Catgirls know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

If you can't find a suitable clue, then provide places where there might be clues.

Ian also knew exactly what she meant - to go into Gilles de Ray's room.

"I see."

"Wait for me."

"Eh?!" The cat girl's tail stood up.

"Are you going alone?"

"Isn't this natural?" Ian hugged Atalanta and stroked her head gently.

"I can't bear to let you do something with such a big risk."

"..."

The blushing cat girl did not answer Ian, but just nodded silently.

In her heart, it seemed that she still had the idea of ​​solving the problem for him.

after a while.

According to the information obtained by Atalanta, Ian entered Gilles de Ray's room after making sure that no one noticed him.

As soon as he came in, the man gasped.

Because the concentration of magic power in the room was too high, it had even reached a suffocating level.

In addition, Ian also saw many strange props in this house - they seemed to be things related to alchemy.

But at the moment he didn't have the mind to pay attention to these.

He just wanted to know what could have produced such a strong magical power.

And the answer to the mystery was soon revealed.

Ian saw the human skin magic book that Atalanta mentioned at a glance.

It was lying quietly on the table.

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing - this was François Plelaty's stuff!

He felt magical fluctuations that were almost identical to the day when Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.

This means that Gilles de Rais got the book from François Pleurati.

That's why he can disguise himself as Caster (magician) because of this.

But how are they connected?

Ian realized that the singularity on the soles of his feet might be closely linked to the memories he had acquired.

We have to find out what's going on quickly.

But at this moment——

Ian, who was concentrating on studying the human skin magic book, didn't notice that the door behind him opened.

Then, Gilles de Ray appeared there.

He looked at the scene in front of him and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Ian?"

"What are you...doing here?"

238. The truth behind the singularity/The collection of resentment/Ta Meow saves the day (4k)

Gilles de Rais's voice was not loud, but it was clear enough.

Ian turned around and saw him staring at him.

In those black eyes, there was now anger and dissatisfaction towards the uninvited guest who invaded his "territory".

It is no exaggeration to say that Ian felt that it would not be surprising if Gil de Ray pointed a weapon at him now.

Seeing that Ian didn't answer his question, the tall man asked again.

"Can't you...hear me?"

"Why did you come into my room?" I asked.

"..."

Even though he knew that if he didn't respond, Gilles de Rais would probably get angry.

But Ian didn't know what answer to give for a moment.

The room suddenly fell into deathly silence, as if a fierce duel could break out at any time and anywhere.

But at this moment——

Another figure appeared at the door of the room.

It was Atalanta.

Although she agreed to let Ian sneak into Gil de Ray's room alone, the cat girl was still worried about her master's safety.

and so--

She chose a way that would allow her to follow Ian's instructions while also being able to meet emergency needs.

That is to follow directly behind him and observe everything in secret.

This is not a difficult task for Atalanta, who is an Archer.

I don’t know whether to say it’s lucky or unlucky.

The cat girl's preparation really came in handy at this moment.

She saw Gilles de Ray turning back - just in time to run into Ian as he entered the room.

Realizing that she had unwittingly set a trap for her master, Atalanta took immediate action.

"Ian?!" The cat girl pretended to be surprised.

"How did you get into Caster's (magician's) room?"

"Didn't I show you the way?"

Having said this, Atalanta took all the responsibility on himself.

She bowed deeply to Gilles de Rais and began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Caster (magician), it's my problem."

"I thought if I told Saber (the swordsman) the route, he would know how to get to the Master."

"Now it seems that this is not the case...I should have gone with him."

Atalanta cleverly connected her words with what she had just said in front of her followers.

This way, even if Gilles de Ray really asks other Servants, he will get consistent answers.

but--

The tall man seemed to have no intention of doing so.

"..."

After a moment's silence, Gilles de Ray nodded.

"I understand."

"Then please go out with him now."

Atalanta breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"it is good!"

She looked at Ian, winked, and then continued to speak in a pretentious manner.

"That--"

"let's go!"

She knew very well that in the eyes of other servants, Ian was already Black Jeanne's husband.

So even though she really wanted to take this opportunity to hold his hand, Atalanta finally held back.

however--

Something unexpected happened at this moment.

Ian did not walk down the steps laid by Atalanta, but turned back and questioned Gilles de Ray.

He looked at the magic book made of human skin on the table and spoke very seriously.

"What on earth is this? Why do you... have such a grimoire?"

"..."

Atalanta's tail stood up when she heard this.

Her purpose of coming here was to "protect" Ian.

But instead of accepting this kindness, the other party plunged into it again.

You have to know that this was done by breaking into the room without Gilles de Rais's knowledge.

How dare he question the other party?

What the cat girl didn't know was that Ian already had completely different ideas at this moment.

He is not a true Servant, but a "person" with past memories.

and so--

The origin of Gilles de Rais's human-skin magic book, which exudes traces of François Pleurati's magic, must be clarified.

Even if you have to pay a corresponding price for it!

Otherwise, the singularity here may never be repaired.

"..."

Gilles de Ray was stunned when he heard Ian's words.

He probably didn't expect that someone could break into someone else's room and then question the owner of the room so confidently.

but--

This tall man is not the type who would lose his composure immediately if questioned by others.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Why are you asking such a thing?"

"Does it... mean anything to you?"

"Of course."

Ian answered without hesitation.

"The magic power in this room... no longer belongs to our Master, right?"

"you--"

"Aren't you going to explain this?"

"..."

After hearing this, Atalanta suddenly realized that the concentration of magic in this room was indeed so high that it made people feel a little suffocated.

I was so focused on saving Ian that I didn't pay any attention to the situation around me.

This is also a question that turns the tables - it rationalizes the reason why Ian came here!

"..."

Gilles de Ray frowned slightly, looking as if he was stumped by Ian's question.
