After saying goodbye to Roy and the others, we headed toward the church.
As the church came into view, Atla-san narrowed her eyes with nostalgia.
Erika, walking beside me, suddenly tugged at my hem.
I tilted my head and looked at her. She was giving me a sulky stare.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened to Roy-san?"
At Erika's words, I remembered that I hadn't explained everything and began to do so with a wry smile.
While listening to my explanation, Erika's eyes widened, then she crossed her arms with a serious expression.
"So… what happened to that kidnapping culprit?"
"I knocked him unconscious and handed him over to the soldiers," I replied.
"…He's really persistent. He's still trying to target Lucy-san…"
Erika let out a sigh and shook her breasts, her face turning exasperated.
I gave a wry smile, thinking she was right.
Yes, he was persistent — the Lucy event was notoriously difficult to root out.
After all, the ones targeting Lucy were from a neighboring country.
