The anomaly within the Gospel made Roswaal's already clownishly ridiculous face look even more comical, yet tinged with a hint of ferocity.
"Just what is going on!" Roswaal desperately flipped through the Gospel, but all he saw were those vivid characters for 'Death' over and over again.
"Could it be that person from back then?"
The person Roswaal spoke of was naturally Fujino, who had disrupted his plans back then. However, even after all this time, Roswaal had never known for sure that it was Fujino who had ruined his scheme.
That night was like a nightmare to Roswaal, a humiliation etched deeply into his heart.
He had actually been sealed inside a tombstone without any power to resist for a full half-month. If he weren't a mage and didn't have a constitution different from others, Roswaal would have starved to death inside that tombstone long ago.
Whenever he recalled the events of that night, Roswaal felt both anger and fear.
"Wait! Emilia didn't come back today; does it have something to do with that?" At this thought, Roswaal fell into deep contemplation. But no matter how he thought about it, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't find Emilia now. Originally, he could have relied on the Gospel to help find her, but the Gospel was completely unusable now.
Everything was slipping out of Roswaal's control. He knew it, but he was powerless to stop it.
"No! There's still one person who can find them!" Having thought of something, Roswaal hurriedly stood up and left the room... On the other side, Fujino had changed into her pajamas, and her wet hair instantly returned to its original state under her control.
"Fujino... don't you have any other clothes?" Emilia's shy voice came from the side. Emilia's face was flushed red as she held a thin, skimpy nightgown in her hands.
"There's nothing else, you know?" Fujino said with a straight face.
However, Emilia wasn't that easy to fool. Although she knew there must be others, she knew Fujino simply wanted her to wear the one in her hands.
If it were a more normal outfit, Emilia wouldn't have minded, but the one in her hands was truly challenging her sense of shame.
"It's okay, Emilia, you can do it!" Fujino walked to Emilia's side and placed a hand on her shoulder to encourage her.
"Then why aren't you wearing it, Fujino?" Emilia asked, a bit annoyed.
"I don't need to. If Lia wants to, we can do it tonight..." Fujino whispered a few words into Emilia's ear, making her face turn even redder, like a cooked crab, as her eyes began to spin in circles.
"Alright, I'm just kidding. Take this instead." As Fujino spoke, another set of pajamas appeared in her hand—a normal pair.
"Fujino, you're teasing me again!" Emilia puffed out her cheeks to show she was unhappy, but against her bright red face, she only looked adorable.
"Alright, Lia, go and wash up quickly."
Fujino chuckled and ushered Emilia into the bath. Fujino didn't stay but walked straight out. She wasn't in a hurry to devour Emilia. Although under the contract, Emilia had essentially given her heart to Fujino, Fujino still planned to wait until the moment Emilia became Queen to devour her.
"Now, I'll go find Rem and Ram first," Fujino said expectantly.
