Ursh, I'm going to a place where I hear there are some protected students with you.

They were gathered in front of a burning staff building, surrounded in large measure by students who came to see how things were going around it and by students who came looking for someone they knew.

Wasn't there a searcher among the protected students, Ursh, to replace the students away from the wheel. Find Marieta among the protected students who entered the wheel with you.

The number of protected students is more than a dozen. Officials handed out warm soups of drinks and cookouts to students sitting on the ground and anxious while standing, and the protected students seemed to explain to the dean and faculty what had happened in turn.

I just finished explaining the situation to the Dean of the College and found Marieta, who was trying to get back inside the protected population.

Apparently, Marieta was one of the students caught in something.

Calling out loud to Marieta, who was about to return to the group unaware of me, she looked back to be played.

Marieta opened her eyes and was surprised when she realized what I looked like, and ran away from the group towards me.

"Isabella?! How did you end up here? Isabella can't come here, she'll die again!!

Yeah? 'Again' to die? What the hell is going on here?

"Why the hell not? I thought if I deposited Bella, she wouldn't come out of the library building."

Hmm? That sounds like the way you put it, you left Bella to hold me back in the library building.

But that won't stop you. Because I didn't get Bella's food or anything to take care of her, so either way, I'm gonna have to go outside the library building in search of them. Stuffing is sweet. Stuffing.

"No... you know, Marieta. I didn't have Bella's rice or diapers. And Bella..."

I left it with Barbara. And I say, I realize it.

I had time spent in the kingdom of Barbara and Deanna, so I thought it was okay to trust her in keeping Bella, a type of person who was very responsible for the weak she was good at caring for her children or somehow put into her own pocket, but from Marieta, Barbara is a half-sister who has been abusing herself in her childhood.

If that half-sister left her daughter on her own, wouldn't she feel too good about it, saying it's complicated or anxious?

I just realized that, but it's after I've already deposited it, and since we're going to be together in the Alchemy Department, I want you to start interacting again as sisters.

... and Barbara was obviously in the right place, and even if she complained about the deposited behavior, I think I'm in a good position to reverse the swing.

After much thought, I honestly told Marietta that I had left Bella with Barbara and why, and where Bella was now.

Then approximated my concern, Marieta nodded lightly.

"Yes. I'd be relieved if she'd look at Bella. She speaks and acts very aggressively, but because she knows she is a person who leaks dissatisfaction but takes great care of herself and becomes very desperate to protect her existence. I've had a few lives in the past where she complained about me but helped me. So I know exactly what she's like."

Well, has there ever been a life of Marieta and Barbara together in the loop?

When I heard that, I thought about the bond and life that Marietta had lost in the past, and I lost it a little bit.

Barbara's personality doesn't seem the same now that she spent time with Marieta.

Speaking of which, Barbara's abuse of Marietta was caused by her mistress and her hidden child, who cried and lived and ran to help their blocked mother. There are extreme things to do, but behavioral principles such as attacking things that hurt the existence you need to protect have not changed.

In a way, Barbara might say she has her own creed, or she could say someone with a single core.

"So, what the hell did Marieta jump out of it? Stop me with your own daughter."

To my inquiry, Marieta silenced when she darkened her expression and dropped her gaze.

By the time Marieta scorched me not to say anything and tried to ask me again, she finally started talking to Potty Potty with a small voice.

"There have been several times in the past when the college burns like this one... It's all been years since we graduated."

Well, if it happened a few years after graduation, it's natural that it's not in the game scenario, no wonder I don't know.

But this is the time for an introduction to the discipline right after the admissions ceremony. I haven't even started regular classes yet.

How did the time come so fast?

"There were several times when Isabella lost her life in the past when the college burned. Yes, many times. It's because of the fire thing, or in the middle of pursuing a demon king worship group that made this case."

Hmm? Shit, I thought I heard something important right now.

What did the mastermind of this case say?

"Remember that... So I think Isabella is in danger..."

"Wait a minute, Marieta. Did you just say" demon king "worship group? Is that what caused this fire?

I block Marietta's remarks and ask her the most important questions.

Marieta replies, a little surprised that I've been asking her to eat.

"Yeah, I am. This is one of the rituals that will bring the demon king back to life."

"I heard the Demon King perished over a thousand years ago, will he be resurrected? Can you do that?"

Well, that ritual... no way would it affect me or you, Ursh, or Master Chris, or Brian, who has the Major Crimes King skill, would it?

That ritual will react to the Great Sin King's skills, and each one of them will be demonized, right?

Besides, I'm also concerned about the bad kings divided into ten of the nursery rhymes I heard this morning, and there are too many mysteries!!

Before you ask or find out, the next thing you know, there's a lot of meaningful, fragmented information coming in, and I don't know why!

It's time to gather all the pieces of information that we would all have at the moment to make a rough prediction of the situation we are now in.

Don't hesitate to disclose all the information we all just have!?

Shut up with your true face so you don't rush Marieta, but the inside is havoc. Pretty rough.

"Uh... There are all sorts of theories about why the Demon King is gone, and the theory that was defeated and destroyed by the Holy Knight more than a thousand years ago, and the theory that was sealed forever in the narrow space of the dimension (Hazama), and other subtle differences in rhetoric, depending on the region and race..."

And according to the story she continued, it was the group that believed in 'The Demon King is a theory sealed in the narrow space of the dimension' that made this case.

But why did you think if you set fire to the college, the Demon King would be resurrected?

I twist my neck because I don't know the relationship between the demon king resurrection and college inflammation.

Considering that keeping students captive is for the sacrifices that ritual requires, I'm a demon king worshipper as we all think, but the protected students are not hurt as one.

The ritual itself is already over because the Dragon Knight candidate found signs that some ritual was performed, that is, traces of the ritual.

So what did you capture the students for?

There were too many things that didn't fall to my heart, and when I opened my mouth to listen a little more specifically, one of the faculty and staff came to get Marieta.

They say the protected students will be guarded by faculty and security guards as they are gathered until then, as they will have to provide information again to the Knights who will come when night breaks.

Sigh about Marieta being escorted by an official to travel with the other students, dropping off with you, Ursh.

In the end, it also ended up just getting halfway information.

But after tomorrow, I'm going to try to get Marieta to tell me what she knows.

I have to keep thinking about the next thing.

In the meantime, let's figure out where to camp with you now, Ursh.

When I turned to you with that in mind, Ursh, you looked very serious and were thinking of something.

"What's going on? Mr. Ursh, is there something bothering you?

I speak so, but it doesn't seem to have reached you, Ursh, who is sinking into the sea of thought.

I'm a little nervous because you're rare enough to not react to my talking voice, Ursh.

Was there something so thought-provoking about it?

I will not respond to you forever, Ursh, and I will speak to you again as I pull his sleeve beyond my comfort.

"Mr. Ursh, what's wrong? Marieta's been found, and it's time to find a place where we can wait until nightfall?

Then, Ursh, you finally turned your face towards me and opened your mouth.

"Isabella. I have to tell Isabella something."

I think it's a very important story for a serious look and a way of talking at all times.

"Do you remember what Isabella told me when she was a kid, on her way home from kidnapping Lady Chris, in the carriage?

"Yeah, I remember. You're talking about my major crime skills."

"That's right. Remember that time when you told Isabella there was something she still couldn't tell me?

"Yeah. Ursh, I gave it back to you when you wanted to. Um, if you don't want to tell me yet, you don't have to, okay?

I'll give it back, Ursh, but you shake your head slowly.

"Yeah. I don't think it's the kind of time I have to say," Say it or don't say it. "Sure, I haven't made up my mind yet, but I still think I need to let Isabella know while I'm at it. So... will you listen to me?

"Ursh, if that's what you decided, I'll ask. It's important, isn't it?

"Yes, it's important."

Ursh, who nodded heavily, then opened his mouth with a tense look as he beat it.

"I'm talking about the man who embedded the Seven Crimes Skill in Isabella and tried to create the Demon King."
