Stronghold (1)

In the end, Yan Ling agreed to watch over the Apostles of Darkness with me.

Though I could see the questioning gazes that came from them after I came back with Yan Ling.

She had calmed down too much that they couldn't help being filled with doubt towards this.

But I just ignored them as I led everyone to school.

Just like that, we were able to fall back into a routine where nothing happened for a week.

Though there were occasional tense moments between Yan Ling and the Apostles of Darkness, they were able to hold back in the end. At the very least, it seemed like both of them listened to me.

I thought that the peace would be kept a bit longer, but…

Elizabeth suddenly came with news for Veronica.

I was called along to listen to this news.

"I've found one of the strongholds that contains the secret research that the Blood Lord has been doing. I want your help in raiding it to find some clues as to what he's been doing."
