"So let's get down to business"

Put the glass on the table and raise your face.

Albert doesn't break his spare smile unchanged.

"Viscount Glendreck, you remember Miguel Lachmann, don't you?

Albert snorts when he hears the name.

"Of course I did. You took care of me then."

"No, thank you. I just want you to tell me what happened after your men took me."

"What are you going to do when you hear that?"

Try twisting your neck to tease.

After a few seconds of ideas, the word, OK, came back.

"He sinned. Not only did they illegally take money from the students, but if it had been public, the school's trust would have been lost."

"So you turned it off?

"Ha ha, no. Excuse me. People don't disappear, Rosie. That would be the best thing you know."

A sharp glance shoots through me.

And, Albert took something out of his pocket and put it on the table.

"Come on, let's see if we can learn well every day. Now, Leisha, try to answer something."

That's like a 1 cm square yellow chip.

When I let Risha, who was gazing at me, flaunt her shoulders, she nodded back at Albert.

"It's a magic guide for tracking. It keeps releasing a little bit of magic and tells the recipient where it is."

"Hmm, I study a lot. Seems like I've just been passing an integration exam. So, you know what this is? This is why this magic guide was affixed to the lining of the Lachmann teaching robe as if it were hidden."

……

I can tell by the atmosphere.

Even without putting it to words, Risha must have returned some reaction.

You just said it wasn't me, it wasn't Celia, it was about to come after Risha.

"Reesha doesn't know what the intention is because it's what I asked for. I needed to untie Miguel once to withdraw my confession, so I asked him to plant it for insurance in case he got away."

He said, "No other reason?

"Yes, of course."

... again.

I should have asked you a question, but at some point we are on the questionable side.

Keep a few handbills hidden and hang up when you can direct the story in a convenient direction - close to me as a way to do it.

But I haven't seen it sweet enough to get in without a hand back.

"Viscount Glendreck, do you know the most alarming moment a person can have in a place of battle?

Knock, and throat, Albert.

I just said I was waiting for that word, and I took it out of my pocket again.

"It was then that I mistakenly thought I had read through the opponent's measures and was convinced of my victory. For example, when I found the magic guide for tracking, did something happen?

A chipped demon conductor played with his fingers rolls on the table.

"What was hidden in the robe was deliberately meant to make you find it. He convinced us to win and invited us to be caught off guard, trying to divert our attention from the fate he hid behind his collar. Yuri told me, do you call this a misdirection?

"Yes, and you got caught brilliantly"

A little shadow on the look of spare time.

For a moment, I flaunt my shoulder to Albert, who leaked a sneak laugh.

"You said earlier that people don't disappear, I think you're absolutely right"

"... what does that mean?

"Don't you see? It means you don't need a magic trick to track people down."

Well, Albert's face distorts, as I admired him.

"... your grandfather?

You must have noticed a change in the atmosphere.

Yuri called Albert in an anxious voice.

"What is it, Viscount Glendreck? My dear granddaughter is frightened, isn't she?

Ugh, and after a long sigh, Albert leaned back on the couch and put his arms together.

I laugh inside. [M]

I finally pulled him down to the same stage.

"... apparently, Yuri wasn't the only one who was frightened"

"What?"

Pay your forehead gently with your index finger.

"I'll tell you something good, Albert. Arming is an action that occurs in an unconscious attempt to protect the heart and dovetail, a weakness of the human body. It's one of those defensive reactions when people have anxiety and fear. I mean, you're afraid of something right now."

"Am I afraid? What the hell are you doing?"

"For example, you might have revealed the location of the person you've been erasing."

The expression disappears from Albert's face.

The room, the smile, the intimidation, everything disappeared. Completely faceless.

I feel my whole body's hair grow upside down in the creepy tranquility.

"Yuri, go home already today. Take Melcruke."

"What, so, but-"

"Merkluk, it's an order. Put Yuri under house arrest in the dorm now, don't put him on the table for three days. You don't even have to go to class. If you want to resist, you can make it a little rough."

I'm not yelling at you, I'm not yelling at you.

Just pale clerically giving instructions.

I understood how effective the effect was, the moment I saw the blue face lucru at first sight.

"... let's go, Master Yuri"

Lucru reaches for Yuri with a slightly trembling voice.

The two are witnesses in times of need.

So that when we fail to achieve our purpose, they may disclose the backdrop of the matter.

So it's not good to be gone now.

I'm sure Albert's expecting that, but at that rate, I don't know if Lucru's gonna make it where he's taking action now.

"No, I'm not leaving"

Someone clearly said so the moment I tried to open my mouth.

Yuri, if I'm not mistaken.

"Merkluk"

Albert's heartless voice.

That's nothing more than saying "do it" in the dark.

Lucru didn't move, he was just biting his lips off.

"If you can't, fine. Just let the others do it."

"Yes, what, I..."

"I am not going to give the next to those who disobey orders at once. I don't need you anymore."

As Albert slapped his hand, multiple footsteps approached us from nowhere.

"Huh!"

When I suppress Reesha, who almost popped out reflexively, Yuri rises off the couch at much the same time.

Yuri embraced Lucru from the front, who was stretching his trembling hand to the magic conductor.

……

And when I gently pulled through the glowing bracelet with Lucru's wrist, I put it through my left hand.

Eventually he turns back to Albert, and Yuri opens her mouth with a mixed look of anger and sadness.

"... your grandfather. Until today, I have turned away from the many bad things your grandfather has done. I thought I'd put more effort into losing your father and mother early."

"Yuri, you......"

"I've really always wanted to say it. That's okay. 'Cause I'm okay. But I was weak."

Yuri says in a squeezing voice.

"So I say goodbye to weak me today. Whatever the reason, you can't put your precious friend in danger."

"Yuri, what a troubled kid. You said you enjoyed the peace of mind that had been built on so many sacrifices, but that you couldn't offer only your own friends? You don't think the bugs are too good?

"... yes, the bugs are too good. That's why we're going to put on a bullet. Grandfather."

Pull Lucru's hand and Yuri walks up behind our sitting couch.

The side of it looked more adult than any she'd ever seen.

"Again, I name Ulysia Lehne Glendreck. And let us charge you with the curse of Glendrek for your previous sins."
