Zero didn't know why everyone was in a rush. Shittomi didn't explain why he had to go on an errand but complied anyway. He didn't remember much of what happened in the tea room but swore that he would never again consume any alcoholic drinks.
Baal took a short nap in the carriage while Zero was left to wonder what was going to happen. According to the snow queen, Zero was going to represent her to address some of the problems a village on the outskirts of her domain faced. He wasn't given any details but Shittomi did caution him about making promises. They were still demons and words held power.
