The One You Called (Continued)

Celinina was also somewhat helpless.

She thought for a moment, then took off her clothes, turned on the shower, and used the sound of the water dripping onto the ground to cover up their conversation.

"That monster... there's definitely something wrong with it!"

"The three of us know... but so what?" Lappland seemed rather nonchalant.

Although she sensed something was amiss, her knowledge base was clearly insufficient for her to think about many things.

In this situation, we really can only rely on Celinina.

"The potion Lady Maria gave us... why is it effective against this monster... does Lady Maria know something?"

"And that line... Cainhurst, who is that?"

"And... Banshees, Sarkaz... are they the Sarkaz mercenaries Father mentioned who wandered here?"

A barrage of questions flooded Celinina's mind, making her somewhat annoyed.

But no matter how difficult the problem, they have to face it.

After struggling for a while, the girl made a decision.

"We must write to Ms. Maria immediately to tell her what's happening here!"

"Writing letters is fine, of course... but do you really think it's a good idea?" Lappland's eyes were clear. "Do you really think our letters can be sent out?"

"...What do you mean?" Celinina frowned, revealing a hint of displeasure.

But Lappland simply continued speaking.

"I don't want to be too explicit, but, Celinina, we're friends, right?"

Why are you asking this?

"I'm just worried that you'll get angry if I make it too clear," Lappland shrugged.

On her fair shoulders, her smooth skin remained free of any water droplets.

She simply gazed at the girl calmly.

"The place where we just fought... is right in the city center."

"I don't know what kind of country Columbia is, but today's observations have shown me that the Texas Family is the one enforcing the law in this city."

"If it's not due to lax regulation, then it must be..."

Celinina's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice remained calm.

But Celinina gritted her teeth.

"Shut up!"

"... Okay, okay~"

Seeing Celinina's strong reaction, Lappland behaved herself and remained quiet as soon as she was told to.

She understood Celinina's complex feelings at that moment... It was normal for her not to believe it.

Even Lappland couldn't believe that the Texas Family, founded by Salvadore, would do such a thing.

But... ever since she met Leonardo, she felt that sometimes it's not appropriate to make judgments so quickly.

After all, there are no rules that can definitively say that an excellent leader is also an excellent father and educator.

No one really knew what kind of person Leonardo was...

After a while, Lappland saw that Celinina had calmed down before she slowly continued to speak.

So, what do you plan to do?

"... Find Notarial Office."

After her initial confusion, Celinina gradually calmed down.

She wasn't an unreasonable person, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, she also realized that Lappland's concerns were justified.

The Columbia of today is not the Columbia she knew.

In this city, they had no one to trust but each other.

Everything should be done with caution.

In such circumstances, the best messengers are the Laterano who listen to no one.

Aside from the general consensus in Terra Originium is dangerous and the Sarkaz are dangerous, the Laterano are considered trustworthy.

Although those somewhat rigid individuals are often difficult to reason with, they will fulfill their promises even at the cost of their lives if they can be persuaded.

Therefore, these people are the best choice if you want to send the letter confidentially.

"The Laterano... that's a good choice."

Lappland was quite relieved that Celinina was still able to remain calm. After exchanging a few more words, the two quickly finished their showers.

Celinina began writing, completing the content as quickly and concisely as possible, and then handed it over to Lappland.

"I'll deal with the other people who might come. You just find a way to get this letter to the people at the Notarial Office... Is that alright?"

"Peace of mind~"

Lappland readily agreed to Texas's request.

Doesn't she trust you to handle things yourself?

Late at night.

Although it's known as the city that never sleeps, it's clear that it's far from truly a city that never sleeps.

By this time, the number of pedestrians on the streets had visibly decreased.

On the scattered streets, only a few security personnel were working.

And Lappland, amidst this group, ran step by step toward the Laterano Notary Office.

As a type of building found throughout Laterano around the world, Notarial Office are not political venues; regardless of the country in which they are established, they are always registered on commercial land.

I don't know who came up with this idea, but although it's a bit troublesome, it has to be said that it has indeed made it easier for Laterano to build its own Notarial Office around the world.

As for what to sell...

The Laterano, of course, sell guns!

That's just what they say, but most of what they do here is provide repair services and a variety of other services to other Laterano people.

As for whether the weapons can be sold... the Laterano people don't really care about that.

After all, their patent rights regarding firearms mean they don't need to worry about local consumer demand or other issues.

Upon arriving, Lappland didn't waste any time and immediately revealed her Night Watcher badge.

The Sankta woman at the front desk, with a cold expression, remained silent for a while, then pulled out a thick book, flipped through it a few times, and finally nodded.

"Hello, do you need the protection of Notarial Office?"

The other person spoke with extremely fiery words, and even while speaking, their eyes kept glancing towards the door, as if to prevent anyone from following Lappland.

"No... I need you to deliver this letter to the Night's Night Watcher leader in Volsinii, Siracusa, as quickly as possible." Lappland handed the sealed envelope to the other party, her expression grave.

"This is extremely urgent... the sooner the better!"

"..."

Upon hearing Lappland's words, the Sankta woman paused for a moment, then frowned.

"There will be a direct flight to Siracusa tonight. Conservatively speaking, we can deliver the text message to your designated location within three days at the earliest."

"Very good!"

"But..."

The Sankta woman ignored Lappland's subtle expression and spoke earnestly.

"According to the Laterano Notary Office's work manual, we are not permitted to engage in political activities originating from any particular country..."

"I know that... What's wrong?"

"If it's just a regular letter, we can deliver it for you, and it will definitely arrive in about a month. But... if you want to arrange a special flight, we need to check the contents of the envelope."

The Sankta woman spoke in a measured and deliberate manner.

Although she knew that given the distance between Siracusa and Columbia, it was highly unlikely that any political intrigue could occur between the two.

But... rules are rules, it's just that the seriousness is ingrained in the bones of the Sankta!

But Lappland frowned.

"No!"

She had also seen Celinina's letters.

Therefore, she knew that the envelope contained information about special potions and monsters.

She couldn't let anyone know about these things...

"If I cannot verify what is to be delivered, then I'm sorry, even with Mr. Agniel vouching for the Gray Hall, I cannot decide on the shipment..."

The Sankta girl didn't seem to mind Lappland's rejection.

She simply nodded slightly and handed the letter back to the girl unopened.

Then he stood still, watching the other person and waiting for their judgment.

After all, Gray Hall is another name for the Laterano Notary Office, only its practices are more unusual.

If Lappland would agree to let them see the documents, they would naturally be willing to transport the information.

The premise is that it doesn't contain too many sensitive elements.

Can...

"Isn't there any other way?"

Lappland clutched the envelope, her brow furrowed.

"Yes, but with normal shipping, it would take about a month."

The Sankta girl spoke in a measured, deliberate manner.

"But I need it as fast as possible!"

"Then only special flights are available."

"Then..."

"This requires us to examine the contents of the letter."

The Sankta woman anticipated what Lappland was about to say, her words devoid of any impatience, as calm as a robot.

This gave Lappland a real headache.

However, she quickly came up with a solution.

She picked up the paper and pen again and rewrote the letter.

"Can we deliver it now?"

"... Okay." After carefully examining the document, which appeared to be written in one continuous stroke like a cursive script, the Sankta woman hesitated for a few seconds.

Clearly, she couldn't understand what was written on it.

Regardless, this letter complied with the shipping regulations, so she nodded slightly and quickly packed it up.

Lappland, having accomplished all of this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they are facing very difficult problems, the thought that Ms. Maria is behind them always gives them the courage to take on any challenge.

Of course, the letter would take three days to arrive; if Ms. Maria was lucky, it would take three days, and if she was unlucky, it would take a week.

The round trip took ten days.

They have a lot to do in these ten days...

Lost in thought, Lappland, clutching the envelope, hurriedly left the Laterano Notary Office, intending to find a secluded corner to burn Celinina's letter.

But not long after leaving the Notarial Office, Lappland sensed something was wrong.
