One Hundred Days

An hour ago.

Paul and Clara were sitting in front of each other. Even though there was a pile of papers on her desk, Clara actually left them behind so that she could have a serious talk with Paul.

"So, why are you here? You're supposed to come back in a few months." Clara asked with a serious expression. The change of schedule took her by surprise, but Paul wasn't someone who would do it without any reason. So, she asked him first.

Paul explained Noel's worries and how the enemies behaved. Even Clara could connect all of them, so the speculation might be true.

Still, seeing how much Paul trusted Noel, it seemed he had figured out Iadre's real identity.

"It seems that you've figured it out, Paul."

"What are you talking about?"

"Iadre's identity."
