With Jade's request, he and Ruri went to Lydia together.
When Jade told her that they are going to leave, he went to his office while Ruri headed to the garden.
Kotaro was waiting patiently with Rin on his head.
『Ruri, did you finish making the cookies?』– Kotaro
"Un." – Ruri
『We're waiting patiently.』 – Rin
Ruri smiled as she saw Kotaro wagging his tail at her, saying as if he cannot wait.
"Thanks for waiting. Here are the cookies." – Ruri
After placing it in front of Kotaro and Rin, Kotaro couldn't stop wagging his tail and Rin flew in circles with joy.
『Thank you, Ruri.』– Rin
『Our Ruri's cookies are still the best.』– Kotaro
While living with Chelsea, Kotaro didn't just eat cookies but also had several other dishes and sweets.
"Thank you." – Ruri
Such a direct compliment was different from receiving one from a stranger. It was one that would make you smile.
After Kotaro and Rin finished eating, Jade appeared.
"You sure are late, Jade… sama…?" – Ruri
She thought it was just Jade, but behind him was Euclaise, Finn and Agete.
Jade bitterly smiled at the surprised Ruri.
"Sorry, Ruri. But can you take them with us?" – Jade
"All of you? Well, there's no problem as long as you don't stay for too long, but what is happening? Finn-san is Jade-sama's bodyguard so I understand. Even if there's no danger the king still needs to be with him. But Euclaise-san?" – Ruri
"Klaus is coming, so it's fine. Actually, I originally intended to leave it to Agete but…" – Euclaise
Euclaise glanced at Agete who was right next to the door.
"You'd rather see the Spirit from the legend than to work?" – Euclaise
Agete was more excited than anyone else. He was like a child anticipating a long awaited excursion. He was even wearing a luxurious suit with a bow tie.
"Well, there will be an endless stream of people coming since it's really big, right? But it seems that staying for too long will gonna make you crazy. So, be careful, okay?" – Ruri
The people who hadn't heard of it were startled.
"I-is it going to be alright…?" – Jade
Jade asked while pulling her cheeks.
"As long as you don't stay for too long, it's going to be alright." – Ruri
Though she said that, Finn and the others looked uneasy.
Then, Ruri opened the entrance connecting to the space.
This time there were a bunch of people, so she made it bigger than usual.
"Let's go~." – Ruri
Despite the hesitation in Jade's group, Ruri hurriedly went inside the space.
Euclaise, on the other hand, wondered what to do with Agete's expression when Jade walked ahead through the entrance.
Then Finn shortly followed after.
"As long as we don't stay for too long, as Ruri said, we will be alright." – Euclaise
Though still hesitating, Euclaise turned away from Agete and disappeared through the door.
After going back to guide Euclaise in the dark, Finn followed them. Euclaise and Agete opened the door as they entered.
The space is a place where you store things in. Everyone was very curious, and afraid at the same time upon entering the mysterious place.
If it wasn't for Ruri, they might not be able to enter it for the rest of their lives.
The other side of the door was unexpectedly wide.
Though the large room showed Ruri's abundant magic, but calling it 'vast' would still be an understatement for it. Not only that, they were also struck dumb seeing a large amount of treasure that filled it.
Finn and the others, who entered after Jade, were staring blankly at it.
Jade wanted to ask various things, but Ruri was nowhere to be found.
"Lydia, I'm here to see you!" – Ruri
In the empty space, a woman, who was as transparent as a ghost, came out of nowhere.
『Welcome back, Ruri.』 – Lydia
Lydia greeted Ruri with a smile and saw Jade and his people at the back.
『Ara~ ara~ it seems like there are many guests today.』 – Lydia
"Jade-sama wanted to meet Lydia. Even if they don't have a contract, they could still stay for a little bit, right?" – Ruri
『Yes, just a little bit』 – Lydia
As Jade and others heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
『Hmm. This table seems to be small since we're bigger in number. Do you have a bigger table?』 – Lydia
『Then…』 – Lydia
