Ronald's eyes sank.

Heloise immediately sensed the change.

Putting down her undried hair, the girl turned around and walked to her desk, then looked at the map of Springs that Ronald had just marked.

“……”

Ronald made it clear that the alchemical symbol of 'Brimstone' was attached to the map in black ink.

Her gaze fell on it, and Heloise naturally saw the shape of the mark.

However, unlike Ronald, who is familiar with Earth culture, Heloise could guess that it was a meaningful figure, but she couldn't tell what it meant.

After thinking for a few seconds, the girl took the initiative to ask:

"Ronald, what do you see out of this?"

"Heloise, remember the time we went to sea because of a typhoon? What do you think of that volcano, the Bureau of Investigation...... No, it should be said that the official forces on the side of the Springs really have dealt with those problems? ”

"The volcano?"

Hearing Ronald's questioning, a hint of surprise flashed across Heloise's face.

At least in her eyes, the official power of the Springs is still fine, even if the problem is a volcano, with enough manpower, it is unlikely to pose a threat to the Springs.

But this is, after all, Ronald's own inquiry.

After carefully analyzing the current situation in the city, Heloise continued to speak after reaching a conclusion:

"I don't think there's a problem."

"This is Springs, the city under the direct command of the Queen! Dealing with such a situation can only be regarded as a trivial matter. Besides, I don't see any special significance in this symbol...... Wait a minute! Ronald: Do you know anything extra? ”

“……”

"Is this a keen sixth sense peculiar to spy workers?"

"That's what you think~~"

Seeing that Heloise immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

Ronald shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't want to hide it. After all, the girl in front of him is his most trusted partner at the moment. Pressing his finger on the pattern drawn on the map, he immediately explained:

"This symbol, in fact, has the meaning of symbolizing sulfur."

"Last time under the destroyed island, why don't we just ......"

Heloise immediately understood Ronald's thoughts.

She did not completely accommodate Ronald's meaning, but directly interrupted Ronald, and then put forward her own different opinions:

"Ronald, your association is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

"It's not just volcanoes that have sulfur in this world. Maybe it's the spells of this group of cultists, or something else that has something to do with brimstone? ”

While telling his own opinion.

Heloise walked around her desk and sat generously on Ronald's lap. Shaking her body from side to side to change into a comfortable position, she no longer dragged the bath towel in her right hand, and just stuck it directly to Ronald's hand.

"Of course, I'm not trying to veto your idea entirely."

"Although most of these cult warlocks have some problems in their brains, it is impossible for them to make some meaningless choices in this kind of thing, as long as you really don't misunderstand the meaning of this symbol, then try it in the direction related to sulfur, and you should have some gains."

“……”

Heloise had a point, and Ronald felt that she was right.

But if this matter is simply exposed, he always feels that something is not right.

Now the alchemical symbol of the sulfur has been found by itself, but does that mean that it is no longer a problem?

"This ......"

"I'm a little uneasy, but I'm still not at ease."

Gently pressing his chin against Heloise's hair, Ronald felt the moisture on the girl's body that had not yet dissipated, and then expressed his thoughts in a slow tone:

"Heloise, you also know that the situation in the city has become more and more complicated lately, and no one can guarantee that their environment is safe. I understand that this association is indeed a bit far-fetched, but it is inevitable that there will be some worries in my heart. ”

“……”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Heloise, who was sitting on Ronald's lap, burst out laughing.

Hearing this, how could Heloise, who had lived together for so long, not hear Ronald's true thoughts.

So he jumped directly from Ronald's lap, and the girl walked to the door first and threw over the coat that Ronald had taken off earlier, and then went into the bedroom to change her clothes.

"Understood, understood, in short, I just don't feel at ease."

"Actually, it's easy to do, let's go out and have a look together, won't we?"

"Here they can't tear the space and toss out a monster, as long as the two of us act together, what can't be solved?"

Ronald's hearing was astonishing.

Listening to Heloise's whispered muttering mixed with the sound of getting dressed, and the other party's crisp and neat decision, he scratched his hair with some embarrassment.

Heloise's decision really hit Ronald's point.

What he had been hesitating about was whether to meddle with it again.

Now that Heloise took the initiative to help him make a decision, Ronald naturally couldn't continue to hesitate.

Slowly got up from his chair and put on the coat that Heloise had thrown over.

Before going out for the second time tonight, Ronald's eyes fell on a map of downtown Springs for the last time.

"Industrial Zone, Border Forest Area, Commercial Zone, Riverside Zone, Port Area, ......"

Since I'm going to go out for this trip.

Then it's always right to go straight to the most important place for cultists.

The 'sulfur' pattern drawn on the map is a symmetrical left and right shape, but different up and down.

According to what Ronald learned during this time, this large-scale mystical side ritual will set the central altar close to the center, which is designed to facilitate the fastest gathering of magic power, and the effect of the ritual can also be quickly fed back to the surroundings.

For Ronald, the result is that the scope of the investigation is much narrower.

After a certain degree of precision, the central area of this ceremony happened to be in the commercial area where Ronald worked before!

Isn't that a coincidence?

Ronald was quite familiar with the place.

Every day, even if he excludes the commute to work, he will wander back and forth around the business district for afternoon tea and fishing, and his familiarity with the terrain is like his own back garden!

Faced with the rare good news, Ronald immediately shouted to the bedroom:

"If the other party wants to act, the core location should be near the business district."

"It's not too far from here, so let's walk, shall we?"

"Absolutely." The girl's voice immediately came from the bedroom, "But if I come back tonight, I won't be going to take a shower." ”

“……”

Ronald heard the other party's ridicule, and immediately spoke back:

"Whatever you want!"
