"... Mr Ortes, you have been very rude. Please forgive me..."
Shester bowed his head deeply and apologized to Ortes.
"... yes, no, even though it was stopped, I don't think it's natural that I was suspicious because I couldn't explain it very well either..."
Ortes hastily waved his hands and accepted Chester's apology.
Then Chester took a sigh of relief and gave him a relief look.
"It would be helpful if you could say that"
Shester took a few steps and offered his right hand against Ortes.
Then Ortes grabbed his right hand with disappointment, and here was a settlement between the two.
It was Lombardo beside him who was most pleased with this.
"No - good. Good. I was wondering what would really happen for a while?
Lombardo winked mischievously at Shester.
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, Deputy Secretary."
"No, actually, I didn't really fall for it either. But I didn't know Gaius had an infinite amount of magic..."
"... yes, it's just that the enemy... I don't know if he defeated Lord Elle, but he can still be left without a note. I thought overconfidence was forbidden..."
"Whatever. I will never let you follow Elle to Gaius!
When Lombardo said so resolutely, he never stared into the hollow.
