Lucia happily gave a pat on the back, and then looked at with excitent. She loudly remarked, "You're amazing, Travor!"
She didn't seem to realise what just happened. To the contrary, she felt as though I did sothing good that allowed us to do sothing us friends and comrades, "Travor, you're truly amazing. How did you figure out so much? I didn't say anything, so how did you know?"
I looked at Lucia. As I headed back, I replied, "Simple. Although I may seem amazing to you, the truth is, you might think it was nothing special once I explained it to you."
Because I was in a good mood, I was eager to talk more. At the sa ti, seeing the way Lucia looked at satisfied my vanity. I looked into the darkness with glee and smiled, "First of all, Achilles, which is the rchant, ca here. When he first arrived, I didn't think about this. Then the chapel arrived. They signed a completely pointless agreent with , which made suspicious. Why would they sign an agreent that has nothing to support them? As a matter of fact, it could negatively impact them. Normally speaking, signing an agreent should allow you to gain sothing, not suffer losses; therefore, I considered the possibility of the chapel having sothing else in mind. In order to proceed with plans, one must have a stable environnt to do so. That's when I thought about Angelina running between the chapel and the rchant.
I suspected that there was an issue between the rchant and chapel. Then, you ca to and shared your flavouring. In turn, my suspicion grew. Who goes around carrying flavouring with them wherever they go? All of my queries made sense once I associated you three. You provide the goods. The chapel provides the channel. anwhile, the rchant conducts the trade. That makes for a perfect chain of operations. By that point, I understood what was going on, but lacked evidence.
That was when Angelina ca to our place. She lingered when she noticed the flavouring. That, to , was a sign that she knew about the flavouring and didn't expect us to also have so. That pieced everything together for . The next thing I did was have you two et, which gave the chance to enact my plan to set up an appropriate eting."
"That's it?" asked Lucia. By the ti I finished long explanation, I had arrived at the door. Lucia looked at with great astonishnt, "You didn't do anything, but stay ho, yet were able to deduce everything? You didn't infiltrate or interrogate anyone? It was that simple?"
"I'm no soldier How am I supposed to infiltrate or interrogate Moreover, the war has ended. I can't use those ans I'm just an ordinary man. Secrets are in people's minds; however, minds are worn on one's face. My job is to discern the secrets hiding behind one's expressions. There are no idiots in this world. Everybody acts for their own gains. There will never be anyone who gives up his own profits unless they're abandoning smaller profits for bigger ones. Hence, I also took into consideration what the bigger profit the rchant and chapel stood to gain was."
Lucia looked slightly disappointed. I smiled, "I told you, didn't I? It looked as though I could see through everything, but in reality, I just deliberated what everyone was doing and would do. Providing a reasonable explanation for actions will usually lead to the correct answer."
I pressed my hand onto the door handle. I looked at Lucia and smiled, "If it's all right with you, do you want to co back for so tea?"
"Travor, you truly are the sa as an owl, surveying the entire dark forest as if it was dayti. You know of everything that happens inside the forest."
With her eyes on , Lucia suddenly grabbed hold of my hand, consequently giving a fright. Because of her excitent, her eyes looked particularly excited in the night. She looked at an exclaid, "Travor! Travor! You really are so amazing! You didn't do anything, yet had everything in the palm of your hands! You really are the smartest person I've ever t! You're totally worthy of the na!! With this, I think we elves will need your help! If it's possible, I hope that you can help us attain the freedom we have always desired!"
I looked at Lucia with surprise. She, on the other hand, looked at absolutely seriously. She loudly exclaid, "I need you!! Travor!! I need you to co to ! I want you to help ! We elves need you!"
Before I could respond, an ice-cold blade was violently thrust through the wooden door and straight through the gap between our faces. I dawdled for a mont. I saw my dumbfounded reflection on the tal blade. It took a few seconds before I realised what happened. Once I did, I leapt away with a shriek. Lucia, too, dallied for a mont. Before I could regain my balance, the door violently swung open. Veirya ca out from inside, grabbed my collar with one hand and pulled over into her tight embrace. She held up against her body with her right hand while holding her sword in her left. She coldly looked at Lucia, "This is my property, Lucilia. We are friends, aren't we?"
Lucia looked at Veriya with astonishnt. She took a step back and drew her dagger by her side, "Veirya! What are you doing?! Of course, we're friends!"
"Then, you can't steal from your friend, Lucilia. This is my property. The day you want to steal him. Will be the day we fight to the death."
Veirya coldly looked at Lucia. While the two were close comrades, Veirya wasn't willing to back down a single step when it ca to . She had no plans of letting out. Lucia looked a Veirya and took another step back. She replied, "Fine, fine, fine, I won't steal him; I won't steal him. With that said, Veirya, as with last ti, I truly need Travor this ti. The elves need him right now! We elves need freedom! We need better future! Veirya! I promise to return him to you in one piece, so lend him to !"
Veriya looked at . Then, she hugged even tighter. She showed no signs of releasing . I wasn't averse to going to Lucia's place for a while. Plus, it might be quite nice there. Leah would probably like it. Veirya, however, didn't let speak. She resolutely shook her head, "He is. Very Important to . So, no lending."
"Veirya!! We really need him!"
"No."
Veirya resolutely shook her head. Then, she yanked inside before loudly shutting the door. Next, she turned her head around to look at . She pressed up against the wall, and then leaned her face in close. Voice cold, she, "You're not allowed. To go anywhere. I don't allow you. To leave with anyone, understood?"
"I get it. I get it."
"Good."
Veirya suddenly leaned her face in closer, and our teeth touched again. The impact rendered my brain numb again.
I don't know what happened.
'Is this so sort of praise from Veirya?'
