The Economics of Prophecy

Twelve Stories: First Half Reunion

Back from the royal palace, I saw a mountain of paperwork in my room. Carefully sorted, with notes poking at each and every one of them necessary. The care and temper of the secretary Meer, who prepared this, are conveyed together.

Scarer than the mountains of blood in a way......

When I somehow had a bunch that was at the top, I left the room trying not to look at the rest. I went in front of the upstairs window where I could look down the front door. Trying to move the table in front of the window, the maid I was watching flies in to help me.

I'm afraid if you care so much about just living here, you'll reject it. With that said, I don't feel like I'm paying rent or anything but is it good......

Snorting at the inefficient act of alternating documents with the outside, Multitask, I saw a carriage approaching the gate. I threw a bunch of paperwork at the table and headed for the stairs.

I flew the last step of the stairs and stood in front of the front door. Reminds me of a fight with Alfina before I left and frightens me. Instead of the ruins, he stretched his legs to Mount Flying Dragon in the back and got caught up in a battle with unknown demon worms. Reminds me of Alfina's sad face that stopped me heading to a dangerous place.

No, it was definitely necessary.... even if it's more and more a theory of results.

I shook my head and shook Alfina's tears away. I mean, doesn't she deserve to blame me?

In the first place, what do you think I took the risk for? Isn't it Alfina who doesn't know about this one?

When I thought so, the sound of a wheel treading cobblestones stopped in front of the front door.

I shake my head again. Not if you're thinking about it. Be cool. I have no choice about the past. We need to convince Alfina to stay away from the crystal in the future alone.

And to do that, even if you're somewhat uncomfortable, this one walks up to you. Even if I'm not convinced, I'll start by relieving my anger. By and large, a man is not designed to beat a girl's tears. Not to mention my daughter, who is dearer than anyone else.

Fast tempo footsteps approach the door. "Dear Alfina, Don't be rushed like that," I heard Claudia. The door opened shortly afterwards.

Blue and silver hair twinkled in the outer light of Akane color. Big eyes find me and open up even more. Uplifted cheeks. A small mouth breathes.

Look at me. My eyes are moist. All my thoughts just blew up. My foot steps forward on its own.

"Oh, come on."

"Ricardo!

He jumped at me like Alfina had been started. Take Alfina to your chest. I feel strongly about her very existence.

The scent of flowers tickles the nasal cavity. It's the usual understated perfume. But did it smell so good? I feel a lot of strength in my torso's spinning arm, and my temperature comes from my pressed body.

"Good. I was really, really worried."

Alfina looks up to me. I'm not that close. I manage to hold on to my arm, which is about to attract trembling shoulders. Because if you don't, your eyes are going to hug you in the morning.

"Are you hurt or something anywhere? Maybe I lost a little weight..."

Alfina looks up at me up close and moves the flat of her hand around her torso.

"Dear Alfina, I understand you'll be delighted to see me again. Here…"

I heard a modest Luitzer word from behind. Really, Zhu gave it to Alfina's cheek. She hurries to let go of her body.

I should have been relieved. But in fact I regretted the softness and warmth of leaving. Bad, it's been a long time since I've had a brilliant swing at skinship.

Yes, I'm back now, Master Alfina.

It was the opposite of the sloppy greeting just now, but I managed to say so. This one sticks better.

"Yes, welcome home. There are so many things I have to tell you about prophecy."

Alfina changed her expression just one step away. I nodded.

We split up once. I returned the documents I left upstairs to my room and headed to Alfina's private room. I find it a little annoying why the two natural beings are indoors, with Luiza and Claudia.

Because the contents about the disaster are content, are you over-sensitive to information management... No, I can trust these two in the first place, and I need follow-ups for my purpose of convincing Alfina.

A soba bun is on the plate that I only told him the idea before I left. But I keep my eyes on Alfina in the room. Whether it's a dress, a cleric's coat, and even a room outfit that's supposed to be plain, each shows another charm...... What are you talking about now?

Even if the beauty is bored in three days, it has proven to be an incomplete theory that will collapse if it opens up slightly.

"Ricardo. I was full of my head earlier. Besides, I... spoke terribly to Ricardo before I left. I'm sorry."

"Terrible. I'm the one who's worried..."

Alfina told me to be silent. I bow my head in a panic, too. A great relief filled my heart. Oh, my God, you look like an idiot to have been in shape. All right, now it's time to properly persuade him to calm down. I change my mind.

"Quickly, but I'd like to talk to you about information about the disaster you brought back from the Empire. Because it involves Alfina."

"Yes."

I'll start talking about work. Alfina also nodded with a serious face.

"First of all, this is a new hypothesis solved in the Empire's investigation…"

Having obtained from the bottom of the lake a record of the activity of the Devil's Vessel spanning 2,000 years, eventually knowing the existence of a powerful insect-type Warcraft that seems to have the ability to fly. I explain the hypothesis of a new disaster.

Three people who were just surprised at first, but their blood draws attention to the mass outbreak of demonic worms and, above all, the explanation that it lasts longer.

"Is it difficult to counter even that new guide..." "I can't believe the catastrophe that lasts for decades..."

Claudia grips her fist all the time, and Luitzer becomes the face of the sinking pain itself. Alfina also blued her white magnetic cheeks.

"Again, Ricardo did such a dangerous thing..."

"Oh, uh, that's..."

Alfina said sadly. While confused by the deviant reaction, my heart comes to Alfina's feelings, who cares more about me than anything else.... No, that's not the case now. We have to talk calmly.

"Mm-hmm. So I heard at the Royal Palace meeting that the nail marks I sent the other day..."

"Yes. Exactly the same thing as the prophecy I saw. I checked again yesterday."

Alfina reminded me of my mission. The focus returns firmly to disaster preparedness. However, I accidentally frowned at the words even yesterday.

"............... Then the demon bug corresponding to the purple magic caused the disaster, and it seems almost certain that it will continue. But how can you be in the diocese..., that you can play a role against disaster, not crystals..."

Still, even though I didn't think it was the right time, my mouth moved. Alfina turned into a troubled face.

"Dear Alfina,"

"I asked everyone in the Central Garden to help me narrow down where I saw it in prophecy. Ladies and gentlemen, I've been busy gathering a lot of information. Thanks to you, I was able to finish the pilgrimage quickly."

Using the knowledge of merchants travelling through the city, we can identify locations from different sides than the aristocratic class. In aristocracy and merchants there are different sights to see in the same place, and above all there are different numbers. Necessary... yeah.

"And in the meantime, I noticed something."

How many sheets of paper did Alfina put out? Some assumptions have been written about the location of the disaster, possibly the attack of the demonic worm, and the characteristics of Seems like I've been thinking about writing it myself many times to see the handwriting. One of them......

"Focus on high places..."

My eyes stopped on one hypothesis surrounded by circles.

"Yes, the places I've seen seem to stand out at the beginning of the cathedral and around the tall trees that mark the streets…"

"I see..."

I thought about it. What I recall is the remains of that city, the beams of a burnt spire.... and the ability to put together that demon worm's electricity. then......

"It is possible that an attack was launched from a flying demon worm in a lightning strike form...... Better report to the Imperial Lordship Craig as soon as possible..."

Definitely important information. Possibility of adults having a different means of ranged attack than larvae. Whether we take that into account or not is a huge difference.

Alfina's face is all over my words. And for some reason, I was here. Certainly important information, no doubt. But I don't want to trade it for Alfina's safety. We have to eliminate that kind of risk.

She's on my side... just mine... okay.
