Red-Haired, Will You Be My Enemy?

Sabo thought of many things in an instant after learning that the Five Elders had personally contacted Maud.

He realized—

The World Government might very well be planning to use Moyou's life to threaten Maud.

Sabo suddenly felt that the matter had become troublesome. Just as he was about to ask for more details, Maud gave him no such opportunity.

Or rather,

Maud did not want to discuss the matter.

Understanding Maud's wishes, Sabo restrained his urge to keep asking.

"I'm sorry. I failed to protect Sunny and Moyou..."

He apologized to Maud instead.

As the person in charge of the operation, he felt that he could not shirk responsibility.

Maud did not accept Sabo's apology. He merely said that he would hurry over as soon as possible, then ended the call.

Sunny had suffered serious injuries and remained unconscious.

It was impossible to say that Maud felt no resentment.

His desire to keep Sunny by his side grew even stronger.

As for Sunny's dream...

Maud could give Sunny all the support she needed, so Sunny did not necessarily have to remain with the Revolutionary Army.

A short while later,

Maud went to Luo's room.

Luo was sitting at a table made of stone, writing something with his head lowered. He seemed to be preparing for his research on the deadly drug E.S.

When he suddenly heard Maud entering, he instinctively stopped writing and looked toward the door.

Seeing that it was Maud, Luo put down his pen and stood up.

Maud looked at him and said bluntly, "Luo, come out with me."

"Where?"

"To find Sunny."

"Okay."

Luo did not ask why.

After their brief exchange, he quickly gathered the notes on the table, as well as Oni-Kishin, which was leaning against the tabletop.

"I'm ready."

That was all
