“…”
Riley felt sorry for Nainiae. He directed his gaze away while whistling.
“And?”
“Pardon?”
“Other than that, didn’t you do one more thing wrong? I think it would be best for you if you thought hard about this.”
Nainiae discovered that Sera’s eyes were burning in flames. The look on Nainiae’s face looked like she was asking Riley why Sera was acting this way. Nainiae stared at Riley.
“Ah, the book in such a place…”
Riley was not looking at Nainiae in the eyes. He found a book that was rolling around on the ground. He picked it up and try to act like he was busy with something else.
“… Nainiae!!”
“Uuu… Yes!”
Because of Sera’s shouting, Nainiae stiffened her shoulders and responded.
“Don’t you think you have become careless while Mr. Ian is away?”
“T… That is…”
“You should have done something, even magic!”
“However, Ms. Walla said… She said it is against the rules to use magic while handling maid work, so…”
“Uuuuuuuum?! Are you saying you did the right thing?”
“N… No… That is…”
“You can’t even tell if Young Master has a cold or an allergy?”
“… Pardon? What are you talking about?”
A question mark floated up on Nainiae’s face. Sera was shaking the broom that she was holding. She looked infuriated. Sera quickly walked to Nainiae and extended her hand.
“Come follow me for a bit.”
“Ah… M… Ms. Sera! Wait! What was that about? Young Master has allergy?”
Nainiae’s wrist was grabbed by Sera. As Nainiae was dragged to the outside of the library, she extended her hand out toward Riley.
“Young Master? Young Master!”
“A…. Aaachhhhh!!”
Riley had been avoiding her gaze. He opened his mouth big and coughed out loudly.
“…”
“…”
Nainiae was being dragged away by Sera. It seemed that Nainiae was shocked. She was speechless. Riley, who was avoiding her gaze, also didn’t say anything.

“…”
Nainiae returned to the library after being scolded big time by Sera. She pouted all the way out as she sat on the sofa.
“Ah, I said I’m sorry.”
“You could have notified me through Telepathic messaging.”
“It didn’t occur to me.”
“…”
Riley smiled nonchalantly. Nainiae ballooned up her cheek and put on a pissed look.
“Hey. Last time, you thought about floating magic very late while we were climbing Andal’s mountain and that put me through a tough time.”
“…”
“Let’s just say we are even.”
Although Riley was the one who said it, even he thought that was ridiculously shameless. Riley broke out in a cold sweat in the rear of his head.
“… Ugh.”
Nainiae sighed.
It seemed she had been seriously scolded by Sera.
“All right. I know that Ms. Sera… didn’t scold me because she hates me.”
It seemed that she was scolded badly. Although she was saying that, Nainiae was in tears. Riley was feeling awkward about this. He scratched the back of his head.
“Still, I’m glad you came back soon.”
“… You worked hard.”
Nainiae wiped off the tears around her eyes. She looked happy. Riley looked sorry and said Nainiae had worked hard. He then started explaining in detail about what had happened in Asyrium.
“At Ansyrium… Abyss was there?”
“Yes.”
Nainiae was having a hard time believing this and asked. Riley nodded.
“I think it is caused by the fact that he died almost at the same time and through the same method with me in the past life.”
Riley explained to Nainiae about the Demon Lord who had been reborn in this world with his abilities and memories intact just like Riley. He then also explained about the Six Parts that Abyss proposed.
“Six parts?”
“That’s right.”
The plan was that Riley and Abyss will gather Six Parts and send them to the other side where Helena was at, using the same method.
“I wanted to ask for your thoughts on this.”
Nainiae was sitting on the sofa. Riley presented her with a paper that had something written on it. He moved his chin to say she should check it.
“… Um?”
Nainiae looked at the paper and saw the names that were written there.
“Young Master, this is…”
