CH 52

I saw off the locomotive that started to proceed with a heavy and loud noise with Marie-chan from a distance.

“Ojousama, are you sure you didn’t have to talk to them?”

“Yes, it’s okay. They don’t know me so even if I talk to them they’ll only be suspicious.”

I answered Marie-chan while staring at the train gradually speeding up towards the Kingdom of Diana.

In that locomotive, the viscountess. . . no, the ‘former’ viscountess and her two daughters boarded with a trader who will become the new father and left for their new home in the Kingdom of Diana.

Even though it is less than a count family that requires permission from the king to get married or divorced, the viscount is also a great aristocrat. The divorce would usually take some time, but the Scheiver family and the former viscountess’s parents worked behind the scenes, and the divorce was concluded in about a month.

At about the same time, it seems that the Magic Division and the Knights stepped into the place where the kidnapped people were being confined and cooperated to protect the victims. Ursch-kun said that he pushed himself too hard so that the divorce could be completed in time for when the place of confinement fell into the investigation. When the place of confinement is exposed, if we let the viscountess and her family escape while the viscount and magicians are confused, they will not be able to allocate that much personnel to pursue them. If the fact that the viscount committed a crime becomes exposed and made public, they who were supposed to victims would also be suspected of being involved in a crime. So we decided to let them out of the county before that.

I asked Ursch-kun how he concluded the divorce when the viscount refused, and it seems that Ursch-kun didn’t have the power to move the great man in the office, so Ursch-kun’s mother moved behind the scenes instead.

Come to think of it, after realizing that I had never seen Ursch-kun’s mother, I wanted to thank her and say hello at a later date, but “You can’t see her until you’re over 10 years old!!”  I was strongly stopped by Ursch-kun and Paul-san. Why?

“Come on, ojousama. Now that we can’t see the locomotive, let’s go back to the mansion soon.”

Marie-chan urges me to go home as I was thinking while looking at the train getting further away. I agree and go back to the carriage waiting in front of the station.

In the carriage on the way back to the mansion, Marie-chan starts talking in a dreamy way.

“Even so, it was a wonderful story. A man who was only thinking about his childhood friend that was separated from him and crying in a political marriage, came to the rescue after finding that his she was having a hard time, and at last the two were united. . . It’s really nice. When I saw that woman who was reunited with him, breaking down on his chest, I was tangled and almost cried.”

Yes. The Schneiver family was messing around behind the scenes, but ultimately it turned out like that. The story of the Colors Collector was hidden, and when we asked the former viscountess’s childhood friend for help, the man jumped at the plan and was willing to accept it. I asked him to stand on the front stage, and this divorce riot was ‘the result of knowing that his childhood friend, who he kept thinking about, had become bedridden because of her hard life, and that he worked hard to rescue her.’

At first, the two daughters looked complicated, and they seemed to be forcibly convinced when they saw their happy mother, but when they got on the train earlier, they looked embarrassed and were smiling at the powerful feelings from the man who became their new father. It looks like they are somehow deepening their interactions.

There is no one who would look at them and know that their father didn’t care about his family until now, and their mother suffered from it and fell bedridden, so they probably don’t feel bad even though they are troubled about how to react to the excited care of their new father.

I hope their family can get along well in their new life.

As soon as I got back to the mansion, Ursch-kun came to visit me with Paul-san.

“It seems that the victims were transferred to the church and were able to meet their families again there. Including the heroine’s aunt. Now the Knights, the military police, and the mercenaries are jointly searching for clues about the criminal. Since the magician organization is involved behind the scenes, they won’t be able to find any evidence or clues.”

“Is that so? So, Ursch-kun, where did you get the information about the viscount?”

“I was able to investigate because I heard about the appearance of the criminal from Isabella. I’ve told you before that the ‘magic tool made with a pig’s head’ on his head, has fairly advanced magic built in, so it’s hard to get. I followed it from the source of the magic tool.”

I see. Did the information from the game give us an advantage? By the way, we told the Magic Division and the Knights where to find the victims, but we haven’t provided any information on the identity of the criminal yet. It’s certain that the viscount is connected to the black magician group, but we still don’t know where they are based. According to the information at this time, even if the viscount is caught, he can escape with the help of a group of magicians. Even if we can catch them, aside from the viscount, I’m worried that a group of sorcerers won’t be given the right judgment under the judiciary.

Because their clients include nobles. There is a possibility that the nobles who buried their political opponents and disturbing people using them will let them escape if they think it’s necessary, and on the contrary, there is a possibility that the magicians will threaten to expose the aristocrats requested under the judiciary if they don’t help them escape.

To be honest, I would like to exhaust myself and include the aristocratic clients, but at this point when I don’t know the base of the important magician organization, there is little evidence and they can escape easily.

“As expected, I’ve been hiding behind the scenes for a long time, so I can’t grasp the base of the sorcerers. If our employees get too deep, they might lose their lives. . .”

“It’s more than enough with what has already been investigated so far. You can’t force yourself any more.”

While replying to Ursch-kun, I checked the contents of the [closet]. I’m sure it was a big catch. . . It was an indispensable item to capture multiple targets at the same time.

Oh, there it is. . . This is it.

I arrange the items taken out of the [closet] on the table.

“Hehe. . . It looks like it’s time for this.”

“This is. . . ‘Makeover Hair Color Series’? What is this? Is this also a game item? Wah. . . there are various colors. . . ”

Yes, it’s a disguise item. In fact, ‘Love Magical’ has random encounters with other capture targets even during a date with another capture target.

. . . In the first place, you will be found by other targets once every three dates. If you are found, the favorability of the target that found you will decrease considerably. To prevent that, you need to use disguise items during a date event with the target.

. . . Do you want to go on a date with multiple people that much? Well, to put that aside, if you use it, this ‘Transformation Hair Color Series’ is one of the disguise items prepared by saying ‘you won’t have to worry about lowering the favorability you raised’.

By the way, all of these disguise items are charged items~

This game company really has a strong commercial spirit.

“Yes, now that they let their stock escape, they should be desperate to replenish it. The recovered victims will be protected by the church for a while, so it’s hard to touch them. If a child with an unusual hair color is walking alone, I think they will definitely catch them.”

“You’re not saying that Isabella will act as the decoy, are you?”

Listening to my plan, Ursch-kun has a dark smile. Oh, this is a sign that he is absolutely opposed to it.

“No. . . look. . . Even if I am caught, aren’t I the only one who can escape safely? For example, even if they use an item that can seal magic, it seems difficult to seal it with my level of MP, and even if they can seal it, with HP the same level as an earth dragon, no matter how much I am restrained, I can use force and escape from any place. Well, above all, I have [state abnormality invalidation], so curses won’t work. . .”

I try to persuade them with all of the benefits I can think of. But I’m getting more and more afraid of Ursch-kun’s aura. . . You don’t have to get so angry!! While I was waiting for Ursch-kun’s reply with tears in my eyes, Ursch-kun sighed deeply.

“It can’t be helped. . . Even if I say no, Isabella can do it secretly, so I wonder if it’s better to keep an eye on her. . . You should never do it alone, right?”

Saying that, Ursch-kun gave me permission on the condition that I would never leave the watchman.

On the day of the event, I dye my hair purple and go sightseeing around the city holding hands with a beautiful woman with blue hair. The setting of me and the beauty is a parent and child from another territory who are planning to stay in the royal capital for a while for sightseeing. It’s important to say ‘staying for a while’. If they don’t do the kidnapping in a hurry, we will finish sightseeing and leave the royal capital.

I’m right here. A child with purple hair. It’s precious. It’s rare.

It’s not unusual for people in the town to look at my hair twice with surprise in their eyes.

Yes. Its really right here. Purple Hair.

In my previous life in Japan, it’s not uncommon to see grandmothers and aunts with purple hair. That’s also an artificial dye.

What? Who is the beautiful woman with blue hair walking hand in hand with me?

That’s how I was parading around the city, and on the third day, there were people who called out to us mother and daughter (fake).

Ursch knows how to handle Isabella so well.

It looks like the problem on NU has been fixed!
