Valentine came to Lara’s room. For the past few days, he had walked fluttering like a pinwheel. He also had not been listening to Lara when she advised him to take a rest, nor to Konny when she told him to take better care of his meals. All of it was the result of only focusing on relics and records found underground.

“Milady, umm… If I just say it, you might not believe me… I think…”

“Just say it. I will believe everything you say, Valentine.”

“Hmm, about that…”

Valentine blushed and twisted his body. Konny waited for his next words with Lara, and eventually, she screamed.

“Oh, so frustrating! Can’t you just spit it out?”

“I, I made a magic circle for long-distance travel.”

“I see. So you made a magic circle… Wait what?”

Lara smirked. Konny did not understand what he was saying at all.

“Magic circle what?”

“My, my apologies! Entrusting me with the relics underground would have meant to interpret the old records, but I was blinded by greed… The black magic book that I have never seen before… I kept looking at the records of elemental magic that I thought had long since disappeared…”

“Wait, wait a second. Valentine?”

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me one more time? What did you make?”

Lara sprang up from the chair. Valentine faced her scarlet eyes from the front and opened his mouth as if possessed.

“A magic circle for long-distance travel.”

“Oh my God.”

A magic circle for long-distance travel was a miraculous device that allowed someone to travel a long distance in one go after setting up two magic circles at the designated places.

If someone else had said that, Lara would get angry and tell them not to lie. If they want to commit fraud, at least do it with something believable. It might be better to just say that a dragon appeared in the sky and was vomiting fire.

However, Lara knew that Valentine would not lie to her carelessly, because she was Valentine’s savior and patron.

“It’s true. I know it’s hard to believe, so to show you, milady, I set up magic circles in the basement of this abode and in my workroom. But… because it was dangerous, at first, I moved an inanimate object, then plants, then yesterday, I even succeeded in moving pigeons and rabbits.”

“Valentine.”

“Hmm, because I can’t just take anyone to do the experiment, I’m going to do it myself. So, milady… please.”

Valentine bowed his head toward Lara.

“Please come and see if the magic circle I made works properly.”

“Of course.”

Lara nodded vigorously. She could do anything at Valentine’s request.

“Let’s go right away. I want to be the first person in the world to see Valentine’s great work.”

“Me too, I want to go too! …I can go too, right? Valentine!”

Lara, who had always been calm, rushed out to the hallway. Konny ran after her, pulling Valentine’s hand.

The magic circle Valentine made was in the basement of the abode. It was an old study, a place sealed by the High Priests to hide the traces of black magic in the Temple of Glory.

Lara and Konny went down to the basement and stood in front of a complex painting. It was the magic circle drawn by Valentine over a long period of time.

A smoothly processed stone was placed on the floor. It was a stone that reflected everything around it like a mirror. On top of it, numerous lines, symbols, and unknown characters were strangely intertwined to form a large circle, like a carriage wheel.

“What’s all this?”

Lara asked. Konny shook her head excitedly and circled around the magic circle.

“I don’t understand anything written here. I think my brain will get bigger just by looking at it.”

“What should I do now?”

Valentine told Lara to stand a step away from the magic circle.

“I will go to my workroom, activate the magic circle there, and then transport myself back here…”

“But then me and Konny will have to wait a while, right?”

It would take a long time for Valentine to go to his workroom. Even if he rode a carriage, it would not be that short of a time.

“I’m really sorry. I don’t have any intention to take away your time…”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Lara reached out to Valentine.

“Let’s go together.”

“Par, pardon?”

“It’ll take too long. Let’s just use the magic circle here and go to your workroom together.”

“But it’s dangerous.”

“Isn’t it also dangerous for you, Valentine? You said you’ve succeeded with rabbits and pigeons.”

“Even so…”
