Rain falling at night gradually increases in intensity.
There were rain grains on the windows, and the wind seemed to come out a little. A creepy shadow is shaking as the black forest makes noises with the zawazawa.
"I'm not scared."
"Oh, yeah, yeah."
Plum and Hemperoza were both sitting in front of the fireplace. They go up from the bath and look at each other's hair in their sleeping clothes.
Despite early summer, temperatures drop much during rainy days and nights. The fireplace flames, which never cease to bake bread or heat, are still shaking small.
There are several corny museum slimes next to them that loosen up in front of the fireplace looking comfortable.
"Why don't you get some sleep? Tomorrow will be the school building."
I sat on the couch next to the living room dining room, speaking to both of them. On my lap is Larna riding and reading a picture book.
"So, Greg, do you want to sleep with me?"
"So that's an interesting way to use it?
"It's an invitation."
I laugh bitterly at Pram's "bye". He's a cute one looking grown up but still young.
"It's dark out there... and it's rattled."
"What are you gonna do because you're scared of the darkness in the wizard's ass..."
"I don't like it dark anyway."
I'd say you're an asshole, but Hemperoza can't use her powers without me. Heteremontal wizard eggs. Well, it's not bad to be relied upon, but I'm also a little worried about what we're going to do next with that.
"On nights like these, you should sleep in Grey's big futon."
"If you're going to tell a wise man, you can't help it...!
As Pram says while cleverly tying his dark hair, Hemperoza makes a difficult face and arms up.
"Totally. I don't mind sleeping with you, because you guys have been getting bigger lately... Sleeping area (bed) is small..."
Somehow, I'm glad I'm getting better meaty and puffy, but Plum's sleeping minister is bad and gets kicked in the middle of the night, and Hemperoza is hot and bitter because he snaps.
"Gu Gu, if you're going to sleep, we'll have a good day together."
"So is Larna..."
Rana, who was reading the school building picture books on my lap, also looks completely sleepy. My eyes are trodden.
When the four of us go to bed, my neck will be again... it's my decision to go to sleep.
"Happiness. What a harem..."
"Manu, don't laugh weird"
Manuferno, who was sewing in the living room dining room, is laughing at Nihela.
I was with Manu last night, but he's going to sleep over here tonight. Nevertheless, on a stormy night like this, it's not bad to lean in and sleep.
and Riola, who was making tomorrow's bread in the kitchen there, came as she removed the apron.
"Plant, done -"
"I can't. You didn't? Are you okay?"
Manuferno cares about Riola and offers her tea. Riola who happily receives and speaks.
"I'm fine. Even if I look like this, I have strength."
I know that.
"By the way, Riola, after your study of the school building, isn't it hard to make bread? You can buy bread..."
It has white flour on the top of Riola's nose. If Larna isn't on her knees, she feels like she wants to take "Zo on" for you.
"Baking is what I mean by being in this mansion... or... no, a habit? That's why I want to go on."
"Well......, I hope so. Because the bread that Rio baked me is delicious. That's right, Konelu, the gadget, if we can further improve you so that you can get to secondary fermentation, all we have to do is cook it round?
"If it's that convenient, you can't tell me I'm making it."
Haha, and laughing riola. If I do make everything automatic, it won't be Riola's bread. Backon Bitchen and Riola's face when tapping the dough and finishing the chime looks really fun.
"I'll take a bath and go to bed.... Goodnight, Brother Gu. No."
"Oh, good night."
Nicole smiled and went as Riola walked out of the living room dining room.
"Interpretation. It means you can come to the bath..."
"Buh!? What are you talking about, Manu?"
"Smile."
Kind of lately Manuferno feels like saying something weird when Riola gets involved...?

"- Sage Grecas, Sage Grecas, please wake up!
"... hmm...?
I woke up when it was half past night. On the bedside of the study (Bet), I sleep with Plum, Hemperoza, and on my belly, Larna.
I quickly realized that the voice calling into my head was Metius, who could come and visit me in my dreams. But the voice seemed a little more pressing than usual.
Waking up your upper body, it's dark outside and the rain and wind are still intense. The time is... I just got around 11: 00 in the middle of the night.
"What's going on, Metti?"
A fairy in a pale light jumped on my hand fluttering. Beautifully tidy doll-like faces are seeping through the color of anxiety.
"That's... I'm not sure. Something... I feel like I'm losing it."
"It's stormy night, so is Metti scared... or something?
"It's not. Something goes far... in the way it disappears"
……
I feel nothing more than a little head shaking fairy.
And that was then.
The Sovereign Circle reacted, and I was relieved. But it was a carriage approaching the hall.
At the same time, the crystal sphere on the desk of the study began to glow pale.
I gently slipped out of my bunk (bed) to keep the prams awake.
I feel like something's going on. It would be natural to think of something related to that "Moving Demon King's Castle"......
When I put my hands on the crystal sphere, it was an ergonote. Ergonote is also a magic power supplied by the treasure sword, and a simple magic tool can handle it.
'- Grecas, the carriage is headed that way. I'm sorry to bother you at this hour, but can you come to the royal castle without asking me anything now?'
This isn't just any more. Something is happening to the kingdom.
"Okay. Can I accompany Lentomia and Lu, too?
'Of course you're welcome. But Manuferno should stay in the hall for the children.'
"Thank you for your concern, son-in-law prince."
"Come on, wise man of the kingdom"
We grinned shallow at each other and found a two-headed, black-painted carriage parked in front of the hall almost at the same time as crystal ball communication stopped. It's a carriage for dignitaries of the King's government. In the storm, a man with a lantern in his hand and a messenger are waiting outside the carriage.
"Sage Grecas......!
"Oh, boy, let's go."
When I got dressed, Metius and I left the study and headed to Manuferno's room. Knock and the door opens. Tell him the situation seems to be an urgent requirement and decide to leave him away.
The guard of the museum decides to keep the wine barrel golems on standby just in case.
I left it to Manuferno to go down the stairs. There, Lentomia, who had been immersed in the lab (lab) long after returning, rushed out, weaving her white cape.
"Gre......! There's been some communication from the crystal sphere."
"Ah."
"Lord Grey... is there still something wrong?"
Luroni also came with his favorite knife resting on his hips.
"I don't know. Let's just go to the royal castle. The museum is tough to protect and don't worry about. I asked Manuferno to be away."
"Don't bother."
When you get in the carriage, you head to the royal castle.
The gushing wind and the pounding rain sparked our anxiety.
◇
Upon his arrival at the Royal Castle, he was greeted by Monoreder and Scarley, assistants in charge of special matters at the Interior Ministry of the King's Government. It's a boulder to say it's the middle of the night and they're both dressed in suits.
The greeting was also guided there, almost silently, to the conference room next to the Great Hall of the Immaculate View.
The castle was lit, but not all departments were moving. Only a very limited number of special departments, such as the Ministry of the Interior, seemed to be moving. But it conveys a rushed, pressing picture.
In the conference room, on the throne prepared for the centre, was the royal seat of His Majesty the King, King Courtile Avneis. The big body is the same, but my complexion is not great because of the disease I hear rumors about. I can see that it looks rather drained.
I kneel unexpectedly, but I am led to my seat "I don't mind". Next to His Majesty the King is also the figure of his son-in-law, Prince Ergonote. Were the outfits in a hurry or wearing something like a liturgical aristocratic garment, but the button on the collar has been removed.
Looking around the conference room, there are others, Sir Apras A. Jill, president of the Royal Magic Society. And Lord Valikerius, head of the Magic Corps, Lord Wilstein, head of the Knights, and the only meeting at the top of the kingdom, that's right.
Between the walls behind the ergonote, in the shadow of the pillars, the white elf wizard Leistoria lurks herself.
Everyone will rise once where they are all, thank His Majesty the King for his loyalty, and take their seats again.
"Hey, why is this..., Awkward, was it in the wrong place?
"Can I go home, too?
Lulu and Lentomia talking in a low voice.
"No, Ergonote called me, I'm fine"
"Grecas the Wise... Um... Your Highness the Princess..."
……
But - I immediately noticed something strange.
Even if you look around, you don't see that elegant Princess Snoovel, the princess of the kingdom with her pitiful intelligence, who curled her golden hair beautifully.
During the crisis in the kingdom, the brave princess was always at the forefront and kept fighting the difficulties.
- Everyone, calm down and listen.
The conference hall was silenced, in the voice of His Majesty the King.
"My daughter, Snoovel, is missing."
- Hey, what's wrong?
