombo Spring Hunting Festival, the day the Cherry Ferry Spring Ferry set sail, a great calamity is about to befall this place, and I'm going to be forced to leave you in pursuit of the prophecy of the next nameless book.

Believe me, fellow partners, it's going to happen. I don't know if we can change the prophecy or what kind of catastrophe the 'Coming Flame' will be, but I hope that when that day comes, we will be prepared to defy fate fearlessly, diligently, and without regrets, and not let one catastrophe after another befall the world according to Segres's arrangement...... That's what I want to say...... Thank you......" Jonah said these words, feeling like he had finally exhausted all his strength, and sat down on the straw-paved stone floor, gasping for exhaustion.

The room was quiet for a few minutes. The people stared and then wandered, unconsciously fiddling with the food on the plate, and Jekong's eyes were still frozen in the air, as if he also felt the strange atmosphere, and there was an inquiring look on his pale face.

When Elliott finally spoke, Jonah let out a sigh of relief.

"It's April 16th, isn't it?" said the Rose Knight, looking at Toba, and after receiving an affirmative reply, "then nine days from now, the day of the third prophecy will take place, and we don't have much time to prepare." ――I don't know what to prepare or why. ”

"Ellie, do you believe me?" Jonah looked up at Elliot in surprise.

"At this stage of life, our entire spirit and ** belong to Miss Long Ji, and guarding her will is our only duty in the world until the silver rose is sent.

We believe in you, not only because you are our partner, but also because Miss Long Ji believes in you, unconditionally, for some reason. The elves among us see this trust through emotional fluctuations. The Rose Knight replied politely.

“...... You?" Jonah went to see Ryuki again. The Oriental woman sat there with her knees crossed, smiling noncommittally at him, a few strands of black hair covering her eyes.

"Of course I believe you. Toba said with a look of reverence. "I don't understand what it means, though. ”

"I understand, stupid uncle, my brother is saying that by April 26th, there will be a lot of fights to fight! Fights with very strong enemies!" Sibi said with a look of disdain, jumping up and poking his little finger on the forehead of the roommate who was sitting there.

"That's better! I believe in you!" said Tobal.

With excitement and emotion, Jonah looked at the silent sixth man in room A51, always standing quietly like a shadow in the corner, unobtrusive, but always reliable on the battlefield, the Garan warrior from the ancient Buddha kingdom that had fallen in the far south.

Jeekor's flaming red hair, rust-colored coat, and the famous knife "Buddha's tooth" on his back hinted at danger at every turn, but unlike when he first arrived, Jonah felt that he had a special bond with the dangerous people who had irregular attacks of encephalopathy, and perhaps it was Sibby's story that made him empathize, and since that night, he has not felt the oppression of Jekong, and even felt a sympathetic intimacy.

Jekon did not look at him. The "Buddha's tooth" jumped gently in the scabbard, making a "clanging" sound of gold and iron. A positive answer. It must be an affirmative answer.

Jonah didn't know how to express how he felt at the moment. All in all, he had only been in Cherry Ferry for ten days, but room A51 had fully accepted him, and he had also fully accepted five close companions who were once strangers.

When a secret can finally be told to others and become a secret that is not, this sense of relief almost makes Jonah's body light enough to fly. With tears in the corners of his eyes (trying not to be discovered), he bowed slowly and deeply.

"Thank you. You are my first, my only, and forever friends in this life. He said it completely from the heart.

Elliott bent over his left chest in return, and the unicorn bent his knees in an elegant dressage. Long Ji nodded slightly. Sibi hid behind Toba with some embarrassment, and the head of the room was helpless to kowtow. Jekon remained silent.

"All right, Lord Jonah. Now let's talk about the details, and maybe we'll be able to find more clues in the prophecy. The Rose Knight said loudly. Friends gathered around and formed a small circle in the center of the room.

"Of course, of course, Eli. Jonah stole the corner of his eye, "Where to start?"

"Let's start with the pronouns. We believe that 'Ayala' is a synonym for the prophecy bearer, your Excellency. So, 'Ayala said to his companions, 'I will wait elsewhere', and here the companions refer to us, the members of the Pitchforks, or is it something else, for example, your body (a companion of the soul), your parents (a companion of ethics), your mentor (a companion of the profession), or your magical powers (a companion of survival)?" Elliott's finger ran over the scribbled handwriting.

"Obviously not the last one, I don't have any magical powers to speak of. Jonah laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Maybe it's saying that you're going to cut off your hands and feet or something, brother. You say to your left foot, 'I will wait elsewhere.'" And then at some point, someone can magically pick up your missing left foot, hehe. Sibi grinned and raised his index finger to guess, being knocked on the back of the head by Ryuhime, and shrunk his neck aggrievedly.

"I think that's what we're talking about. Are we going to die? I hope to die vigorously. Toba said thoughtfully.

As the crowd was about to denounce him, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the sunlight cast a figure into room A51.

The six of them looked back at the uninvited guest in unison, a strong man with black skin, a big beard, and a pair of steel scepters on his back, the man grinned, showing his shiny teeth: "Yo, Brother Toba, are you busy?"

"Not busy, not busy. Uh-no...... What, it's a bit busy. The head of the room took off his small octagonal hat and greeted the visitors.

"Fresh and hot news: Daddy announced that the ticket information will be released tomorrow at 10 a.m. The date for the hunt is set, man, are you ready to have a big fight?" The guy Jonah had ever met, the leader of the strongest squad in Room V2, the "Crumbs", the mercenary Gwadar laughed and threw a bomb.

"Oh ga!" said Toba, who slammed his head against the ceiling of the stone house, and the whole house trembled and fell stone chips, and the head of the room bent down to pat the dirt on his bald head, and bowed embarrassedly to the crowd.

"Yo, don't bother! See you tomorrow!" the mercenary waved his hand, closed the door with his backhand, and left.

People looked at each other. "It's really coming. Ryuhime concluded.
