      113 Cover
      by ianthe Despite their thorough inspection, they found nothing unusual. Kana maintained a natural smile as she responded to the host's words. "It's an honor to be Elina's first guests. We'll enjoy the meal." "Yes." They all began eating. Only the women exchanged compliments about the food and engaged in pleasant conversation while praising each other. Kiriel quietly watched Kana as she chatted vivaciously. Elina tilted her head and spoke up. "Kiriel is still quite reserved. Come to think of it, I…

      114 Cover
      by ianthe "Not yet." "Whew, that's a relief." Kiriel wiped his chest. Kana gently comforted him. "Don't worry too much. You don't seem like that kind of person." "I love you, Kana." "Me too." After her response, the two were enveloped in silence. Kana stared intently at him, his eyes still clear, before bringing up a different topic. "By the way, when we were dining earlier, I got information from the spirits doing real-time reconnaissance, but there didn't seem to be any dangerous elements in…

      115 Cover
      by ianthe After persistently tracking the suspects for several days, they successfully dealt with all of them using magic and spirit arts without raising suspicion. They eliminated the high-risk individuals and Kiriel used mental magic to confuse the ambiguous ones. Even after returning to the mansion, he couldn't hide his regret. "My sister is better at mental magic. That's unfortunate." "It helped enough, so it's fine. Magic really has a wide range of uses and is convenient." "That's natural. Ah, of…

      117 Cover
      by ianthe After sharing the secret with the female protagonist, they maintained good relations without having to work separately on favorability like in previous rounds. Since they had secretly dealt with the people who killed Elina in rounds 1 and 2, it was an extremely peaceful time. Kana watched Kiriel who was carefully examining jewels with gloves on and placing them in boxes. "Since we're entering the third month, the sub male lead will appear." "Yeah, looking at the timing, he'll come…

      116 Cover
      by ianthe The living room fell silent after Elina's words. Kiriel sat next to Kana and snapped his fingers. A sound-blocking magic spread. "Kana, seems like the female protagonist roughly knows the situation too. Should we just be straightforward?" "Let's do that. Leave the conversation with her to me." "Okay." Kiriel lifted the sound-blocking magic. To Elina's eyes, it just looked like the two were moving their lips while exchanging words. While she took a deep breath, Kana carefully opened her…

      118 Cover
      by ianthe "......Huh? Why?" Not understanding the connection, Elina tilted her head in confusion. Kiriel, who had been quiet, joined the conversation. "We mentioned the mastermind earlier." "Yes." "Actually, it was hard to crack during the investigation. Considering that along with other factors, we suspect the mastermind is likely a noble." "......Ah." Finally understanding the intent behind the questions, Elina's expression darkened. Kana carefully spoke. "Though it's a sensitive topic, have…

      119 Cover
      by ianthe "Well, that's not entirely wrong. You're quite composed, more than expected." Kana acknowledged with a shrug, her voice distorted with static. There was no point denying when the other party was already certain. Cedric narrowed his eyes and responded flatly. "I expected you'd come directly someday, judging by your actions. You don't seem like people who work just for money...... Could you perhaps be quite close to Elina Dekrom?" "Think what you want." Though Kana responded indifferently, she…

      120 Cover
      by ianthe "I'm sorry but you must be mistaking me for someone else. I don't have a husband." While Elina responded coldly, they stepped back to observe the situation. Kiriel tapped his index finger against his thumb. As soon as the sound-blocking magic spread, his words quickened. "Kana, why isn't the mission complete when the female and male protagonists have safely met and are talking?" "Though it wasn't mentioned in the notification text, perhaps there's a required amount of dialogue or time that…

      121 Cover
      by ianthe Kiriel burst out laughing while looking at Kana and the spirit. Though one couldn't continue speaking and the other's voice couldn't be heard, he could tell what they were both feeling. He held out the snow essence to her as she just blinked in a slightly dazed state. "Kana, try using the snow essence again." "Alright." Kana immediately swallowed the snow essence she received and closed her eyes. Perhaps because this was already the third time including this one, the process of embracing and…

      101 Cover
      by ianthe When they got out of the carriage, a fierce blizzard clawed at their surroundings. Thanks to the excellent performance of the protection bracelet Kiriel had given her, Kana felt less impact, but others took the full brunt of it. Denia muttered with furrowed brows. "The weather is definitely getting harsher as we get closer to the snow spirits. Looking at this, it'll probably get worse when we reach Mount Rosen." "Indeed." Kana straightened her hunched body. Her group lined up alongside…
