Chapter 40

Klaus stared at entle smile that was unlike him

“Erica, I’lad I made it here in time”

He earing a black robe above his gray clothes

There was aeffect staff in his hand

On the first glance, there were lots of spell cards inside of his robe

“T-thank you very much, Klaus-sama……!”

“You seem fine……, hm?”

Klaus glanced at me and furrowed his eyebrows

“……That’s right, Erica, you, why are you in a place like this?”

“It’s complicated More than that, how did Klaus-sama know about this place?”

Pretty sure he was doing a top secret investigation with Edward-oniisaht?

And even though the hidden passage was opened, this was the deepest part of the intricate cathedral

I wondered how did he found this place

To

“I caency Alarm”

“Alarm……huh”

I wondered if I brought it with me unintentionally

No, at that tis in or out

……By some chance, did Ann stuck the Alarm on me?

However, Ann didn’t have the chance to touch

(Aah! I see! When she shook hands with Tirnanog, did she put the ic in his hand!?)

Awesome

Did she already called reinforce and I couldn’t do this by ourselves?

Klaus was a skillful person who knocked out the le-handedly

As a reinforcement that appeared in a situation like this, no one more reliable than him

“I thought Ann was involved in soerous Because it’s about Ann, I need to be quick”

“I-I’m terribly sorry about that”

“When I said that er, that Edward i that the other investigator looked atthe same kind……what’s with this harmful rumor”

Both of theer sister, I wondered if they understood each other in that aspect

It ator was Edward-oniisama

Klaus caood fortune and people’s kindness were intertwined

He wouldn’t have been on time if the situation was a little different

I grabbed the hem of Klaus’ robe in reflex and stared at him

“Klaus-salad you came……”

Soh Klaus’ expression for a moment

He turned away curtly with a shaky

appearance

“Hm, thank Edward for that”

Oops, if I held the heht

I hurriedly let go of Klaus’ robe

“But, I want to avoid fighting h I want us to escape iirl over there your acquaintance?”

“Eh, unconscious girl……”

The only one as unconscious was Auguste, what did he mean by that?

Aah, I see

Klaus hadn’t uste yet, huh

It see hair and seely delicate appearance

“Yes, that’s right”

“Then we can’t abandon her Especially since she is a friend of my friend”

Yosh, he uste

I didn’t say a lie

I just hid the truth and tricked him

“Klaus-sama Let’s do our best to help that person!”

“Erica, you still have no sense of danger as ever”

“Yes, Ann-sama also said that”

“You don’t have such crisis erous situation again……I want to ask questions, but I will do it later That monster obviously will not wait for us”

Klaus held up his staff and took out t spell cards

On the other side across the Protective Circle, Palug was laughing in delight

『Well, how lovely Such a little knight

I a ‘I will protect you’ to me

But—』

Palug swung her claws vertically and horizontally

Cross-shaped scratches were made in the Protective Circle that was set in front of me

In an instant, the spell cards on that area were destroyed and burned out

『You are a poisonous sight for my soul, so I will have you disappear』

Klaus hurriedly launched additional spell cards and strengthened the spell by casting so

“What’s with this monster……”

“She is a phanto rant any wishes”

“What’s with that Whatever, you can talk about that later”

“Ah, yes”

“Instead, explain why exactly that the re over there”

The one thing that shouldn’t be exposed the ot exposed

Why

I wanted to lie, but it was impossible, so I had to speak honestly

“Klaus-saht?”

“I thought that you would like to bury it, I didn’t think you would

would actually unseal it!”

While speaking, Klaus gradually made the Protective Circle thicker

There were five, six, seven layers……no, eight layers on the thickest part

“Klaus-sama, wouldn’t it better to turn them into offensive power?”

“Aah, this Protective Circle is strong against mental attack, but has low defense power”

“Is this a different set of spell cards from before?”

“This one is more than 800 years old I don’t knohy, but if we’re talking about mental attack only, it seeer”

As he said, thespeed of these spell cards were somewhat slower that the ones in the Ruins of Visitor

Speaking of 800 years ago, that hen vampires were still around
