In the castle on the ground, Mephistopheles handed the red wine glass in her hand to Charlotte who came out of the dark room.

"How's it going? ”

Charlotte took the glass and clinked glasses with Mephistopheles.

"Not bad. ”

I took a sip of red wine, and the mellow aroma overshadowed the smell of blood in my nose.

"Except for a little bit of a surprise, everything was calculated. ”

"Yes. ”

Mephistopheles glanced at Charlotte and replied nonchalantly.

"Did it go as planned?"

Putting down the wine glass in her hand, Charlotte looked at the vast ocean again.

"Go according to plan, your demons will intervene on the way, fighting the prisoners, and my knight will finish by killing all the demons, and forge the 'truth' that the demons have planned and carried out. ”

In the sea breeze, Charlotte gently brushed her hair through the blown-up with her fingers.

"But until then, let's let the prisoners have a good time, after all, I have spent money, and of course I have to be careful about the goods. ”

Mephistopheles pursed her lips absentmindedly.

"If you can trust me more, I can also provide you with the help of slaying the demons, and it would be safer to let me do it than to take those risks and use my own manpower. ”

For Mephistopheles' proposal, Charlotte simply closed her eyes and felt the sun and the salty sea breeze.

"It's supposed to be dawn on the Khiva side now, and I have a premonition that it will be interesting to meet the man who has hindered my plans in the Far North. ”

As for what Mephistopheles said, Charlotte said she heard only the noise of the wind.

"They still ignored me. ”

Across countless lofty mountains, far away on the other side of the human nation, the Far North country of Khiva. Today is also a day of peace.

In the morning, when the sun gives its first rays. Lucia poked her head out of the soft fur and crawled out of bed in a daze. Wobbly get dressed, and ...... Crawling back to the bed in a daze, he swayed to change the quilt.

It is also commonly known as the return to the cage, but there is an awkward step in the middle of Miss Lucia's return to the cage.

Lucia's sleep lasted nearly two hours, and Miss Lucia, who barely remembered that she had an appointment this morning, reluctantly climbed out of bed again.

"Albert Einstein. ”

Rubbing her tarsiers with her fingers, Lucia yawned cutely, calling out to her faithful Deacon Magnum, and then waited for Deacon Magnum to complete the preparations for herself.

One minute.

Einstein didn't show up, and Lucia yawned again.

Two minutes.

Einstein did not appear. Lucia stretched and almost collapsed on the bed to continue sleeping.

Three minutes.

Einstein did not appear.

It was so abnormal that Lucia came to her senses.

"Albert Einstein?"

Just after Lucia's second call, there was a knock on the door, but Lucia knew that it was not Einstein, because Einstein's knock was always in the same pattern in the sound and manner of the knock.

The door opened, and Jessica walked in through it.

"Is something wrong? Lucia. ”

Lucia always treats girls very favorably, and it can be seen from the title that if a man is not treated by Lucia's name.

See Jessica. Lucia tilted her head in confusion.

"Where's Einstein?"

"This, this ....... ”

Hearing this, Jessica tilted her head in a panic, and only turned back to answer after a moment.

"Lucia has been ...... for the past few days Staying in the room at a leisurely pace, you may not know that Mr. Einstein has been out every day before dawn for the last few days. It seems that there is something important to deal with. ”

Originally, Jessica was going to use 'lazily nestled in the room' to describe Lucia, and she had been worried about whether Lucia would suffocate in the room for the past few days.

In this different world, where there is no entertainment and no social security, there has not yet been a productive group called 'home'.

"Before dawn?"

Lucia's head tilted from one side to the other. She couldn't remember anything else that Einstein needed to deal with personally, but it was Einstein. The capable and reliable Einstein was not as unreliable as Jonathan, and Lucia was quite relieved.

Jessica's awkward silence lasted for a moment. She hurried to find a new topic.

"Speaking of which, is there something about Lucia getting up so early?"

Half to change the subject, half to Jessica genuinely curious, she hadn't seen Lucia get up so early.

"Yes. ”

Without Einstein's assistance, Lucia casually stretched out and jumped out of bed.

"I made an appointment to meet Sophia, just this morning. ”

-- It's not morning. Silently adding in her mind, Jessica's attention was quickly drawn to something else.

"Sophia, is it Princess Sophia?"

No, now that King Lilburne has passed away, he can already be called 'Queen Sophia', and the difference is just the official coronation ceremony.

Lucia nodded, looking in the direction Jessica had just turned her head.

"I had other things to do, so Jonathan went to Einstein and told him to wait here and have something important to discuss when I came back. ”

Lucia's words caused Jessica to panic again, and she fumbled around in a panic, whispering surprise on her lips.

"How, how did Lulu Lulu get stuffed?!"

Seeing that there was no room for recovery, Jonathan walked in from outside the door with an embarrassed smile, and helped Jessica by the way, while the girl who couldn't see fell into her panic.

"Aha, ahaha, what a coincidence, Miss. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jonathan couldn't wait to put his head in the crack of the door to correct it.

After making such a stupid mistake, Jonathan gave up the nonsense and nodded directly.

"No problem, I will definitely get Einstein back, and the eldest lady can go out with confidence." ”

The affirmative answer was replaced by Lucia's skeptical look.

"Is it really okay? Have you learned to read the road signs to recognize the way? Don't get lost by accident? You must know that the city has changed a bit a bit in the past two days. ”

Lucia is really not at ease, Jonathan is so unreliable, if he doesn't pay attention, he will trip over the gravel and fall to his death on the road, after all, human beings are so weak, they can't die before they fall to the ground.

Of course, Jonathan didn't dare to say this, he just thought about it in his heart, and he still had to answer honestly.

"Of course, no problem, I have completed the revision and drawing of the map of the royal capital in the past two days. ”

Before Lucia could react, Jessica jumped up happily.

"It's amazing! It's worthy of Mr. Rogue to do such a powerful thing in such a short time!"

Jonathan, who was digging his own grave, burst into tears as he was moved to tears by his teammate's divine assistance, and at the same time put the map in his schedule.

――I wonder if I can do it in three days without eating or sleeping every day? Before he even left the house, Jonathan was already heartbroken about how difficult his future would be.

But that's not all, Jonathan knows there are more difficult trials that await him on the road ahead. (To be continued.) )
