The door of the guest room opened up, and Merlin walked in, surrounded by several of Lucy's maidens. They were helping her carry the maps, research papers, and scrolls. She had prepared a whole lecture about the topography of the land, the native monsters, and the ways to deal with the orcs' technology. At first, she had an entourage of ghostly mage hands floating around to help her work, but since Lucy is scared of ghosts, the maidens came to help instead.
Even as a divine goddess who always deals with souls, monsters, and disgusting horrors that a kid her age shouldn't, she was still just a kid, and ghosts terrified the living hell out of her. If she heard as much as heard a strange sound in the hallway, she wouldn't get a lick of sleep and would stay up all night, terrified of the horror outside her room.
