Conscious of making a confusing arrangement in all the rooms and venues that could be used in the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel, except for the dinner hall, I led her out of the hotel and back to the Daigo Dojo for a final wait. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Throw those cute little dolls in the corner of the dressing room?" Masako's similar questions arose, "But where did Alice come from?" Is the practitioner's four-dimensional pocket real? And the little dolls are so cute, it's so pitiful to throw them in those places. ”

"......" thought for a while, and I decided to ignore some of her questions later, "There are many uses for dolls, kidnapping, surveillance, magic array materials, and when it comes to the quick ability to arrange military positions, even Gensokyo has few people with stronger innate conditions than me...... Although this is also the first time I've seriously considered this use, it shouldn't drop the chain, even if the puppet can't play a role in military control due to various emergencies, it's also a hole card as a self-destructing expert at a critical moment of crisis. ”

"Eh, you obviously said that this was a simple operation, how can it seem that the enemy's dispatch of legions and special forces operations is also taken into account?"

"Once a master appears, he can play a role a hundred times stronger than that of special forces or even legions."

"Ah, it's good to be cautious and cautious."

"It's different from the other day, I hope that the master will show up after these arrangements," I felt very arrogant when I touched my chin, "maybe I can make the problem extremely simple." ”

“……”

Taking advantage of my free time, I dialed Nakamura Ken's phone again, and as expected, I received a busy signal, and Masako was puzzled by my actions: "Just asking someone from the National Police Agency for some information, do you need Uncle Nakamura's help?" But why didn't his phone work? ”

"Not asking him for help. There was a news item this morning, "I told her in my mind the general cause and effect," so his absence from answering the phone, or not being able to answer the phone at all, was probably a sign that he was on a covert mission. ”

"Could it have something to do with Miao?"

"What happens at this time, it doesn't matter how much, don't worry about him, if we can't find him, we will do our own thing."

After resting until about 5:40 p.m., my mother had not yet returned, and Kyoko returned home after the club activities, and my sister told my sister not to run around at night and told my mother that she would be home later, and then we took the prepared bags and went straight to the Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel.

Along the way, Masako seemed to be a lot more silent, and I asked, "Aren't you afraid that your sister will worry about you if you are too vague?" ”

"She knows that I will go out with you and will not worry, she thinks Alice is omnipotent."

"It's all the wrong ideas you instilled......"

"I think so, too."

"It's not good to be overly optimistic."

Coming to the hotel again, there are still more than 30 minutes before the official opening time of the dinner, at this moment there are many luxurious and expensive vehicles driving into the hotel gate, one by one right into the underground parking lot, there are also some cars outside the gate and get out of the car and wave to let the car leave temporarily Lady celebrity seems to be an old-fashioned person, these many businessmen and officials who arrived in advance of course came to communicate with each other in advance, and the theme of the dinner was communication.

Naturally, there were no waiters checking the invitations at the gate of the courtyard wall, and Masako and I entered the hotel lobby without special attention, and the people in gorgeous dresses gathered in groups of three or two were successively handing the invitations to the welcome lady outside the door of the banquet hall, and then politely conceded to each other and poured into the brightly lit hall, the melodious and crisp piano sound penetrated the entrance with the entering crowd through the entrance to the hotel lobby and the courtyard, this formal and nostalgic atmosphere reminded me of the past experience of participating in the few dinners of the little nobles in the countryside.

In the pre-arranged dressing room on the second floor, I changed into a red dress and shawl prepared in the bag, and I put on light makeup for Masako and myself regardless of the pre-set plan order, so the two girls in the mirror who were not dazzling compared to the ladies from all walks of life, but after staring at them for a long time, they also felt moving, and the girls stared at each other for a while, and then Masako carried the cosmetics bag and we returned to the door of the hall on the first floor.

In the mutual smile, the two invitations were handed to the beautiful welcome lady, and there were two more inconspicuous but ill-intentioned beautiful girl duo in the dinner hall.

"The moment the welcome lady looked at me, I felt so nervous!" Masako held my handbag in one hand and the palm of my hand in the other, "I didn't panic so much when I came in and saw so many people." ”

"Of course, there are too many beautiful women in the outside world, and we really don't need to worry about how conspicuous they are, well, according to a mysterious point of view, we have slipped into a barely high-society dinner tonight, and you are likely to get the opportunity to be pursued by handsome and elite men once or even many times."

"You're really going to spoil the atmosphere......"

"Don't underestimate the joke, the probability of a proverb is very high."

"Don't say useless words, Lord Alice, let's hurry up and start the action, there are so many people, it's a good opportunity to learn more about the inside story of the National Police Agency before the dinner starts."

"That's right, it's a chance to hone yourself, it's up to you."

"......" Masako, who suddenly became hesitant and cowered, "I—I don't think I can do it." ”

"Don't just say those two words!" I whispered, "It's easy to curse yourself." ”

“……”

In the interval between looking around for a hunting target, I recalled the general etiquette, language, and behavior patterns of the banquets of the nobles in the outside world, and in view of the similarities in the arrangement of the banquets in the small villages of the British Empire and the banquets in Tokyo, I thought that the customs and customs of the nobles in the exchange banquets of the two distant island nations should not be too different.

Then I found a very familiar face, a very sunny and handsome face, "Isn't that the elite salesman of the Konoe family's sphere of influence, Ryuichi?" ”

"What? Where? Masako followed my gaze, "That handsome guy is the one who tried to kidnap you that night?" ”

"Huh? When did I tell you? "The night I met the succubus, it seemed that Masako happened to be in a spiritual dilemma, and she should have passed on a message when she gave her guidance in a godly way, so she made a note of what happened to me, "Ah you know it's easy to do, that guy's communication skills are professional, no matter why he appeared on this occasion, I think we have a strong helper." ”

"Help, helper? He's just an employee of a few people, right? ”

"According to the habits of the outside world, please call Brother Long Yi a senior public relations."

“……”

It was very simple to attract Ryuichi's attention, and he quietly extended the magic silk thread, and the sunny young man who was laughing with a forty-year-old lady felt a slight vibration on his neck, and along the direction of the vibration, he naturally turned his gaze to me and Masako, who were not too far away.

“！” The panic was followed by forced composure, and the senior publicist youth's face showed a strange and subtle stiff balance between smile and horror, and he beckoned to me to temporarily bid farewell to the bejeweled lady, and maintained an elegant but slightly stiff posture that seemed to be out of long-term training in public relations, pacing towards me and Masako's position.
