After returning to their abode with Lara, Demian immediately went down to the underground maze to check the magic circle.

“Acerus is curious.”

“It’s still a secret.”

“The sorcerers may faint with their eyes open when they see this. Following the long-distance magic receiver, Valentine even made a magic circle for long-distance travel.”

“Shh, I told you it’s a secret.”

Lara was planning to secretly install Valentine’s magic circle on the Eastern border and the capital of Hautean. It had already been installed at the ruin on the Eastern border that Demian and Barbarians occupied, so as soon as Valentine made one more magic circle, Lara would ask the wolves to take it to Hautean. The location was decided to be the riverside manor owned by Isadora.

“Look at this first.”

Lara sat Demian down and brought a paper on one side. On top of it was a drawing of a skull covering its eyes.

“On the altar you discovered, were the demon worshippers wearing this symbol?”

“Yeah, this one.”

“Vassago.”

“Is that his name?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t worry. Most of the altar was incomplete and their ceremony fell through because of us.”

“Then, he must still be in hell.”

“I’m sure he’s looking for a chance to come this way, but don’t  worry.”

“How can I not worry?”

“I’m going to catch that too.”

Demian smiled and said. Lara could not help but smile at his light way of speaking, it was as if he was just talking about bringing a pretty butterfly somewhere.

“I think I need to go over there for a while. I threw Oscar into the wall when he blocked me from coming here. He must be very upset.”

“You guys get along well.”

“Am I not already getting along with him well enough?”

“By throwing him into the wall?”

“As long as he doesn’t get a nosebleed. He doesn’t like getting one because it’s embarrassing.”

Demian smiled lightly and stood on the magic circle. With a long spell, he slowly disappeared.

Lara had a short wash and changed her clothes while waiting for Demian. Konny nagging about how staying up all night being bad for her health followed her like a spring breeze. She listened to Konny’s voice in one ear and passed out the other. Lara came back to the basement only after having a simple breakfast. And there, she found Lampion with a pale face as if he had witnessed a ghost.

“Lampion?”

Lampion suddenly raised one hand and slapped himself as hard as he could while screaming.

“This is a scam! This is an illusion! This is just a dream! This is a lie! This is an ominous nightmare! Wake up! Wake up right now, o’ brave Barbarian!”

Lampion’s voice was so loud that the underground maze rang loudly.

The next one was Oscar. Oscar was a little better than Lampion. He showed his frightened face in a four-legged position above the magic circle, but as soon as he saw Lara, he jumped up and greeted her as if nothing was wrong.

“Hello.”

“Well, hello.”

“I wasn’t like that because I’m scared. I just don’t trust magic. I’m totally not scared.”

The last one was Domino. In a short time, he took a bunch of wildflowers near the ruin where the Barbarians were staying and gave them to Lara, who stood in front of the magic circle. Then, he barely caught his gasping breath and said.

“Huff, huff… This is from Demian. Even though we were the one who plucked it, anyway, this is from him.”

“Thank you.”

“Lampion asked me to tell you, if someone bothers you, don’t forget to write down their names in your notebook.”

“Will he scold them on my behalf?”

“He said he can just put the notebook in Demian’s pocket…”

Lara burst into laughter with a loud voice.

The Barbarians could not be away for long as the Eastern demon worshippers gathered together to keep a lookout for them. But when they returned, Lara gave them a lot of delicious snacks. Finally, she got out of the underground maze and went up the abode with Demian, who appeared last.

On that day, after taking a little rest, Demian and Lara immediately went to visit Isadora and had lunch together.

When Isadora heard Demian say that he had to go see Lara’s mother first, she gave him pocket money with a very satisfied face. Lara saw Demian pack the gold coin pouch with a satisfied look. Dumbfounded, she asked him.

“Are you here to get pocket money from my mom?”

“Nope.”

“Yeah, right.”

“I’m not.”

“How much did you get?”

“2,000 gold.”

After eating with Isadora, they returned to the abode and memorized the road of the underground maze. It would be a big problem if someone found that place so Demian discussed together with Valentine and worked on a plan to either use artifacts to cast a spell on the maze or to totally block the entrance and enter through other ways.

As a result, it was already night. Lara stared at Demian, who was lying down on her bed and stroking his stuffed stomach.

“Why did you eat so much?”

“Konny keeps telling me to eat this and that.”

“Did you have to eat it all?”
