"Aini!"

The purple hair flowed in the wind, the purple pupils still carried a little cold arrogance, and when he saw Aini's somewhat familiar but unfamiliar figure, the original lost spirit was shaken.

"Ai..."When Catherina was about to stretch out her hand to say hello to Aini, she suddenly realized her current identity and Beni's previous case. Aini has a medal for the exclusive guardian of the Heavenly Fox Mansion, and it seems that Aini has also been brainwashed, if he recognizes him as Catherina, then everything will be exposed.

Not noticing Catherina's strange appearance, Aini just glanced at her lightly, and entered the inn with the first person beside her: "Please borrow it, our guard team is on a mission." ”

Catherina didn't react for a moment, and when Aini passed by Catherina and spoke, she came back to her senses.

"Uh... I'm sorry senior, but you please. Catherina hurriedly made a way, and Ani just casually thanked her and walked straight in, but the guard beside her looked at Catherina with some interest, and said, "Senior, dare you be a freshman who participated in the guard recruitment station this time?"

As you said, I'm a player in this Guard Recruitment, and I'm on my way to the third tournament. Catherina, who reacted, replied very naturally, without the slightest astonishment.

"Really?" The guard raised his head and glanced at the rising sun in the sky, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you can advance to the third game, it will not be too early, so you can hurry up and go to the game, I look forward to your joining." ”

"Then if you join us, there will always be a chance to meet, I'll leave first, come on. Although the guards were still reluctant to continue the conversation with Catherina, she could only honestly follow Aini into the inn with her mission.

It wasn't until the guard entered the inn that Catherina had time to look at Aini in the hotel through the window, and from the conversation between the guard and Aini, she could learn that Aini seemed to be assigned to the guard team of the Sky Fox Mansion after being brainwashed, and the position was not low, if she took Aini away rashly, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Sky Fox Mansion, and now she can only make plans after entering the Sky Fox Mansion.

However, Catherina cares more about what Aini and they are investigating than Aini, Aini has been brainwashed for a longer time than Beni, even if she takes Aini away, it will not help, it is better to let her maintain the status quo and wait until she gets the moonlit grass to rescue, anyway, the time is not in a hurry.

However, the time for the Sky Fox Mansion to investigate the hotel is very anxious, if the affairs of the alliance are investigated by the Sky Fox Mansion, they must be indispensable, so now they must find out what the Sky Fox Mansion is investigating and inform Gerkel so that the alliance can take precautions.

So Catherina, having made up her mind, went to the back door of the inn as if nothing had happened, and scurried in without notice.

Climbing from the hidden space of the inn to the bottom of the door, the sound of Aini's conversation with the clerk was clearly heard.

"I'm sorry, we are the investigation department of the Tianhu Mansion Guards, and there have been undercover agents who have infiltrated Tianhu City recently, please cooperate with our investigation. ”

"Undercover?!" Listening to Aini's conversation with the clerk, Catherina's face changed drastically, could it be that the Heavenly Fox Mansion had discovered the existence of the Alliance?

"Undercover? What kind of undercover agent? Can you tell me so I can give me some clues. Matri, who is also a member of the alliance and pretending to be a clerk, reacted very well, not only did not panic, but still did not forget to put some clues from Ani during the conversation.

"Well, it's the invasion of the Heavenly Barbarian Elephant Clan, as for the details, I don't think you should know, so let's search. Aini's voice came into her ears again, and Catherina finally relaxed, it turned out that it was not the Alliance's matter that was discovered, but the Heavenly Fox Mansion was investigating the invasion of the Heavenly Barbarian Elephant Clan.

Since the last time they encountered the Celestial Elephant in the first game, Catherina had often heard from Lisandre that the Celestial Elephant seemed to have a bad plot against the Celestial Demon Fox, so the Celestial Fox Mansion was actively investigating.

After exhaling, Catherina left the same way, since it was not a matter of the Alliance, then there was no need for her to worry, anyway, it was not her own business at all.

Before leaving, Catherina saw Maitri from a distance smiling and sending Ani away, it seemed that Ani and they didn't investigate anything, so they took a breath of relief and left, since they didn't investigate why, then she didn't have to worry about her identity being discovered.

Da, da?? Da, da, da!

The nervousness of the moment had dissipated Catherina's original frustration, and although she was still a little uncomfortable about the battle against Lalua, she was much better, and soon she walked briskly to the venue of the match, and saw Lisandre waiting for her again in the distance.

The battle between the two has been known to everyone, and this time they have greatly comforted the two, and they did not let the two enter the competition venue until the game was about to start.

After some comfort, the discomfort in the hearts of the two was somewhat relieved, and after nodding to each other, the two sat in their respective positions.

Gently holding Catherina's hand, Lalua said gently: "Whether Catherina wins or loses this game, whether you win or lose, even if you win and I lose, or I win and you lose, I just want to tell you that you are my good sister and partner forever, and our feelings will not be dispersed because of this game." ”

"Hmm..."Feeling Lalua's thoughts, the warmth and discomfort flowed through Catherina's heart at the same time, she really hoped that Lisandre and they knew the real self instead of the pretended self, but this was impossible, she had to pretend to be strong, and replied: "Well, no matter how time passes, no matter what happens between us, I, Catherina, will never forget your group of friends!"

Dangdang!

At the same time as Catherina's words fell, the bell for the start of the game also rang, and she let go of Lalua's hand in a tangled way, and she grabbed a chess piece and put it on the table: "Okay, let's start, just do your best." ”

"Well, good!" Lalua didn't have the same troubles as Catherina, after being comforted by everyone, her mood was much better, anyway, it was just a game to decide who of the two would enter the Sky Fox Mansion and it wasn't to part, so there was no need to be sad.

After smiling and drawing the chess pieces to decide the two of them, she started playing chess with Catherina in a normal heart, and although it was not as stress-free as playing at Fujiwara's house, she no longer had the uncomfortable emotions that made her want to cry before the game.

Smack!

The black and white chess pieces occupied the chessboard one by one, but Catherina's complexion changed dramatically during a game of chess, she played in the wrong place, and she was supposed to break through at the left tip but at the right tip.

I originally wanted to go down to the left tip, but because of the inner entanglement, I went to the wrong place.

"Damn it!" Subconsciously picked up the chess piece and put it in the original position where it was originally intended to be placed, and Catherina's movements were as if time had stood still, and she did not move.

The figures of Benny and Yuhui crossed Catherina's mind, only if they won the game, they could be rescued, they couldn't lose, they had to win the game, but they made a wrong move that was enough to affect the whole game...

"Just now... Did Catherina move the pieces?" Looking at the chessboard, Lalua seemed to be unable to believe the facts, suspecting that she had read it wrong.

Thinking back to the scene just now, Catherina really regretted the move, and she played the chess piece after the eight-eleventh and then moved to the six-eleventh.

Raised his head to look at Catherina who had withdrawn her hand, although the memory showed that Catherina repented of chess, but did Catherina not speak mean that she was wrong, or...

Tick tock!

The time in the timer next to the chessboard was still moving, but the two fell into silence, Lalua frowned and stared at Catherina who was clenching her knees in confusion, she wanted to win very much, not only for herself, but also for her mother's expectation and the need to have victory.

Originally, she had seen the victory, but now Catherina's actions made her tangled again.

"Kai..." really can't be determined, when Lalua wants to ask, Catherina admits defeat voluntarily: "I admit defeat!"

Catherina's voice was very low, this victory was very important to her, it was related to Benny and Yuhui, but in the end, she still couldn't let go of her feelings for Lisandre, and she could pretend not to know about others' own regrets, but not Lisandre.

At the beginning, I have said that everything depends on my own ability, who loses and who wins depends on myself without regrets, and if I regret chess, if I pretend to be nothing, it is a violation of the agreement. Although this verbal agreement was not binding, it represented the trust between her and Lisandre.

Catherina was already guilty of hiding her identity, and she didn't want to owe them anything to Lisandre.

Catherina left in silence, the blow of defeat in the final game was too great for her to speak.

Not being able to obtain the place of guard means that all the previous preparations have been wasted, and he is looking for other ways to infiltrate the Sky Fox Mansion, which means that the time to save Yuhui and Beni will be delayed again.

Lias must have a purpose for capturing Yuhui and a few people, and she will not kill a few people at will, otherwise Benny and Aini will not be brainwashed, but as soon as she wants a few people to still be under Lias's control, Catherina can't help but be angry.

Catherina, who is usually not surprised, was unable to calm down at this time, signing the process of her failure, and the hand holding the pen was trembling unconsciously, this time the failure was really beyond her imagination and beyond her expectations.

The second watch will be sent before 12 o'clock.
