Alexei Gooberg stepped into the grounds of the royal palace.

The destination is a short distance from the Royal Palace.

Because suddenly the demon Lucifera was summoned by the queen Giselote, who took over.

I feel it's dangerous to meet the woman who tried to kill herself.

But if I was going to kill her, I didn't mean to bother calling her, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to explore how she would move in the future.

When I entered the detached house, I was guided by a servant to the queen's private room.

"Nice to meet you. Well, I was expecting you."

Inspired to sit on the sofa, Giselote sat on a distant chair and shook the wine.

"Once you tried to kill me, are you going to bring me in again?

That's right.

It's really light. And there was no sign of worsening.

"Things have changed. I got some interesting information from the Magus I sent."

"I thought Shiva didn't have to do it."

"Be careful with your words. It's fine because we're alone now."

I don't intend to see you outside, but Alexei answered with a shoulder slack.

"So, what's interesting?

Giselote swallowed the wine in a heartwarming manner and told her.

"The man who becomes the Black Warrior Shiva was born of a demon other than me, the Magus."

As Alexei raised her eyebrows, she continued to smile satisfactorily.

"And the demon who created Shiva transfers most of its power to Shiva, and he is right next to the person. That's..."

Giselote barks softly.

"Charlotte Zenfis, that little girl!

Alexei frowned bitterly.

Calm down.

"Oh? Am I that excited?

"Hmm? Oh, no... let's hear the evidence for a moment."

Alexei was slightly out of sight, but Giselote didn't notice.

"Reports from the Magus who fought Shiva directly. She was good at magic detection. It's not as good as Mercumeness, but if she feels that way, she's a good analyst."

Would that be true? Alexei was distracted by the noisy voice (...) in her ears, but she still had doubts that it was far from the truth.

(But, I see. Why use it?)

Alexei nodded in a calm voice.

"The reason why I transferred most of my power to the Apostle and falsified it to people can be explained by being wary of" God Killer ". The whole thing doesn't make sense."

Yeah, that's right.

"And if you defeat the demon Charlotte Zenfis, the apostle Shiva will disappear."

"Have you been getting along with that little girl lately?

You want me to assassinate her?

If you refuse, I'll kill you.

Without being frightened by the gaze of Giselote, Alexei pretended to smile.

Spend plenty of time spinning words.

"I want Shiva down, too. But you can't assassinate Charlotte."

"Why not?"

"She is under the protection of Shiva. Well, of course. Not only is Shiva herself directly involved, but Charlotte has a strong line of defense. It will be hard for you to break through that."

"You've been licked. But if I went directly to kill him, Shiva wouldn't have been silent."

Alexei calmly tells Giselote, who bites her back teeth.

I have a hand.

"Really!?"

Geiselotte, who stepped forward, turned a blind eye, and Alexei gathered his anguish.

It's like, "Do I have to say this stupid thing?"

"Collect the seven secret cards scattered throughout the world."

"... secret card?

My suspicious eyes hurt. But he reopened.

"That's right. One that strips her of her robust defenses one by one. Collect them all, destroy them, and Charlotte will be naked. Oh, of course I'm wearing clothes, so don't imagine anything weird."

"What are you talking about?"

"Anyway, collecting cards is the best solution, yeah."

"I can't believe it, but first we need to make sure it's a secret card. I wonder where it is.

"I don't even know where Charlotte is. She's looking for it right now."

"Speaking of which, you said 'scattered all over the world'. Why don't you know where the magic equipment is, the key to your own defense? Are you stupid?

"Please be careful with your words. She's the same demon, so don't insult her."

Alexei rubs one earlobe and then coughs up just one.

"Charlotte seems to have a confused memory of his transformation into a human being. So the location of the card is vague. Still, I seem to remember a little bit, and I am also involved in the investigation."

"You're going to pass that information on to me."

"Oh, I get in their way while pretending to act together and look for cards. All you have to do is collect the cards first. But I don't recommend that you go directly. Shiva is most attentive to you."

"I will stop Shiva myself. Send the Magus to collect it."

Mmm, Alexei nods and stands up.

"Shiva will see me coming here today. But I don't even know the contents of the story. Even his boundaries, stretched many times, cannot be broken. I'll make the conversation a good one."

"That's how it works. And the information is quick."

"Let's do something good. But I can't do it unless Charlotte remembers. I want you to refrain from taking bold action."

Okay, and Giselote agreed, somewhat dissatisfied.

After leaving the courtyard, Alexei returned to his room.

There was a man with a black body.

"Shiva, is that good? I don't mind telling you, but I don't want you to shout in your ear."

"I'm sorry. Well, it was quite an act that entered the hall."

The meeting with Giselote was always listening to Shiva. Naturally, the contents are out of the box for him.

"But what kind of joke is card collection?

"It's like buying time. And..."

I can't smile at the black helm, but I feel like I smiled a lot.

"You think it's funny to take away treasures from each other?

Alexei took a moment.

"Oh, surprisingly, I like you."

I spilled a smile without knowing-
