There was no time to change the location.

I heard the conversation of my companions right in front of the hole.

It must have been the day Professor Pierre caused a big uproar.

Suddenly, rumors began to pour in.

The death of Dorempa Evans.

Loss of contact with Ivar Waitanka.

Cucullis resort escape.

Upon hearing that the children were following her, I could only open my mouth in shock.

They say they escaped from the island with the help of Lucas Wellington. They are now heading north together.

Together?

For some reason, Duke Wellington also testified to the professor. I dont know what to say, he said, apologizing.

Even for Yussi, it must have been force majeure.

I sighed involuntarily.

Unexpected events overwhelmed my mind all at once.

Reflexively, I glanced around the hole.

The door made of petals was tightly closed.

Could Laplaces prophecy be referring to the current situation?

A grim prophecy that warned that if one did not realize the seasons, myself and my disciples would die at the hands of a betrayer.

I thought it spoke of events far in the future but perhaps it was a prophecy about the near future.

Blue was covering the continent earlier than scheduled.

I turned my gaze to the distant north.

At the moment, all I could see were dense trees, but the vivid image of the windy northern plateau was clear in my mind.

Dorempa is dead.

Many memories flashed through my mind like arrows.

Lets meet again, friend! Although the Great Snowy Plains are vast, the ties of fate are strong, so well meet again someday!

From my very first memory, before I started acting as Teds replacement.

Help my daughter to enjoy many things. Every intense emotion, whether small happiness or anxiety.

Even the last advice I received on the island.

Unconsciously, I wiped my face with my hand.

The texture on my palm was hard and cold.

I never thought it would be the last time.

I had thought that someday, as Dorempa said, I would see him again.

Once all this was over and peace came, I had thought about meeting him in my original form.

I wondered what we would talk about.

Does he remember me?

If he remembers, what kind of memories?

.

What came to mind next was Cucullis innocent expression.

Guilt is a strong emotion.

Despite unavoidable circumstances, ultimately it was I who brought Dorempa out of the north.

It felt like the ground under my feet was sinking deeply, as if it were about to collapse.

But-

Professor? Are you alright?

I couldnt afford to be immersed in despair.

The word Professor from Pia woke me up.

Right, I am a professor.

The caretaker of the children.

I began to question Pia again.

Tracking teams must have been formed. Can they catch up before the children reach the north?

Its uncertain I heard. Cuculli was definitely lost.

Its not good.

I bit my lips tightly.

Its too dangerous to wander around the north right now.

Dorempas death couldnt have been the work of just the remnants of the demonic church.

Something intervened in his death.

Based on the information given, the most likely thing is Ivars betrayal.

Moreover, it is said that contact with Ivar was immediately severed after Dorempas death.

Was he a traitor within the knights?

It seems highly probable.

But, it wasnt a perfect deduction.

Ivar was originally from the Great Mountain Range, a warrior who lost his homeland and family to the demons.

His burning desire for revenge and hatred had been proven on the battlefield over the past few years.

So why would someone like him suddenly switch sides and kill the Dorempa?

In the end, there are two possibilities

Either Ivar was truly a traitor.

Or he suffered a transformation like Dorempa.

For now, I consider both possibilities.

Anyway, its certain that something powerful enough to kill Dorempa lurks in the north.

I quickly set the primary goal.

Cuculli headed to the sanctuary for the baptism.

For now, I will join Cuculli and help her complete her succession and return safely.

In the process, I will also protect the other children.

And theres something else.

Pia relayed significant testimonies from Euphemia and Yusi.

But there was neither the time nor the need to focus on those who were far away.

Whats important now is to reach the north as quickly as possible, thats all.

Conversations can wait for later.

I silently turned my body northward.

The members who saw my posture all looked puzzled.

Professor? Are you planning to run?

Arent you going to use words?

Yeah, probably, but we dont know exactly why Cuculli went to the north. But one thing is for sure, she wouldnt leave quietly.

Theres probably a high probability of revenge.

So well join Cuculli for now. If she wants revenge.

Evergreens eyelids quivered once.

It was due to empathizing with her.

What if her father had passed away due to some conspiracy.

If her father had been taken by some conspiracy, what would it have been like?

The green eyes sank infinitely deep.

I wouldnt dare stop you, but I might be able to help you.

Since leaving Rosenstark, Lucas had noticed that his classmates had grown a lot.

A feeling of envy passed through the boys face along with a faint regret.

But is there a way to find Cuculli? North Hale is vast, and human power doesnt reach well. It would be unrealistic to just search by word of mouth.

Well, about that

Evergreen wrinkled her freckled nose.

She was about to call out something, and the next moment, she did.

Shadow!

A young wolf pup, who had been sniffing around in a corner of the train car, came panting towards them.

No, it wasnt a pup anymore, it was about the size of an ordinary adult wolf.

Having only glanced at it briefly, Lucas simply mistook Shadow for a pet wolf.

Its known that animals have a good sense of smell, but it wouldnt be enough to chase Cuculli in that vast territory.

Hey, hes a Rune Wolf.

Lucas tapped his knee.

The sense of smell of a Rune Wolf was very famous.

It wasnt just about having a good nose.

It had a magical ability.

The mystical creature had the conceptual power of finding engraved scents.

As Evergreen petted Shadows head, she spoke.

Remember when Shadow licked Cucullis finger with the wound at the drinking party?

Ah

Luke and Gerald, who were drunk, swallowed the rest of their words.

The rest nodded vigorously.

He will lead us to our troublesome friend.

Panting-

The moment Lucas reached out his hand with a tail wagging in front of him.

Krrrrk-

The train stopped.

Lucas tilted his head in puzzlement.

Whats going on?

Why?

I told them not to stop unless they were picking up passengers, but why did they stop?

Before Lucas could finish his sentence,

Footsteps echoed from the other end of the train corridor.

The sharp sound of military boots with a pronounced click.

Without anyone needing to say anything, the children spread out their senses.

Ban was the fastest.

Four knights and two civilians presumed to be staff.

Luke followed behind.

He had already completed his combat preparations.

Its too few to call it a pursuit team. Probably people from the Wellington family who came to catch us after receiving a communication.

Thunk-

The door to the compartment opened simultaneously.

Lucass brow furrowed as he spotted the familiar face at the front.

Master.

Step aside.

I cannot. The Duke has personally instructed me to escort you and your friends.

Do I have to decide whether to keep looking at my old mans face or face you?

If Cuculli were here, he would have said, As expected, garbage doesnt go anywhere! with a fierce look.

But the notorious troublemakers glory seemed to be completely powerless now.

I apologize.

The knight bowed his head, but he reluctantly entered the compartment.

It was then that Leciel, who had been dozing off the whole time, stood up.

Naturally, everyones gaze focused on her fluttering red hair.

A calm voice resounded.

Just four of you.

Charrurrk-

The shape shifter held in the girls hand made a metallic sound as it transformed into a blunt club.

It had a graceful curve, but everyone in the compartment was caught up in the illusion that the blade was aimed directly under their throats.

The Heart Sword, the rhythm of Hiyashins stances, nailed the knights of Wellington to the ground.

One of the knights was so startled that he muttered without thinking.

Monster.

The responsibility for this.

Leciel smiled lightly.

The grandmother who didnt eat with her even once during her vacation.

Just give it a try.

Her crimson eyes then turned to her stunned friends.

What are you doing. Is this your first train heist?

Evergreen, Ban, and Luke chuckled simultaneously.

As if.

* * *

Coincidentally, at the same time.

Cuculli, whom they were eagerly chasing, was also facing an unexpected obstacle.
