The appearance of Miru raised many questions, each forming a hovering question mark above my head. We had never told her where we were, yet she accurately found us and made her way into the heart of the Robias estate, the most prestigious noble house in the kingdom. The fact that she was here was clearly problematic, and it was obvious why, even without going into a detailed explanation. But personally, beyond all that, what intrigued me the most was the process by which she arrived here. I was extremely curious about how she managed to intrude and how she successfully made her way in, as if I were witnessing a magic trick. Everyone knows that every magic trick has its own hidden trick. However, knowing that didn't reveal the mystery behind the magic. The unpredictability, the unrealistic outcome, and the unimaginable truth were what made magic so enchanting. Miru's presence felt the same. Her appearance felt like watching magic, the process was intriguing, but without the wonder of a magic trick, it was just perplexing.

Erina, perhaps feeling the same way as me, looked at her a bit incredulously.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I mean... I can be helpful, right?"

It seemed like Miru expected a better reaction from us, as her face turned slightly apprehensive. It appeared she wasn't aware of the specific reason for our surprise. What was her motive for joining us without even knowing what we were up to? Although the situation was full of questions, her visibly anxious face made me feel like we should reassure her for now.

"Wait a minute... Maybe we misunderstood the situation. Can you answer my questions first?"

Miru, right? The name was so similar to the dragon I knew that I couldn't forget it.

"Mi...ru...? How did you know where we were and how did you get past the security?"

Hoping for some clarity, I threw these pressing questions at her.

"Huh? I just saw you guys while passing by."


The answer from Miru was so simple and straightforward that it was almost anticlimactic. She replied with such innocent candor that it felt absurd.

"That's all there is to it...?"

Erina, too, sought the truth from Miru, but the answer remained unchanged.

"Yeah, I saw you and your sister entering this mansion yesterday, and I thought I'd come over today to see what's up."

The truth that Miru presented was so unexpected and simple that it was almost deflating.

"Really...? Was it just a coincidence?"

The continuous coincidences with Miru were baffling, and I couldn't easily shake off the lingering doubts. But if she insisted so, what choice did we have but to believe her?

"I wonder what ties us together that we keep bumping into each other like this..."

Erina sighed, seemingly resigned.

"Sigh..."

I, too, exhaled, trying to suppress the overwhelming feeling of bewilderment.

Meeting so frequently, without any plans, and purely by chance felt miraculous and puzzling.

Is it really a series of coincidences? It felt too contrived...

However, considering the circumstances, we had no choice but to accept it.

"So, brother, it looks like you're going somewhere. Can I come along?"

With our questioning over, she boldly emphasized her earlier request.
