The next day Arthur decide to visit Crusch with Kise and Ludwig following him.
"Really, can you not so lovey-dovey in front of me at this early morning? It's making my mood drop to the lowest level "
"Then you must bring Emilia-sama with you" replied Kise while her hand holding Ludwig's hand tightly
"Nah.. forget it.. that will be a very awkward situation"
The reason he is here because he just remembers there will be a tragedy when Crusch going back to the capital after defeating the white whale, this is also will implicate Rem so he will interfere.
"Arthur-sama, my lord is waiting for you in her room, please follow me" Wilhelm as a retainer for Crusch was the one who invites them in, even if Arthur can teleport to her study room anytime, he prefer didn't do it because that will make the trust they have will vanish.
Crusch has several documents stacked on her table, and she is currently in the midst of her work, when she noticed they arrive she rose up from her seat and greet them.
"I'm sorry I can't meet you personally outside, as you can see I need to handle a lot of things here"
"You doesn't need to apologize, we are the one who intrudes you in your working time. Because you seem very busy I will to the point"
"Well, at least we can have tea? I will take a break anyway, so it doesn't inconvenience for me, do you have time?" Crusch interrupts Arthur for said his purpose right now and ask him to accompany her to take a break
"Well if you that polite than I will become a bad person here if I reject" Arthur decides to accept her offer, while they're waiting for the tea, Crusch and Arthur talking about other things
"You're coming with new face here, you're not introducing them?" Ask Crusch curiously
"Well they're the reason we're here, you're the one who didn't want me to talk about it yet, and now you're the one who wants to know it"
"Hmm? They're the main reason? Well you can say it now, Wilhelm will come with tea in a bit so we can start it now"
When Crusch finishes her speech Wilhelm coming with a tea set. after he arranges the tea he takes a position behind Crusch.
"Well I want to introduce you to my spirit, the beautiful one is Kise, she is a very good fighter, and another one is Ludwig, he is an accomplish earth mage"
"Please to met you, Crusch-sama" as if they're making a preparation beforehand, their speech is very unison.
"Spirit? Are you also a spirit mage? No, you're Similar with Julius?" Crusch shocked with this new information, in the throne room other than his physical strength is very great, his speed also unbelievable, and at the end, he even can use ice magic, and now there is a high chance he is also a spirit mage, on top of that his spirit also looks strong.
"I can't say I traveling to every corner of the world, but I was sure if there is no spirit look like them" Wilhelm can be said as the one who sees the world more than Crusch and Arthur.
"If you didn't see it yourself it doesn't mean it was impossible to exist"
"You're right, I apologize for my mistakes"
"You didn't need to apologize, you're really different from what I heard when you're young. I will leave my two spirits here, they will help you fight with the white whale. If you think they're not capable you can have a spar with them, they're fighting together, supporting each other, so their strongest point, not their individual battle power"
"I'm very thankful for your help on this expedition, we can't just accept anyone who wants to be a part of this expedition, but if it's your spirits that is another thing"
"Well, my other reasons to come here is to warn you. If you're success slaying the White whale don't split your troops. you must come immediately to Roswaal mansion"
"Why? are you need our help with the witch cult?" This time Crusch can't just accept his warning
"You can say it as a way to avoiding calamity, I just have a bad feeling, maybe there is another member of the witch cult who came separately with the members of the first group that comes to Roswaal territory. I didn't have proof but I hope you can consider it"
"I will consider it, but won't it be a good opportunity to sweeps them if they really come?" Crusch asks with a confident smile on her face, but Arthur replied make her realize she is overconfident.
"Fighting members of the which cult is very dangerous if it involves the archbishop, their authority is not something we can brush off just like that"
"Arthur-sama, so you think the one who will come to your place is their archbishop?"
"If it just their regular member I can leave it to another person to take care of, but their archbishop is a different story. I just know about some of their authority but I didn't have a fighting experience with them so I can't be sure about their exact strength so I need to be careful with the upcoming battle"
"Then I will head to your warning before, do you need help for defeating the archbishop?"
"If my guess is correct, the one who will come is an archbishop that representing sloth, his authority makes it hard if there is a lot of people in surrounding so I hope you didn't enter battlefield blindly"
"Can you tell me what is his authority?"
"The most troublesome is unseen hand, Betelgeuse can cause physical interference by creating an invisible force field in the shape of a hand, he can dismember anyone easily with this authority"
"Is it really no other way to see the unseen hand?"
"There is, but theory and practice is a different thing, you didn't have time to practice on the battlefield"
"You're right about that. when I learn all about this from you I think you really know the White whale really will appear"
"I was already said the reason why I was here, so I will leave now, ah I nearly forgot, how about that brat?"
"He is doing fine, he is working hard every day to improve himself"
"You can't say something like that as work hard, Crusch. In my eyes, he is just trying to find a reason. He is too greedy for someone who didn't have the ability to support his greed. He must wake up soon and take note of someone who is always by his side rather than looking to the reflection of the moon on the water surface"
"You seem very care about the maid?" Crusch didn't have the intention to make fun of him so Arthur didn't mind it
"She is a good girl, in my eyes, she is too good for him. How I can say it... A protective brother. Maybe?" He looks out of the window and he saw Rem with Subaru there "I will leave her in your care"
"You can count on me"
"Thank you" and with that sentence, he vanishes from Karsten household
Arthur reappears in the Roswaal mansion where Emilia is in the midst of her routine morning training.
Puck floating near Arthur and sat on his shoulder
"You seem worried about something, do you need my help?"
"I worried, all of this still didn't enough to protect her. You also can feel it right... The upcoming battle is full of uncertainty so at that time I want you to use up all of Emilia mana and put her on sleep. I will teleport her to Roswaal residence in the capital and leave someone to protect her"
"Do you mean your spirit? Well all of them look dependable, and I even didn't know how much you have contract spirits is"
"I will leave it to your imagination to decide the number of my spirit"
"You didn't fun. Well look at the circumstances it's not time to jokes so you can leave Lia to me, I also didn't want her in here when the battle broke out"
"Arthur, you are here? Do you want to eat breakfast with me? I learn how to cooking from Rem before, do you want to try?"
"You complete your training?"
"Of course, I was never skipped my training"
"Then I will take your offer, do you need my help?"
"That's a good idea, I can't do everything myself"
Emilia and Arthur walk to the kitchen direction with Puck following from behind.
