Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 560 It’s Hour
Damn it...what is going on?
After shaking off Director Scorpio from his back and climbing out of the pool, Leon wiped the water off his face, looked around, and was completely stunned.

Didn't I just rush out of Research Area 1? Why did everything suddenly change? And... why does this place look familiar?
"Puha! Help...help!"

Just as Leon looked around vigilantly and exchanged glances with the stunned guests, Filia's cry for help suddenly came from the fountain behind him.

"I can't swim! Help...help me!"

"You don't need me to save you."

After glancing back at the situation in the pool, Leon grabbed Director Scorpio's feet and dragged him out under the pointing of the guests, and then said to the emerald-eyed girl:

"This is a fountain. If you sit up, your head will come out... By the way, where is this place? Do you know?"

"Huh...Huh...it could be...the royal palace..."

Following Leon's instructions, after climbing out of the pool, the frightened emerald-eyed girl coughed twice, then said uncertainly:
"It looks like the small garden behind the palace, but no one has taken care of this small garden for about ten years. It should be full of weeds now... Huh?!"

As if she had discovered something extraordinary, Filia's emerald green eyes suddenly widened and she looked at the wooden platform in the distance in shock. The person in the middle of the low wooden platform seemed to have noticed the commotion here and looked over curiously.

Is that... King and Queen Finn?

Following the gaze of the emerald-eyed girl, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly when he saw the family in the center of the wooden platform. Then he recognized more "acquaintances" among the guests present.

Although they looked much younger and their clothes had changed a lot, many of these guests seemed to have appeared in the "Fresh Room" before, so... was this a royal banquet that took place in the past?
After taking a look at King Finn sitting on the main seat, and then looking around at the guests around him, Lyon saw some "brush" marks on everyone's clothes, and a hint of enlightenment suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Although this was a banquet that took place in the past, Prince Andre's ability did not seem to be related to time travel, and it was unlikely that he had the power to send people back many years, so the scene before him was most likely some kind of "simulation" or "reproduction".

Considering the brush marks on these people's clothes, and those things that suddenly appeared before and turned directly into a large pool of paint after being chopped off by himself with the [Cutting Silver Dagger]... Is Prince Andre's ability related to painting?

……

"Back off!"

Just as Leon followed the clues and began to guess Prince Andre's abilities, a small team of fully armed guards came from a distance and quickly split into two groups. One group escorted the guests back, while the other group held swords and halberds for protection and surrounded the "knife-wielding gangsters" who broke into the banquet.

"What are you doing!"

The tall and strong guard leader pointed his sword at Leon and asked with a vigilant look:

"Tell me! How did you get in? And who are this child and the unconscious person?"

"..."

After listening to the question from the tall and strong captain of the guards, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched involuntarily.

The unconscious one is my stupid teammate who is good at giving himself away and betraying. That child is your future princess. As for how I got in... I should be considered to be "invited" in by your prince.

Leon did not answer the captain of the guards' question. He had some guesses about Prince Andre's abilities. He first protected Filia behind him, then clenched the [Silver Cutting Dagger] in his hand, raised his hand and slashed hard at the "world" in front of him.

If the situation is really as I guessed, and the banquet in front of me is a painting, then it means that I can use the ability of [Cutting Silver Dagger] to cut the painting and get out!

"Swish!" As Lyon expected, the knife did not miss the target, but actually cut something, making a sound similar to cutting cloth, and created a crack in the "world" in front of him.

However, the problem was that, just like the previous cutting of the secret room where Prince Andre was located, this small crack had just been cut and it healed at a faster speed. The moment the tip of the [Cutting Silver Dagger] left the "canvas", it had been completely repaired.

With the astonishingly fast repair speed of this "canvas", let alone letting three living people escape, it is estimated that even if water is poured forward while cutting, not even a drop of water can be poured out.

"Be bold!"

It seemed that he could not see the gap that Leon had cut. Seeing that Leon not only did not surrender to him, but was gesturing with a knife, the captain of the guards was immediately furious. He twisted the sword in his hand half a circle, ready to use the unsharpened side to knock down this intruder who overestimated his own strength, but...

"stop!"

A childish voice sounded from a distance, and a little boy in a brown linen shirt and black breeches ran over holding a golden ball.

After calling out to the captain of the guards who was about to take action, the little boy, whose shirt was soaked with sweat and whose hair was stuck to his forehead, raised his red face and smiled at Leon, then said to the captain of the guards:

"Uncle Bugs, this is my guest. Please let the guards go down."

"Your Highness?"

After hearing what the little boy said, the captain of the guards hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to remind him:

"But his hand..."

"Don't worry, it's just a fruit knife."

After glancing at Leon who narrowed his eyes, the little boy who had green eyes like Feliya smiled and said:

"Uncle Bugs, there are so many of us here. Even if he is a bad guy, a knife can't do anything."

"..."

That's true...

Seeing the young prince come out and vouch for these suspicious people, the captain of the guards' tense expression relaxed slightly. He first glared at Leon with a warning, then bowed his head and greeted the boy:
"Your Highness, you are joking. Since he is your guest, there will be no problem. I will ask the guards to go down immediately... But it is best not to have such a sudden intrusion a second time."

"No, no!"

Smiling, he pushed the captain of the guards for two steps. After leaving the edge of the pool, the little boy came back with the ball in his arms. Then he looked up at Leon who seemed to be thinking about something, and said meaningfully:
"Your Excellency, I am Andre, and I welcome you to my sister's first birthday party."

"..."

Although he already had a vague guess, when he heard the sunny and youthful boy in front of him personally admit his identity, Lyon couldn't help but reveal a little surprise in his eyes.

I really didn't expect that the Andre in the future, who looked lazy and impatient, as if he wanted to sleep forever, was actually quite sunny when he was a child... It's a pity that he grew up badly.
