Reincarnation Monarch

Episode One Thousand Four Hundred Thirteen, Topolo.

"I mean, through me, Gaius, you think you're gonna be an associate of yours?

Ione responded clearly to Chester asking with a puzzling look.

"Lombard Schneider, to be exact."

Shester exhaled loudly once and sorted out his feelings.

"... because that's us?

Ione just replied.

"That's right. You and Lombardo Schneider are important to Gaius Schneider, so Ars and Ortez, who are close to you, are caught up in it."

"But... it's not like we and Ars and Ortez have known each other for years?

"Yeah, I see you do. But it's not the length of a relationship. It's important to you whether they're important or not."

"Do you know what's left of it?

In response to Shester's question, Ione replied naturally.

"Yeah, you'll see. Because what people think is heavier than you think..."

When Ione put it that way, it became somewhat of a sad expression of worry.

Shester, although he noticed the look on his face, was now untouched about it.

"I see. If so, does that mean that topolo is the same?

"I guess."

"Probably? Is that topolo one of Lord Elle's men? That Elle is important to you, Gaius. Isn't that why that topolo was attacked, too?

Then Ione shrugged her shoulder.

"A subordinate is just what Topolo himself says, isn't he? I don't know if it's true."

"Hmm... so what happened to that topolo?

Then Ione spread her hands.

"It's gone."

"Does that mean, like you and Elle, Gaius?

"I guess."

"Probably again... you mean because you didn't confirm that either?

"Yes, it is."

"Hmm... so you guys rescued Ars, Ortes, and escaped the underground waterway?

"Yes, you're right."

"You couldn't save Topolo, could you?

Ione shrugged her shoulder unexpectedly to a question by Shester from Yagi Hayashi.

"You can't help it." I will be the decoy and attract! You guys run away with Sassa! 'Cause I managed to jump into the enemy's pocket on my own. "

"Hmm, to the decoy..."

When Shester told him to whine, Ione spoke differently.

"You just have to run away, so I'm glad I didn't have to be a decoy. I jumped in in a hurry."

That's what Ione said with a frightened face.
