192 It was tangled up in a trap.

Two days after the operation...

"Yikes! I caught it! The showdown is tomorrow!

"Congratulations! Lady!"

"You did it! Brilliant!

I was having tea swallowing at the Knights Commander's hall - they found a student snooping around here, and a waiting order was issued - and I cheered on Christina's call.

'Views from third parties', which were accompanied by modest reports from Christina, sent that night.

The butler looked very angry. I still don't care about the sick lady at all, I guess the machine gun talk for gathering information couldn't sit on my stomach.

Apparently Christina was naturally exhausted after Miss Mabel left, but she seemed happy with the otherworldly sweets she had left behind.

Yeah, yeah, it's a surprise. You secretly instructed the chef to make a crepe with fruit!

Bring in the baked crepes, custard and berry sauce to make it look once, something that will serve you cutely for your precious lady. Seems healed. Above all.

And then, when the Demon King's permission comes out, the pudding recipe is going to be presented. That would be forgivable because they might kidnap us next time.

It should be noted that the words of celebration and applause for the fishing success are the samurai who was serving me, the butler who undertakes to contact the captain of the regiment.

And they're also my escorts, I hear. Considering the possibility of being targeted if it were the Knights' house, all servants would be able to fight.

There's also trust from the captain. They seem to be 'the one who protects the house of the Lord's absence' in various ways.

"Then I must contact my husband."

"Yeah, please. Oh, send this letter with me. You'd better."

"Yes, sir."

The letter from Christina reads: 'Master Mabel invited me to a tea party. Master Serene is with you, "it says. You should give it to the Knights as one piece of evidence of Miss Mabel's involvement.

Did the butler find that out, too, and he immediately deposited a nod letter with me. That concludes the first phase of Operation Smith.

By the way, there's also a reason why I don't contact you directly.

There are suspicious people watching this house, but not returning to the Knight's Dormitory and not contacting the Demon King are also necessary to "keep them from doing what they think".

The deacon is the person who is entrusted with the management of the house in the absence of the captain, so naturally I will contact the captain if anything happens. Would it be something like 'Suspects are being witnessed' this time?

If I hear from my own house, it won't seem unnatural. It is only 'a communication from someone who is protecting the house while the captain is away'.

Write down 'How the lady you left it with' there, etc., and it will prove that the daughter you know was definitely staying. Naturally, there are no shards of words such as magicians.

Whether the operation is now settled or not, the report reads, 'A daughter I know has been captured by an example kidnapper'.

If the aim over there is to discredit Irfena, the achievement goes to the Knights to counter it. A way has been taken not to specify the intervention of the Mage Master as much as possible.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah Even if that's what the case is solved, it's going to unfold the way you think it is over there.

And this' very unpleasant anticipation 'convinced me of the existence of the mastermind, along with those involved, including me.

'If it's just a kidnapping, I usually think this far. Blaine, you're definitely here!?'.

After hiding its original purpose rather than being set up in the industry, the method of 'ultimately taking it to the desired result' has been taken. It would be more impossible not to doubt it.

This, if I had normally solved a kidnapping case, would it have been spreading rumors from nowhere that 'the Knights can't handle it alone, they told the Demon Supervisor'?

For once, it seems that the small fathers of the merchants - the people who took care of them in Kivera - are collecting and monitoring information in places with lots of people, such as liquors.

By the way, it has also become 'The Mage is currently in Zebrast' with regard to me.

Rudolph's full cooperation led him to say, 'The Wizard came to Zebrast to play with the frog. The frogs are delighted... they'll kill you if you disturb them' rumors are circulating. Of course, the best collaborators are the frogs.

It's like the frogs are going to be the perpetrators! and when returned in a simplified version of the metastasis method, for some reason it was affirmed in a written letter in which the seriousness of the situation could be seen.

It seems to be the Prime Minister's word that there is enough cleverness. It is a very meaningful dialogue when you say subtly that you have something to think about.

……

Tama... what the hell do you guys do from day to day? No matter how bad you feel about frogs, I don't think you're usually that scared.

As long as you're reliable every time, that's fine. I don't think those kids will bother the Rudolphs.

That's how Irfena works, too. Therefore, I am currently being looked after by the captain as the "daughter I know".

"Heh heh... come on, I have to make the best of it."

"Yes, ma'am! Don't forgive your husbands enemies or anything!

"Of course!"

Reply with a smile to the very good samurai - probably, sincerely - too.

Just a few days to take care of you. I have a great time because all my servants are people of these thoughts.

And the day after the report was passed on to the Knights...

"Welcome, Serene"

"Yes, thank you very much, Master Christina"

"Yes. Shall we come to Master Mabel?"

Dressed in a pre-prepared dress, Christina and the battlefield...... go to Miss Mabel.

The earrings and pendants worn each carry the magic of kingdom and healing.

Naturally but faux. It's a premise to be covered.

Fate is a button worn on a dress. I use a magic stone wrapper with a technique.

A regular warrant lady wouldn't be able to wear a dress with a button, but I'm fine. There's plenty of cloth and lots of lace to mislead.

As for me, I'd rather be light in casual clothing from day to day, but a full circle petticoat or skirt would be very convenient to hide everything.

'Cause first of all, there's something that women don't have the idea of putting their feet out! Normally, it doesn't roll.

I can't believe even the killer has a warrant bracketed around her leg and hidden it, or put her leg out and move around flat. Let me definitely make use of these assumptions of common sense assumptions in this world.

Hehe, if you hook the parts inside the skirt to the buttons on the surface, you can do the impromptu slit. Even though the ease of movement is being pursued to the extent possible.

Other than that, the thighs are bracketed with instruction bars that can be stretched (homemade and enhanced), and the pockets of specially crafted dresses contain a contented atomizer.

In addition, the ribbon used for the dress is reinforced and, if removed, becomes a string for captivity. It's Klaus who said it's sturdier than a bad rope, a nice item that people can hang as well as tie.

... the idea is me, but in the same clever way.

That's how secrets are a toast. What, I just worked a little hard in different directions.

"Dear Serene, are you sure you're okay?

Christina asks me worried.

Her buttons are also healing and detoxifying, demonic props that have been placed around the junction. These things had been given to Christina beforehand, assuming they would also be kidnapped together.

Except she doesn't know any of these places, very ordinary ladies. The Klaus and the others are out of such care, so I guess I only gave them the minimum explanation they needed.

I thought so and opened my mouth...... I realized that she was apparently showing me how she was doing. I guess I'm the one who's scared, but he's more worried about me being the main one.

I'm willing to kill you as a fully-equipped rider...?

The people who were familiar with my personality didn't worry like that as one. Even Knight s is normal driving.

Or now it seems that no one thinks I can handle it to this extent.

It's important that you don't have a daily line......! No, should I even say this here with people who understand?

Before that, I did not have the option of 'frightening' myself. It's a matter of decision that I'm the last person to laugh, whether it's a kill or get killed situation. I won't give in there.

Oh, well, poor maiden means a young lady who can turn these worries on, right?

'I can't imitate that' to me either, believe me, you don't suspect...?

Yeah, I was only told not to overdo it if you want to turn the feat to the Knights, but something?

That's routine, is there a problem?

There's no such thing as vain, it's a testament to being recognized as one of them!

That's the point of Ning Ro being admired. At this point, let's find out what 'lovely knights' value themselves to their taste.

"It's okay, Christina!

"Yikes!?

When I pick Christina's nose lightly, my voice goes up low wondering if she was surprised by my abrupt behavior.

I peek into Christina's face, laughing at that surprised face and the disappearing look of worry.

He said, "It's okay! You've been okay before, haven't you?

Cristina blinked lightly rubbing her picked nose, laughing dull and confidently speaking.

... snorted and smiled firmly.

"Yes...... yes, I did. I'm sure you'll be fine this time."

"Yeah, believe me. Both of us... Can we help Miss Archet?

"Yes!"

The darkness from that expression to earlier is gone. No, you're relieved.

Anxiety...... I guess it was, Christina is. The knights are moving to "solve the case," because Miss Archet's personal stuff was really often forgotten.

As a friend, you can't be guided. I prefer these aspects of her.

"Come on, Master Mabel. Shall we begin the conversation?"

I'm the one who set you up, and I'm the one who rode your invitation.

But that's the same thing with you... because it was you who set Miss Archet up with me first, and it was you who took my measures.

Let's have fun, because there's no future for those who lose anyway.

And Miss Mabel's mansion you visited, the room you were led away from.

In addition to being pretty much in the back, the garden visible through the window was also in a slightly isolated state.

Oh, this is a good place. Something hard to see indoors even if someone comes through the front entrance. Plus... it sounds like you can get out of the back, here.

"Hehe, it's like a little secret place, isn't it?

Miss Mabel tells me a little better looking at me. No, I'm not good at it...... you look 'happy'. I mean, I'm full of expectations, like that.

"Well... it feels like this is the only place isolated from your mansion, and the secret room seems to fit"

Ning Lo, I guess it was made for that, too. Mistress, surround the sick, isolate the sick, or use them for a secret relationship you can't make a little public.

You look ideal for those purposes, here.

"It would be lovely!

You received my way of saying it in a good way, Miss Mabel is in a good mood. Am I honestly happy or satisfied with the praise?

Do you personally like it here, or... from the sense of accomplishment that you were able to lure it to a place conducive to the crime?

I find out Miss Mabel is' honest 'for better or worse looking happy. Yeah, I thought you'd be honest with yourself. What you're doing is a crime.

……

I don't know why, I feel like I'm more obscene than my villain girlfriend.

All I could think about was the meaning behind it and say, "Oh, this is the scene of today's crime! 'I don't know what you think, it's an atmosphere you can't speak of by mistake.

You have a groove between her and me in many ways. Mainly directions or differences in sensibilities.

Mr. Dirk is just on my side too, so there would be zero chance she could turn around without this happening.

Unlimited, I wouldn't say anything that would give you hope. Zero, zero.

I was thinking about that, and I'm secretly suspicious of Miss Mabel's attitude.

That's a lot to spare, lady.

And there's another odd point.

It was with the tea party, but it's not prepared at all. What do you mean there's no sign of a samurai bringing it in?

Christina is also surprisingly gazing at Miss Mabel. Miss Mabel laughed deeply at us like that.

"Ugh... stupid people. Oh, I wonder if Master Serene is aware of the kidnapping that's going on right now?

You live in the middle of nowhere! and Miss Mabel speaking in a tone of ridicule. Apparently, 'Operation False Fiancé' outraged her more than I could have imagined.

Christina made her expression strong and leaned against me.

"Speaking of which, he said something like that. No way... are you the killer?"

"No? I... well, I just rented a room to someone I knew a little bit. To that extent, I don't know where the kidnapped children are."

Confront Miss Mabel while sheltering Christina. Miss Mabel was pretty rappy about how she felt overwhelmingly superior to us with a hard look on her face.

Well, I can't help but think so. Normally, I think so, and Christina reacts exactly as Miss Mabel thinks.

But I'm not.

"Confess! You're an idiot, you have an idiot, you're a real villain exposing your evil deeds before they pursue you? I saw something unusual!

It can be inside and in the Fever. Too honest is a problem, too.

Oh, because this conversation is also heard by my dear Lord Dirk via button-shaped magic props. I mean, I hear all the knights burning to secure the killer are standing by.

I think maybe your eyes are sitting still. Because this, in a way, means' I betrayed my country 'hey... you can't cooperate with the killer or anything, normal.

"I put him to sleep with medication before, but he wants to take a definite way more than having Master Serene. If you were wearing magic tricks, it wouldn't mean drugs, would it?

"Yeah, right. My little father tells me to wear it."

"So... I'm going to ask you to follow me voluntarily"

Miss Mabel closes the fan she had in her hand and makes a noise. Then the men who seemed to have been in the next room - the outfit seemed to be disguised as merchants - appeared and detained me and Christina.

"... please? That silver-haired kid is what you need."

The men answer nothing. Just a small nod. Nor does Miss Mabel seem to ask for any particular answers.

Hmm? Well, it's an expected hand. Surely there's no point in using drugs more than there are magic props. Did you know that you do not have a demonic prop for detoxification as far as Miss Archet is concerned?

For a while now, I guess we'll just have to say, 'A tea party's been held'. So, when the sun goes down, let out the carriage and pretend to be attacked wind, he said.

Apparently, my predictions were met. Was it directly linked to the lack of sightings, in particular, that there was a difference in the 'time of kidnapping'?

Additionally, if "The Person Who Attacked the Carriage" is just to attack, it's enough for me personally... I don't think it's a kidnapping of a lady. There is no information that I saw a suspicious carriage because 'such a carriage did not exist'.

Yeah, it sounds like you also bothered to see the witness statement that this kidnapper came to Ilfena.

It's possible to escape the saying 'I don't possess a carriage or anything that could be considered evidence of a kidnapper' if I run an impressionable looking carriage and discard it after a witness statement has been made.

"It's all right, Master Christina"

Smile to reassure her and turn to Miss Mabel.

"Because my brothers must find something. As Kingsguard knights in this country, and as our brother, you will never break your promise."

"Huh...! That's annoying!

"... eh"

"Dear Serene!

You let me raise my anger when I ran out of confidence, slapping me on the cheek with the fan Miss Mabel had.

Stuck in words for a moment doesn't break the grin. Christina turned a worrying glance at me like that, and Miss Mabel hung up her chin.

It would have been unpleasant to be shown "unwavering trust in my brothers". Miss Mabel wasn't interested in the shards either, Mr. Dirk.

Finally, Christina also has the 'strongest in a way' real brothers. As long as they're on this side, traps that demean Irfena are a total evasion.

Alright! 'The killer's side' got his hands on first. Now I have a reason to join 'me personally'!

The ladies who became accomplices to the kidnappers? You'll be ready, won't you?

Miss Mabel just hit me in the cheek and said nothing more. Maybe he thought if he opened his mouth to the detours, he could poke at his miserable situation more and more.

Afterwards...... he just doesn't seem willing to let it remain in his possession, and the ornament was taken away. And me and Christina are each put in a box like the costume case that was in the next room and locked.

Something like merchant luggage would be the purpose of what I saw. The bottom is double, so you can just see the luggage above even if it's opened. It's hard to realize it's a double bottom unless you get all the contents out.

I guess this is how the ladies are transported. It would be a dark enclosed space, and if you were sleeping with medicine, there would be a lot of noise.

Oh, I'm too well to enjoy a grin even more so now. I'm so glad this is a quarantined place! You can't find out until you're transported to a safe house.

One of the buttons turned into a magic prop is confusing the transmitter, so the knights will be able to move easily. We just need to be transported away, after the production is over there!

The tingling pain is almost gone. Miss Mabel's blow would swell her face enough without healing magic, but to me it doesn't hurt much either. Around "Eight Hits of the Lady".

Clearly, it's more damaging and dangerous to work with Knight Dormitory Noiko. Miss Mabel's blow. What the hell, is the level of fighting between women.

Yeah, but...

I think it's polite to give it back ten times, Miss Mabel. On that side, let me swell you up.

Remember. I'll cry while I'm close......!
