After Cleon left, I thought.

Lucy is being captured on the second basement floor of the Department of the Army and Navy.

That's what Cleon said.

Just whether you can believe what Cleon says or not.

Is there a cell in the building that could also be called the center of the army in the first place?

According to Cleon, three days later, Lucy is considered the reign of the Demon King.

If that happens, Lucy's body will be ruled by the Demon King and he will be alike in abolition.

Lucy is my only master.

If I can't help you with Lucy, I won't be able to forgive myself.

But Cleon isn't.

For Cleon, Lucy is just one of the magic school teachers.

And the ultimate purpose of Creon, the resurrection of Shea, cannot be fulfilled without subordinating Lucy to the complete resurrection of the Demon King.

Me and Cleon's will is in direct conflict.

You can assume that Cleon told me where Lucy is to trap me.

I don't even know if there really is a Lucy in that place.

But that's why if we don't go help Lucy like this, Lucy will be sacrificed for the resurrection of the Demon King.

Just like Arte the Wise and Flora the Astronomer, yes.

The Artes, who were sacrificed in the first stages of the demon king's resurrection, were so badly wounded that they could not be resumed.

"... well. There was Arte."

The Army and Navy Department building houses the headquarters of the Knights of Salvation, and Arte is the former deputy head of the Knights of Salvation.

To some extent, the structure of the building would be known.

When I returned to the mansion, Clarice, dressed as a maid, greeted me in the hallway.

It seemed like he'd been waiting for me in the hallway...

"Are you home yet, people from the Knights of Salvation?

"Yeah. Looks like we're both done for."

Clarice decided to keep her mouth shut when Len, the magician, attacked her.

You don't have to bother to say things that make me anxious.

But Clarice stared at me.

"Dear Solon... please don't push me, right?

"Do I look like I can't?

"Because if you're going to help Professor Lucy, the enemy is the imperial government. I... believe in Master Solon, but if..."

"As I try to help Dr. Lucy, she fails and dies. Did you imagine that?

Clarice did not nod, but lay her eyes down.

You must have been worried about what I said.

Rarely does Clarice have a faint look.

"I know Master Solon wants to help Dr. Lucy. But for Master Philia and me, the most important thing is Master Solon. So... don't push me"

I smiled.

"It's okay. I'm not going to be a dead man. It's my job to continue to teach you magic."

"... right"

"Yes, yes. I have to protect everyone in this mansion, so I can't die."

"Yes! But......"

"I wanted you to tell me you were going to protect everyone, not me."

Clarice looked up at me and laughed.

I was relieved to see him return to his bright look like he always did.

Because I didn't want to worry about Clarice and make her look dark or anything.

I laughed and answered.

"Of course, about Mr. Clarice, too. Because I promised."

Originally, we moved to this mansion to keep the three of us, Philia and Sofia, and Clarice, out of danger.

The number of residents has increased considerably since then, but it has not changed that Clarice is important to me.

Clarice nodded happily.

"That's right. I need Mr. Clarice to come with me for a moment."

"It's cheap, but where are you going? Could it be a date or something?

"Unfortunately, it's in the mansion."

"It's okay! If you think it's a date in the mansion, it's a date!

"Uh... Actually, what I want you to come to is another kid's room."

"Are you taking me to another girl's room? Dear Solon, you're mean."

That's what Clarice said and deliberately let her cheeks swell.

But when I said I was going to Arte's room, Clarice changed her expression and opened her eyes to surprise.

I explained the circumstances to get information.

"I wonder if Arte can talk."

"For once, I think it's okay"

Arte recovered from a coma. I woke up yesterday. I haven't seen Arte yet.

Except for the doctor, who's watching Arte and Flora are Sophia and Clarice.

I'm a man, and it's because of the idea that it would be better for the Sofias to leave Arte's medical attention to them.

Now Arte has become a slave and I am in a position to take refuge as her formal master.

But me and Arte are like enemies originally.

There's no way you can trust me completely, and even if you listen to me, I thought it would be better to have a third party like Clarice.

Clarice nodded with a slightly nervous face.

We knocked on the door to the room in the corner of the mansion.

No reply, so Clarice gently opened the door.

The sunset was shining through the window, but it was a dim room.

Two beds line up next to each other in a killing landscape with little luggage either.

Sleeping on the window bed is astrologer Flora.

Flora had closed her eyes with a calm expression.

I just look asleep.

However, Flora was considered the victim of the demon king's resurrection at the hands of Cleon, causing serious damage to her brain.

I haven't woken up once since Operation Necropolis Strategy.

And in the bed on the front side, there was Arte who lost everything.
