"That's why. So don't come into my room for three days. Please notify the other maids.

"Okay, sir, is ...... okay?

　Berne instructed Anna through the doorway.
　Now there should be no squire coming into the room.
　It was a shame to think that the last thing she would see of Anna would be this sad face, but she would not trade her life for it.

　I'm sure Anna understands that.

"Don't worry. If you have any problems, just tell me through the door. Anna is the only one who allows me to come here.

I'll do my best!

............

　Aria and Licht, who were listening to the exchange between the two, looked at each other with indescribable expressions.
　Aria and Licht were looking at each other with an indescribable look on their faces as they listened to Bern's most trusted servant.

　In the minds of Aria and Richt, she was a cool, unemotional giant of a man.
　In other words, she was the complete opposite of Anna.

I'm sorry for the wait. I think we're good to go.

"Oh, come on. "Hey, hey, hey. Are you sure you'll be all right with such a light-hearted little girl?　I can only see something going wrong with ......?

No, no. She may look like that, but she's a very tough talker. I can say this with confidence.

...... I hope that's all right.

　I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know what you think.
　If Bern trusts you this much, there's nothing for Aria to say.
　It's not like she has low loyalty, so it's probably a safe line.

But queens are surprisingly flexible. It's not easy for her to stay indoors for three days, but ...... that's how much she's trusted.

"Well, it doesn't mean you can't talk to them. It's a lot easier for us because we're not under scrutiny.

They probably have their hands full with the mess of adventurers. People are stupid after all.

No doubt.

　The Demon Lord and the vixen laugh at the humans' panic from on high.
　It would be a long time before Richt would join this circle, but that didn't stop him from feeling sorry for the humans.

So, now that the preparations are over, what do we do?

We'd better do something. ......?　I've got some cards, but I'm sure they'll get boring soon.

I'm asleep, so you two are free to do as you please. ......

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
　If you force her to wake up at this point, it's almost certain that Aria will be in a bad mood, so it's impossible to do anything about it.

　Bern and Licht sat down awkwardly in their chairs.

"Well, do you want to play cards ......?

"No, I don't know the rules. ......

"Oh, sorry, .......

　A moment of silence.
　It's not as if Richt has the communication skills to dispel this atmosphere.
　In addition, he was dealing with a sorceress he had never talked to before.

"Oh, um... I'm talking about your ability. ......

　The first one to break the silence was the caring Bern.
　The first person to break the silence was the caring Bern, who looked unsure if it was a good idea to talk to him, but Licht urged him with his eyes to continue.

It's great that you can bring the dead back to life!

"Oh, thank you .......

And ....... If I were to die, I'd like to know what the time limit is on when I can be revived. ......

　What Bern was wondering about was the time limit of the "reanimation".
　This is the kind of information that you really want to know, because you don't know what the assassin will do to you, and there is a possibility that the resuscitation will be delayed.

　It was not that he didn't trust Richt, but Bern's cautious nature made him ask that question.

There is no time limit. We'll be fine for at least a hundred years.

What?　What? Then there's no time limit.

That's okay too. I've experimented with rats many times before.

　All I can do is laugh.

　Bern felt as if all the techniques he had done so far to protect himself from his enemies were ridiculous.
