As I was thriving on Charlotte's story, I heard the door closing from the ground floor.

"Didn't your father come home?

"Maybe so."

If Charlotte's father is here, you should say hello.

So Laura and Anna go down to the first floor together.

Huck was still obsessed with Margaret, but somehow regretted it, so Laura decided to hold him up and take him.

"Father. Welcome home."

"You. Happy to be home soon."

"Oh, I'm home. Was Charlotte there too... and... a friend of Charlotte's? Welcome. Nice to meet you."

When I went to the living room, a gentleman dressed in a tall suit and silk hat sat on the couch.

He would be in his mid-thirties.

Looks like he's Charlotte's father.

He has a neat face and a very long mouth beard stretched from left to right.

The tip of that beard is curly and round and very interesting.

But Charlotte's father, who produced such an interesting form of beard, looked very serious.

"I'm Laura Edmonds. This is the Divine Beast Huck. I'm Mr. Charlotte's friend."

"Pi."

"I'm Anna Arnett. Sorry to bother you."

"Oh, you guys. Charlotte tells me everything. Thank you for keeping me company with my daughter. I am Arthur Gazzard, Charlotte's father. Greetings."

He said that with a grin, but somewhere dark and sunken.

"You. Did something happen in the mine?

Christina sits next to her husband worried.

"... oh. This is outrageous. Honestly, I don't know how to explain it. But...... maybe I'll just have to abandon that mine already. Even though it is a mine entrusted to me by Her Majesty the Queen... no, more than that, I need to rescue the workers first..."

That's how Arthur got his head.

I don't know the details, but in the mines I'm digging at the Gazzard family, something terrible seems to have happened. Is it a wreck or something?

"Father. Don't hold your head, and explain it to us too. If it's life-threatening, you can't take it back if you don't move as fast as you can! If the Gazzard family can't do anything about it alone, we should also use the help of His Majesty and the Great Sage."

"... right. Charlotte is right. Not when you care about shame or the outside world. You know that my Gazard family, because of their ancestral achievements, has allowed us to mine one of the coal mines owned by the royal family?

"Yes, of course."

"I was digging that coal mine... and I dug a hell of a lot of stuff!

"A hell of a thing? What the hell is that...?

"I don't know the details either. It's a strange object, shaped like a square table combined with a futon. That appeared one after the other from behind the pit. Whoever is taken in by that object will have a tranced face... and will never be able to get out again. I was about to be attacked by that object, too, but I managed to escape. Abandon the workers...... I couldn't help a single one!

Arthur bites his lips off and slaps the table in front of him.

but that was the only moment that exploded my emotions, and I took a quick deep breath. Looks calm on the surface.

"... I'm going to report to Her Majesty the Queen. Will Charlotte ask the Great Sage to come to the Royal Palace? I guess you're close to the Great Sage, huh?

"Yes. The dean is kind, so I'm sure he'll consult you."

"Helpful. Anna to Laura. I'm sorry you're here, but I'm sorry."

That's what Arthur said and left the mansion.

"Ya, it must have been a big deal. I don't know what it is, but it's hard!

"It's okay, Mother. We and the Dean will solve any pinch!

"Sharo...... very much to ask for! You must have been splendid before you knew it!

"Oh ho ho ho. I won't be a child forever. Come on, Mr. Laura, Mr. Anna, Huck. I'm going to wake the dean!

Charlotte, praised by her mother and in a good mood, ran out laughing high.

Laura went after it wondering what would happen to her homework for the winter break.

"Is the dean still a dormant room?

"Maybe, I think so"

"It's a raid for now."

"Pi."

That's why I even came to the entrance to the dormant room.

"Mr. Laura. Take care. The entrance junction is back!

"Oh, my God! But it's a juncture I've broken before. No problem!

Laura instantly disarms the surgical ceremony that was put on the door.

Break into the passage that was behind it.

Magic pushes me back to push the intruder, but I push on with my strength and reach the hypnotic chamber.

"Fuck you! I'm happy to announce your troubles today!

"Munya...... I hope you're well...... how come you've been in trouble since the first day of your winter break? Laura, didn't you say you were going to calm down or something because you were ten?

I can hear the Great Sage from inside the futon.

It's a big deal, but it wasn't Laura who caused the trouble.

I have trouble being complained about.

"I am calm. What is unsettling is the mine of the Gazzard family!

"Oh. We're talking about a different pattern. What do you mean?"

The Great Sage finally rose to his knees, and while he was acquitting, he was going to listen seriously to Laura.

"Eh. They dug something weird in a coal mine run by the Gazzard family. An object like combining a square table with a futon? is taking people in? Mr. Charlotte's father said something like that. I don't know sappy about what you're talking about, but it only conveyed signs that seemed serious! So he wants the dean to come to the palace."

"An object like combining a square table with a futon? Hmmm... like I've heard somewhere, like I don't..."

"Ooh. The boulder is Dean Doctor. You know what I mean. Reliable!"

"No. Like, like, no, so?

"Still, it's better than nothing at all. Let's go to the royal palace."

"I'm still sleepy... because Laura's a rough servant"

The Great Sage rubbed his eyes and stretched his back wide before crawling out of bed.

And we all fly together, to the royal palace.

You don't run as fast as you fly, you really fly. It is very convenient because you do not have to follow the road.
