The stranger who appeared in Path's room was an interracial girl, and her most striking feature was the pair of fluffy cat ears on her head, and she was surprised and panicked when she noticed that the door was opened by Danica.

"Who are you?!"

Danica stared at her, then at Path, who seemed to be asleep on the bed.

"I, I! I am...... No, wait meow!"

The cat-clan girl suddenly walked over to Danica and looked at Danica with wide eyes.

"Meow on memory correctly...... It's the red-haired meow, it looks like it's you. ”

"What? I don't know what you're talking about!!Hurry up and explain who you are, why you're here, what the hell did that guy Perth do to bring strangers back to the inn, and he's an alien?!"

Danica felt annoyed, she had told Paz many times to stop causing trouble, and she didn't know where to bring back an alien, and after bringing it back, she actually slept peacefully?

"My name is Lilil, and together with my companions, I've been entrusted with a mission to protect your meow. Meow remember, your name is Danica...... Meow?"

"Mission?protection?"

The cat girl in front of her, that is, Lilil, explained everything clearly, and Danica's tight heart finally let go, it was so good that she was not threatened or a debt collector.

"But what the hell is going on with this guy? Sick? Not long after I met you? And besides, Lance is really, he should know that I have Vance by my side, so I don't have to worry about ...... at all."

Lilil gave her a quizzing look, and Danica shook her head.

"Nothing, you're the only one here, where have all your companions gone?"

"My companions have gone out into the street on other things, so now only Lilil is here, and Lilith thinks they should be back soon. ”

"Then let's go to the restaurant for a bite to eat, have you been waiting here? By the way, wake this guy up, it's dinner time, and you're hungry, right?"

"Can you order a meow for grilled fish?"

"No problem. ”

Danica walked a few steps to the bedside and tried to shake Path awake.

"Hey, don't sleep, hurry up!"

"Miss Danica? I don't think it's useful...... Actually, I tried to wake him up a few times, but it didn't work, and Lilil asked the innkeeper to call a doctor's meow...... So ......"

"What's inexplicable? I don't understand at all?"

"I don't understand Meow either. ”

Danica slapped Path's face and pulled a few more strands of hair, but Paz still didn't react, as if he had completely lost his perception of the outside world, and his consciousness didn't know where he went.

"It's really inexplicable!Is it fun to pretend to sleep like this?!"

Danica grabbed his ear, pinched it a few times, and yelled loudly in his ear, but there was still no response.

“…… This...... What the hell is going on......"

"Lilil doesn't understand meow, perhaps, my companion will know that Hima is much better than me. ”

“……”

"Then leave him alone. ”

With a sigh, Danica lifted her face.

"Let's go to the restaurant. ”

When she came to the restaurant, Danica casually ordered a dinner and grilled fish that the other party wanted.

"I don't know why Lance came up with this commission, but we'll be back in a few days, so we won't need it after that......, right? ...... commission fee he proposed?"

"The commission fee is the cost of taking us to the nearest town? What's wrong with that?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing!"

Danica shook her head quickly, annoyed that she almost wanted to say all the stupid things, but this chagrin was quickly thrown aside as she noticed someone coming in through the doorway.

"Are they your companions?"

A male adventurer, and a cat-Clan girl like Lilil.

When Danica spotted them, the two of them discovered Lilil as well.

"Here you are. ”

"Lilil!"

Lilil and her companions regrouped, and in the dining room, the two introduced themselves to Danica, sat down, and ordered some food.

"Grilled fish meow!"

The long-haired cat-clan girl is called Hima, and the other is Samuel.

"You cat people have always been so virtuous, and if fish disappear from the world, I don't know how you'll live. ”

"There's no such thing!"

"How is it possible. ”

"You ...... Meow who is known to Lustma...... Sorry, they always meow like this. Lilil looked helpless, as if she was not used to the personality of her companions.

"Meow died of thirst! Meow who just talked so much nonsense!"

"Hmph. Samuel snorted.

"By the way, Hima, there's something ......"

Liliel glanced at Danica and mentioned Pas to Hima.

"About this!"

Samuel tells everyone about being followed not long after leaving the house.

"We've spent all day on this meow today!" Jima then chimed in, looking around, and whispered in a low voice, "There is something wrong with the temple branch, and a few people are inexplicably unconscious, and I can't find out what the cause is. ”

"Meow, isn't this just ......!"

Lilil was very surprised, and subconsciously looked at Danica, who couldn't help but clench her hands, "Difficult, is it Pas?"

"It only takes a little more time to find out, right?"

"Meow? The people of the temple should have a way to meow. ”

"Let me give you a word of caution. Samuel suddenly interjected, "Even if you are our current target of protection, there are still some things that have to be said, our mission is only to protect you, even if something happens to your friend, it has nothing to do with us, unless you formally ask us to do so." ”

"Samuel?"

Lilil called his name, as if to blame him for not saying that.

Glancing at Lilil, Samuel said, "One thing to one thing, don't mess around, don't forget that we have other tasks, do you want to give up?"

"Lilil didn't mean that...... Lilil...... Meow who will never give up!"

Danica nodded, looked at them and said, "I think that's the thing, you've been entrusted with protecting me, and there's another task on you. I don't usually go out at night, and the so-called protection usually refers to close protection, and there are three of you. ”

"Not only that, but there's also a meow that hasn't come yet. ”

"Why do you say so much? I don't know when that guy will be here. ”

"Anyway, it's unlikely that the three of you will be by my side all day, you have other tasks to complete, I'll go to the palace during the day, as I said earlier, I won't go out at night. Danica took a sip of water and continued, "So, at this time, I'm going to check on Perth, and maybe stay in Perth's room before going to bed." ”

"Meow! Actually, it's okay for Himma to take a look, and I don't know if it's the same meow over there!"

"It's true that staffing is a problem. Samuel glanced at the other two.

"Meow! Grilled fish is coming!"

The food she had just ordered finally came up, and Hima screamed happily.

"It's really a meow! It's been talking for so long to get it done, so slow meow!"

"Because there are so many people now?"

"This meal is still our own checkout, it's better to save a little, and stay in a hotel, I hope there are extra rooms. Samuel said, glad that the hotel was not expensive.

While eating, they continued to talk, and finally decided to have Samuel during the day and Jima or Lilil at night.

"Meow, I really can't go, I'm actually very interested in the palace!"

"That kind of place can only be visited by nobles, not to mention that you are a foreigner. ”

Lilil also felt that it was too conspicuous to be able to enter that kind of place. ”

"It's boring to be with me during the day, and you can't do anything outside, so I want to remind you. ”

"I understand. ”

"Then I'll go out into the streets with Liliel during the day, and by the way, keep an eye out when Rustma arrives. ”

"That guy definitely won't be here that soon. ”

"Hima, Lilil thinks that if she was meow by herself, she might become a burden......"

"Don't worry about Meow, I'll be with you Meow!"

"You'd better be careful. Samuel deliberately admonished them in a sarcastic tone.

"Don't talk this nonsense!"

After dinner, Samuel went out alone, and Hima and Lilil followed Danica to the room to see what was going on with Path.

"This person is Path's Meow?"

"Lilil told me that you are very powerful, a very good magician, and I hope you will find out why Paz is like this. ”

"Look at meow!"

Hima looked at Paz closely, covering his nose, pinching his neck, and raising his hands as if he were doing some kind of examination. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Meow!"

"What?"

"Exactly the same meow!"

"Exactly the same?"

"Meow exactly like the patients Samuel and I went to see in the branch!"

“…… No, it won't......"

"Really meow! I've tried all the ways I can think of a meow that doesn't wake up.,It's a troublesome meow.,And that's a meow! There's also a meow with the same characteristics.,Meow with the same mark somewhere on the body.。 ”

"I remember you said that the people in the temple can't do anything, is this true or false......"

"Hima thinks they're a meow who can't do anything for a while, and they're continuing to find the reason!"

“……”

Lilil quietly tugged at Rajima's sleeve.

"Hima, Liliel has something she wants to ask you. ”

They walked out of the room and stood in the hallway, and Lilil asked Hima.

"Gemma, don't you think in some way, their situation is similar to Vivian's?"

"I see what you mean, meow!"

"Meow?"

"It's not the same meow, what Popin did, it shouldn't have anything to do with it. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We also wondered at first that it would have something to do with Popin, so Samuel and I had a lot of words to get the branch people to relent, and let us visit the people who had fallen asleep inexplicably. They're not the same as Vivian, they all have an inexplicable mark on them, and this time, this guy named Paz also has this mark on him. ”

Jima recalls the scene when she followed the two knights to the branch today, and used her relationship with Lorog to keep pestering and questioning. It took them a lot of saliva and time to get a little bit of information, that is, a few people in the temple branch fell into a coma for unknown reasons, and they fell asleep for two to three days, and nothing could be found.

"Those people in the temple don't really want people to know about this, probably because they don't want to cause unnecessary panic, and Hima feels that they are also quite uneasy inside! After all, there are companions who encounter this kind of thing! In short, don't talk nonsense!" The people in the branch were really tight-lipped, and it took hours of talking to them to let them go, it was really unusually easy to bring out the name of Lolog, and also to bring out the names of the upper echelons of the other temples.

For the first time, Himma thought it would be so tiring to talk to someone.

Samuel walked the streets and spent three and a half hours walking a third of the city, well, about half of those hours repeating detours, and the roads were usually in all directions, especially in new places like this which had never been before.

"The air here isn't the same as Carranslan. ”

In terms of prosperity, it is not as prosperous as Caranslan, Rodi Pava and El. However, the atmosphere here is mixed with something indescribable, and it is not as chaotic as Remy Label's country. It's just that there is a feeling of mixing a lot of things, a more depressing, older, and more real feeling for no reason.

"Is that the palace?"

Unconsciously coming to this vicinity, Samuel looked at the heavy stone gate not far away, and he could see it very clearly even at night.

"It's bright, and the lights here are orange, unlike every street in Carransland, which is white. ”

After muttering a few words to himself, his feet felt tired, and Samuel walked in the direction of the inn.

******

At this time of two o'clock in the middle of the night, he appeared and appeared on the street.

In the deserted streets, there is an endless silence that is lacking during the day.

Shadows cover almost half of the city, with only the wide main street and some important buildings lit up brightly.

Like a ghost, he silently moved forward, aiming for a building.

No one paid attention to him, no one found him, no one saw him.

He came to a small hidden door at the back of the building, where there was only one standing dozing person.

Approaching was such a breeze, and he simply approached the dozing guard and knocked him out with ease with a blow from the back of the neck. He glanced around and moved the guard into the nearby grass.

After eliminating the guards, he entered the small door, quietly went upstairs, and opened the room, where he targeted the people in the room. That was his first mission as an assassin, a mission that was hardly difficult, and he didn't get much paid. After dealing with the people in the room on the second floor, he quickly left the building, taking with him the short sword he had been given by his partner, the one stained with blood for the first time.

“……！”

Samuel opened his eyes suddenly, and the first thing he saw was the gray-white ceiling, and there were cobwebs in the corners.

Getting up and sitting on the bed, Samuel rubbed his forehead.

"It's unpleasant......"

"Why do you recall these things, how long ago was that? ”

“……”

He muttered to himself, these questions, no one else could answer him.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Samuel heard a conversation coming from the corner of the hallway, still familiar, from the owner of the same object he had seen the previous night. The dragon slayer's fiancée, Miss Wake up before him, can't she talk to herself, is she?

"Vance, did you come back in the middle of the night last night? I waited for you to wait until after one o'clock and didn't see you come back. I'm not going to ask you where you're going to do it, no matter how much you need time to catch up on sleep right now, you're going to have to come with me to see Path, I'm worried that I've barely slept well all night, and to be honest I'm sleepier than you right now!"

As if he was going this way, Samuel subconsciously took a few steps back, he didn't want to eavesdrop.

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly, another voice came around the corner.

"Vance, who else will be here at this time?"

Oops, it was actually discovered, how did it get discovered?

Samuel felt like he wasn't making any noise.

He pretended not to wake up and walked slowly.

"Ahh......h ”

"It's only five o'clock, you guys are early enough, where can I get water to drink? ”

"The kitchen is there, right next to the dining room. ”

Samuel deliberately rubbed his eyes and nodded at her, "Thank you." ”

"Who's that guy?"

"His name is Samuel, I'll tell you when I have time to talk about this, go see Paz first, his situation is very wrong!"

Samuel didn't go far, and they were talking in the background, looking very anxious.

"My throat is so bad. ”

Finding the kitchen, Samuel poured several glasses of water in a row to relieve the strange discomfort in his throat, like excessively dry dirt that needs a lot of water to become moisturized.

"This is the so-called adaptation to the soil and water? It's the first time I've traveled for so long. ”

"This place feels really bad. ”
