Wait until the rescue of Hanena fails, and then the two of them deal with today's lunch.

It's noon.

Because Nicole didn't have a special dining room at home, the two sat opposite each other on chairs in the living room.

"Whew-"

Taking a slight breath, Ronald took a closer look at the food in front of him.

It's not easy to eat this meal today......

Nicole does see herself as a very good friend, so the food she prepared today was quite hearty, and most of it was high-end ingredients.

But here's the problem.

She's buying real 'ingredients'!

Deep-sea fish are bought alive and put into the pool, a rare number of pheasants are directly locked in cages and thrown in the corner, and plant ingredients that need to be processed in advance are almost not processed.

The whole is a large exhibition of the original ecology of animals and plants!

Oh yes.

There is one that has been dealt with.

- has been soaked in warm water for too long.

- so much so that the cauliflower root has completely lost its taste.

To sum up, so much so that Ronald was not excited at all when facing this sumptuous lunch.

At this moment, Nicole, who grabbed a piece of barbecue and was about to bite into it, saw Ronald's expression, and immediately said:

"Ronald, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and eat."

“......”

"Okay."

Nodding, Ronald scooped a bowl of boiled fish soup in front of him, and asked as he ate:

"Nicole, let's talk about this organization now?"

Hearing Ronald's words, Nicole immediately nodded.

At this moment, the investigator girl's face was completely absent from the previous excitement, chewed a few bites of barbecue meat and swallowed her throat, she immediately spoke:

"After receiving the hint of the prophecy, I quickly conducted a covert investigation into the organization. But alas, they didn't leave any clues to follow at all. ”

"Although I also asked some companions in the Investigation Bureau, it seems that only Mr. Yakin received such a password letter when he was young, and I was wondering if only a particularly powerful young man would get the password letter of this organization, but unfortunately there has been no way to verify it."

Hearing this, Ronald pointed at himself with the spoon in his hand:

"So after I show up, you suspect that the organization will contact me?"

Nicole nodded without thinking:

"That's right."

"Isn't it because there's a high chance you've received a cipher letter today?"

"Actually, in Brenwich now, the only people I know know of are you, me, and Mr. Yakin, who have received the coded letter."

"Besides, even a veteran spellcaster like Mr. Willard hadn't seen this thing in the first place!"

Ronald nodded, indicating that he understood the other party's feelings:

"But since the number is so small......

"So that means you don't have much news here?"

Nicole picked up a piece of chicken, stuffed it into her mouth, and admitted as she chewed:

"Well, that's right."

"But my prophecy spell will never go wrong when looking for information, so this cipher letter is not just as simple as delivering a message, it must also have the meaning of an invitation letter."

Ronald began to think about the crux of this.

Nicole and herself were both fairly young spellcasters, and Mr. Yakin, who was the investigator and special engraver, had only received such coded letters when he was young.

An organization that only sends 'invitations' to young people......

What is the source of this restriction?

Is it that they are actively controlling this range, or is something influencing the condition?

And the code letter also has the meaning of an invitation letter......

Maybe cracking success is a necessary condition for passing through the invitation?

Thinking so, Ronald immediately asked:

"Nicole, those guys haven't touched you in any way since?"

"And Mr. Yakin, he received the code letter when he was younger, and nothing else happened since?"

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Nike shook her head vigorously:

"Nope."

"Mr. Yakin, when he received the code letter when he was young, he didn't pay much attention to it, and it was I who reminded him of this matter, and he remembered it."

"As for me, it's been a little over a year since I received the coded letter, and I really haven't had any other contact since then. The screening mechanism for the invitation letter is probably not to crack the password, after all, the other party has not contacted me until now. ”

With that, Nicole's eyes drifted to her plate.

When she shook her head vigorously, she unfortunately threw her hair on it, and it seemed that it was already stained with the juice left by the barbecue.

“......”

After thinking for a few seconds, the investigator girl picked up her hair and quickly brushed it with her mouth.

Then throw it behind your shoulder.

Sitting opposite Nicole, Ronald's serious attitude that was still thinking about things was instantly broken by the girl's action.

And seeing Ronald's expression, Nicole immediately explained:

"Not what you think."

"I washed my hair before I went to bed last night!"

“......”

Ronald struggled to control his expression and nodded, then lowered his head and drank the fish soup he had just scooped.

Deep-sea fish soup has a unique taste.

The most important thing is that this fish does not have the fine spines that pierce the throat.

Enjoying your own lunch at this time will at least put an end to the increasingly awkward atmosphere at the table.

The two ate tacitly for a while.

Nicole finally spoke again:

"That's right, Ronald."

"I'm actually quite skeptical about this organization."

Ronald stopped his mouth at the same time, looked up and asked:

"What do you mean?"

Nicole went on to explain:

"It's still about my spells."

"At that time, I was gambling on my life to cast spells, and I wanted to get the news of the teacher directly. However, the end result is a piece of information with a particularly high degree of bias. ”

"According to our school, this situation is quite exceptional."

Ronald raised his eyebrows, and there was a vague guess in his heart.

To be on the safe side, he began to ask again:

"What is the specific special situation?"

Nicole then explained:

"It's the strong interference of other texts."

"After all, this prophecy is the strongest spell involving many fields, and if you want to deviate from the result of my prophecy, the other party must use the same level, involving fate, or karma and other attributes to defend."

"It's like I've heard that there is one of the strongest sealing techniques, which is to lock people in a point in time and constantly experience reincarnation. Unless there is a canonical protection that also involves the nature of time, it can resist the power of this spell. Otherwise, you can only be locked in that time period forever, and there is no possibility of escape at all. ”

“......”

Ronald tilted his head subconsciously, and his eyes glanced at his right hand holding the spoon.

Even if I haven't seen or been hit by the sealing technique that Nicole said.

But he also felt a lot more relieved.
