"What do you mean?"

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

　Brother Henri said with a furrowed brow.

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

"That wolf is the one that someone sent to the magic academy."

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

""I knew it.""

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

　My voice and Jill's overlapped beautifully.

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

　I could see Paul's pupils were mydriatic.

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

"You knew?"

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

"I kind of had a feeling about that."

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

"It's funny how a wild wolf just wanders into a magic academy."

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

　Mr. Henri looks at Paul without changing his expression.

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

　...... Henri knew that someone had sent him to the Academy of Magic.

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

　I'm not sure why he doesn't show any emotion on his face.

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

　I'm sure Duke and the others know something about the wolves. ....... The question is who.

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

"The wolf of Lavar?"

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

"...... yes."

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

　Paul froze for a moment at Jill's words, then nodded slowly and deeply.

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

　I knew it was the wolf of Laval. Does that mean that someone from Laval has invaded our country? The story is getting more and more complicated.

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

"I know that too. Who is it that I want to know?　Who brought the wolf into this country?"

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

　Brother Henri said a little tediously.

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

　You've already done such thorough research. I'm impressed.

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

"You knew about this?"

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

"Yes, long time ago. I've been involved in this for a long time.

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

"...... So all you want to know is my name?"

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

　Mr. Paul still doesn't seem to understand the situation.

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

　It is certainly frustrating to have the information you were planning to provide known to others before you have a chance to do so.

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

　But wolves in Laval wear collars, right?　So why don't the owners know.

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

"What happened to the wolves?"

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

　Both Paul and his brother Henri froze a little at my words.

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

　I wonder what their reaction is to .......

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

　Did I ask something bad? But at least we'll know the wolf is alive, right?

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

"It looks like Liz magically subdued him and then let him go."

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

　Brother Henri said in a heavy tone, as if he was having trouble saying it.

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

　Yes?　What did your brother Henri just say?

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

"...... let him go?"

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

"A wild wolf?"

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

"You attacked a human, didn't you?"

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

"Where did you let him go?"

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

　Jill and I asked questions one after the other as if we were accusing my brother Henri.

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

　I know it's useless to ask him, but I can't help it.

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

　I am appalled by his completely unthinking behavior.

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

"I don't know. But what I didn't tell Liz is that the wolf was found dead the next day."

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

"You know that much?"

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

　Mr. Paul chuckled as he said this.

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

"Did someone kill you?"

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

　Jill said with difficulty.

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

　...... is heavy. Then the story is too heavy.

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

　This is a girl's game. The story can't be that heavy.

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

"Cather Liz wanted to play a woman who cared about animals."

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

　There was no light in Jill's eyes when she said that.

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

　Liz would never think that. She's a good-hearted person.

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

"Maybe Cather Liz put up the wolves, too."

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

"I don't think so."

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

　Brother Henri's mouth turned up a little and he laughed.

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

"Normally I wouldn't cover for someone who was abusing me. Cather Liz knew the wolves wouldn't kill her, so she dared to cover for them."

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

"...... that's going to be very popular."

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

　Mr. Paul seems to have understood Jill's point.

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

　Wait, that's reading too much into it, she's the heroine. She's a heroine. She wouldn't plan such an elaborate scheme to boost her own popularity.

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

　Jill's dislike for Ms. Liz is giving rise to her bias.

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

"You're a pestilence."

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

　Jill spit venom with a half-smile.

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

　...... This is not good.

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

"Jill."

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

　I said, looking Jill straight in the eye.

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

　Jill must have immediately realized that my eyes were serious. She slowly closed her mouth.

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

"You look at things too subjectively. Look objectively at the facts."

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

　I said quietly, not looking away from Jill.

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

"Focusing only on the wolves, the wolf movement has entered this country from Laval and has also invaded the magic academy. The wolf was seized by Liz and fled somewhere and died the next day. ...... What does this tell you?"

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

　I took one look at all three of their faces.

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

　All three of them just had a scowl on their faces.

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

　I am certainly curious as to who sent the wolves into this country. But at this point I have no idea.

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

　All I can think about now is why the wolves were sent to the magic academy: .......

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

"Where's the collar?"

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

　At Jill's question, Henri gave a small shake of his head.

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

　...... didn't he have a collar?　

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

"Even though it's steel?"

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

　Jill said this with a wrinkle between her eyebrows as if she was trying to make my point for me.

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

"Yeah, there was no collar."

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

"Any chance of magic?"

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

"......, I guess so."

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

　Brother Henri said, looking a little thoughtful.

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

　There are very few people outside of this country who can use magic.　

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

　The only people I can think of are the bigwigs from Durkis who were exiled to Laval by the king's mother. ....... I don't know how high up in the Laval they are, but if they are the ones who came up with this plan, our country is finished.

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

　Yes, that's what a sober mind will tell you.

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

　Three people with Uncle Will's ideas went to the Laval Nation?　

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

　They could easily break the iron collar with magic. And they hate this country.

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

　Then why did they let wolves into the magic academy? .......

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

　I don't think they came here to find out what's going on at the academy. Maybe to find out how strong Durkis is now.

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

　...... wolves appeared near you, Liz?

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

　I looked up and saw Jill. My eyes meet Jill's. Jill stared at me and gave me a small nod.

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

　She seemed to be thinking the same thing I was.

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

　Jill's gray eyes flashed and she muttered in a low voice.

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

"So it's Cather Liz you're after."
