I think that Mr. Majin was able to fool us.

　I believe that they will not take any action until we (Alexei) provide them with information.



　Now, let's move on.



　After the class, I came back to Professor Tia's research building and had a cup of tea with Char in the meeting space, I suddenly made a suggestion.



"So, Char, I have a favor to ask you.



"Yes, brother."



　Happy with the cake she had brought as a souvenir, Char-chan gulped down a mouthful of it and then responded with a crisp response.

　Next to her, Professor Tia, who had been eating the cake without being summoned, said in disgust.



"How can you say without explaining the situation?　I don't think it's right to accept a favor without even asking what it is."



"No, Professor Tia, it is a sister's nature to guess without being told. And no sister would refuse a request from her brother.



"Is that so?"



　I don't know why you're asking me this, but I'm sure it's true.



　But, well, I can't just leave it at that. I don't want you to go on with your delusional outburst again.



　I tell him as I draw in my mind the that I had worked all night (and slept until noon) to set up for today.



"Actually, Charu. I've got important information about the resurrection of the demon god.



"That's my brother!　But I am sorry to have bothered you with my inadequacies, my brother. ......"



　Char-chan is cute, showing her anguish.



"No, this is just information I happened to get on a case I'm pursuing. It's nothing for you to worry about.



"You've started another little play, haven't you?"



　My tone has gone into Shiva mode. Let's just ignore Professor Tia for now and continue.



　To be honest, it pains me to cheat on my sister.

　But I made up my mind that I wanted to buy time for my father to make the necessary arrangements with the nobles and for Charlotte, of all people, to enjoy herself.



"It seems that Lucifira, the demon god, has not yet completely revived. It seems that there is a magical tool that is the key to its resurrection."



"I see!　That's what we're going to find and retrieve before Mr. Demigod does!"



　You're catching on fast.



"Yes. Specifically, we must find the seven secret cards and get them before the demons do!



"Oh? Char-chan is so excited and cute.

"What's not specific at all?" Professor Tia looks stunned.



"The cards are scattered all over the world and their whereabouts are unknown, since Mr. Majin has yet to retrieve them, aren't they?



　Yeah, something like that.



Do you have any way to find it?



"I'm sure that the recent disturbance in King's Landing was caused by the demigods in order to find the card.



　Oh, I see.



But since then, there has been no major incident by the goddess. He must have changed his policy.



　Mm-hmm, you mean?



"The secret card ...... that contains the power of Mr. Majin must be something that will bring misfortune to the world. It is inevitable that something like dark power leaking out will have a bad influence on those around it. When inexplicable incidents occur, the secret card will reveal itself.



　That's what I was thinking: .......



"So if we follow up on some strange incidents, we'll find this secret card or whatever it is."



"That's right, Professor Tia. Since the official name seems to be unknown, let's call it the . Since the demigod was trying to revive himself in the kingdom, we can assume that he is scattered nearby.



　My sister is mercilessly overwriting the settings I've been working on all night.

　I felt a jolt!　I was going to just say, "It looks like it's over there," but now I'm wondering if I need to make a mystery case out of it.



"What?　Speaking of which, ......"



　What's wrong with your difficult face, Char?　You're so cute.



"A while ago, one of our students went missing..."



　Digima?



"Ah, Mr. Schneidal of the Marquise of Hafen. Someone else was involved, wasn't he?



　Who's that?　It's me.

　No, I was the one who got tangled up with Schneidal senior, and he's the one who disappeared. I must have sent him off to some mysterious time-space.



"It's worth looking into."



　Yeah, that's fine.

　It's too much trouble to make a case. I don't want Charles to waste his time.



I'm busy with another case. Will you do it?



"Leave it to me, brother. We at Camelot and Numbers will do everything in our power to meet your expectations."



　Charu is also cute, with her fighting spirit burning brightly.






　Anyway, Char's fantasy has been sublimated into a setting, and we have decided what we are going to do.

　I have to do a lot of things, but if Char's smile is waiting for me at the end of it, I'm not bothered.



　Hmmm?　Charles is making a difficult face again.



"But even if we secure the seven Lucifer cards, won't the demon god be completely revived by the eighth card that shouldn't exist ......?"



　Hmmm?　Do you feel like you have to do that?



　My sister's imagination knew no bounds.
