Chapter 12: Sold I shouldn’t be unfamiliar with Mr. Door? Aside from Mr. Fool, the only high-level, high-status beings I can claim any familiarity with are the seven gods, and the only church I have ever entered is the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery… As the Magician Fors felt confused, she rapidly searched through her memories for all the high-level existences she had ever come into contact with. Because there were so few, she quickly eliminated the other possibilities. Then her eyes…-

Chapter 11: A Page of Diary Above the gray fog, inside the lofty-domed palace. Klein, the Fool, glanced at the Sun, whom he had pulled in ahead of time, and at the World, whom he had manifested in advance. Then, right on schedule, he extended his spirituality and touched the crimson stars representing Justice, the Hanged Man, the Magician, the Moon, and the Hermit. One beam after another rose up. Blurred figures appeared on either side of the long bronze table. Justice Audrey had just returned…

Chapter 10: Settled After a brief silence, Klein lifted his black tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, “That is one option, and it may be considered. However, Emperor Roselle once said that one should never rush into a decision. Only through repeated comparison can the best answer be found. “Are there any other choices?” Wearing white gloves, Walter spoke without the slightest change in expression. “Phelps Street can also satisfy your requirements. I recall that No. 9 is currently…

Chapter 9: Butler At nine in the morning, in a high-end hotel in the Hillston Borough. Klein picked up a beautifully packaged bottle of white wine and, with a smile, offered it to the elderly gentleman seated across from him. “Mr. Asnia, thank you very much for coming to speak with me in person. This is only a small gift. Please accept it. “I will make my decision by tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, I may pay you a visit at your home.” This was his tactful way of informing…

Chapter 8: Self-Recommendation “Moon Puppet…” Fors’s heart stirred. She withdrew her drifting attention and turned toward the gathering member who had just spoken. The gentleman wearing an iron-black mask had already taken out a small puppet and was displaying it to everyone. “A friend of mine discovered a small burial ground deep in the Paz Valley on the Southern Continent. This puppet was inserted into the right eye socket of one of the dead.” Fors, like the other gathering…

Chapter 7: Those Encountered and Those Missed Inside Saint Samuel Cathedral’s great prayer hall. The short black-haired bishop withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the middle-aged gentleman before the offering box. Nor did he develop any thought of going over to speak with him. Here, before the altar, he represented the Church and stood beneath the Goddess’s watch. It was impossible for him to treat anyone warmly merely because they had donated more money. Still, he remembered the…

Chapter 6: A Rich Man’s Daily Life “Then please wait a moment. Would you like coffee, or black tea?” Beline asked warmly. Klein smiled. “When I was young, I liked coffee. I liked that strong aroma. But now, I am better able to accept black tea.” “I prefer black tea as well. Then… a cup of Marquis black tea?” Beline suggested with a smile. The coffee and black tea used to serve guests at the Metropolitan Helping Household Servants Association were both of ordinary quality,…

Chapter 5: Official Debut Why would that madman Gehrman Sparrow need someone to claim Blood Admiral’s bounty on his behalf? No, more importantly, why would he be able to claim Blood Admiral’s bounty? Danitz suddenly cleared his head from the confusion and caught the key point. He abruptly lowered his head again, keeping his gaze from betraying his shock and bewilderment. The adventurers beside him continued speaking. “How could that be possible? No one would dare claim…

Chapter 4: Three Chairs The Wraith-formed Senor, under Klein’s control, passed through thick soil and stone, arriving beside Sharron. He saw a broken armrest buried ahead, carved with asymmetric patterns. It was similar to the splintered wood they had found earlier, yet also different. This armrest was not purely deep black. Within its patterns, there was a dark-red color, as though iron and blood had intertwined. Recalling the scene from that past nightmare, Klein confirmed that this was not…

Chapter 3: Re-exploration Sharron was silent for two seconds. “I will ask for you,” she said. So that means you’ll think it over too? Fair enough. The negative effect of the Scales of Luck really does make one hesitate. Still, the Biological Poison Bottle pairs very well with a Wraith. If I weren’t short on money—and if carrying it around didn’t worsen my constitution and make me prone to illness—I would be reluctant to sell it. It is extraordinarily useful in an ambush… Klein…
