Arcueid lifted her fair, delicate arm, her five fingers clad in white silk gloves, index finger held high, pointing towards the distance. "The one paying has arrived!"

Haru followed Arcueid's finger towards the end of the street.

There stood a young man in a white priest's robe, adorned with gold and silver. His expression was somewhat anxious as he continuously fiddled with the ten gold rings on his hands, looking around as if searching for something.

"Merem Solomon!" Haru narrowed his eyes slightly, softly uttering the newcomer's name.

"Eh? So his name is Merem Solomon?" Arcueid said, surprised.

Haru's mouth twitched. He looked with pity at the anxious Merem ahead. He knew Merem had been Arcueid's attendant for eight hundred years.

After eight centuries—Altrouge still didn't know his full name—truly pitiful.

Merem, searching for Arcueid's trail, felt a strange gaze upon him. He immediately shivered, turning his gaze towards the source, then revealed an ecstatic expression. "Princess! I finally found you!!!"

Merem quickly rushed before Arcueid, speaking excitedly.

"Seeing you safe and sound, I am truly overjoyed."

"You know, modern human society has changed greatly compared to decades ago. Your acting on your own could lead to many small troubles."

"Also, your pace is too fast. Please be a little more mindful next time, so I can keep up with you."

"..."

Arcueid expressionlessly swept her gaze over the rambling Merem, pointed at the pile of plates on the table, and then pointed towards the cash register inside the cafe.

"Understood! I'll go pay immediately!" Merem immediately understood, quickly straightened up, expertly pulled out his wallet, and trotted towards the cafe's cash register.

Shortly after, Merem's urgent voice came from inside the cafe. "Boss, table 9 outside, I'm paying! Hurry up!"

From encounter to payment, it seemed Merem's eyes could only accommodate Arcueid. From beginning to end, he hadn't glanced even once at Haru sitting not far beside Arcueid.

"..."

Haru, sitting beside Arcueid, looked speechlessly at the excited Merem, the pity in his eyes growing stronger.

"This guy is capable. Without you saying a word, just pointing at the plates, he understood what you meant. No wonder you call him 'the one paying'."

"....." Arcueid tilted her head, looking adorably clueless. Then, seeing Haru's puzzled expression, she said,

"Because I always feel that talking to 'the one paying' makes things very troublesome. Plus, I don't think it's necessary to talk to him, so I don't."

"...Indeed, admiration is the emotion furthest from comprehension!" Looking at Merem digging out money to settle the bill, Haru fell silent for a moment. Recalling Merem's life story he had seen before, he spoke strangely.

Merem Solomon was born with a special ability to fulfill wishes to a certain extent. When his special nature was discovered by humans, to prevent Merem from escaping, greedy people cut off his four limbs, using him as a wish-granting machine.

Originally destined for tragedy, he was rescued by the passing True Ancestor King, the Crimson Moon.

The Crimson Moon, on a whim, also turned Merem into a Dead Apostle, seemingly treating him like an interesting toy.

However, Merem didn't think so. He regarded the Crimson Moon as his savior, worshipping the Crimson Moon pathologically.

When the Crimson Moon faded away due to carelessness, Merem seemed to transfer his spiritual dependence onto Arcueid, who looked identical to the Crimson Moon, crazily admiring Arcueid, even more so than the most fanatical idol chaser.

"Since the one paying has arrived, the accommodation should be arranged. Well then, Haru, 10 PM tonight, still here. You come find Roa with me. With two True Ancestors searching, we'll definitely find him at the fastest speed!"

Arcueid stood up, lifted her right hand, clenched her small fist, and spoke seriously.

"Well then, Haru. See you tonight~" Without waiting for Haru's response, Arcueid trotted onto the street, waved at Haru, and skipped away along the street.

"Princess, wait for me! I haven't told you the hotel's location yet!" Merem, having just put the change back into his wallet, immediately rushed out, quickly catching up to Arcueid's pace.

While passing Haru, Merem seemed to finally notice his presence, looking astonished, as if surprised someone had been there earlier.

"Farewell, spare tire!" Haru waved at Merem, speaking calmly.

"Spare tire? What does that mean?" Merem looked astonished. His name wasn't 'spare tire.'

"Oh, thank you!" Looking at the receding figure of Arcueid, Merem nodded as if understanding, and quickly ran to catch up with Arcueid's steps.

——

Although the coffee was finished, Haru didn't leave the cafe. He waited for about five minutes.

Elesia ran over flusteredly.

"Sorry, sorry, Haru! I suddenly remembered I left the faucet running at home! I actually left without permission and ran home to turn it off. I'm really very sorry!" Elesia bowed repeatedly towards Haru, her pretty face full of apology.

Dispelling Bystanders—was magecraft involving subconscious interference, making people subconsciously remember something they hadn't done and immediately leave the area where the technique was cast. Under Haru's curse power, it was further enhanced with an A+ rank conceptual judgment.

The result was the bizarre phenomenon of Elesia ditching a date to turn off a faucet.

"No worries! It was an emergency!" Haru somewhat admired the honest girl before him. Ultimately, to be able to state such a reason so directly required quite a strong heart. No wonder Elesia could survive Roa's possession in different timelines.

Elesia's face showed unease and constraint. Haru's forgiving words made her feel even more guilty. Suddenly, she looked puzzled. "Eh? Where's that blonde witch just now? She should have been here earlier, right?"

"She walked off down the street," Haru pointed towards the end of the street, speaking calmly.

"—That witch must have cursed me! Otherwise, how could I go home just because of a faucet!" Elesia ground her teeth, looking resentfully towards the end of the street, muttering softly.

Haru pretended not to hear Elesia's muttering, whistled, and then spoke. "It's already 2 PM. Weren't we going shopping?"

"Oh, indeed! Let's go quickly!" Elesia was immediately startled, quickly took Haru's hand, and the two trotted away from the cafe together.

On the street, Arcueid looked left and right, curiously observing the bustling street scene.

On a nearby utility pole, a crow's red eyes flickered slightly.

"Caw~~ Caw~~ Caw~" Sharp cries slowly began.
