“Did you tie it properly?”

“For now. Since I have a limited time limit for reading, I won’t be able to resist.”

Before she knew it, the sight of a man being pulled down to the floor and tied tightly with a rope, Heloise’s questions were reaching out to Hye-ryeong as she watched.

A masterpiece of Tangmun, a fatal poison that will lead to death if the antidote is not administered periodically.

Hye-ryeong’s expression looked a little shocked after using Hwan-dok, which was not necessary for someone like this.

In response to Carla’s strong request not to kill him, Hye-ryeong felt the need for additional nagging.

However, she was gently nodding her head after listening to Carla’s next words… …

“If this person dies like this…

It goes against the original plan… ?

Other people say they kill each other while gambling?”

According to the original plan, it would obviously be to fake their deaths as Carla said.

However, if the mage was also found dead, the story could have become more complicated.

As a result, Hye-ryeong had no choice but to take out the precious recitation, which is mostly used to silence or threaten.

“This must be someone worth using… ”

Isn’t everyone’s life precious?

With their lives as collateral, no one would dare rebel.

However, one thing that concerns me is that if he were to risk death, he would be taking a serious risk.

In the end, once again, Carla was simply forced to make the choice to take risks.

Heryeong clicked his tongue, checked the knot tying the rope once again, and looked back at Heloise with eyes that seemed to have a lot to say.

“Did you take the materials?”

“For now, I took everything..

I’ll have to check if this is all.

Carla’s research will also be among these papers.”

Eloise shows a small handbag connected to a large space using expansion magic.

She was nodding her head without confidence, giving an answer with the nuance that she wasn’t sure right now.

“So you’ve done everything you had to do?

Everyone go out. Get out of here.”

In the end, now that their goal had been achieved, there was no longer any reason for them to be here.

Hyeryeong issued a congratulatory order to everyone else and seemed intent on driving them out of the place.

“Yes. Let’s get out now,,,

for a moment… What is Hye-ryeong trying to do?”

“Because I have to silence that guy.

So I’ll leave after that guy wakes up.

It’s a hindrance, so let’s all go back.

Go check things out.”

“Hye-ryeong… … ”

“Things keep getting more complicated.

Won’t you please go quickly?

If it’s just me, I can get rid of my body at any time.

It was because I had to protect the young lady earlier.”

Seeing Hyeryeong grumbling and getting irritated, the eyes of the others were darkening.

“Be careful… I have to… … .?”

While Yui was supporting Eloise, who was staggering due to exhaustion of her magical power, Carla was looking back at Hyeryeong and saying a word.

The dramatic confrontation from earlier and the occurrence of situations that do not go as expected.

Hye-ryeong, who seemed very mentally complicated, did not respond to Carla’s words and appeared to be lightly resting her buttocks on the chair next to her.

On the way back to the academy, leaving her alone.

The group stopped at the words of Eloise, who was being supported by Yui on the road, and entered an inn on the side of the road.

“Confirm… I have to try it… … ”

Yui, who quickly understood what Eloise said, left Eloise’s help to Carla and was quickly showing her the room.

In the room they entered, they locked the door tightly to prevent anyone from trespassing or peeping.

The two girls were retreating to the back as Eloise opened her small handbag while receiving support from Yui and a physical check.

Then, in an instant, trunks containing papers were pouring out and piling up in the place they had avoided.

“The Academy is… yet…

You might be under surveillance… …

From here… Let’s check it out… … .”

Eloise’s words, expressing concern about a second surprise attack that might occur at the academy.

Yui and Carla realized their roles and began searching through trunks of papers leaked from the medical and engineering departments, respectively.

And Eloise’s busy hands were also moving quickly as she searched through the trunk of the Department of Magic that contained Carla’s thesis.

Since each person knew the information of their respective department to some extent, the confirmation itself was not difficult.

but… …

“It looks like a few are not enough… … ”

“Here too… … .!!

There must have been research on the 12-sided structure and structural strengthening conducted by Rippendale…

doesn’t exist… !! Even if I look for it again… … !!”

In the end, Yui and Carla, who were looking at each other with bewildered expressions, were about to look anxious.

Eloise’s voice, as if breaking their mood, was heard tremblingly.

“No… Uh… …

Carla’s research paper… … ”

“Yes… ? No way… …

If I look again…

Obviously somewhere… .!!”

“It’s true. perhaps… …

It may have already been stolen and stored somewhere else… ”

At Eloise’s words that seemed like a lightning strike, not only Carla but also Yui’s expressions hardened.

This situation is such that the research that has been barely recovered through all the hardships until now is missing.

It was reminiscent of an item window where a few high-quality items were carefully selected and the rest were organized as leftover items.

And among the three women, who found it difficult to accept such a situation, there was a long silence due to disappointment.

.

.

.

.

.

.

He was quietly watching these very disappointed women.

It was a black film that was gently wrapping around Yui’s body and wriggling around.

Originally, because of the bad memories I had of her in the past, I refrained from touching her body for a while.

However, the Academy attack that occurred not long ago,

I thought I should plant Nemea on Yui, who was almost in danger at that time, so she could protect herself.

Nemea, which was planted to soothe her as she shivered due to memories of her body being altered in the past, was now performing its role quite well and protecting her well.

‘There are no research results from Carla… … ?

Was it really stolen somewhere… ‘

What was the purpose of this raid on the hideout in the first place?

It was to retrieve Carla’s research paper, which could not be gently taken away.

Although there were some difficulties along the way, they were able to come this far with the will to regain what was taken from them.

But this time, it would be extremely dangerous for them.

‘The stolen data was probably… …

Because this time, it will be with Lalatina herself.

It would be difficult to break through to that point with this member… ‘

Let’s say this hideout was like a hidden dungeon drawn on a treasure map, so you wouldn’t have any trouble getting into it if you figured out the address.

Lalatina’s home base is truly a boss dungeon filled with bosses and subordinates, requiring great military prowess.

I can help even if I act a little recklessly, but I cannot save a tiger from sticking its head into its mouth.

I had a feeling that their dominance would end here somehow.

And fortunately, Yui was gently approaching Carla, who was bowing her head, and holding her hand.

“Carla… … I’m sorry… … ”

“Let’s go back, Yui,,,,,,”

Carla pulled her hand out of her hand and immediately hugged Yui’s waist tightly, burying her face in her embrace.

“Carla… … !?”

“I finally realized it… Sorry…

because of me… Everyone almost got into real danger… !!

me… I’m just glad that Yui wasn’t hurt…

And Hyeryeong… Professor Eloise… … ”

Although Hye-ryeong had not returned yet, her skills could now be clearly trusted.

There was a subtle sense of guilt in Carla’s eyes as she looked from side to side, looking at Yui and Heloise alternately.

“This kind of thing… It can’t be helped… ?

The thesis is disappointing, but… What do you think!?

Yui is ten times more than that… Because it’s hundreds of times more precious… !!

But we… So many papers were recovered… ?

That’s right, Professor… … ?”

Carla’s strange and cute behavior of smiling and hugging Yui even though she must have been upset was a slightly dark but subtle smile on the faces of the two women who were watching.

“Ah… Umm… is it so… …

If Miss Carla hadn’t offered to step forward…

Obviously, I didn’t know what would happen…

I was able to get some of it back…

It’s thanks to you all.”

In that situation, Héloïse, who seemed to have a lot on her mind and had a sentimental attitude, was gently approaching Carla.

“It certainly could have been reckless.

But to all of you who courageously stepped forward to do what the Academy needed to do.

Heloise de Fantini, full professor of the Department of Magic, would like to express her gratitude on behalf of the Academy.”

Eloise strokes Carla’s head and holds her in Yui’s arms.

‘Rather, I’m more embarrassed… …

really… He’s a really good kid… … ‘

She seemed to be giving strength to the hand that hugged Carla, hoping to get some compensation.
