"The…… Lucia"

I was delighted to be safe with Maria for a while and opened my mouth in such a way that Her Majesty was afraid. My confident eyes are now laying low without power.

"Yes."

"I won't tell you to forgive me. I can't tell you. You can complain about me and my father. I couldn't stop my father, I didn't know how he would behave, and I told him cheaply about you. I'm the trigger for everything. I'm so sorry I made you feel scared and ripped you apart with Celestino. Is your body all right?

To that quiet voice I returned a grin. I don't resent you. It was really pathetic, and it was hard, but that's all done.

"I don't resent you. More than that... Um, His Majesty Lamberto is…………………………."

That's where I was concerned. The village of Liuñone, which was on the border, did not even come into the story of the replacement of the king of his own country. I don't even know if you are dead or simply deposed, and I ask as I cloud my words.

"... I've been defeated. After I left, I had to go to my late mother's sleeping absentee, but she hid before I could do anything."

"Really?"

I nodded to the words, even though I had a few doubts about His Majesty, who tells me without gazing.

"I wish you luck. May your soul bear fruit again in the Tenjing tree."

When I told him my condolences for the dead, Erik raised his voice, "Speaking of which,"

"That's the word, but you said it as a stereotype that someone was going to die. But you were a monster to bear the fruit of the Tenjing tree, right? I wonder what that means? The myth is that the soul of the dead returns to Heavenly Crystal Tree, so you could say that, right?

"Speaking of which, you are. I never thought about it."

"If the souls of the dead also bear fruit in that tree, were demons formerly human souls? Don't be a bit of an explorer!

"No matter how nagging you are, how are you going to study it?"

"It!"

Erik stuck his finger at Mr. Gaius.

"I was thinking of doing some research on the Tenjing tree."

"What?"

"Eh?"

To everyone's surprised voice, Erik speaks satisfactorily.

"What is it about the lack of progress in the study of the Tenjing tree until now, because there were demons? Even the academia has long wanted to do research on the magical roots of the Tenjing tree. But I'm getting tired of it because it's too dangerous. But thanks to the Virgin and Lucia, no more demons, right?

"Are you sure he's gone?

"I don't know. Since then, the Knights have investigated all over the place, and they haven't reported a single demon!

To my question, Erik nodded forcefully. Mr. Gaius with his hand on his chin affirms that.

"Yeah, you sure didn't run into him while he was traveling."

"Right!? So now's your chance! I'm already getting ready. Lucia is back safely, and in a while, a team of academics will be on their way to Killiest, including me."

Erik showed off his upcoming plans in a way that can only be described by the word excitement. I really liked the research, he got a new research subject and looks like he's having a lot of fun.

"Oh, pleasure."

"Are you a research idiot?"

"It's better to keep it as a compliment."

"I'm not complimenting you."

When interacting with Mr. Gaius as usual, Erik turned his full smile to me.

"Lucia's upcoming plans are a wedding with the captain, right? Preparing for the ceremony, we're going a long way!

"Ah! Eli, don't say that!

"Oh, you couldn't?

Maria waited for Erik to speak, but preparing for the ceremony... what do you mean?

I asked if it was Mr. Ceres' request, and I shook Mr. Ceres next door, but he shook his head like he was in a hurry and denied it.

"I'm nothing."

"Well, we went on a journey right after that. This guy was pretty, and I couldn't afford to say anything, lady."

Mr. Ceres and Mr. Gaius seem to have gotten along kind of very well and are closer in distance than they used to be. Mr. Ceres nodded bitterly, too, to Mr. Gaius, who slapped him on the shoulder.

"It's me."

As the bat looks bad, Maria raises her hand.

"Lucia, while I'm waiting, when I say what I can do for Lucia, all I can think of is get ready to be happy with Ceres. Look... Ceres, aren't you popular? Because the other women were so loud, I wanted to make Lucia's place absolute and asked Ed to keep Lucia's achievements open. Sorry, I did something on my own."

"Is that, possibly, about the play?

"Did you know??"

Apparently, it was Maria's idea that turned our story into a play.
