At the same time as the strategy was decided, Milim said that she is going to use Dragon Nova, her strongest magic.

Under the cover of the extremely dangerous attack, indeed befitting to be called a mass extinction magic, she told me that she’ll let me go.

She once said that she wanted to show it to me and Ciel also has an interest in it, so I accepted her suggestion......

I thought I was going to die.

No, I’m serious.

I wish that she mentioned what kind of magic it is.

Milim doesn’t boast this as her strongest magic for nothing. I stopped time[1], so I was safe, since I escaped right away, but Diablo was in a terrible situation since he lost half of his body.

Oh dear, he’s acting as if he’s dying, what should I do with him, geez…

I can’t make fun of Milim ever again, I now see her in a new light.

But as the result, Milim made herself more trustworthy towards Lucia.

Milim shot a Dragon Nova and killed the body which was pretending to be me, and retrieved it to Lucia. Then, in order to make her think that I’m dead, I canceled “Eternal Pain” which had ensnared Lucia.

In that way, Milim succeeded in making Lucia trust her as well as infiltrate into the enemy’s stronghold.

As I hid myself, waiting for Milim’s signal, I slipped into the darkness with teleport.

Well then, while staying somewhere calm, I begin to think about various things.

The first is the change in Ciel that I felt a while ago.

About “Eternal pain” too, but I believe that Ciel’s ability has increased greatly.

Yet, I’m more bothered about my miscalculations on Gobuta’s growth limit.

(Hey, don’t you think that Gobuta’s rapid growth is a bit abnormal?

How much has he surpassed your calculations? And, isn’t the calculation deviation too extreme?)

That is the what I’m worried about.

Because up till recently, at the time when I still called her Raphael-sensei, it was rare for her predictions go awry.

I mean, as far as I remember, the only mistake in Raphael-sensei’s calculations was the nature of Veldora’s attack.

And yet, she incorrectly predicted Gobuta’s growth speed, isn’t this disappointing coming from Ciel? No matter how much of a genius Gobuta is, I wasn’t convinced at all.

Because I was so doubtful, I asked Ciel but,

《That is……whilst performing the calculation, deeper information was detected…… as a result, a large deviation has occurred.》

So I was informed.

In other words, since Gobuta’s ability increased so much, conversely the accuracy fell huh.

No, rather than that――

Isn’t the fluctuation happening due to the appearance of her emotions?

――The idea flashed in my mind.

This might not be a good example, but just like when taking a test, the more you check your answer, the more you question yourself.
