As they returned to the residence, it was almost late at night. Since Ram had left the Sanctuary with the villagers, Garfiel stayed behind and took charge of the food, clothing, and daily life of the remaining people.
Before Ayanokouji returned, Garfiel was told to prepare dinner. Although he was a little impatient, he couldn't go against his word. In fact, he was quite positive that dinner had been prepared, and his work was pretty good.
Everyone sat around the dinner table, talking about the trial they had just gone through.
Emilia recounted what happened during the trial, but she didn't tell everything. Instead, she only mentioned that this trial was related to the past, and there would be two more trials after this one.
"Was the first trial related to the past?" Ayanokouji pretended to think.
Not only did he already know the form of the trial, but he also knew the details in Emilia's memory.
"Yes!" Emilia nodded enthusiastically. Ayanokouji was the one who told her earlier that there might be more than one possibility for the trial.
"Since the theme of the first trial was the past, then the themes of the next trials are most likely 'present' and 'future'." Ayanokouji then pretended to analyze the possible forms and contents of the next trials.
"That's right, the possibility is very high!" Emilia said with a sudden realization, and then asked curiously, "But Kiyotaka, how did you guess that there might be multiple trials?"
"It's not a guess, it's just that I couldn't rule out this possibility, so I've considered it." Ayanokouji said very calmly.
On the other hand, Roswaal kept smiling and said nothing.
Among the people present, except for Roswaal, no one suspected that Ayanokouji had actually gone through the trial.
After everyone had talked for a while, the food was almost finished. Garfiel was responsible for cleaning up, while the others went back to their rooms to rest.
"Kiyotaka... Can you come to my room later?" Emilia's face turned slightly red and she asked softly.
"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded, then followed Emilia to her room.
"Actually... During the trial... I saw many other things..." Emilia recounted everything.
Ayanokouji had already seen all of this, but he didn't show it.
He reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder in a hugging position.
Emilia's face immediately flushed red, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"...Mom, she..."
Leaning against Ayanokouji's embrace, Emilia finally found someone to talk to and pour out her feelings, she cried and her tears soaked his clothes.
She first unconsciously grabbed his hand, then hugged him tightly.
Ayanokouji also hugged her at this moment, letting Emilia cry in his arms, but he had no expression on his face.
'Maybe you should cry when you remember things like that.' Ayanokouji thought to himself.
Although there was no disturbance in his own heart, he remembered that Camilla, who had witnessed the memories with him, also cried.
Ayanokouji knew that crying was a way to vent emotions, but he didn't remember the last time he cried. Maybe it was only when the baby's instincts were greater than rationality.
Although Fortuna and Geuse both had to pay a heavy price in the end, in terms of results, they protected the seal and Emilia's safety.
However, if one lost his life and the other accidentally killed his lover and passed out completely, was this price too painful?
Ayanokouji was wise, and he reached out and patted Emilia's back gently.
It took about a few minutes before Emilia's cries gradually stopped. She left his embrace. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen. After crying hard, her sadness was also gone.
Emilia felt she could say anything in front of him and reveal her inner thoughts completely.
"I'm really sorry, Kiyotaka, for getting your clothes dirty."
She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Ayanokouji's clothes.
"It's supposed to be like this. After all, I'm your boyfriend now. Helping your girlfriend overcome her confusion is what a boyfriend should do." Ayanokouji said slowly.
Saying these words now could further increase the influence of his confidence in Emilia's mind.
"This..." Emilia's face immediately flushed red again, and this time, she seemed to remember something, "By the way, Kiyotaka, do you remember my relationship with you?"
"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded, he knew what she was going to ask.
"Do you still remember the name of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth we killed?" Emilia asked.
At that time, Ayanokouji himself had killed Petelgeuse alone, obtained his Gospel, and then followed the others to eliminate the remnants of the Witch Cult. He announced to the outside world that this operation would also kill the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.
In Emilia's memory, after Geuse injected the Sloth Factor into him, he was given the title of Sin Archbishop of Sloth by Pandora, so she wondered if the witch worshiper she destroyed at that time was the former Geuse.
Ayanokouji naturally guessed that Emilia would think so, and it wouldn't make her feel guilty, so he had already thought about how to answer.
"I can't remember clearly, but I remember his skin was very dark, and he was a very tall man, almost two meters tall. Why are you suddenly asking this?" Ayanokouji created a completely different character description.
"It's okay." Emilia shook her head, then turned her head, "Well, Kiyotaka, I asked Ram yesterday and there shouldn't be any child in my stomach..."
"It seems to be still in the biological category."
"However, I also learned details about giving birth from Ram's mouth. Although there are some beyond my knowledge, but... but..." Emilia's expression was a little hesitant, and she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say it for a long time, and her face flushed red.
She seemed to be hesitating about something, but she quickly clenched her fist and her eyes became firm, "If Kiyotaka wants to have a child, then I don't mind! I almost understand what I should do now!"
She spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that if she spoke a little slower, she wouldn't have the courage to finish her whole sentence.
And these words made Ayanokouji think, 'Ram seems to have taught too much.'
"Let's talk about this in the future." Ayanokouji replied.
For him, such an interaction might be too early, and progress too fast is sometimes not a good thing.

"You don't want this free opportunity! Let me do it!
"Damn it!"
Yamauchi and some of his friends looked frustrated and said that they were expecting something else.
"What a bunch of uneducated people!"
Horikita listened to their words and criticized them mercilessly, but her own cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.

In the royal capital of Lugnica, Emilia buried her face in her hands. Her face was very red, like iron heated by fire, and her body also became hot.
She knew she had just said something extraordinary.
She was worried that there was no place for her in this world, and Emilia just wanted to be eaten by the White Whale.

After chatting a few words with Emilia, Ayanokouji put her to sleep. After she fell asleep, he quietly returned to his room.
At this time, Beatrice was also asleep. Ayanokouji also controlled his voice so as not to wake her up, then walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.
There was no expression on his face that was considered handsome. This was the mask he wore.
He remembered what Beatrice said about his smile earlier – it was absolutely impossible, and it was very unlikely that a smile would appear on his face.
'But if I could make different expressions, it would be easier to do something.' Ayanokouji thought to himself, and then tried to make various expressions in front of the mirror.
'It seems it still doesn't work.'
Ayanokouji shook his head. Although he had mastered many abilities, he was really not good at this aspect.
But in a way, this was also a good thing. Expression is a form of expression of inner emotions. Even if people deliberately make fake expressions, people will also show different micro-expressions when they unconsciously produce different emotions deficiencies.
Ayanokouji used this method before to obtain a lot of information from other people's faces.
Expression can reveal one's inner thoughts, or it can cause others to misjudge one's emotions.
He didn't think about this for too long, but reached out and touched the black crystal stone on his chest, feeling its temperature rise and its beat gradually accelerating.
In the next second, he had arrived in the City of Dreams.
Echidna was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea at this time, with no special expression on her face, and Camilla was sitting next to her.
"Aya, Ayanokouji-sama!"
Camilla immediately waved after seeing Ayanokouji, but she seemed a little scared by the look, her eyes looked elsewhere, and she buried her face in her collar.
"Strange, why are you so enthusiastic about Kiyotaka?" Echidna frowned and looked at her with a little confusion.
"That, that, that's because..." Camilla hesitated for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
"Forget it." Echidna didn't ask any further, just shook her head, then turned her attention to Ayanokouji, "I know you'll come to me again, your little girlfriend actually broke through the trial, I really didn't expect her to be so selfish."
"Echidna... It seems you're jealous..." Camilla said softly.
"Jealous? How can I be jealous? For a woman like that? How can I be jealous of that woman!" Echidna immediately retorted.
"Sorry, I have to interrupt your conversation a little. I have some questions to ask you, Echidna." Ayanokouji said.
"See, it turns out Kiyotaka still needs me." Echidna raised her chin slightly, with a smile on her face.
"I want to ask about the Witch of Vainglory and the Sin Archbishop of Greed..." Ayanokouji said.
Echidna then told him about the information she knew. As the Witch Of Greed, she already knew almost all knowledge and information.
Regarding the power of the two, Ayanokouji also had a certain understanding.
"No wonder. It turns out Regulus' power is like this. No wonder Pandora mentioned his wife at that time." Ayanokouji nodded, then seemed to think of something else, raised his head and asked, "You created Betty and Roswaal's Gospel, right? What about the Gospel held by the Witch Worshippers?"
He felt a little doubt.
The Gospel kept by Roswaal and Beatrice should be relics left by Echidna. So where did the Gospel kept by the Witch Cult come from? Echidna's body was dead and she shouldn't have the ability to create the Gospel.
"It wasn't created by me." Echidna said immediately.
