"I'm sorry, Goddess!"
Without even a tiny bit of hesitation, Satou Kazuma apologized to Aqua right away, and even got ready to slide on his knees.
Even though Satou Kazuma wasn't sure if Aqua could really do what she said, he didn't want to bet his whole future on it.
"Looks like the trouble has been taken care of,"
Roswaal had a smile on his face, but when his eyes landed on Meili next to him, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
He knew who she was.
When Roswaal went to hire Elsa before, he had met Meili once, and knew that she was a monster user as infamous as the gut hunter.
But Roswaal didn't know why she had come here.
"The Book of Wisdom says that something special will happen around the mansion in a few days, and I need to leave early. Is it talking about the disaster caused by the monster user? This isn't what I asked for. I only asked for the bowl hunter to stop Emilia from participating in the royal selection by any means necessary. Is the monster user here because she wants to be, or does she have another purpose?"
Roswaal was talking to himself in his head.
He was now pretty sure that the big event predicted in the Book of Wisdom was definitely related to Meili. She had sneaked into the village, probably to cause disaster and chaos.
Roswaal guessed that Meili wanted to destroy the village's barrier, and then control monsters to attack the village.
If the plan worked, it would probably cause a lot of deaths and injuries.
But, it seemed that this future event had been erased ahead of time.
On the way to the village, Roswaal had confirmed in the Book that his instructions for the next few days were gone, which meant that the original future had changed.
Satou Kazuma had changed the future.
"How did they do it? They shouldn't have even seen the monster user before, so how did they know who she was and defeat her? Was it Aqua's power? Or was it someone else?"
Roswaal's brain was spinning fast, looking at Aqua and Satou Kazuma, who were still chatting about random things at that moment.
His original plan was to use this event to confirm the identity and abilities of the child of prophecy, but now it seemed that he couldn't do it.
And...
There was something that Roswaal was very concerned about.
That was Aqua and Satou Kazuma's actions during this time.
Strengthening the seal, hunting monsters, it was as if they had predicted Meili's actions.
Could it be that someone among them had the ability to predict the future?
"Interesting."
Roswaal had a meaningful look on his face.
......
Soon, everyone returned to the mansion, and the unconscious Meili was locked in the dungeon on the lowest level of the mansion.
Meili slowly opened her eyes, feeling a splitting headache.
"What happened before..."
Meili shook her head, her mind a bit fuzzy. After a few seconds, she slowly became clearer, trying hard to remember what had happened before.
"That guy... what did he do?"
She only remembered that she was confronting Satou Kazuma and the others, and just when she was about to control the monsters to attack, she suddenly lost consciousness.
Meili looked around and found herself in complete darkness, with no light at all.
"You're finally awake."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out in front of her.
"Who, who's there?"
Meili's eyes darted around in the darkness.
"Idiot, she can't see you if you don't light a lamp!"
"This is to create an atmosphere for torture. Don't you see that all the torture scenes in movies are in rather dark environments?"
"But it's not completely dark! There has to be some light, right?"
"Yeah, you're right."
"But it has nothing to do with me. I'm a goddess, so I can see clearly no matter how dark it is."
"If you can see, why are you pretending? Just now, your elbow almost went into my mouth! You did that on purpose! Light the candle!"
As the candle was lit, all the darkness in the dungeon was dispelled, and Aqua and Satou Kazuma were standing in front of Meili.
If anyone else was there, they would definitely think that these two were the bad guys with bad intentions.
Because Meili had mentioned before that she came for Satou Kazuma, the latter thought it was necessary to properly grill her.
"It's you, Tanaka!"
Meili glared at Satou Kazuma angrily, saying with a face full of anger.
"Tanaka, who's that?"
Satou Kazuma had a confused look on his face. He had already forgotten the name he made up earlier.
"BaKazuma, you lied to her before and said your name was Tanaka, did you forget?"
"Oh, right, wait, don't say it in front of her!"
"It's because you forgot!"
Watching the two people in front of her about to start bickering, a look of disbelief flashed in Meili's eyes.
She was actually defeated by these two?
Are they really this stupid, or are they pretending?
But her face quickly returned to the fierce expression she had before:
"So you were lying from the start, and you told me not to lie."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm an adult who can lie, and you're just a little girl. You can't lie at your age! As a little girl, you should do things that fit the identity of a little girl!"
Satou Kazuma said to Meili with a very serious expression.
Meili's eyebrows twitched slightly, completely not knowing what he was talking about.
"And I have to make it clear to you, I didn't seriously hurt your sister Elsa! It was this guy next to me!"
Satou Kazuma reached out, pointing to Aqua next to him.
"That's right, it was this goddess!"
Aqua thought that Satou Kazuma was introducing her identity, so she proudly puffed out her chest.
"She's the one who hurt your sister. If you want to take revenge later, please find her. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Kazuma, you!"
"I didn't come here for revenge. Finding you is just something I'm doing on the side."
Meili gave a cold laugh.
"Then tell me your name, and what is your purpose for coming here?"
"My name is Meili. As for other things, I will definitely not tell you!"
"Is that so? In that case, don't blame me for being merciless."
And Satou Kazuma had a mischievous smile on his face, rubbing his hands back and forth like flies.
