After Chloe's wave-length date, a week went by.
I asked Chloe, but since that incident, I don't see any word from Prince Wilfred.
Al's letter said Prince Wilfred was locked in the room, and Chloe, who heard about it, "may have said too much after all".
She said she wanted to apologize, but Prince Wilfred wouldn't come out of the room, and I waited a while and forgive him if he could talk better after he settled down. Chloe was convinced of that, and now she lives her normal life, even as she cares about Prince Wilfred.
Speaking of which, what a third summons to try in the castle.
When I told Al what I had heard from the Spirit of Chloe that there was something he didn't like about the Spirit and apparently that was the cause he couldn't summon, he said, "I knew it. Then first, why don't you change the place? How about a castle first? I was told."
Al, too, was wondering if the reason I couldn't summon was because there was something nearby that the Spirit didn't like. I nodded at his suggestion, even though I thought that was al.
Maybe the summons hall of my mansion won't be called to the Spirit's liking.
Walk down the castle hallway with Al, who picked me up on purpose. I held Noel with both hands.
Recently, Noel has become terribly reluctant to leave me, and he's been ringing to take me away when he leaves today.
Though I brought him here because Al told me he didn't mind, Noel looked restless and stuck with me.
I might as well not have brought him in on this.
The subpoena room in the castle seems to be a separate building, a short distance away. Prince Wilfred walked in from the other side of the hallway as he was headed to his destination with Al's guidance.
"Ah, Your Highness Wilfred..."
Calling his name by accident, Al also said it as a surprise.
"He's finally out."
Prince Wilfred also stops to see if he notices us. I came right over here like that's how I got back on my mind. I thought I might be able to escape or be avoided, but that doesn't seem to happen.
Prince Wilfred stopped for some reason when he came right near us and said, "Hmm?," he tilted his neck.
His gaze is on Noel I hold.
I was wondering if something was wrong with Noel as well, and he looked stunned and came all the way before me.
"Oh, hey... that guy...!
That's how I point to Noel. Al said to Prince Wilfred uncomfortably.
"Will, if you think the cage is finally over, what do you mean, the first voice is that? There will be greetings and everything else first."
"Brother, please shut up! Hey...... seriously? Where did you find him?!?"
"Where..."
Something's wrong with Prince Wilfred. Whatever it is, look Al in the face.
I opened my mouth remembering when I picked up Noel.
"Uh, I did pick up that I was in the... alley in town. Was there something wrong with this girl?
"In the alley!? Seriously..."
"? Yes"
I nod even though I don't think I understand the intent of the question.
When Prince Wilfred shook his body with a mess, he said with a face like he saw something incredible.
"You know what? I'd like to ask. Why would Noel, the great wizard of hidden characters, be kept by a villain warrant? Is this the game where Miss Villain Warrant is the star?
"Huh?"
"What?"
About the same time me and Al question Prince Wilfred's words.
'Cause I don't know what Prince Wilfred meant by what he said.
What did he say now?
Noel the Great Wizard of Hidden Characters, though that's what it sounded like.
Unexpectedly stares at Noel holding it. Noel didn't look like he cared, and he had a big stretch.
Question Prince Wilfred, as Al panicked.
"Will, what did you say now? It sounded like Noel the Great Wizard to me."
Prince Wilfred replied with a Kyotong face.
"That's why I said it. The cat bought the wrath of the Spirit King. The figure of the great wizard Noel cursed. You know, Noel Route doesn't even exist until it's all clicked. How could you possibly find me? That's a villain's warrant, too."
I got my neck tilted, but I'm more incredible.
I don't think it's normal that Noel, who is now in my arms, is the famous great wizard Noel.
"No, Noel is my pretty cat...... such a separate thing from the Great Wizard Noel......!
"What, you, are you naming Noel Noel? What the hell is that? That's funny."
As he stared at Prince Wilfred, who laughed with a mess, Al said as he held his temple.
"Will. Let me hear more about it.... I'll use this empty room to get inside. Lili, Lili, come here, too."
"Yes..."
Check inside the room that was right around the corner and Al invites me and Prince Wilfred. Prince Wilfred looked slightly troublesome, but when he saw Al's expression he realized he couldn't get away with it, he went inside like he'd given up.
The room Al said was empty was like a room, with a large fireplace made of marble and two brown sofas for one person to surround it, and a long sofa. Underneath it lays a carpet with a red tone and lights on both sides of the fireplace. The chest behind the couch was decorated with fresh flowers, indicating that this room was always available.
Make sure everyone enters the room and Al locks the door. That's how I didn't even sit on the couch and started talking.
"Will, tell me about earlier. It means that Noel, Lili's cat, is Noel the Great Wizard... is what you said true?
"What the hell do I get for lying? Yes, the cat is Noel the Great Wizard. It's supposed to only come out on a hidden route after I've seen everyone's ending, so I'm here for some reason."
"The Great Wizard Noel..."
Hard to believe to Russia, I just stared at Noel, who I could barely hold. Al interrogates Prince Wilfred.
"Evidence?
"I don't care if they call it evidence. I don't remember much either because I've only cleared the hidden route once. Hmm, Noel was, for sure, quite a magical geek, sacrificing a pile of spirits to do magical research. The Spirit King, who found out about it, furiously hung the curse of becoming a frivolous cat that no one would look to. The spirits don't like Noel, and in Noel Route, it starts when Chloe, the heroine who picked Noel up, can't make a deal with the spirits."
"... eh"
There was a voice like a plunder. When I look at Al next door, he also has a big eye for surprises.
"Will, now you're saying," I'm in trouble for not being able to make a deal with the Spirit, "right?
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm talking about who wants to make a deal with the person you're with Noel... and maybe, Liz Beltran, you can't make a spiritual deal? Seriously?"
Stared with a curious eye, I nodded honestly.
At this time, I will leave aside what the game is about. Because what matters to me is that he didn't say anything, but he realized the fact that I couldn't make a deal with the Spirit.
"... yes. Well... I've tried the contract twice before, but it failed."
"Oh, that's decided to fail. I felt Noel's sign. There's no way the spirits are coming out."
I was told lightly what caused my inability to make a spiritual covenant, and I lost my word.
Ask Prince Wilfred as Al confirms.
"Will, your story means that as long as Noel is around, Lili can't make a deal with the Spirit, right?
"Hmm? Yeah, you do"
"How do I get a contract?
I guess Al is half-hearted, too. But when we are specifically told so far, we cannot ignore the straw or the desire to do so.
If, though, what Prince Wilfred is saying is true, will I remain incapable of a spiritual covenant all this time? Or if we let Noel go, we'll be able to make a contract?
No, it wasn't decided that Noel was the cause. And it wasn't decided that Noel was the Great Wizard Noel himself. Noel is my pretty bred cat. Nothing more or less.
Staring at Prince Wilfred with complicated feelings. Prince Wilfred told us with a Kyotong face.
"I don't know what to do... I wish Noel wasn't here. So yeah...... why don't you take Noel to the summons hall, clothes that don't smell like Noel and just in case you take a bath before you do the summons? Uh, and maybe we should change the location of the summons. As long as the smell disappears, the spirits usually come, so I think we can make a deal without a problem."
"... with such a simple thing?
Al told me that he was stunned by the lightly returned words.
"Lili, because of this, let's try it. We were just about to perform a ritual of summons, and even if what Will said is a lie, we have no disadvantage whatsoever. I think it's worth a try."
"I didn't say I was lying!
Prince Wilfred complained as he swelled a lot, but Al ignored it a lot.
"Lili, I'll get a woman, so take a bath. Get dressed here, too. After that, let's do the Spirit Summoning as planned. If it's a castle summons area, Noel's never been in there, and he shouldn't smell it. Will's terms must have been met."
"... Yes"
"Will, please keep Noel."
"Hey, hey! Brother!"
Take Noel from me and leave him with Prince Wilfred. Received reflexively, Prince Wilfred said, "Whoa!" and looked disgusted.
"He doesn't want to take care of Noel just a woman! Say, stay!
It wasn't just Prince Wilfred who didn't like it, it was Noel, who bit Prince Wilfred in the arm as much as he wanted. Prince Wilfred skews his face into unexpected pain.
Al saggily ignored Prince Wilfred and grinned at me.
Lili, let's go.
"Brother!
"Shut up. I'll be right back, you wait in this room for a while."
"... I'm so rough with my brother"
"This one's been scattered and bothered. You don't mind this much, do you?
Prince Wilfred, smiled at by Al, makes his mouth cramp. That's how I nodded at the high speed.
"Wow, okay..."
"Yeah. I'm happy to have a good brother."
And prompt me to go outside the room. From inside the room I heard a voice full of fear, "When my brother looked at me like that, I could never turn against him..." but I decided not to hear him.
