“Even if my worries prove to be unnecessary, I won’t think they were foolish.”
“You’re unnecessarily firm in your beliefs.”
Unable to find a solution, we exchanged banters, but I was worried about what would happen next.
Then Noah, who was in my arms, tugged at my clothes.
“What is it, Noah?”
“…We can go.”
“Huh?”
“We can go now.”
I pondered what Noah meant for a moment, but soon I grasped what he meant.
“You mean we can go up to the third floor now?”
Nod, nod.
Noah nodded his head.
“How?”
“Authority.”
…Authority? Charlotte’s authority?
I immediately opened the system window.

– ……
I was surprised to see how much authority I had gained, all because I had been too diligent in my tasks.
‘But.’
…The authority of the Second Floor Administrator.
I still remember.
Valek transferred his authority to me as he died. But why?
“Are you saying that this authority can now open the way to the third floor?”
I asked Noah, but he was dozing off in my arms while I looked away for a moment.
When did he fall asleep?
It was absurd.
“Dietrich, come with me. We’ve got something worth trying.”
* * *
It rained last night.
The ground was damp, and their feet easily sank into the sticky mud.
“Damn! We can’t find anything like this!”
It just had to be that Dietrich disappeared around the start of the monsoon.
Fresh traces were covered by the rain, and releasing tracking dogs was pointless as the scent was completely washed away.
The temple still hadn’t stopped tracking Dietrich.
“But do you really think Sir Dietrich ran away?”
Quietly, a low-ranked knight muttered to the one next to him.
There was no one in the temple who didn’t know Dietrich.
Who wouldn’t know the most accomplished among the ‘children of the temple’?
Dietrich always completed the regularly held high-difficulty tests faster and better than anyone else.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason Dietrich was famous.
The ‘children of the temple’ were notoriously unpleasant and cruel.
The harsh life followed by accolades often spoiled them.
But Dietrich was always humble and kind.
He was considerate and kind to everyone, and many had witnessed his good deeds.
He was also famous for his handsome features, considered a masterpiece of the century.
“Anyway, it’s not like Sir Dietrich to run away.”
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
He was responsible and quietly got on with whatever task was thrown his way.
And it was well-known that Dietrich took care of the families of his friends who had died in the war.
He regularly visited them and dedicated himself to their well-being.
“Could something have happened to him? Maybe an accident…”
“An accident? Sure he’s kind and tender so you might have forgotten, but no ordinary accident could pose a problem for him.”
“That may be so, but it’s even stranger to think he would run away. It’s unbelievable.”
“What can we do about it? We just have to do as we’re told. They say even tracking the ‘mark’ was useless, so there must be something. Maybe Sir Dietrich has another side to him that we don’t know about.”
“Still, I’m sure something has happened to Sir Dietrich…”
“Quiet!”
Just then, the talking knight quickly jabbed his companion in the ribs.
Knights in white cloaks with ornate gold trimmings were approaching.
“Those knights…”
Their ceremonial gear was exceptionally sacred and splendid.
They all wore the same insignia around their necks.
‘The children of the temple.’
“We leave for Lindberg immediately.”
The man at the front spoke.
His name was Elias.
A rival and comrade who had grown up with Dietrich.
“There’s been a sighting of Dietrich heading towards Lindbergh.”
The voice of the man mentioning his friend’s whereabouts was cold beyond measure.
