Several days after Anouk conveyed Her Majesty the Queen's request, on a rainy daytime, I had been thinking that something was likely to happen on a day like this. Even if people were killed, the rain would erase the sounds and wash away the blood. But getting soaked through while chasing and securing Konoka was something I disliked, so it would have been better if nothing happened on a day like this. While raising such a flag, I had been lazing around.
I know that the unpleasant kind of premonition always comes true. Before evening, a letter arrived from Anouk. When I opened the letter,
"Tonight, yes. Wait at the mansion."
was all that was written. Haa—— it can't be helped. I called Rudolf and Lily and conveyed the contents of the letter. I had already informed them in advance about Her Majesty the Queen's request.
