No matter how many times I told Lucas, he always looked like he couldn't believe what I was saying.

Yeah, I didn't think he would believe it right away, though.

"I was the one who fed the fruit to the birds."

"...!"

"I was the one who sent you to the annex when the monster was imprisoned. I think I've helped you quite a bit, but if you keep doubting me, I'll be disappointed."

I wanted to cry even a drop of a crocodile's tears, but my eyes were dry.

"Even if it looks like this, your master has told me his name"

"...Don't lie. My master doesn't tell anyone his name."

"...."

I just remembered the situation when I went to give Richard his meal.

<Maid, call my name.>

<Come on.>

<Hurry.>

-Is that a man who doesn't tell anyone his name?

I sighed and threw the pouch I had received from the demon worshiper at Lucas.

"Take it."

Lucas, who suddenly received the pocket, gave a puzzled expression.

It seemed to be what he thought was.

"Open it."

"...."

Lucas opened the pocket and looked at what was inside with a frown.

Then he looks at me.

"You know what it is? A demon worshiper gave it to me."

Lucas nodded silently. Does it mean that he knows what it is?

"What the hell is that white powder?"

"....It's a sleeping pill."

"A sleeping pill?"

"It was originally made to put monsters to sleep, but-"

"Does it work even for Transcendents?"

Lucas nodded again.

To feed him at seven o'clock in the next five days means he's going to put Richard to sleep-.

Why the hell?

What is their plan?

"You must have heard the conversation in the warehouse, right? He told me to give him this sleeping pill at 7 o'clock in five days."

"...."

"Looks like the demon worshipers are up to something. I'll ask again. Will you cooperate with me or not?"

Lucas still didn't say anything. But soon his lips were opened.

"I'll do it."

Lucas looked at me and answered as if he had made up his mind.

I smiled.

"Then shall we share some of the information we each know? Did you see the face of the person coming out of the warehouse?"

"I didn't see it because he was wearing a robe."

I didn't expect him to come to the warehouse with his face exposed, but I was still disappointed.

"I should have asked first, do you know who the demon worshipper is?"

He nodded as if he were.

"Who is it?"
