Evelyn had a sudden thought.

'Now that I think about it, isn't this a typical cliche thing that happened in novels? Villains meeting in a shabby hideout and things like that? Why can't they have a proper meeting place like me?'

​​

She shakes her head that she was in a typical trope but immediately pushes the thoughts down when she remembers that the novel has ended one year ago.

Before they can step in the door leading the path to the room, Chrisfold stops and pulls Evelyn and talks to her in her consciousness.

'What?!'

'There's someone powerful here.'

Evelyn knit her brows, because the spirits rarely say that someone is powerful as they themselves are the powerful ones.

'What do you mean?' she still asked amidst her confusion.

'We should go… I'll just ask earth spirits to spy on them, leave it to me. I have a bad feeling'

'But…'

Evelyn is getting frustrated. A few steps and they can sneak in and see people who are meeting the Saint in secret but considering her spirit reactions she needed to back out today.

'Fine!'

Evelyn grits her teeth and jumps again from the window and back to the narrow alley, Chrisfold follows her. She glared at the house that they just sneaked in and out without getting the information she wanted.

"I'll ask some spirits and connect their voices to you…" Chrisfold extends his hand to Evelyn.

Evelyn closed her eyes, and held her sigh.

'At least, I can hear them…' she said to herself to let the anger subside even a little bit.

She held his hand and Chrisfold quickly closed his eyes and so did Evelyn.

'Wow… the guardian is here!'

'Everyone, look! The guardian is here with his contracted human!'

'She can hear us! The earth guardian let her hear us. Yey!'

Soon, the cheery sound of the lower spirits can be heard.

'This is the first time that a human speaks with us!!!'

'We are spirits but in this form we are called elementals!'

'Yeah! When we grow big and evolved we will become spirits and greater spirits! Hehe!'

'So, right now, we preferred calling us elementals!' The lower spirits that preferred calling themselves elementals said.

And Evelyn started to speak after the voices died down.

'Can you go inside and spy one of them? Also tell us what they are saying.' Evelyn said and Chrisfold chimed in.

'Tell us everything as well as their looks.'

Then the voices speak again.

'That's too easy!'

'Are you going to screw someone up?'

'Count me in! Count me in!'

The elementals chimed in and Evelyn smirked.

"This is kind of convenient…"

"I told you… leave it to me."

Evelyn and Chrisfold started to walk out of the alley and back to the restaurant that they went to earlier.

They still held hands while walking, Evelyn didn't mind because it was her spirit, so she just walked nonchalantly.

When they are near the restaurant, Evelyn and Chrisfold stop.

"What the-"

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

Chrisfold and Evelyn were shocked as their connection was cut, well mostly Evelyn's connection got cut from the elementals.

The person in front of them was eyeing them with viscous golden eyes. He was glaring at Chrisfold. And Evelyn's hand and Chrisfold separated together. He then looked at Evelyn like he wanted an explanation.

Evelyn is dumbfounded.

"What are you doing here, Gab?"

"That's what you're going to ask after I come back without rest?"

Evelyn is once again dumbfounded and can't come with a reply as she saw the black eye bags under his eyes.

'It's just a few days since he left the Levingstone Kingdom and he's here?'

Before her mind becomes clouded with the things about why Gab is here, Chrisfold snatched her hand from Gab.

"Hey! Why the hell does the protector of the west gate of the Academy here and is holding Miss Adelyn's hand?!"

Chrisfold found Gab amusing who was fuming in anger with his black eyebags on his eyes and replied in a taunting tone.

"And what does it have to do with a brat like you?"

Evelyn closed her eyes at what she saw felt like children bickering with each other, so before the conversation dragged long, she pulled Chrisfolds hands and Gab's hand.

"Stop this, I have important things to do and important discussions to hear. Gab, we will talk later, for now, you should go with us and Chrisfold…"

She shot a glare to his spirit who is enjoying the bloodshot glare of Gab.

"What…?" Chrisfold shrugged as he chuckled and smiled at Evelyn. Gab is still glaring daggers at him.

'This guy! I forgot that he finds people amusing who always go against him!' she shook her head as she pulled the two to the restaurant.

'Ooohhh!!!! The pink hair girl is saying some vicious things… ahem! "I'll kill Allan using my light magic. I'll put a curse on him." That's what she said.'

'She looks ugly… eww!'

'Oh the guy with red hair answered "Don't rush things, the capital has known what happened to Duke Keene"... ugh, he looks so evil!'

'His eyes look like the abyss!'

When Evelyn heard that in her mind, she knew who the other person was.

'It's that bastard Adley's aide.'

She was wondering why this aide who is part of the house Sloane is saying some vicious things.

'Is he the one who is coming with this kind of plan?' she thought

While Evelyn and Chrisfold have their eyes close and their hands are locked with each other, Gab is looking at the hands of the two with gritted teeth.

"Tsk!" he clicked his tongue as he watched the intertwined hands.

'Bastard!' he thought as he looked at Chrisfold's way.

Gab then remembered that it was just a few days that Evelyn called her "my Gab", and now she is holding hands, with the protector of the west gate of St. Prisch Academy, who knows why he's here with Evelyn when his job is to protect the Academy that has no master because Carsillion died.

He clicked his tongue again because Evelyn said that she needs to shut up because they are doing some investigation.

'Investigation? While holding hands?!' he felt frustrated.

Well, Evelyn doesn't have time to explain everything, so she just told Gab to shut up and sit tight for a while. And the result? Of course, a sulking Gab.

Chrisfold and Evelyn are still focusing their minds to the elemental's voice and so they didn't hear or see the front of Gab's face.

'"Our plans will be complete after we get our hands in Allan's power and blood… it's such a shame that we didn't get to Evelyn's power and heart…" they're all viscous!'

'Be careful, you human who contracted the great spirit of Earth mana!��

The voices of elementals are ringing inside their heads!

Evelyn knit her brows because of their loud sounds.

'They're leaving!'

'The vicious and evil people are leaving!'

'Looked at them smiling like they never said that they wouldn't kill someone!'

Evelyn then started to chuckle, her eyes still closed and her shoulders went up and down as she separated her hand from Chrisfold's hand. Chrisfold started to stare at her as well as Gab.

"They're really starting to pissed me off"

Chrisfold and Gab flinched as they heard the viciousness in Evelyn's voice.

***

Silvester made contact with the temple of light with an excuse that he heard the marvelous stories of the Saint who have been helping the poor and keeping the borders of the Levingstone Kingdom safe from monsters as they have the protection of Light brimming from the holy saintess.

"Welcome, your highness." The bishop of the main temple of light that is located at the capital are the ones who have received the letter that the neighboring Prince would visit the temple.

Of course as they looked at it, they have been increasing their influence and if the neighboring prince would be a believer of their temple then they would have easy access to the Perpiru Kingdom unlike what they are doing that stealthily spreads their reach.

The bishop smiles benevolently to Silvester and his group. Of course, Evelyn disguised as Adelyn, Chrisfold and Gil are also disguised as a knight, and Sir George who came back from his assignment.

Evelyn didn't say anything to Silvester when she said that she needed the two when they went to the temple of light. Of course, Silvester and George were shocked as they knew the face of the other person.

He was the youngest protector of the west gate, where it is said that he is a swordmaster with a high mana and can cast spells simultaneously. Chrisfold is that famous, so he needed to disguise himself.

The green hair became a dark shade of chestnut and his eyes as well. Of course he cast it himself. It was pretty much easy for him, and that's how Silvester found out who made Evelyn's disguise.
