After the disaster was over, Lady Sicily came to take her to her side.

But it's different from what others think.

Lavinia did not immediately receive any high-end courses arranged by Lady Sicily, but was assigned a lot of work on the Volsiny reconstruction project.

However, considering that the girl's social qualifications and experience were still too limited, Mrs. Sicily did not directly participate in the arrangements. Instead, she archived and confirmed the files submitted by the other party after others had finished processing them.

Although Lavinia did not know the meaning of Lady Sicily's arrangement for herself, she knew the beliefs that the old woman held.

She saw it and was willing to believe that it would bring a future to Syracuse.

So she accepted the task and put in her utmost effort to do her best.

But even so, she was busy until midnight before she could barely finish today's work.

To be honest, everything is good now.

After all, when she first started repairing the project, her workload was much greater than it is now. At that time, she couldn't even go home... and this was with the support and help of others.

Dragging her tired body, she walked back to her home step by step.

Because the original house has been destroyed, the girl can only temporarily live in a small rental house that was temporarily allocated... These are the few habitable housing areas that were discovered later when the city was being cleaned up. Those who can be allocated such housing areas are generally important people in the construction of the city.

To be honest, Lavinia was a little surprised when Lady Sicily said she would allocate this house to her.

Because she really didn't know what she had done to be eligible for such a temporary residence.

but……

Pushing open the door, the girl looked at the deserted world in the room and couldn't help pursing her lips.

She walked in alone and sat in her seat.

Nothing in the room had changed, everything was the same as when she left it that morning...

In the room, the clock ticked.

She sat alone on a wooden chair without turning on the light, looking out the window.

There was a look of loneliness in his eyes.

Lights still flickered in the distance, and in the sky...

"Hey~ Are you back so early today?"

The cheerful female voice sounded again, and behind her, the wounded Cellinina dragged Lappland, who could no longer walk, back to the room.

When they arrived at the room, Cellinina threw Lappland aside casually as if she was disgusted, and rubbed her head, seeming a little tired.

"Ah."

Lavinia felt a little better when she saw her roommate had returned.

But after still not seeing the person she wanted to see, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Ms. Maria... hasn't come back yet?"

"No."

Lappland shrugged.

Maria has been like this for some time.

Although he takes the girls to training and practice every day without fail, he no longer has much rest.

Even if they wanted to see Maria, they could only do so within the specified time.

The rest of the time, Maria was taking care of her own business.

As for what to deal with... she wouldn't say, and they wouldn't ask.

"is that so."

Lavinia was feeling a little down.

Although she was now under the protection of Lady Sicily and no longer had to worry about those family members daring to attack her, the sudden loss of that sense of security made her feel very uncomfortable.

Everything she has now, in a sense, is inseparable from Maria.

If it weren't for Maria's order, Lappland and the others might not have been so persistent in taking her to the wake. If she hadn't gone to the wake, she wouldn't have been able to meet Lady Sicily.

There would be no opportunities today.

She didn't know if this was also part of Maria's arrangement, but she knew that Maria did fulfill the promise she had made to her.

I...saw the laws governing the operation of another world.

Lavinia didn't know what this change meant, but she knew that she would become a better person in the future.

She had always wanted to thank Maria.

In a sense, she was particularly envious of Lappland and the others.

At least they still have a chance to meet Maria.

As for myself...

I don’t know when we will meet next time.

……

Volsini, in an unremarkable room.

Maria sat silently in her seat, looked in front of her, and then looked at the Sicilian lady in front of her with a serious expression.

"That's not a good option."

"I know..." Mrs. Sicily's face was also depressed. She sighed, looking a little helpless.

"But...I don't have any more choices."

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

After a while, Maria raised her head slightly.

"I've also done some research on this aspect."

"No no no no……"

When Mrs. Sicily heard Maria volunteer, she quickly shook her head.

It's hard for her, an old lady in her seventies who is almost eighty. The frequency of her shaking head is even comparable to that of some young people.

Her expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.

Then, he forced a smile.

"This kind of thing... doesn't require you to personally take part."

"It's nothing...it happened all the time during my time in Yharnam."

"That's not necessary..."

"……Fine."

Seeing that Lady Sicily was so persistent, Maria didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Father Agnir finally brought up his fried eggs and bacon.

Although Maria didn't dislike this kind of thing.

But looking at the dry bread and obviously over-fried food prepared by the other party for herself and others, Maria still couldn't help but have a headache.

She didn't have high requirements for food, and didn't even care about the taste. After all, it was good to have something to eat in Yharnam.

But at least... at least the taste must be guaranteed, right?

Dry bread with dry eggs and dry bacon...

No water yet!

Is this really going to choke her to death?

"Is there something wrong with this food?"

Father Agnel didn't think there was anything wrong with his things, he just refused them with a grunt.

The bread tastes almost like a biscuit...

Maria was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

"I think... next time, I can make something to eat for you guys."

"...As I said before, Maria, you are our distinguished guest. How can we possibly let you cook?"

Although Lady Sicily found it difficult to swallow these foods, she still firmly refused after hearing that Maria was going to take action.

Although the food that Agnier made was really unappetizing, it was at least food.

But Maria...she really doesn't care about meat or vegetables!

Maria had shown it once before, and she had a deep memory of Maria's rough way of handling food.

She only cares about the taste and doesn't care what the food is or whether it tastes good or not... It's like she has no taste buds and can stuff anything into her mouth!

God knows how her pink little mouth, which makes you want to take a big bite and taste it, can fit all those things.

After struggling for a while, Maria saw that her suggestion was rejected by Mrs. Sicily again. She didn't say much and just continued to eat the dry bread.

While Lady Sicily breathed a sigh of relief, she also asked a question.

"What are your plans for Syracuse?"

Maria had been away for so many years, but Mrs. Sicily didn't think that Maria had come back because she suddenly became interested.

The purpose of coming back is probably for the previous Rotish.

Now that Maria is back safely, the result is self-evident.

What makes Sicily curious is how long Maria will stay here.

"Maybe...it will take some time."

Maria did not answer directly, but shook her head and fell silent.

Contrary to what Lady Sicily thought, she had indeed returned from the battlefield.

But she had not yet killed Rotish.

To be more precise, she failed to kill Rotish completely.

When Rotish was about to self-destruct, Maria successfully grasped the opponent's core.

Under normal circumstances, when Maria holds the core, she can devour those things by herself.

However, when Maria held it, she found that she was unable to absorb the opponent's core!

This is something unprecedented!

Such a surprise made her stunned for a moment.

The final result was that Rotish took advantage of this moment to escape...

This made Maria, who had just come to her senses, a little angry.

But Maria's success cannot be said to have been entirely in vain.

On the contrary, although she failed to absorb the opponent's core, she took over all of his abilities.

In other words, what escaped was just an ordinary thing with Rotish thinking.

Although there was no need to be on guard against this little thing, Maria was cautious and did not intend to leave.

Because she wasn't sure whether Rotish's inability to absorb the core was an isolated case or a special case.

Now is her chance to investigate everything, so she naturally won't leave so quickly.

As for Lady Sicily...

Maria didn't intend to tell them these things either.

Even a simple leak between superiors could easily change the trajectory of a person's life!

But Lady Sicily didn't dwell on these things. She just smiled and continued speaking in a low voice.

"Then there may be many opportunities for us to meet..."

"Um……"
