It rained all over the continent. At the Great Library of Pronoa, Chairman Temar stared blankly at the rain knocking on the window.

'I don't even know how the day went by.'

The Legendary Lord appeared, and Dr. Seward collapsed. Before he collapsed, Dr. Seward let out a shriek full of dismay and went mad despite the treatment that followed.

'What the hell did you see over the horizon?'

He is curious about the truth, but he didn't want to go crazy. Scholars who have been informed of the situation are understandably discouraged. The same was true of Temar.

'I wonder if the woman, Kyrie Buchanan, ran away well.....'

Temar was in the middle of that thought. He could see a black stain fluttering in the distance over the window.

"What is it?"

It was the moment he squinted his eyes to see the stain more closely. Something white flashed.

"Gasp!"

Bang!

The window on the front was broken at the same time. Temar managed to avoid it by throwing himself under the table.

'What the hell is today?'

Temar held his head out on the table with a tearful face. Then he was caught wearing a black cape, fluttering like wings, in his view.

"T, the legendary lord?"

Temar, who said so without realizing it, covered his mouth.

The Legendary Lord came to him at a rather rapid pace after finding Temar. Only then did Temar notice that he was holding someone.

"Body?"

[No.]

Temar cautiously approached the woman he had laid down. Her pale face and light purple hair were tangled in the rain. Blood was dripping from both legs as if they had been slaughtered. Temar was appalled.

"...is it Kyrie Buchanan?"

[Treat her, by all means.]

"M, m, medical class"

Temar shouted hastily. Soon after, doctors residing in the Great Library came running on the call. They checked Kyrie Buchanan's condition and took her on a stretcher, shouting that the condition was urgent.

Only then did Temar breathe.

"Oh, what a coincidence....."

While muttering, he turned his head when he realized that the legendary lord had not left yet. The legendary lord Nathaniel was standing in a rainy garden. His gaze did not fall from the door that Kyrie Buchanan was lifted out.

'Are you worried?'

With that thought, Temer, who looked at his face, closed his mouth without realizing it.

It was a terrible face. Even among the tranquility, there was a clear feeling that he would tear someone to death right away. But at the same time he seemed to be scared of something. That can't be true. Even though he's a great, arrogant legend.

However, the expression quickly disappeared when he was conscious of Temar's gaze. Nathaniel lowered his head a little with a heavy fatigue movement.

[What about Gray Buchanan? He's gonna have one little thing.]

"What? Buchanan's eldest son left Pronoa during the day....."

[...he ran away]

When he saw his black pupils growing, Chairman Temar managed to maintain a smile.
