For the past three hours, Beatrice studied the Logic core of the Information cube.
As Beatrice's finger touched the tiny Logic Core on her desk, the small frown that she previously had on her face deepened.
"This doesn't make any sense," mumbled Beatrice, staring at the core in front of her.
Unlike what Beatrice previously expected, the more she studied and understood the logic core, the more things seemed wrong with it.
After thinking for a few more minutes, Beatrice placed the logic core back into her desk before getting up from the desk and slightly stretching her body.
"Maybe I should get some a little more mouldable," mumbled Beatrice as she fell into thought.
...
Later that day, inside of a certain town,
Staring at the little girl, who was peacefully sleeping in a cage, seemingly unaware of her surroundings, a small smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
"So will you buy her? You can see that I gave you a reasonable price," asked a middle-aged man, looking at Beatrice with some expectation visible on his face.
Not responding to the words of the middle-aged man, Beatrice stretched out her hand towards the cage, easily bypassing the lock and opening it.
A moment later, Beatrice picked up the still sleeping girl, causing the expression of the middle-aged man to finally change.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to move toward Beatrice, he suddenly froze, as his entire body began melting a moment later.
Sometime later, Beatrice could be seen walking out of the slave marked with a little girl in her hands before suddenly stopping at a corner, feeling a gaze suddenly land on her.
For the first time in half a year, a serious expression appeared on Beatrice's face.
Right now, Beatrice felt an insane bloodlust be directed at her.
"Stalking someone isn't very nice, you should stop hiding in the shadows, whoever you are," said Beatrice, causing her to hear a small chuckle before a figure suddenly appeared not far away from her.
As Beatrice stared at the girl, who looked around her own age, the frown on her face deepened.
Although through bloodlust alone, Beatrice wasn't able to feel it, as soon as she saw her opponent, Beatrice instantly knew what sort of person her opponent actually was.
'She's insane,' thought Beatrice, letting out a silent sigh of frustration in the process.
Even if they were more powerful than her, Beatrice wasn't afraid of most opponents in the slightest, as long as they were rational.
Rather, irrational opponents frightened Beatrice quite a bit more, as most of them would disregard their own safety just to attack their opponent.
'It looks like this one is after something,' thought Beatrice as stared at her unmoving opponent, unwilling to make the first move.
"So, what are you after, I am not unreasonable, I am willing to negotiate," said Beatrice, interrupting the stare of the woman.
"It seems as though he's still alive," thought Ella as she looked at the white-haired mage in front of her, breathing a silent sigh of relief.
Although Ella did not physically see her brother, as she stared at the white-haired mage, she could detect that her brother had been in close contact with her not long ago.
If, in fact, her brother was dead, Ella wouldn't be here right now, as she wouldn't be so leisurely right now.
"I'm looking for a little boy, I know he is in your possession," said Ella, causing a huge frown to appear on Beatrice's face.
Hearing the words of the unknown mage, a single thought couldn't help but enter Beatrice's mind.
'This is quite a coincidence, too big of a coincidence,' thought Beatrice as she looked at the mage standing opposite of her.
Not long ago, Beatrice had decided to wipe Elias' memories, and now, not long after, someone came to look after him, whoever created this coincidence was way too blatant.
After all, there was no way that all of this was a coincidence, right?
...
Three days later, inside of an inn room.
At this moment, Ella was sitting down on a chair, holding a relatively large bag in her hands, staring at the door to the room.
Time passed, minute after minute, and eventually two hours passed, causing Ella to begin thinking that the other party had abandoned the deal.
Suddenly, faint footsteps sounded through the hallway, slowly but surely approaching the room.
Hearing the footsteps, which were obviously trying to warn her that someone was coming, Ella's frown slightly eased.
A moment later, the white-haired mage suddenly walked into the room and stared at Ella.
Seeing this, Ella suddenly threw the large bag in her hands toward the mage, only for it to stop mid-air.
"That should be all of them, you can count them if you want," said Ella, as she continued staring.
'She killed even more people since our last people, probably even mages so as to obtain the elemental stones necessary for the deal,' thought Beatrice as she silently weighed the elemental stone bag in her hands.
Beatrice then got out of the doorway, and stepped into the hall alongside the bag, letting a figure slowly float into the room.
Without any warning, Ella suddenly tightly hugged her brother, staring into the hallway at the same time.
"It's better that you are gone," mumbled Ella breathing a sigh of relief as she looked at the empty hall.
If that mage dared to stay in her presence after she had her brother back, Ella did not know if she could restrain herself like before.
After that, Ella turned her attention back to her little brother.
"Don't worry little Elias, sister will protect you from now," mumbled Ella as she continued hugging her brother.
...
As Beatrice stared at the bag of elemental stones sitting in the middle of her room, thoughts couldn't help but swirl around her mind.
"This coincidence is really too troublesome," mumbled Beatrice as she touched her forehead.
Although in the end, Beatrice did benefit from the coincidence, something really didn't sit right with her.
