"Oh? Theo-chan, your equipment is really good, and Sharon and I didn't notice it at all, right? ”

Hearing Ling mention herself, Sharon, who didn't smile, bowed her head slightly. She and Ling are among the twenty-two executors of the association, and they are among the top in terms of intelligence gathering ability. This means that both of them are more capable of stealth action, detection, perception, and even intuition than most executors. But now they couldn't find out if anyone was walking outside the door of this room, and instead Tio reminded them that their combat ability was completely inferior to that of the two of them.

"Isn't it your own magic to interfere with the position, who invented this kind of enchantment that others can't find themselves, but even they close their eyes and plug their ears?"

It's like an ostrich burying its head in the ground, but it's the whole body. When Tio first arrived in this room, he wanted to complain when Ling and Sharon finished arranging, and being able to endure it until now shows that this girl with a quiet appearance has her own unique persistence in the skill of complaining. It had to be at the right time, though it probably wasn't something she did consciously.

"Hmm...... Looks like Sister Luciola? ”

Ling tapped her chin with her finger and thought for a moment, then tilted her head to ask Sharon for confirmation.

"Yes, it's a by-product of Miss Luciola's research on yin-yang illusions."

The Bell of Illusion - Luciola, the executor of the association NO.6, is a master illusion master in charge of the 'Yin Yang God'. She was also one of the people who took good care of her in the association that Tio had heard Ling mention - in fact, the members of this association called the Snake of the Body were not as common people understood, the members of the mysterious evil group were all vicious villains, but if she had heard Ling talk about them, Theo also thought that most of the executors were good people with a bit of quirks. At least the vast majority of the executors take great care of Rei, who is naturally cute and especially likes to sell cuteness, just like the boxing technique she used to defeat Theo in the ring before, which is the secret of the martial arts masters among the executors, but it was taught to her.

While the three of them were talking, a knock finally sounded behind Sharon. This can be regarded as a confirmation that Theo's feeling is very accurate. After arranging the magic interference barrier, the people outside the room cannot detect the people in the room through anomalies such as guò energy fluctuations, but the people in the room will also be affected by the interference. It's like putting a thick black cloth on the window that completely blocks out the light. The people outside can't see inside, and the people inside can't see anyone outside looking inside.

And Theo, due to her childhood experience, has an extraordinary ability to sense. You can 'hear' distant sounds, 'see' things far away, and even read other people's feelings on a certain distance. This ability, which is not supported by energy such as magic or qi, will not be blocked by the interference set up by Ling and Sharon, and will naturally be able to detect visitors from the outside before the two of them.

"It's Miss Du Barry, please come in."

With the maid present, it was naturally not Theo and Ling's turn to do such a thing as opening the door. Well, it's 'not the turn', how can Theo's action be as fast as Sharon? The kind of action that is obviously fast but does not make people feel panicked, and is as pleasing as flowing water is amazing, but it is inevitable to want to complain about whether it is a bit tyrannical to use such a strong strength to serve others as a maid.

"I thought it was someone from this school or the person who hosted this martial arts meeting, but it turned out to be Sister Du Barry."

Ling stood up politely, smiled sweetly and greeted the girl who was walking in from the door.

The visitor was a young girl with her hair tied up, dressed in a medieval European pastoral style...... Ahem, it may not be easy to understand this, but in the words that modern people often say, it is a slightly rustic village girl dressing up...... Although the dress and hairstyle are a bit rustic and ahem, the girl's expression is extremely serious and strict like that of Reizen, reminiscent of a knight wearing armor and riding on a horse and holding a spear and shield.

"Ah, Ling, hello, cough!"

Seeing Ling greeting herself with that cute attitude, the Yan expression on the girl's face disappeared instantly, and she smiled a little silly and waved her hand back to Ling, but then she seemed to find that her behavior violated the majesty of the knight. He quickly hid his hand behind him, blinked his eyes, and said in a very stern tone: "Lord Clotide, please ask the two executors to meet her to discuss something, and Miss Theo may go with her if she wishes." ”

"I'm not the one you associate with, so I'm not going."

Tio refuses the girl's invitation very directly, regardless of the fact that Rei is looking at her like a puppy with big watery eyes. If she wanted to be involved in the action of the association, then Theo had already joined the association when she was invited. Despite her very average fighting ability, as Sharon said, not all of the association's executors are combatants who are well-versed in various combat techniques. Among them, there are also talents who specialize in special fields. A girl like Theo, who has a special sensing ability and has mastered the latest sharp guiding network technology, is naturally one of the talents who want to be able to network.

I didn't join in the first place, and now I naturally won't let myself get caught up in their plans. Although Theo also knows that because of Ling's relationship, his position is very delicate in the eyes of others. But she would stick to her ideas, especially since it was clear at this stage that the plans of the association would inevitably clash directly with that person, and she would not be able to participate in their actions!

If it was just ordinary members getting together like Ling and Sharon, it would be fine, but when she heard the name of the girl who came in, Tio knew that it was an occasion that she must not go to.

Vita Clotide, whose name is widely known on the continent of Semria, where Tio used to live, as the popular actress of the Imperial Opera House in the Erebonian Empire. But one of the more important identities of this woman is one of the seven Serpent Apostles in the Snake Society, who are above the twenty-two executors and second only to the leader of the Alliance. As the second pillar, a real witch nicknamed 'The Abyss of the Firmament'.

Although Theo had never seen the woman before, he had only seen her in the accompanying pictures of newspaper news reports about performances at the Imperial Opera House. But the weight of the Serpent Apostle's summoning of the executors was well known to Theo. Besides, that woman was one of the few people who made Tio feel very uncomfortable just by looking at the photo. She didn't know what kind of mystery the woman was hiding, and she didn't want to have the opportunity to know. Perhaps it was the instinct of her superior sensibility that Tio felt that she should stay as far away from the woman as possible.
