"- So I fights with Her Majesty in a forbidden dress to distract the Emperor."

"But I didn't expect much. The man's face was spectacular."

Lila laughs with energy, but the gauze is pressed against her cheeks and the edge of her lips is cut. Walt is more distracted by his painful form.

You must have felt it. Lila stands up and puts her hand on the iron lattice that is holding Walt away.

Don't feel sorry for me.

……

"--I don't want you to feel sorry for me."

If you say so, I won't turn away anymore.

"Besides, onee-sama's eyes are getting worse....."

Walt didn't want to ask about the meaning of Lila's words. In general, the pattern is fixed at these times.

Lila raised her face as if she had changed her mood.

"If you help onee-sama, I'll give you a prescription for magic incense and its antidote."

"What about it?"

"You're also studying magic incense, right? Onee-sama is a real genius. Definitely better than killing them. Above all, he's already dead. Let him live as someone else."

Lila put her hand on her chest.

"For onee-sama's sake, I'll cover all my sins. Is that all right? It's not a bad deal."

……

"Otherwise, I won't tell you where onee-sama's research is. I'm the only one who knows. Onee-sama is so careless."

Walt was somewhat impressed by Lila, who was bringing about an impeccable negotiation.

"You love onee-sama so much."

Are you kidding me?

"No, but unfortunately, I don't have the right to decide on negotiations around here."

To be honest, Lila frowned.

"But are you from the Oberon Chamber of Commerce? Besides, I was entrusted with investigating magic incense alone. It's not just the bottom, it's got to be quite a place."

Lila thinks Walt is a member of the Oberon Chamber of Commerce as someone who can name Isaac Lombard, not Isaac Lombard.

(Hmm, so they think I work for Isaac.)

I would like to correct Claude's question because it could be crushed by the Oberon Chamber of Commerce, but what should I do? Lila's not on her side yet, so it's too early to tell her she's the Devil's pet.

"I'm just working with the Oberon Chamber of Commerce. I used to be in church. It's good for investigating magic incense."

After Lila was surprised, she quickly became convinced.

"Yes, it would certainly be reasonable to use a church person to investigate the incense. And you can't tell me who you are. It's important not to reveal the identity of these undercover agents."

It is helpful if you understand quickly.

"Then you just have to be the point of contact for the negotiations."

"Otherwise you won't help me?

"What are you talking about? It's a big premise that you're going home alive. Otherwise, neither I nor you will be finished. I'm talking about it after that. I want you to run away."

Lila said it out loud and intelligently. Yes, this negotiation cannot take place unless Walt is safe. I mean, Lila's gonna negotiate, but she's gonna help Walt.

(Ah no, I'm a little weak to be able to stand up and help myself like this....)

It would have been too natural to be discarded as a human weapon or as a shield. Sighing in his chest, Walt noticed and pulled the rope tied behind him.

Lila noticed that she was a bit late.

"Eh!? Yes, now"

Well, if you train like this...

"If you train, you can rip off the rope!?"

Because it's a human weapon, it's hard to say, and Walt laughs and cheats.

"Do you have any thin wires or pins?

Well, wait a minute.

Lila headed toward the dressing table fishes for rust and drawers and brings decorative pins to hold her hair.

"What are you doing?"

"It's an old shape, so I think I can probably do it," he said.

throws a key that opens gently onto the floor and leaves a door about half the size of a back. Lila gazed at the bars and Walt.

"Are you really just an investigator?

"No, no, this is common sense for investigators. And yours....."

Walt quickly turns behind Lila and kneels on the floor. The chains that would probably come from Lila's ankle were eating into the cobblestone floor. As Lila moves a little further away, it's a magical chain that naturally lengthens the chain. When I lifted it up and pulled it, I felt painful enough to bounce it into my palm. In a hurry, Lila crouched down and grabbed Walt's wrist and stopped.

"Don't try to pull it out. Look, you're hurt!"

The magical scratches in front of Lila disappeared. Walt smiled.

"I'm fine. I'm a bit of a human investigator."

Lila, who had her eyes rounded, was as familiar as usual.

"Are you stupid? It won't hurt because it heals!

Now it was Walt's turn to round his eyes. After that, he looks up at heaven and roars.

"Please don't tell me that I'm weak...."

"What about it?"

"No, it's fine.... this is the magic of the Church's restraint."

Lila nodded tightly.

"That's what I heard. If either I or my sister is connected to the basement, the door in this room will open. But the door won't open unless you put on both brooches.... but there must be a way to disarm it. It's not this brooch, it's the key."

Lila answered clearly to Walt who nodded ahead with her eyes.

"I once caged in this room. Neither onee-sama nor I put on a brooch and carry food and water. But while I was sleeping, I opened the door and that man came up with a servant...."

I don't suppose it didn't work out well. Lila chewed her lips with words. Calmly, Walt sees the entrance to this room, including the iron lattice lab.

"Looks like there's no keyhole."

"It's not just a key. Onee-sama seems to have been watching around....."

"Magic is not my specialty, so am I."

I wish I had a magic gun, but I didn't bring it. I'm sick and tired of Kyle's loud words telling me to stay alert at all times.

"But I know someone who can handle it without a key."

You can unlock Elephant, who specializes in magic and can borrow the magic of the Demon King, or you can break a magic gun that is going to be fun with the power of the Demon King.

The point is the power of the Demon King.

Either way, if we don't call for help, Walt's not gonna get much. And you have to leave Lila here to call for help.

"It's okay. You run."

Lila said that in a bright voice before Walt said anything.

"Go quickly. But the servants are watching me...."

Shh

There was a noise from the back of the hallway. Walt's advice silenced Lila.

Multiple footsteps approached the door, opening it for nothing. There were three men. I've never seen that face before.

Walt couldn't move a single eyebrow. Turn your gaze away. It was clear that he was insane. Holding the lamp like a martyr without blinking, spreading the oil as if it were cleaning, and throwing the lamp without saying a word.

The work was too light and the reaction was delayed.

"Ha...!? Wait a minute, hey!

When I screamed, the lamp's fire had already fallen on a hairless carpet and was beginning to burn.

Staring at the flaming door. Walt clutched his fist as he covered his back without meaning.

Walt can escape. But she can't escape this room unless her uncle and the church do something about the restraint magic.
