Noah nodded in a difficult face to urge me to continue reporting the murder.

"It's tough. The official investigation was closed. But you think there's a next time, don't you?

I think so.

"In that case, the most likely thing is the same day the following year."

Yeah, I think so.

There is a reason why we agreed.

The last time the magic group ritual that sacrificed the girl was on the day of the summer solstice. A ceremony held on such a special day makes sense in itself. I was alert to the winter solstice, but nothing happened.

Therefore, the possibility of the next summer solstice is suspicious.

"So the rest is prediction of the place. Such a sophisticated magic team must have a lot to decide on the setting of the place."

Sure, if we can figure it out, we might be able to prevent it or catch the killer.

"You can't grasp the law once. What about the specificity of the installation site? Maybe there's something special going on in that place in the past, or maybe there's an ant to explore history."

I'll suggest what I can do now. Noah nodded honestly.

I'll check it out.

"And what's going on at the scene now?

"After all, the magic team has been completely removed."

"Have you checked the residue of the location?

"What do you mean?

"Remember that visibly black vibe? In a place where there's nothing, that ritual suddenly happens again? I wonder if it was a place with such distortions and underlayments from the beginning. If the magic team is still being removed, then perhaps it was a ritual to drill a hole in some sense.

"Hole?"

"I don't know where it goes. This is an unstable place where it's easy to call in the mood, or where it's easy to drill holes."

"I see. At the moment, we can only predict the next point in common with that place, including history."

The two of them came up with various opinions and decided on the future policy one by one. You can use one of the 100 ideas in this discussion. I keep giving opinions.

"It's better than the exchange of letters. If anything new happens, can I go see him now?

Fine.

Feel free to nod to Noah's suggestion after you've finished. This one was probably quicker.

Looks like you were obsessed with the discussion. The training is just over. I wanted to see it a little bit more.

Well, I'll go.

Yeah, see you later.

Yes, I suppose you came to the study group. You shouldn't be late than Chiaran.

As Noah left, the tired and full-bodied boys and girls returned.

"Good day."

"Whoa, who was that?

Max comes back and asks first. Did you care while you were training? You're losing focus!

"My friend Noah Clayton. I came to a study group with Chiaran."

"Ah, the grandson of the Prime Minister... I can't be too alarmed about the royal castle."

The bumps and blurry backs are pounding hard.

"Don't be ridiculous, come and help me. It's almost your fault."

I pointed to the boys and girls of House Einsworth. Almost all of them are sent to the infirmary. He's hurt somehow.

There are curative magic, potions and other convenient things in this world, so the training is really radical. I usually do it at the level of a fracture.

Practice and games are always like a full-contact battle, scary. That's why fighting cans can be polished at levels that don't make you look good.

And Max is intact as a matter of course.

Ah, well, I'll be right there.

Max went honestly to help. They've gotten along a lot with this training.

"How was the game?

The same intact Chiaran came to me. Oh, that's a caring prince. They're gonna hang out with me till Max gets back.

"It was interesting. I was a little jealous that I should be mixed up."

Give back your honest impressions.

Well, I'm not complaining because this is the result of my own choice. In Gladys' position, I could have chosen the path of battle like Sonia. Maybe I could have fought without magic.

But you chose what you wanted to do the most, and you threw it away. I don't have any particular passion. It's just a yearning.

"Chiaran is amazing. I can't believe you didn't pull that guy off."

"Not yet. I want to be stronger while I'm free to move. At least as much as my mother."

"Fufufu, that's a tough goal. Even if you stay away from the battle, the queen is strong."

I see.

The laughing chiaran noticed something and pointed at me.

"Oh, there he is."

"Nh!!!?

Instantly understand intent.

Nooooooooo!!!

I couldn't even afford to scream, and I stuck to Chiaran.

"Are you that bad?

Chiaran smiles bitterly and moves his hand around my back. Yes, the 'Object X' - there he is!

"Well, how did you know?

I don't want to look at you anymore. Confirm the safety distance with only signs, and then ask.

"I was moving the shade unnaturally. It's been a long season."

"Eh!? Was it unnatural!?

Surprised by the elegance. Since you've been avoiding it unconsciously all the time, you didn't even notice it yourself.

Really, why are only caterpillars so shiny? Potatoes are fine. Anyway, the disgusting feeling makes my head completely white and I can't do anything. Honestly, I don't like it.

"There are a lot of women who don't like insects in general, and you don't care, do you?

The words of Chiaran, who followed me with a dent, fell unexpectedly from my eyes.

Oops, if they say so!!

I didn't want to show weakness during the Zachariah period, so I went in the direction of hiding it, but now I'm a weak Duchess! Rather, caterpillars aren't good enough!? Whoa, whoa!

Well, the other worms are totally fine.

Chiaran continued to say a word of astonishment to me when I felt like I was opening my eyes.

"Indeed, the first great prophet of the founding kingdom, Mr. Galatea, was not the only caterpillar in the creature."
