“We’re going to Purgatory Island again!? And at night this time!? What’re you thinking?!” Hans yelled . If this was going to happen, then I shouldn’t have told Nico about the Hollows .
“I’ve seen Hollows at the border of Wester . However, Nico is only going to the north this time . It’s a safe area, and if I want to show him Hollows then there’s no better place . ” Prince Albert calmly answered Han’s violent exclamation . Based on what Nico heard from me, he came up with the shallow idea that it was alright for him to see them since I’ve seen them .
“Based on what proof are you saying it’s safe? You’re probably going to use a barrier box, but barrier boxes aren’t perfect . The range is limited, and if someone loses their calm and goes out of the barrier then they’ll become victim to the Hollow . We can’t let the royal family face such danger . ”
I looked at Hans in admiration . He has never been out of kingdom, so he’s never used a barrier box before, but he knows about the dangers . If he was in Frontier, then he would definitely be a skilled hunter .
“Liththwe chiwdren are shcared of Howwowsh . ” (Little children are scared of Hollows) I backed Hans up too . It’s not a pleasant thing, and I think they’re scary enough for children to have nightmares and cry at night . No matter how much Nico wants to see them, I don’t think it’s something that he should see at his age .
“If you can do it, then Nico can too . ”
“You’re mishthawen . ” (You’re mistaken) I desperately tried to explain . If a baby sees a Hollow, then they would just blank out . However, the shock may be greater at an age where they understand that the ghost-like Hollows have the appearance of a person or animal .
“I’m not . If the baby Albans says that she saw them every day, then Nico should see them too . ”
Hans and I looked at Earl Coulter . He shook his head . He might be opposed to the idea, but he won’t stop the Prince . If it’s like that, then I’ll talk to the person himself, “Nico . ”
“Lei, I want to see them too . I can’t go out of Kingdom like you, Lei . If the Hollows are the origin of Kingdom, then it’s important to see them . ”

If the Four Marquises aren’t adults, then they can leave Kingdom . However, that’s impossible for the royal family .
“But it’s been a long time since that sentence was abolished . There shouldn’t be any Hollows with a solid appearance since there’re no living beings on that island . ”
“Fishhesh, and…”
That’s right . Fishes that jump to the surface . Stray animals . And perhaps those who want to commit suicide; a painless death is bliss .
Nii-sama quickly picked me up and buried my face in his neck to stop me from talking any further .
“If you have to take Prince Nico there, then Gill and I will go too . ”
“Lei two . ”
I was crushed by Nii-sama .
“Gill and I have hunted Hollows before, and we have Rhodolite swords . ”
It went silent for a moment and Oji-sama looked up .
“What are Albans and Lisburn making their heirs do…” Prince Albert muttered involuntarily . Hans seemed to agree with him this time, but he confirmed, “So, you’ll do it no matter what?” Then, he looked at the escorts . Graces was silent and nodded as if he had given up . The escorts have already tried to persuade them .
“Fine . But, Leilsama won’t be going, so some escorts will have to remain behind . I would like you to rearrange the escorts so that you can make sure Luke-sama and Gilbert-sama are also safe . ”

Hans, who didn’t think much of the safety of the royal family, is in a sense, a paragon of an Albans guard .
“Nii-syama . ”
“No . ”
“Nii-syama . ”
“You can’t . ”
Nii-sama anticipated my request and his reply was cold from the beginning .
“Nii-syama, thhe barrier…” Nii-sama quickly buried my face and took me out of the room so that I couldn’t say anymore than that .
“Lei, that was dangerous . What’s wrong? You’re always more careful,” Nii-sama whispered and Hans was behind us .
“Nii-syama, ith’sh wiwe Hansh shaysh . ” (Nii-sama, it’s like Hans says)
“What Hans said?”
Nii-sama looked at Hans who raised his eyebrow since he didn’t know what was going on .
“Bawwier box . ”

“The barrier box?”
“Ai . ”
Nii-sama tilted his head in confusion and I nodded .
“Peopwe wanth tho run away when thhey’re shurprished . They wiww weave thhe barrier shthraighth away . ” (People want to run away when they’re surprised . They will leave the barrier straight away)
“Certainly, the barrier box usually has a range of only three metres . It’s wide, and if you’re upset you’ll be out of range . ”
Nii-sama clenched his hands as if he had remembered something .
“And if you move the barrier box itself, then it’s over . ”
That’s right . That’s why I should go and keep the box with me .
“Lei, even if that’s true, I’m there . ”
“Lei ish bethther . ”
“That’s true, but…”
“Lei wiww awwaysh be nexth tho ith . ”
Nii-sama placed his hands on my shoulders like he had given up .
“Luke-sama,” Hans called Nii-sama’s name as if he had realised something .
“Alright . Lei might be safer in a place where everyone can see her . ”
“Sure, there’s less chance that she would be kidnapped that way, but…”
“Gill and I have a barrier box even if it’s for individual use . What worries me is what has been left behind on the island and which ship we will use…”
“According to Earl Coulter it’s fine . He hasn’t received any reports from the scouts that there are any suspicious people around . ”
I stared gapingly at Hans and Nii-sama . It appears that they still think that I would be kidnapped again .
“You don’t have to look like that . ”
Nii-sama wrapped my cheeks in his hands .
“Let Prince Albert show us what he has . It would be nice if he knew how naïve he is for thinking that Prince Nico can see them just because you did, Lei . ”
I think I was hallucinating when I thought that Nii-sama’s smile was scary .
Thus, we were going to Purgatory Island again in the evening .
