After listening to Ilya's account, Luvia, who had been listening attentively the whole time, also had an anxious look on her face.
After all, Miyu was like a younger sister to her, so how could she not be anxious when she heard that Miyu was missing?
"Let's go back first and see what happened."
"Well, that's the only way."
Once they had decided on their plans, the two immediately got to work.
"But before that..."
Almost simultaneously, both of them glanced at Kanzaki Teru, who had suddenly spoken.
"What do you want? You perverted lolicon!"
"I already said it was a misunderstanding!"
Despite his explanation, the two men saw Kanzaki Teru's words as nothing more than excuses.
"I'll go with you too."
"Huh!? You're coming with us?"
"No need. Our own affairs are none of your business."
It was only natural that both men displayed obvious hostility.
After all, it seems suspicious that someone who looks like they just kidnapped someone like their sister is suddenly so eager to help.
"I think you wouldn't be able to solve this problem without my help."
"Oh ho ho, who do you think you're talking to? I am Luvia Celineta, the current head of the Edelfelt family."
I need your help? That's quite a joke.
Hearing Kanzaki Teru say that, Luvia revealed her arrogance even more clearly.
However, Kanzaki Teru knew very well that this arrogance would only be shown when dealing with enemies.
Although Kanzaki Teru has other options, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
Just as he was pondering how to persuade the people in front of him, a slightly immature voice rang out.
“Um…”
"What's wrong, Ilya?"
"Can't we bring our older brother along?"
"Huh!? You mean seriously, Ilya!? You actually believe such a suspicious guy!?"
"I feel that the older brother is not a bad person. He has been helping me all the way, without any reason."
Compared to Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, who use rational thinking, Illya is more willing to trust others based on her feelings.
"That's definitely an act she put on to lure you in! That's how all lolicon are these days!"
"Yeah, Ilya, this guy doesn't look like a good person at all!"
Even in front of them, the two showed no regard for propriety, saying whatever came to mind.
"I was really underestimated..."
"But if you say that, Ilya..."
However, it's possible that Illya's words touched Rin Tohsaka's heart, or perhaps she couldn't stand Illya's coquettish expression.
At that moment, she turned to look at Kanzaki Teru again, but her eyes were still full of hostility.
"You need to show me your abilities; I don't want to bring along a burden."
It was a perfectly reasonable judgment, even though they said they wanted to see Kanzaki Hikaru's strength before deciding whether to take him along.
Chapter 394: Target
However, no definition of strength has been made; in other words, the intention is to discourage Kanzaki Teru.
This method might work on ordinary people, but unfortunately...
"I've already demonstrated my strength."
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you notice the strange stares around you?"
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, Tohsaka Rin looked around, wanting to see if there was anything unusual.
Even after looking around, her face was still full of doubt.
Seeing Rin Tohsaka's expression, Teru Kanzaki glanced at Luvia behind her.
At that moment, it was as if he suddenly remembered something, and he felt a sudden realization.
"So this is ah......"
After all, these two people are usually quite conspicuous, so they've gotten used to being stared at with strange looks by those around them this week.
"Okay, do you guys know Kenneth?"
"What are you talking about! Kenneth is one of the twelve monarchs. How could anyone in the Clock Tower not know him?"
"So what do you think of his abilities?"
When faced with Kanzaki Hikaru's question, Luvia showed a disdainful expression.
"Although he has some personality issues, his strength is absolutely unquestionable. Even among the twelve monarchs, he is considered to be one of the more powerful fighters."
"Heh, how dare you say someone has a personality problem?"
Upon hearing Luvia's reply, Rin Tohsaka revealed a mocking smile.
"How dare you, you lowly woman, talk about me like that?"
However, Luvia did not show any dissatisfaction in the face of Rin Tohsaka's sarcasm, and even calmly made a counterattack.
"Really? Is that person considered quite strong?"
With his arms crossed over his chest, Kanzaki Teru nodded as he said this (cdfb).
What do you mean by that tone? Do you think you're stronger than him?
Seeing him like this, almost everyone had the same thought.
However, as members of the Clock Tower, Luvia and Rin Tohsaka were well aware of Kenneth's strength.
They simply couldn't imagine that Kanzaki Teru was stronger than Kenneth.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
"Ha, even bragging requires a draft, how could that be possible!"
Although Kanzaki Teru said that, neither of them believed him at all.
“I can vouch for him that what he said is true.”
At that moment, a deep voice rang out, and looking in the direction of the voice, they found that the person who had come was Weber.
"teacher?!"
"teacher?!"
Upon seeing who had arrived, Luvia and Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
"Why are you here?"
"Do I need your permission to see my own students?"
"No...no, that's not what I meant."
Even the usually arrogant Luvia has completely lost her sharp edge in front of Waver, appearing extremely respectful.
"Teacher, is what you just said true?"
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. If you can, you should take him with you."
"If you say that, teacher..."
With Weber's help, the two of them stopped being so hostile towards Kanzaki Teru.
"You should set off quickly, and remember to report back to me if anything happens."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
After agreeing, the two immediately began packing their luggage to prepare for departure. However, Kanzaki Teru had only just arrived and did not intend to leave immediately.
"Is there anything else?"
Noticing Kanzaki Hikaru's gaze, Weber also spoke up to ask.
"Did you write this?"
As he spoke, Kanzaki Teru took out a parchment scroll from his suitcase.
"This...this is!"
Even Weber, who appeared remarkably composed, was somewhat surprised when he saw what Kanzaki Teru was holding.
"Why do you have this?!"
“This was given to me by a kind person. Judging from your reaction, it really was written by you.”
"Yes, it's me, so what?"
At this point, Weber openly admitted it.
What Kanzaki Teru showed him was a part of his conjecture about the truth of the world, which he had obtained from Assassin at the time.
Does the content recorded above reflect your true thoughts?
"Of course, I believe there are still unsolved mysteries in this world, and the answers to these mysteries may not be explained by magic."
"Actually, this is the reason I came to find you. It's what I've been searching for all along."
Upon hearing Kanzaki Hikaru's words, Weber tilted his head in confusion.
"What do you want to know?"
