I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

"What do you say? Have you found any threads that lead to mermaid tears?"

As soon as we entered the office, Master Leonidas asked.

The tone is polite, but its eyes are sharp.

That's all I'm worried about if we're doing well.

It conveys the strength of her thoughts on the mermaid's tears.

“It's about that. We succeeded in making contact with mermaids.”

Without succumbing to Leonidas-sama's pressure, Liza-san cut it out.

Streamstone is a brilliant attitude that does not hide anything from the Holy Sword.

At once, Leonidas' eyes glowed dangerously.

"That's fantastic!! What if you already got the mermaid's tears!?"

"No. Actually, I heard it from the mermaid..."

When she coughed, her sister put aside a beat.

Leonidas waisted to hear the rest of the conversation.

... it might be too much of a shock.

I broke in between my sister and Leonidas.

Master Leonidas, please calm down anyway.

Yes?

"... the mermaid's tears had no power of rejuvenation."

When my sister told me so, Leonidas became stiff as if it was petrified.

It seems that he was unable to swallow the situation immediately and his thoughts stopped.

While she was stuck, Mr. Taylor kept asking.

"Can you trust what the mermaid says?"

"I didn't feel like I was lying."

“If that's not true, I think it's a pretty big act.”

All of us who were there nodded.

It's dangerous to judge people by their appearance, but I don't think Saman lied to me about her cheeky vibe.

In the first place, the legend that mermaid's tears had a rejuvenating effect was itself a frivolous one.

"... I see. So, what happened to the place mentioned in the document?"

Eventually, Master Leonidas asked in a refreshed tone.

His face, caught in the blood, was as creepy as a witch or something.

However, it is much calmer than I expected.

Leonidas himself didn't believe in legends that much, did he?

For that reason, when I asked you before, I had a feeling that it was uncomfortable.

It seems that there is a demon sealed in that place.

Devil?

"Yes, a great demon named Beelzebubfo who once ruled Lake Lamia."

When I said that, Leonidas's eyes changed.

She sits down deep in her chair and turns her face downwards, crushing it.

Then, a few minutes later, he told us in a burning voice.

"...... I have no choice but to give up on the mermaid's tears."

"... is that okay?"

In addition to the honest response, I unexpectedly heard it back.

I always thought it was something that was sticky with more noise.

Then, Master Leonidas said with a smile that was somewhat encompassing.

“Isn't that a good thing, or a bad thing?”

"Hah, I hope you understand..."

"Then, let me give you the dagger as well." Thank you for your work. "

Leonidas took out the silver key from his chest.

After receiving it, Mr. Taylor raises his hand and leads us.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come this way." We will guide you to the vault. "

We're leaving the office after Mr. Taylor.

I should have finished my work and got what I wanted...

I felt like I was beating out of something.

I wonder if everyone is going to fall in love. It's somehow a sinking atmosphere.

"I wonder if this has worked...?"

That thing was a little confusing, wasn't it?

"Hmm, well, that's fine." You can also get a dagger. "

Rowga, who seems to have given up half the time in response to Kurta and Nino's crush.

Then, Sister also spoke out with her arms in tune with him.

"In the world, it's often better not to get too involved." I honestly didn't like that Lord Leonidas. It doesn't suit my personality. "

Ah, well, I suppose you are.

"Why do I have to wear a mask every time I see you?"

Having said that, my sister took off her mask.

And throw it right at me.

"Wow, don't throw it all of a sudden!"

It's that easy to receive, isn't it?

That's true.

"...... I'm in the vault now"

Taylor told him to stop the conversation.

Was it originally an armory or something?

A black iron door jumped into my eyes, as if blocking a corridor.

Eventually, when Mr. Taylor inserted the key, there was a loud noise.

There aren't many people coming and going, it seems to be a little rusty.

"... ohhh!"

When the door opened, we were overwhelmed by the sight inside.

Exactly, it is a mountain of gold and silver treasures.

Valuable treasures are everywhere, and I hesitate to step in.

The ruins of the Vermeer family rule the city of art, and their fortunes are far from complete.

"The dagger... this way, please."

After looking around the vault, Mr. Taylor took a small wooden box.

It is quite seasonal and the brass fittings are rusty.

At first glance, it was just an ancient box, but I could feel the powerful magic power behind it.

Can I open it?

"Yes, of course."

So I slowly and slowly opened the lid.

Instantly, the silver glow flooded the surroundings ─ ─.
