I told Gaius to peek in from the bottom to ask Carla how she was feeling.
Carla put her arms together and told her to throw up with a full smile on her face.
"... that seems the only way. This idiot apprentice..."
"... uh... well, I won't deny it. This time..."
"What is it this time? There will always be no deniable ingredients."
"... well, yes..."
"Hmm! We'll just have to find it anyway. I just don't know how to find it... do you have any clues? Whatever, don't even think about it!
Carla told me and Gaius meditated and thought with his eyes to twist out his memory.
"Yeah... nothing... nothing..."
"Don't you have something? How did that water guide find the gateway to hell? I don't think so."
"Hey, that's... Karin made some kind of clap-out call where there's nothing. Then suddenly the ground cracked... and the gateway to hell opened..."
"... Did I say Karin? Is that Karin, Astarot's wife?
"Oh, yeah. That Karin. You picked me up last time with Astarot's life. But this time... I would be in a state of temporary death with Astalot and Delkia..."
"You mean... so Karin really punched a hole where there was nothing?
Gaius desperately recalled the last event.
"... uhhh... there was nothing wrong with that... I said a call where there was nothing completely different..."
"I don't care what you say... it was, so I can't help it"
"Hmm... I mean, it was more like some kind of signal than magic?
Gaius nodded at Carla's guess.
"Yeah. I think I probably did. But the gateway to hell is there to stop God from breaking in, but if you're a high-ranking demon, you can open it easily..."
"I knew it. I mean, that's just a signal. So... we still can't..."
Carla had a deep wrinkle between her eyebrows when she said so.
Gaius completely lost his position and shrunk into smaller pieces.
Then Carla looked like she had come up with something.
"... Gaius, you, you just got close to Delkia's men, didn't you?
"Oh, you mean Dove? Then... yeah. Well, can you say it's close?
Then Carla, hearing Gaius's answer, smiled invincibly niggardly.
