The speed at which the casters can deliver information.

Certainly much faster than a train running on railroad tracks.

So when Ronald took Kostadt and Il, got off the train at the Brenwich train station.

On the platform, Patricia and several investigators waited early.

Ronald didn't even have to guess to know that it must have been the Black Mountain Town Investigation Bureau that passed the news to Brenwich.

“……”

"Ronald, I'm glad you're here in Bronwich!"

Among the people who greeted them on the platform, Patricia naturally stepped forward to say hello, after all, she had the best relationship with Ronald among the people present.

And face this friend of yourself.

Ronald, of course, can't be cold.

also returned a smile, and while getting closer to Patricia, Ronald told the other party his intention straight to the point:

"Patricia, I have some business to attend to the south."

"So this time the fleet going to sea, I may have to take a 'hitchhike'."

Patricia immediately expressed what Burrenwich meant:

"Ronald, we welcome this!"

“……”

Since he knew in advance that Ronald had gone to Brenwich, he naturally wouldn't feel uncomfortable for a strong man like him.

Before the train arrives, everything is in place.

So after the two met, the mutual greetings ended, and Patricia took Ronald and the three of them directly to the place prepared in advance.

While on the way, Patricia sat in the carriage and began to tell Ronald what he didn't know before. This is information that only those who have confirmed that they want to join the overseas team will be eligible to know.

"Ronald, there are a total of three ships prepared in the port of Bronwich for this voyage."

"One of them was undertaken by the church and carried their personnel, while the other two were supplied entirely by Bronwich."

Ronald asked curiously:

"The two ships on Brunwich's side shouldn't all be investigators, right?"

"Of course." Patricia nodded in acknowledging Ronald's conjecture, "One of these two ships is full of spellcasters working for Grede, while the other is a mix of investigators and some casters who have shown kindness to Greed. ”

"So I'm going to be on this ship?" Ronald immediately understood his arrangements for this expedition.

"Theoretically, yes, but if you have plans to take another boat, we're not going to stop you." Patricia continued to nod in acknowledgement, but at the same time revealed Grad's liberal attitude towards Ronald.

After all, I really want to strictly manage an existence like Ronald

Based on the realities of the situation, this kind of thing is too difficult to implement.

“……”

Receiving such a reply, Ronald naturally nodded with satisfaction.

Confirming his arrangements for the fleet, he shifted the conversation to the detailed departure date:

"Patricia, what about the exact time of departure of the fleet?"

"To the outside world, of course, it will be a week later." Patricia first announced an official date, but then lowered her voice to Ronald and said, "But our actual departure date is three days later, before the sun rises. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, all the participants had to get on their boats and leave the harbor before the sun rose. ”

Ronald smiled noncommittally:

"It's obviously an official action, but do you have to lie about a date to the outside world?"

In the face of Ronald's complaints, Patricia's expression was also a little helpless:

"If it were me who decided the departure date, of course there would be no such superfluous behavior. But that's what Springs thought about the planners of this voyage, and the others had to follow orders. ”

Ronald followed with emotion:

Gu: "In this way, it is not easy on your side. ”

“……”

The rest of the journey was smooth sailing.

However, when he saw the residence arranged for himself by Bronwich, Ronald was inevitably a little excited.

- is Mrs. Hudson's apartment for rent.

Although he only lived for three days, Brunwich obviously took into account his feelings and helped him book a residence here.

Especially when the door of the apartment is opened, I see the landlord's figure that seems to have not changed.

Ronald couldn't control his emotions and enthusiastically stepped forward and shook the other party's hand:

"Mrs. Hudson, long time no see!"

"Yes, Mr. Ronald. The last time we met, it was about a year ago. ”

The landlady apparently didn't forget about her tenant because of the passage of a year. After greeting Ronald with a smile, she looked at Kostadt and Il, who were behind Ronald with subtle eyes.

"And...... Mr. Ronald, it seems that your experience in this year has also been quite rich. ”

"Not only did Miss Patricia rent my apartment for you, but now she brought such a lovely and energetic girl with you?"

“……”

Patricia's words are forgotten.

It's just that when Ronald heard Mrs. Hudson tease Kostadt and Il, his expression was a little uncontrollable.

"Mrs. Hudson, this is really a misunderstanding!"

"They...... The two of them ......"

At this point, Ronald's tone was still a little hesitant.

After all, in his impression, this landlady was still the generous old man at the beginning, and she didn't know much about the mysterious side of things.

However, after thinking that these wizards had begun to proclaim their existence throughout the Grad territory, Ronald finally explained bluntly:

"Mrs. Hudson, you should know about the wizards who have risen up lately, right?"

The landlady immediately understood what Ronald meant:

"So these two lovely young ladies are those powerful people who can use spells?"

Ronald nodded, then stated in an accentuated tone:

"They're not even human!"

“……”

Even an elder like Mrs. Hudson was momentarily wide-eyed at such an answer.

He looked at Kostat and Il in disbelief.

In the end, through the utterly extraordinary beauty of these two fellows, Mrs. Hudson reluctantly accepted this reality:

"Really...... It's amazing. ”

"Mr. Ronald, I have other tenants here, and if you can, please don't make too troublesome noises these days."

"Don't worry, I won't bother other other customers!" Ronald hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

Then he sent away the officers of the Investigation Bureau who had brought him here.

Returning to the room where Costadt and Ill had lived, Ronald sat down on his familiar bed, reminiscing about the past.

Haruka thinks about the first time when she came into this world.

It was in this room that I gradually got to know the world and made my friends......
