Meer, for the time being, came to the room she was planning to stay in.
It was a quaint room like the lord's office.
There is also a heavy desk, a bookshelf with thick books, and a circular table for serving customers.
Meer analyzes that it's a good room to work in between him. In addition, the wall was decorated with a harsh portrait of a young man. Probably in his late teens. Was he Patty's brother, Hannes, who was full of youthful vitality?
--Oh, Uncle Hannes. I wonder what kind of person he was...?
While doing so, Ludwig's junior, Gilbert Bouquet, bowed with one knee on the spot.
"Oh, that's not necessary." Uh, Mr. Bouquet? "
"If you don't mind, I'd be happy if you could call me Jill Vail or Jill."
"Yes. Then, Mr. Jill." Could you sit in that chair and give me a report? "
Meer then turned to Ludwig,
"Ludwig doesn't mind wondering, so I'd like you to ask him right away." I think there are a lot of things that I don't notice..... "
"Okay, but I don't think that's possible..."
Ludwig sits next to Jill, smiling bitterly. Meir also surrounded the circular table, and Gilbert's report began.
"At the behest of Senpai Ludwig, I and the two guards were searching for the House of Clausius." However, this is a long story, and there are limitations to listening to it. That's why I wanted to see a little reaction..... "
"... you've given away information that someone is exploring the House of Clausius?"
Ludwig gazed at her with a look of sight. Jill smiled bitterly and snorted.
"I didn't think it would provoke an attempted kidnapping, but... it's embarrassing." I thought if there was a reaction coming, it would be this way. ”
Meer shook her head as Jill turned around and dropped her shoulders.
"Sooner or later, Ms. Retizia is sure to have been kidnapped. It was prevented, so there was no problem. More than that, I want you to avoid putting yourself at risk.”
I can't imagine that Ludwig could match the information with someone he trusts to do his job. It is Meer who wants to avoid the foolishness of losing his precious talent because he is a yes-man.
"The enemy's greatest strength was the wolf... I thought it was a fire horse, but according to what I heard, there was someone stronger than that." I've never been too careful. "
After hearing Mia's words, Jill opened her mouth and shook her head immediately...
"Thank you for your concern." From now on, I'll try not to do anything like this. "
Besides, after returning one nod, Meer urged the continuation.
Yes. So, uh, it looks like Clausius and Hannes disappeared about 22 years ago, five years before the death of Our Lady Patricia.
"Well... it was before I was born..."
Meer convinces her that she doesn't remember anything. If we haven't even met in the first place, it can't be remembered. "Well, even if I've met you, it's a person named Meer who completely forgets what I don't care about..."
Well then, maybe the portrait there is what Sir Hannes looked like on a younger day?
When Meer asked, Jill smiled mischievously, wondering why.
No, it's like it was painted just before it disappeared.
"Just before she disappeared...?" I mean, uh, in her 40s? However, it looks like a boy..... "
"Greetings, the rumor of the cursed House of Clausius has given rise to a credibility effect, or something like that." Whatever, Sir Hannes sold his soul to the devil, so he didn't grow old and stayed young forever... I've heard rumors about the rinsing of the blood of the people to keep them young... "
And then Jill looked a little more serious.
"Thank you for your investigation. It seems that Hannes's disappearance has a thick line of assassination."
"Assassination... oh, I knew it."
Meer, sigh small, then figure out how to talk to Patty.
--If you were alive, it would still be easy to talk to me... "I wonder what I've explained..." "Oh, but if someone related to the snake assassinated him, maybe I can use that as a reason to bring Patty to my side..."
As he thought about it, Meer encouraged him to continue.
"By the way, whose hand did that assassination take place? Still a snake?"
In response to that question, Jill was ummmm, bothered...
"The culprit hasn't been captured... I mean, the assassination itself isn't definitive, but..." just..... "
And then Jill, who cuts words there.
"I'm just going to check on this, but I was wondering if the Yellow Moon were involved in this assassination."
"Well! Lord Laurenz is involved?" Huh? That means.... "
In Meer's mind, the words of the old Lorenz come to life.
We've never assassinated anyone.
"Perhaps Sir Hannes..."
And it was then. I heard a noise outside the door.
"Huh...?"
Meer shudders and shakes her shoulders. After all, it was a noisy sound that rang in the house of the cursed Clausius.
Don't be frightened, it's a terrible story...
Ludwig and Jill hurry to open the door. "Geez, I was standing there all the time..."
"... oh, Patty? Listen to what I just said..."
Patricia, with her pale face, had a bad feeling as she ran through mea...
