"Helena, how did you manage to record so many things..."

"That's all." The man turned to a page in the records and pointed at the content.

"If I'm reading the catalog correctly, these should be the places in Jerusalem that you and Gray just visited. In just a short while, have you managed to record so much?"

"of course!"

Helena puffed out her non-existent chest and said with pride.

"Don't forget that I'm a theosophist. What I want to do is scientifically and rationally prove the existence of 'God'."

"That way, it proves that my previous research wasn't in vain! I'm not a liar!"

"..."

Ian suddenly realized that he seemed to have some misunderstanding about Helena's diligence in archaeology.

She didn't want to study those ancient artifacts out of interest, but because it could prove that her past was not wrong.

Theosophy is a correct discipline!

"I see."

Ian reached out and gently stroked Helena's head.

"It's amazing..."

"..."

Helena's cheeks instantly became hot when her head was touched, and even her speech began to become a little strange.

"You...you...you...what are you talking about!"

"But I...but I've always been this powerful!"

"I'm sorry," Ian said, smiling. "I overlooked that before—I'm so sorry."

call--

The train whistle blew over Helena's head.

She couldn't utter a word.

Seeing her servant become like this, Gray covered her mouth and looked very surprised.

"Ms. Helena, it turned out to be like this..."

"Mr. Ian, you are indeed a very special person!"

"What about you, Gray?"

Ian continued to stroke Helena's head while looking at the other girl in front of him.

"Are you also interested in these archaeological and Theosophical things?"

"This one……"

"It's okay, don't worry—" Ian put his other hand on Gray's head, "There's no other outsiders here, so no matter what you say, it'll be fine."

"..."

Gray was silent for a long time, looking like she was trying to figure out whether what she was doing was right.

But in the end, she nodded in agreement with Ian.

"I'm really not that interested."

"but--"

Gray looked at Helena beside her.

That look clearly showed that he already regarded the other person as his good friend.

"If it were her, I would be very happy too."

"Gray..."

Helena's eyes became moist.

After another round of chatting, Grey and Helena talked about their archaeological discoveries along the way with laughter in front of Ian's sight.

The man felt that his mood became much more relaxed as the archaeologists talked to each other - this was a different feeling from that of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

of course.

There is no distinction between high and low.

but--

After chatting like this for a while, Gray and Helena "rejected" Ian's invitation to stay, just like Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu.

"Mr. Ian, we have things to do too."

"Yes, yes..."

Although it seemed that both Grey and Helena's tone showed that they did not want to leave, Ian still decided to respect them.

"alright, I got it."

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, Mr. Ian, see you tomorrow! / See you tomorrow!"

Ian felt a little strange about the arrival of two groups of people in one night.

But before he could think about it, the door that had just been closed opened again.

Only this time——

The number of people who appeared at the door changed to three.

The Joan sisters, and... their child Lily.

"dad--"

As soon as she saw Ian, Lily couldn't wait to shout out.

Then she jumped towards Ian and threw herself into his arms.

"Dad~"

"..."

Listening to this sweet voice, Ian felt that his mood had improved a lot.

This time, it was his turn to question the Joan of Arc sisters who appeared on the scene.

"Lily asked you to come, right?"

“Obviously…”

Just as Black Jeanne was about to speak, her sister covered her mouth.

The latter nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it is."

"Lily insisted on seeing you anyway—so my sister and I brought her here."

"..."

Although he felt that the truth of the matter was most likely not like this, Ian was not in a hurry to expose his sisters.

He nodded and looked at Lily in his arms.

"Do you miss daddy that much?"

"Ok!"

"I miss you so much—because Daddy almost didn't come back!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Lily's straight shot immediately put the scene into silence.

After a while, Jeanne said awkwardly:

"It's okay, at least now... it's okay now, isn't it?"

Poof.

Black Jeanne finally pulled Jeanne's hand away from her lips.

"It is indeed the case!"

"The person's return is more important than anything else, isn't it?"

"Indeed it is."

Ian carried Lily to the Joan of Arc sisters.

Then, he let the child who looked almost identical to them ride on his shoulders, and then hugged his sisters on his left and right.

"Feel sorry--"

"I was indeed a bit reckless this time. I'm sorry to have caused you to worry."

"it does not matter."

Jeanne kissed Ian on one cheek.

"I always believe that my brother can do whatever he wants to do - it was like this before and it will be like this in the future."

"I... am the person in this world who believes in my brother the most!"

"..."

Seeing her sister say such words without hesitation, Joan of Arc was stunned at first, and then realized that it was the best time for her to follow her example.

"Me too!"

"I... trust you too! The reason is... what reason is there?! If belief requires a reason, then wouldn't that just be judgment?!"

"Anyway, I am..."

Black Jeanne glanced at her sister beside her.

"He is the second person in the world who believes in you!"

"Really? That would be great."

The happiness of the family is fully reflected at this moment.

But in the end, the Joan sisters did not stay. Instead, they took Lily and left after saying "Don't disturb your brother's rest."

A few minutes later.

The door opened again.

As soon as Mary came in, Ian pushed her against the wall.

"You did it, right?"

"The matter of calling them all here."

"..."

"Did they tell you?" Mary asked the man in front of her.

"No." The man shook his head. "No one said anything—but no matter how you think about it, it's what you would do."

"You really do know me very well." Mary raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that only Ian could see.

"so--"

"Do you understand now that Altria isn't the only person you need to take care of?"

"If she knew you were so upset, she'd probably regret meeting you, right?"

"..."

Ian was speechless.

"Merry, I..."
