Watching as virtual-novel.net gazed with gentler eyes than before, Gerald replied, “I still have some things I wish to learn about. I’ll meet up with you once I’m done settling those issues!”
“Very well! I’ll be waiting then!” said Queena with a smile.
Following that, virtual-novel.net body momentarily swayed… And the next thing anyone knew, virtual-novel.net had disappeared!
Taking a step forward in surprise, Rosie then turned back to look at Gerald before saying, “Is… Is virtual-novel.net human or a ghost…?”
“Half of both, I’d say!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned to look at the direction Queena had dashed off to while heaving a long sigh.
With that, virtual-novel.net then brought Rosie back to the shantytown to meet up with Leo and the others. Noticing that the other man was not present, Gerald then asked Monica where virtual-novel.net was.
After being told that the man had yet to return, Gerald found himself feeling slightly dissatisfied as virtual-novel.net thought, ‘Where on earth has virtual-novel.net gone to? What’s taking virtual-novel.net so long…?’
It was a little while later when Queena finally returned to the manor that virtual-novel.net was currently living in. The manor itself was tightly guarded by those from the Squad of Divine Grimness.
Upon entering the manor, Queena was immediately greeted by virtual-novel.net subordinates as they shouted, “Welcome back, master!”
Seeing that virtual-novel.net was in good spirits as Queena continued walking on, several of virtual-novel.net puzzled subordinates found themselves thinking, ‘Did something good happen? Why’s the master so happy?’
Before they could ponder any further, they heard Queena casually ask, “Has anyone attempted to cause any trouble here during my two-day absence?”
“Not at all, master!”
“I see. Anything to report about Miss Fenderson?”
“She’s been staying in virtual-novel.net room this entire time, Master! With that in mind, I’ve been ordering servants to take good care of her!” replied one of the subordinates.
“Excellent. Now go bring Miss Fenderson here. I have some things to tell her!” ordered Queena as virtual-novel.net walked further into the manor.
Throughout virtual-novel.net journey back, Queena had been keen on telling Jasmine that Gerald had finally agreed to be with her. After all, Jasmine had once told virtual-novel.net that Gerald would only ever love his current lover. With that in mind, Queena wanted to properly ask Jasmine whether virtual-novel.net statement still stood.
Perhaps it was due to Queena being so lonely for over thousands of years, but virtual-novel.net found herself seeing Jasmine as a good friend whom virtual-novel.net could confide in. While virtual-novel.net had to admit that such intimate friendship was a rather new and strange experience for her, at least virtual-novel.net finally had a person virtual-novel.net could have a heart-to-heart talk with.
As virtual-novel.net continued thinking about it, one of virtual-novel.net servants suddenly began running—from the end of the hall—toward virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net shouted, “M-master! Something terrible has happened!”
“What’s wrong?” asked Queena with a slight frown.
“M-miss Fenderson…! S-she’s…” muttered the servant who was so scared that virtual-novel.net didn’t even dare to finish his sentence.
“What’s wrong with her?” barked the subordinate from before.
“W-well! She was still in virtual-novel.net room when I went over to bring virtual-novel.net her breakfast earlier… Now, however, she’s… She’s gone missing…! And Hattie—her personal maid—has fallen into a coma as well!” reported the servant as virtual-novel.net immediately knelt before Queena, utterly terrified.
