The storm raged on, intensifying with every passing moment. [Updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, with error corrections made promptly. Due to caching reasons, we recommend browsing the website using a web browser.]
Even the Cat Boss Restaurant had not seen a customer for a while.
The wooden house was unusually peaceful. The hanging lamps cast a soft glow, and the warm yellow light fell on the antique wooden staircase, completely shielding it from the raging storm outside.
Most of the customers in the shop were leisurely enjoying their meals, occasionally glancing out the window at the rain.
"…"
Phoenix glanced at the clock between sips of his coffee.
If, in another hour, the target still hasn't appeared, he will again hypnotize himself, temporarily abandoning his mission and looking for the next opportunity.
After Ranch sent Miss Duchess here last night, they went back and forth twice, and then they parted ways.
Now Lance is engaged in a Shadow World duel with Adams at the Icerite Academy, and he can't break free for the time being.
And Frey was entertaining the academic visiting team heading to the Knight's Academy with the student council president.
Both the biggest variables were absent, and Miss Duchess was completely unaware that danger had arrived at her side.
This is a chance to kill the Duchess's daughter without fail.
Although the three of them were difficult to deal with together, after returning to the present world, their everyday lives became too carefree and careless.
Only Lance showed a bit of caution, entrusting his ace summon, [The Great Love Poet], to Huberlian to accompany her.
According to intel, this familiar possesses a very high level of self-awareness and intelligence, and can communicate telepathically with Lance. Once the familiar encounters danger, Lance will be able to sense it immediately.
Previously, at the Purgatory Corridor Academy, Leraylte, under the command of the Corrupted Bishop, failed because she accidentally killed the Great Love Poet in the end. This alerted Principal Ranch to the situation, causing him to rush and save Hyperion.
But this time, that good fortune won't happen again.
Nobody can save Huberlian.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the banister on the second floor landing.
Phoenix, sitting on the first floor, slightly raised her head, her gaze passing through the exquisite pavilions and towers of the restaurant, landing on the staircase.
Here, a girl in a tailored Eclat Academy uniform was chatting with her companion.
Silver hair and amber eyes, tall and elegant and dignified, it was Miss Huberlian, the Duchess.
But beside her, another woman with cold grey hair, despite her disguise and acting skills being quite good, was undoubtedly Lance's ace summoner, [The Great Love Poet].
The person's aura is faint, indistinguishable from that of a first-class commoner.
As the two chatted, their descent down the stairs naturally slowed.
Miss Tata, why didn't you wake me up
Hubberly seemed a little guilty. She had never slept so soundly, waking up after more than ten hours.
"You're sleeping soundly."
Taliya merely said, "Every step, my heel taps lightly on the wooden stair treads, making a soft echo."
Then you don't have to lie beside me and stare at me all the time...
When they reached the middle platform, Huberlian looked out at the rain-soaked scenery, murmuring somewhat awkwardly.
Although Huberli saw Tatta's beautiful face and golden eyes the instant she opened her eyes, making her feel very secure, Huberli wasn't a child anymore. The feeling of being cared for like she was sleeping in her mother's arms made her quite embarrassed.
"I'm afraid you'll be scared alone."
Talya's expression did not change.
"It's also..."
Because Tata always slept beside her, she fell asleep more peacefully than ever before.
Huberly then said nothing more, and instead asked what Tata would like to eat later.
If she doesn't say anything, Tata might continue to keep her company like this tonight.
Although it was somewhat underhanded of Huberlian to demand excessive care from Tatata, even after reaching a temporary agreement to protect her, that is one of the few cunning traits Huberlian possesses.
The two women descended the spiral staircase, their conversation echoing as they went until they reached the ground floor, their figures disappearing into the restaurant hallway.
"Once the rain lightens up a bit, how about we check out Ikertre Academy Ranch might be dueling with Alolan Academy's ace right now."
Hughbert looked at the clock on the counter, then suggested to Talia.
What's good
Talya answered instinctively.
But then she thought, for some reason, she was also a little curious about what Lanchi was doing now.
If you want to see it, then let's go together.
Talya turned and said.
"Haha, we're going to arrest Lancy at this very moment."
Huberly's laughter was easy and natural, while Talia beside her quietly gazed ahead. Together, they walked towards the counter, ready to order.
Both of them didn't notice at all—
Phoenix was sitting by the dining table that they were about to pass on the walkway.
“……”
Phoenix slowly raised the coffee cup to his lips, it was getting a little cold.
Finally.
As Huberly and Talia walked past at that moment.
Phoenix sat quietly in his seat, a barely perceptible smirk playing on his lips.
Under the table, a pink-glowing magical card appeared in his other hand.
With a flash of lightning splitting the gloom outside, every face in the room was momentarily illuminated as bright as day.
Boom!!!
The soft background music floating in the restaurant was briefly overtaken by the rolling thunder outside the window.
Meanwhile
Unnoticed, the music within the thunder had shifted its tune.
The patrons in the aisles and on the seats suddenly stopped everything they were doing, their faces devoid of emotion, expressions frozen, eyes vacant.
They suddenly stood up in unison, turned around, and strode heavily, all looking at Huberlian!
It wasn't just that bolt of lightning; Phoenix had also made his move.
He clenched the dagger in his right hand, and the cold gleam of its blade flashed before Huberlian could even turn his head. With the full force of his being, he hurled it forth, a blow capable of cleaving the fourth-order Huberlian in two!
While Huberley was stunned, a clear cut had appeared in the distant floor.
As the cracks in the floor passed Huberly, they were held back by a stronger force and vanished completely.
The reason why Huberlyne doesn't seem to have been hurt is because she has a life card.
And this strike also inadvertently hit the great love poet, who was only one level away and would dissipate in an instant.
Duchess, you can't escape today!
Phoenix's icy expression no longer masked his killing intent. He stood up and approached Huberlian.
The diners in the restaurant, like automatons, picked up their forks and knives and rushed towards Huberly as if attacking him with a deadly assault.
Even now.
Lancer realized the danger on Hubertian's side.
...he didn't even have time to get to the scene!
This battle will soon end.
Next, Huberlian will engage in a no-escape death match with Phoenix, who controls this group of civilians in the restaurant.
He will stop at nothing to kill Huberlian as quickly as possible, or take her with him on the road.
However.
A strange feeling enveloped Phoenix's heart, a chill rising from his spine and spreading through his entire body.
Two golden eyes stared at him, making him feel completely frozen in place.
It seemed as if he were the one truly turned into a puppet now.
Who, as if overlooking him.
They were eyes that filled him with a bone-chilling terror.
The entire restaurant space seemed to plunge into darkness, only his pair of demonic golden eyes stood out with extraordinary clarity, making him appear incredibly tiny.
