Perhaps it was because the incident happened so suddenly, or perhaps because Yuto's arrival had overly shocked everyone present, their minds didn't react for a moment.
After Paimon shouted, the theater members standing on the stage finally began to rescue Miss Deelfi as if waking from a dream.
However, before everyone could officially begin the rescue, a purple bolt of lightning flashed before them, quickly rushing into the broken hole where Miss Deelfi was.
By the time they reacted, Yuto had already brought Miss Deelfi up from the dusty stage bottom and placed her in the audience seats of the theater.
Looking at the bloody Miss Deelfi, Yuto slowly closed his eyes. The Electro element in the air slowly approached Miss Deelfi, roughly reading her current body data and feeding it back to Yuto.
After about half a minute, Yuto slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Miss Deelfi is fine, it's just that the incident was sudden, and coupled with her recent illness, she's not in good spirits and is currently in a state of unconsciousness."
"I will go immediately to invite a doctor I know to help Miss Deelfi. Please, everyone present, take good care of her."
As soon as he said this, everyone present focused their gaze on Yuto.
Although they were not an ordinary theater group and had experienced various performance accidents, big and small, this...
It was the first time a member had been injured and fallen unconscious.
Precisely because they hadn't experienced this before, and because Yuto, a highly respected person in every sense, was present, they naturally abandoned their own thoughts and began to take Yuto as their central figure.
Seemingly sensing everyone's gaze, Yuto paused slightly, then looked at Lauvik, who was slightly overweight, and said very seriously:
"Mr. Lauvik, please go find Mr. Claude first, tell him what happened here, and then bring him over. I have some things I need to discuss with him."
Hearing this, Lauvik nodded repeatedly, then waddled his slightly plump body and quickly rushed out of the small theater.
At this moment, Yuto's gaze fell on Lumine and Paimon. He gave them a slight wink, signaling them to follow him outside the theater to talk.
Lumine and Paimon naturally understood Yuto's hint, and then followed him outside the theater.
After confirming that there was no one around, Yuto took a deep breath, and an unprecedented seriousness appeared in his sea-blue eyes.
"You two, please talk to the people of this theater group later, and then... investigate the sudden pit that appeared just now."
"This matter... is not an accident."
Looking at Yuto, who had a serious expression, Paimon blinked slightly, then instinctively exclaimed:
"Not an accident? Could it be that someone deliberately prevented the theater group from continuing the performance?"
In response, Yuto gently shook his head and then said:
"This matter is not aimed at the theater group, but at Claude, or rather... it's aimed at me."
"However, Miss Deelfi is still unconscious, and her wounds urgently need professional treatment. Please wait for me to return from Meropide before I give you a detailed account of the specific thought process."
Hearing this, Paimon immediately put away her somewhat restless curiosity and quickly nodded, indicating that she understood.
Seeing this, Yuto also turned around without hesitation and walked towards Meropide.
Actually, he could have completely let Lumine and Paimon go find Sigewinne, but... he wasn't just looking for Sigewinne alone in Meropide.
He also needed to find Wriothesley.
Just as he said, this was not an accident at all, but a malicious act targeting Claude, targeting him.
Yuto never believed that there would be coincidences in this world, especially when he had already known some information in advance... such "coincidences" became "part of a conspiracy."
"Phew... While I can't rule out the possibility that I'm being overly sensitive and that the small theater is old and dilapidated, being suspicious is always better than carelessly walking into someone else's trap."
"Let's wait for their investigation results. If it's really as I think, then the Noclan Family won't need to be kept..."
Thinking of this, Yuto's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint appearing in his gaze, and he already had a new plan in mind.
"You like to play games? You like to fight? Come on, let's have a fight..."
"Let's see if your fragile alliance of interests is strong, or if the solid alliance of Palais Mermonia and various institutions is tougher."
At this thought, a cold smile appeared on Yuto's face, and he then quickened his pace towards Meropide.
...
Just as Yuto was rushing to Meropide, Lumine and Paimon also followed his instructions and began to investigate the people there.
However...
Although they were supposed to investigate, Lumine and Paimon didn't know where to start asking questions.
Should they ask why the wooden boards here collapsed? Or why they were here today? Or if there were any conflicts among the theater members?
The first question was completely hindsight; if they asked it now... it would be no different from asking for a beating.
If they had to say... it seemed only the last two sounded like normal questions.
Thinking of this, Paimon nodded slightly, then floated to a tall, thin man and asked softly:
"Uh... excuse me, I have a question. Why are you here today? Didn't you say that subsequent performances couldn't be rehearsed until the script was out?"
Hearing this, the man, who was originally a little sad because his companion was injured, was slightly startled. He then subconsciously looked at Paimon, who was floating nearby, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Ah... actually, we didn't have any training scheduled for today, but the script that Group leader Aurett left for us always made us uneasy."
"Although Mr. Claude is also excellent and has given us great encouragement in both playwriting and performance,
But as the one who led us on this path, we still want to dedicate this play completely to her."
"As for why we are here... the fundamental reason lies in future performances."
"We want Lord Yuto and Lady Furina to give us some pointers so that we can present the most perfect play for her."
