Chapter 166: Exchange Students (1)
The plan for winter break as of yesterday was simple.
First, go to the Demon Castle. Then move to the Saliere estate under the guise of going to get research materials.
That was the deal I’d made with Jǫrmungandr–that she’d produce more uranium by winter break so I should come get it.
So I could use that as an excuse to go to the Saliere estate and come back. I’d spend a couple weeks there with Lotte, then return to the Demon Castle afterwards for the rest of the break.
Either way, I had to go to the Demon Castle. I had no choice as I’d promised Rosemary.
That was courtesy and the least I could do for my sworn sister.
At the same time, I had to be considerate of Lotte.
It was for no other reason but that my closest friend had suddenly become strange, so I couldn’t not worry about it.
If I thought about it, it had been since that early morning when Friday becameSaturday. She’d scolded me more than usual for coming home late, then had given me pointed looks all weekend.
But coincidentally it seemed that she herself wasn’t conscious of it. When we talked like usual, Lotte was herself.
Except in one case, when Rosemary was involved.
