“Leader. Teleportation media is said to be ready soon.”
“Alright, how many days have we been here?”
“Three days since the beginning of departure.”
‘Three days? It was time consuming as it had to wait for the teleportation to be ready to return. Well, do not blame because it requires a lot of magic and full rigor.’
It was sickening to think of having to hang on to this place with an extra day.
The Dungeon was well settled. Veronica thought to hurry back and rest.
Then his partner spoke.
“I think Edgar's team has also returned.”
Good to hear that. So Veronica didn't think too much about work. Now stay this, to wait for the teleportation time to be activated so he and the others will go home.
The news may have been spread that even in the raid dungeon this time did not take a toll.
Then time passed by for about an hour and the teleportation took everyone away. Veronica bitterly thought of this for herself.
I can finally go back from hell to hell again.

When I returned to church after doing charity work. I immediately laid my body on a soft bed. I told Yohan not to interrupt my sleep at the time and it was true that nothing was bothering me.
From there on my side was a sleeping puppy so it was still safe.
Then the night that was almost midnight, Yohan woke me up.
"Al, wake up."
Slowly opening these heavy eyelids, I blinked a few times to clear the blurry look and lift the body up.
"What's up Hyung?"
Yohan who looked at me with anxious eyes was in front of me.
"You haven't eaten anything since at least eat this first and drink warm milk. After that sleep again, hm..."
Ah, true. I arrived without doing anything and immediately lay down and fell asleep. Even my clothes... Stupidly do not replace it with sleepwear.
I received a plate on which was two slices of bread and Yohan placed warm milk on the table. I ate the bread and chewed it lazily, my consciousness has not completely recovered.
The bread brought by Yohan was delicious but somehow eating it after waking up was a little bland.
While I was chewing like a squirrel, Yohan spoke.
"It's a letter from Mr. Theo, he said to give it to you when you wake up."
"Hm... Oh..."
Put the plate on the bed and receive the letter Yohan gave.
Why would Paladin Theo give it to him now? What is important?
"You're involved with unnecessary things, aren't you?"
Hm? Why did he say that.
Putting that reason aside it was good to see the contents of the report from Paladin Theo in exchange for what Yohan meant, it seems that I understand.
Directly at that moment my gaze became completely saturated and cold. Why when I wake up should I receive this information? It makes me very upset.
"It's not something that I'm involved with Hyung. It's just that I want to find out what really happened."
"Yes, yeah, I get it. It's not like you've just done strange things. I'm getting used to it."
He seems to be resigned with just that. Yeah, if he's not used to it, then his heart won't be strong if I get involved with another crazy thing.
In the report given by Paladin Theo I can expect it. At least it's like what I imagined when I found this puppy with a wound on his body.
"Then how are you gonna handle that?"
Engaging with such a complicated matter is not my original skill. Want to avoid this as best as possible, but of course it is not easy.
In fact this was a matter related to nobility again.
"Why should I intervene. There are people more suited to doing this job than me."
"Don't tell me..."
Slightly limp to say it and hold my neck. What Yohan thought was true, he was a quick-witted man and easy to speculate.
It is almost the same with Heros. The difference is that Heros will do everything in his power to deal with speculation. So, the rationale is a little bit to talk about.
"Yes, right. Crown Prince."
"But will he really do it? I mean he won't be interested in this."
"Hmm, it's true that he won't be interested. But it's different if I say it."
Because we have a contract.
It's not like I'm going to manipulate him. You can tell if Claude is not the gullible type. Every now and then our relationship is a bit reciprocal and he thinks it will be beneficial for him as well.
There is no need to be in trouble if our goals are the same.
I can't stay silent on this one, because there's something I promised the boy.
"So no need to worry Hyung, this problem is a sub-problem of many problems."
I slightly chuckled as I said that, Yohan dropped her expression and sighed in surrender. Then I continued eating and went back to sleep.
The main problems will start tomorrow.

Their efforts will not go well. But at least their plan is still working.
The reason for that was that there was a slight problem with Saint's involvement, so they put off a little time to carry out their work.
The caretakers of the orphanage gathered in the same place at night. From those different places were willing to come in a place a little away from their native district.
And it's still useful for them to do.
"What are we gonna do now?"
"Aren't we going to stick to the plan."
"Yes, that's right. But when Saint last came to our place, he said he would visit sooner or later to see the children's condition."
That's when they really panicked and lost the direction of how to proceed. Cooperatively they work together for their own benefit but if there is a problem sometimes there is someone who...
"We'd better use the other kids then."
"What?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
"We don't have any other choice."
"Even so, using another child will trigger a little noise. That's a little risky. Only sick children are the ones we can use."
It's just that it doesn't really affect the caretaker who guards the orphanage in the southern district. He flatly just replied to them as if he didn't care.
"You're saying that because you won't fall for a scoundrel. Even so are you not afraid that the palace will find out."
"Yes, I heard Saint met the Crown Prince lately. Can't describe them a little familiar. If the Saint knew this when he saw the children not exist, he would definitely report it to the Prince. At least we should delay this first."
The other caretaker just fell silent and started to think that it made sense.
It is undeniable that if until this problem is heard in their ears then it is not only their plan. But their lives will be lost.
The manager of the southern district parlor who gave a tight resistance sighed dissatisfied. But he agreed with that.
"Alright, we postpone this matter until Saint has finished coming to visit. After that, we proceed with our plan."
All the managers agreed. It was as if they were gathered here as a combination of dark organizations in one place and in a quiet room. Everyone only wears a long hood and has the same sneaky grin.
"How many times are we gonna get this?"
"More than you think."
"Keyhe... At least those kids are useful, when we sell them for experimental materials."
