"My Lord, the Prime Minister's suspicions are probably due to me, for I have had a certain amount of contact with Master Merlin. Perhaps he suspects that through me, Galahad and the others may be unknowingly following Lord Merlin's intentions.

　I believe that the information was manipulated to say that Bahamut in the tournament was a phantom, as it would be confusing to reveal that the seal had been broken before we were not prepared.

"When I told him about the Imperial Spider, I told him that the source of my information was an oracle that had fallen upon an acquaintance of mine, so it's not hard to connect him to Homura this time, along with other rumors. Meeting the gods at least brings blessings, and for better or worse, the temples have a great influence on the government and the people of this country. --It's a country where if you have a favor, you have a mission, and you have to cooperate with the mission.

"In addition to that, Lord Alone is going to see the Lord with the 'seeing eye of Phal. It is more effective than my [Eye of Violence]."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The eye of Kal was unstable in its activation, and while it could see hidden skills and titles, there was a risk that it would be affected by seeing if it was a charm or a curse. However, he seems to have been able to control it well recently and does not carelessly look at them anymore.

"You expect me to believe that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Cal looks at Galahad with a wry smile. It certainly seems that at least the eye was usable as a cat. Like Ur-Lolo's peppers, it may be different due to the time shift. ...... In that case, is it possible that the cat-ization is in progress or something like that?

Galahad grins and Camilla and Eagle smile. Don't worry, I know they are cats.

　And in the office, when I opened the door, I saw a cat sitting on the desk with its eyes on the desk. The tail comes to rest on its matching paws!

When our eyes meet, the Prime Minister purrs in confusion.

Galahad and Eagle, who had been grinning until they opened the door, are startled by the change.

　I was about to pick him up, but he waited. Aside from petting them, neither black nor white would let me pick them up unless I felt like it. Maybe they don't like to be restrained, or to have their physical freedom restricted. On the other hand, the Prime Minister will let you hold him.

　I recall that the reply was not interested, saying that since he is a cat for the time being, if he likes it, he should just blow on it.

　We walk along the semicircular corridor. The outer side of the circle is lined with spire arches and lighted windows. On the inside, there are evenly spaced niches in the walls, which in the real world are hollows in the walls used to house sacred images, and statues of deities that are attached to the gods and goddesses of the household. Although one side is a wall, the circular ceiling is high and beautiful in form and does not feel suffocating.
