On a bed placed in the middle of a luxurious baroque large hall, Julia had finally woken up from a long sleep, but had lost her mind for a long time, so her consciousness was still cloudy.
"You woke up... but maybe you should have stayed unconscious..."
"... Huh?... What's this?
Julia's body was tied to the bed by restraints.
"... ah!... you were... at that time..."
"Say Jade"
"Jade... Mr.... Um... what is this place?
"... it's Lord Strauss's mansion"
"Lord Strauss?... the nobleman's mansion?... Why me in a place like that?
"... this is also your home"
"Huh?... What home?... Huh?
and there the Duke of Strauss came into the room, walking wide again.
"That's all there is to talk about. I guess you're ready, huh?
"... Yes..."
Jade drowned Kyou's head behind his back.
Strauss nodded satisfactorily when he heard Jade's reply, then somehow carefully quantified the vast large hall floor.
"Hmm. That's a lot of big stuff, huh? It's Carius."
Strauss spoke that way to the old man, who weaved a black hooded cape that followed him like a shadow right behind him.
"Yes, the spells that we are going to perform will be huge if we open the gates of the underworld to forbidden spells."
Carius was right, around the bed where Julia lay, the giant demonic squares were painted all over the great hall.
"Is it the gates of the underworld... are you going to be okay?
"Yes, there are many, even if I have spoken to the gates of the underworld and a sip. Only the first gate will open this time. It's just a low-level demon that's showing up. Don't worry."
"... but is it the devil? Though low-level...... I guess you're really okay with that?
"Knock it off. Duke, you'll be worried about that. It's the Devil's Square for that."
"Ugh, um. So is that... then it's time to bring Clarice."
Strauss turned to Jade and ordered him to do so.
"... Ha"
Jade quietly left the big hall with a dark feeling behind him.
Two.
"How is Master Clarice?
Jade asked the maid with clarice, holding back in front of Clarice's bedroom door, diving (hissing) her voice.
"... Yes. Not very unexpected............... Dear Jade, can't you steal the eyes of the Duke and that creepy sorcerer to see your doctor Clarice?
"... don't say it anymore"
"But!"
Then the space behind Jade suddenly rocked demonically.
And the old face of Carius, dressed in a black hood, rose in hollow.
"... come on. That's creepy. But more than that, little girl, you've spoken of things you shouldn't have heard now."
"Get lost, Carius! I'm going to take Master Clarice to the big hall as you wish. So get the hell out of here!
Jade yelled at Carius as the atmosphere shook furiously.
"... Hmm. I don't know what else to do here... I'm waiting for a bigger job than this. Then take Master Clarice to the Great Hall as soon as possible. Good..."
Leaving it at that, Carius sprayed the clouds as he swayed.
"Damn! You monster!"
Jade told me to throw up in a heartfelt bitterness.
"Dear Jade..."
Noticing the maid's gaze, which looked very worrisome, Jade eased the look she had had had and spoke graciously.
"I'm sorry. I don't have enough power."
"No, I... it's just that Master Clarice and that girl are pitiful..."
"Oh... right..."
But Jade pushed his dark thoughts into the bottom of his chest and firmly laid his hands on Clarice's sleeping bedroom door.
