The next day, the traveler and his companion headed to the office of the chief of justice.

<<I'm sorry, but Monsieur Neuvilette is busy at the moment.>> Said a green-tinged Melusine.

<<When can we talk to him? It's important.>> Paimon said.

<<I suggest you make an appointment. Monsieur Neuvilette has several work-related matters to attend to these days.>>

<<Seriously? Do I have to remind you who we are?->>

<<It's okay. Thank you for informing us.
Let's go, Paimon.>> The traveler said, embarrassed by the words that came out of his traveling companion's mouth.

The melusine nodded in response, then went back to what she was doing before the two arrived.

The traveler and Paimon stood aside behind a corner to talk about what they should do next.

<<Well? Do you have any ideas?>> Paimon asked.

The traveler touched his chin with one hand and thought about it for a moment.
Then he said:

<<First of all, we need to find a way to talk to Neuvilette.
Second, we need to make sure that Y/n and Neuvilette can talk to each other without interruptions.>>

<<I like it! So...um...how do we talk to Neuvilette? He's busy these days and most likely won't have a free moment to listen to our requests.>> The flying being pointed out.

<<..I think we should make that appointment.>>

That day seemed to be perfect, the sun had just risen and there didn't seem to be a single cloud in the sky.
A cool breeze was blowing and many shops were rushing to open to accommodate the day's customers.

Y/n was walking towards Furina's house, to bring her the breakfast she had just bought at the bar a few steps from Palais Mermonia.

As she was walking, she met a very familiar face.

<<Bonjour traveler and Paimon. How strange to meet you so early. The sun has just risen.>> Said Y/n.

<<Morning Y/n! It's strange to see you here too.>> Paimon said and then smelled a very good scent.

<<Mmh! What is that smell?>> She asked looking at the bag Y/n was holding.

<<This? It's just the breakfast Furina told me to bring her. A croissant with berries and another with cream for me.>>

<<They look so delicious. Traveler, what do you think if we too...oh right.>> Paimon said realizing a detail that had escaped her.

<<What's wrong?>> Y/n asked.

<<Well you see, we're trying to talk to Neuvilette about...you know what.>>

<<Oh.>> Y/n said.

<<But don't lose hope, we're succeeding, right traveler?>>

The traveler nodded.

<<Good.
Good luck then. When you've managed to exchange a few words with him, let me know.>>

<<You can count on it.>>
