Chapter 87: Meeting with the Tree Girl

[Upper City, Lueurre]

The Baron, who was moments prior peacefully eating his breakfast, paused, and eyed me, or rather, my whole party, before he uttered, "You have five minutes, go meet her. The rest can have breakfast while they wait."

The meaning of the gesture was simple - keep everyone safe, which I think Syrus got, by the way he nodded imperceptibly.
