When Mr. Gilmouth and Mr. Etchey drop off their way back to the captainâs house, they return to the dining room.\n
âHa, donât get any bigger and bigger talkingâ
Your father nods at Mr. Ginalâs words.
Sure, I think itâs kind of out of hand talk.
No, do you originally have extra time?
âI donât like it. Druid, can you leave this village right away?
âI have a little cleanup, but no problem. Howâs Ivy?
I canât⌠right away though.
âOne day would be fine. Should I stay away from this village?
âNot yet, I donât know. But you should just get ready. Something like that.â
To Mr. Ginalâs words, he nods strangely.
Are you saying that Mr. Gilmouth and the others could be doing something?
âAh, the Gilmouths are fine. I donât know⌠thereâs going to be an investigation team in this village thatâs going to look into the magic team, so I think we should move early.â
âWe canât erase any trace of where we were, so we might be under investigation.â
I can see your fatherâs words leaning between his eyebrows.
You have a strong impression of looking into criminals, so you donât want to be the subject of an investigation.
âThatâs right. Thereâs nothing you can do about it, Captain or Gilmouth.â
Shouldnât we talk to the investigation team for once?
Leaving the village here seems more likely to have escaped.
âShouldnât we talk about it once? Theyâre going to think he escaped.â
âSurely thereâs a great chance that you think youâve escaped. But thereâs someone whoâs coming as an investigation team.â
But youâre the one who investigates, so you donât have a solid person coming?
âHow many seriousâ decent âinvestigators are there?
That the other half isnât real?
âThatâs⌠thatâs a bad organization, isnât it?
I donât think itâs entirely possible as an organization that half of us donât work seriously.
How can you not make me stop people who donât work seriously?
Is that also why you canât let it stop you?
âYes, but itâs a bit of a translation.â
After all, you mean thereâs something you canât stop?
Besides, itâs not an easy situation to talk to.
Than thatâŚâŚ Iâm afraid of Mr. Ginalâs expression.
After this story, I feel the stirring air getting colder and colder.
Still, Mr. Ginal knows a lot of things ~.
âMr. Ginal knows everything.â
Is he that informative with investigators?
âGinal also does the back job, so youâd have more information to pick up over there, wouldnât you?
âWell. Because there were many requests from the royal family and the surrounding area. It feels like youâve learned a lot. I usually ignore it. You canât get involved, we belong in a neutral organization.â
In and around the royal family?
Um, is it okay to talk about it?
Youâre usually tied up in a contract, and you canât talk, can you?
âIs it okay if I talk to you?
âItâs okay, âcause Iâm talking about not hitting the contractâ
Thatâs right, can I think of it?
âIvy, read the contract carefully.â
I replied to Mr. Ginalâs sudden words, surprised, but what?
âAre you reading it right? \nâIâm reading it.â
Although I try to read the contract thoroughly for now.
âLook, make sure youâre contracted to your center.â
âFor example, if Ivy says no when you need to make some kind of decision, itâs whether itâs a contract that will be judged no. If this gives the other person the right to judge, they donât sign a contract. See?â
Uh, if I decide no, no, I wonât let them judge me.
Oh, I see. You mean Iâm the center?
I mean, if you want me to keep a secret no matter what I tell you after the contract, Iâll make a central contract not to divulge it to a third party, right?
Because if Iâm not the center, I could be spoken to by a third partyâŚâŚ right?
Somehow, when you look at the contract, you feel bad about it.
Even though the contract you see here is very concise.
Hmm? The contract you see here?
⌠Also, my previous memory is interrupting?
I donât know, a contract with a few fine letters⌠even though Iâve never seen one in my life.
âAre you all right? Have we talked that hard?
Mr. Ginal looks at me strangely.
And I shake my head to the side.
âHey, my memoryâs hanging over me. Itâs okay.â
Reminded me of my contract now.
Itâs so easy to write, theyâre all one.
Plus, it has a sentence in it that Iâm going to be the center of.
And the contract that Mr. Ginal prepared for me.
\nâA good battle with Ciel⌠what a strong man, itâ
When I look at Ciel, for some reason my eyes are glitteringâŚâŚ
What, Cielâs motivated, too?
âMe, because Iâm only 9â
Your father nodded at my words and Mr. Ginal has looked at me with a bit of pity.
Why, this is what we talked about?
âIâll even bring you some new tea.â
Letâs change the atmosphere and talk about what weâre going to do.
But, Captain, I went to the house to get some information. If Mr. Gilmouth doesnât come home, I wonder if we can move on.
With that said, itâs time for lunch.
I had too much sweets because I hadnât had breakfast.
âIâm leaving, Iâm fineâ
Mr. Gilmouth, to the sound of a knock on the door of his house, Mr. Ginal heads to the front door.
In the meantime, letâs just prepare some tea.
âOkay, Iâm leaving in three days.â
I made some tea, and when I went back to my room, I heard your father.
When I entered the room, I found Mr. Gilmouth a little irritated.
âIvy, bad. It turns out the investigators are here. Even the captain canât hold it down.â
What if something happened?
âOkay. So youâre leaving this village in three days.â
âIt will. Weâll give you a hand with whatever you need to get ready.â
In the meantime, I have three days, so Iâm fine.
