In this moment, La Folia's gaze towards Rozen was completely different from before.
If previously La Folia merely thought she had encountered an interesting individual and approached him on a whim to chat, now she felt like she had found her target.
It was as if she had been wanting to meet Rozen for a long time.
No, it was true that La Folia had been wanting to meet Rozen for a long time.
"Finally, I've met you, Minamiya Nichiyo." La Folia smiled and looked directly at Rozen, saying, "To encounter you as soon as I arrive on this artificial island, could this be fate?"
It must be said that the princess's words were quite intriguing.
Her incredibly beautiful face was showing a loving smile.
Her star-like eyes were shining brightly.
Being stared at so directly by the princess of Aldegyr, who was renowned as the reincarnation of the goddess of beauty Freya, and hearing her talk about "fate," gave one the illusion of finally meeting a lifelong partner.
Even Rozen couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment, then he raised his eyebrows.
"Could it be that your highness came to this island just to see me?"
Rozen asked with a smile.
"If I said yes, what would you do?"
La Folia immediately said mischievously.
To this...
"I would doubt everything you say from now on and not easily believe your words because you're someone who can lie with a smile."
Rozen said calmly.
"That was quite rude. Although I didn't come to this island just because of you, it's true that I wanted to see you."
La Folia's smile disappeared suddenly, replaced by a hint of anger.
"Um..." Yukina asked tentatively, "Does La Folia-sama really want to see Minamiya-sempai?"
"Yes." La Folia nodded without hesitation, saying, "I've always wanted to see him. He's not only capable of sealing even the Fourth Primogenitor within him, but also awakening the god of fault. I always wondered what kind of person he is."
In other words, La Folia's desire to see Rozen was purely out of curiosity.
"After seeing you today, it's just as rumored. You're not only unfathomable, but also very sharp and clever. I hope the Elder Council that arranges blind dates for me can broaden their horizons. If they want to introduce suitors to me, they should at least present men of this caliber to make me feel interested."
La Folia said to herself in this way.
"So, Your Highness..."
Just as Rozen was about to say something, La Folia suddenly interrupted.
"Just call me La Folia, Nichiyo." La Folia acted like a child, saying petulantly, "I'm tired of titles like Princess or Your Highness, so don't use those stiff titles to address me anymore."
Saying so, La Folia also looked at Yukina.
"You too, Yukina."
La Folia instructed, and then took the initiative to call Rozen and Yukina by their names, appearing very close.
"But... But..."
Yukina was a little hesitant.
Unlike Rozen, Yukina was a Sword Shaman from the Lion King Agency, a government attack mage. It would be possible for her to be held accountable for directly calling a foreign princess by her name from various aspects.
So, it was normal for Yukina to feel hesitant.
Unfortunately...
"Then, make a nickname for me and call me that."
La Folia clapped her hands as if she had come up with a good idea.
"Calling me 'Fou' or something like that is acceptable too, okay?"
La Folia smiled as she said so.
Upon hearing La Folia's words, Yukina immediately shivered.
"No, please forgive me for using your name, La Folia. Thank you very much for your tolerance."
Yukina accepted La Folia's previous proposal without hesitation.
Obviously, Yukina thought it more appropriate to directly address La Folia by her name rather than calling her something like "Fou."
"Is that so?" La Folia turned somewhat regretfully to Rozen and said, "What about you, Nichiyo? Do you want to try calling me that way?"
Do you even need to ask?
"Absolutely not!"
Rozen almost retorted.
Fou?
That's the name of my pet, Your Highness.
Therefore, Rozen had to decline solemnly, no matter what.
"Okay, La Folia."
Rozen sighed and resumed his inquiry.
"Why would you, as the First Princess of Aldegyr, appear on Itogami Island?"
That was the first thing Rozen thought of after recognizing La Folia's identity.
Rozen remembered what Natsuki said earlier today.
"It seems like a troublesome figure has arrived on the island."
Natsuki had said so.
"Be careful while you're on the island recently."
This advice came to Rozen's mind first thing.
(Is La Folia the troublesome figure Natsuki-nee mentioned?)
Rozen thought so.
Therefore, Rozen couldn't ignore La Folia and brought her here to talk.
Just to find out why La Folia appeared on this island.
"Me?"
The beautiful smile on La Folia's face slowly faded, replaced by a look of annoyance and melancholy.
After a while, La Folia seemed to have made a decision and looked at Rozen and Yukina.
"I'm actually here to find someone."
La Folia informed them.
"Find someone?"
Rozen was slightly taken aback.
"Find someone?"
Yukina was also puzzled.
In this situation, La Folia asked both of them a question.
"Do you know a place called Adelard's Monastery?"
La Folia's question elicited different reactions from Rozen and Yukina.
"A monastery?"
Yukina was somewhat confused.
On the other hand, Rozen furrowed his brows and asked skeptically, "Why are you looking for that place?"
At this, La Folia leaned forward.
"Do you know where that monastery is, Nichiyo?"
La Folia's expression was a mix of surprise and anticipation.
"I do."
Rozen scratched his cheek.
Rozen was indeed familiar with a place called Adelard's Monastery.
The reason was simple.
"That's a church located on the mountains behind our school. It's been abandoned for five years."
Rozen revealed this information.
"I hadn't started attending Saikai Academy yet when it was abandoned. By the time I entered Saikai Academy and was in my first year of junior high, it had already been abandoned for one or two years because there was a big accident there, as many people in the school mentioned, so I remembered it."
In summary, Rozen knew about this place.
This made La Folia look at Rozen with a serious expression and gaze.
"Could you please take me there?"
La Folia requested with utmost seriousness.
Seeing this, Rozen stared at La Folia for a moment.
Then, Rozen nodded.
