Chapter Fifty-Six: Doubt—An Inexplicable Chill

"What did you do to Sakura?!"

"What did you do to your brother?!"

Just when I wanted to reach out and pull up Xia Baifei, who had just been kicked to the ground, (in fact, it wasn't a kick - people just made a move to kick someone, and that Xia Baifei said that he tripped over the table when he dodged!) Two unexpected people suddenly appeared in the midst of us. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, hey, hey! Yay, got into a fight! Yay, got into a fight! "Who?!"

"It's the Thresteen Sakura siblings and the Moranshisha Bofei siblings!"

"Wow! Incredible! ”

"Yes! It's war! It's a war! ”

Everyone present gathered around.

"Guess who wins?!" ――In the crowd of onlookers, there was even Sister Cana's high-spirited voice?!

"I'm betting on Sakura!" Sister Tina also chimed in, "Miss Morancy is lost!" - What do you think, Hierones? ”

"Me? I think Sakura will win, too! - It's my daughter, after all! How could you possibly lose to Duke Solna? ”

"Humph!" Duke Solna snorted in his characteristic hoarse voice, "though I don't want to admit it...... But the little girl does have a gap with Sakura! ”

"Ugh! Didn't anyone choose Moranchy? Sister Cana sighed, "Hiccup! I want to bet on Sakura's ...... too Alas! ”

"Hey, hey! Did you hear that? Both of the two Knight Captains said that the 'black-haired wicked girl' would win! ”

"Huh? But didn't Lord Thresteen invite Miss Morancy to be her dance partner today? ”

"But, she's dealing with a 'black-haired wicked girl'! You see. Even Lord Xia Baifei was knocked down! ”

"And the Duke of Solna, who is Moranshi's father, has taken the initiative to admit defeat!"

"Woo! Miss Morancy is so pathetic......"

"Yes, yes!"

"...... "What are these two fools doing here?" -- The image of others has been completely ruined by you......

I looked at Assa, who was full of hostility towards Xia Baifei in front of me, and Moranxi, who was glaring at me with anger on his face. I want to cry without tears.

And the crowd around to watch the excitement - (the most annoying is Sister Cana!) What are you coaxing in there? Unexpectedly, his father and Sister Tina ...... Oh! And the Duke of Solna dragged in, and he didn't come to help others! )

Alas...... Les...... You say, sister, why am I so unlucky today!

"It's okay! It's okay! I accidentally fell on it myself! Xia Baifei stood up and explained to everyone.

"Fell yourself? I saw it just now—"

"Lacey! Shut up! "I hastened to stop Asa,

"Ugh! But—" Thresten, played by Asa, looked at me solemnly and with some surprise.

It can't be Xia Baifei who did something to you that you hate, and then Sakura you beat him, right? - This idiot looked at me with a clear desire to ask.

"Brother, is it true?" Moranxi also stared at Xia Baifei with a solemn face, "You really fell by yourself?!" ”

It really wasn't the wicked girl who pushed you? - That's what she meant.

"It's really me!" Xia Baifei scratched her head in embarrassment. "It's touching the table—the waiters here just now saw it!"

“……”

"Na! Miss Moranch, since they said so, it must be right! Asa, who quickly reacted, gracefully saluted the surroundings. Sorry everyone! It's all a misunderstanding! Miss Morancy and I were impulsive when we saw Viscount Charpaify fall! So—please forgive me for disturbing my sister and Miss Morancy's concern for my brother. All right? "Finished. Without waiting for everyone to disperse, Serrestine, played by Asa, officially bowed to Xia Baifei again, "Your Excellency Xia Baifei! Just rude! ”

Dead perverted! How nice would it be to be so smart? It's time to remedy it when it's too big - don't think sister, I'll spare you today!

"Well...... Sister Sakura, just ...... I'm sorry......" Miss Morancy bowed to me with a blushing face.

"It's okay!" I smiled wryly.

"Hah! It turned out to be a misunderstanding! "It's boring! White is looking forward to one! The people around laughed and dispersed, "Anyway, Sakura has won!" "Yes, yes!"

Expect? What the hell are you expecting?!

Woo......! How many people can believe the explanation just now—alas!

Really, it's all your fault!

Thinking of this, I glared at Asa fiercely again.

He craned his neck in fear.

Hum! Go back and clean up-

Hey?!

Suddenly. It was just that suddenly, and everyone laughed and dispersed. As Asa bowed his head and admitted his mistake, I suddenly felt a chill.

No, it's not a chill, it's like ...... It's like meeting a lone wolf on the prairie, a vulture on the mountainside, a horned viper in the desert – the feeling of being watched by a beast of prey. I shuddered involuntarily.

But...... It seemed a little different - it seemed like someone was watching me closely, no, not me, it seemed like he was ......

I looked around in confusion, but the moment I looked up, the feeling suddenly disappeared.

So fast?! - Know I'm looking for him?

"Sakura, what's wrong?" "Sakura-san? What's the problem? "Probably because you see that I look different, right? Asa and Xia Baifei asked together with concern.

"Something seems to be wrong there," I whispered, glancing in the general direction of what I had felt for a moment.

-- It was the VIP area where the envoys of various countries were located. Although there was a commotion in the venue just now (it was all killed by Assa!) But the envoys were very polite and did not come to watch, but only watched from afar, and those who were not interested in the commotion were only focused on their own food.

Kindness...... I've read everyone's information, so there's no problem?

――And I just went over to make a round.

There shouldn't be any assassins, right?

Was it just a delusion?

Also...... There are also a lot of magicians today, and the priests are present (Asa next to me is a genius among magicians). The chill was so obvious just now, how could they not feel it?

That...... Is it really my delusion?

――It's safer to go over and see if it's safe!

Although I was a little skeptical about the feeling just now, I always felt that I couldn't let go of it.

"Ah...... Yes! Les. Accompany my sister and I'll go over for a while! ”

"Understood! - Miss Moranch, I'm sorry! My sister has something, I'm a little out of company! ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Threstine!" Probably also noticed that my expression was very solemn, right? Moranch obediently flashed to the side.

"Sakura-san, I'll go too!" Xia Baifei also followed quickly to catch up.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Who exactly is it?

While pretending to chat with Xia Baifei, he approached cautiously.

The Tajek mission to the south consisted of twelve. The desert kingdom of Tara sent only nine men, Northridge only three, and most of the rest were merchants from the free city of Kesir. Kindness...... The characteristics of each envoy are described in detail in the ball. There shouldn't be an assassin pretending to be, then...... What's the chill that chills down your spine just now? Although it was only for a short moment, I could almost conclude that some of the guests in front of me had different purposes than others.

"Miss Sakura, that person—" Suddenly, Xia Baifei pointed to a person not far away, wearing a white robe. The man who is concentrating on tearing the grilled chicken thighs.

"Huh? He? He was the deputy head of the Tajek Legation - was there anything wrong? ”

The man wore a turban as white as the robe. The corner of the towel that drooped slightly obscured his right eye.

"He's from Tajek?" Xia Baifei said strangely, "How can you wear the clothes of a desert country?!" And also...... What happened to his right eye? ”

"I remember his name is Sanle, and he is a native of Tara in Tayek," Asa explained to me, "because he has a scary scratch on his right eye from a desert hyena, so he usually covers it with a large turban, and this time he has changed the turban to a smaller size according to our request." ”

"Oh, Sanraku?! -- I've heard of it. Xia Baifei seemed to remember, "Tajek does have such a diplomat. ”

After saying that, he looked at Sanle a few more times. It still seems a little hard to let go.

"Xia Baifei, what do you think is wrong with him?" Asa asked.

"The problem is no—but I always feel like I've seen him somewhere," Xia Baifei shook his head contemplatively, "but I guess I've never seen that Sanle - forget it, maybe it's my delusion." ”

"It must be your delusion - the least suspicious of all the people here is Sanle!" I said with a smile.

What assassin would have disguised himself as someone with such obvious features? And looking at Sanle's special dress, anyone who sees him can't help but take a few more glances - even some people who go to the table to get food, and people who pass by Sanle will be curious to secretly observe the scars on his face.

- If the assassin were disguised as Sanraku, he would be discovered if he wasn't careful.

Sanraku, who we were talking about at this point, noticed that we were observing him, raised his right hand slightly to greet us, and by the way, he smiled and lifted the headscarf in front of his right eye - he must have thought that we were also curious about his scars, right? I simply proudly displayed it.

We smiled and saluted him as well.

"Also," Xia Baifei laughed to himself, "that assassin would be stupid enough to pretend to be him?" -- Let's go see the others! ”

"Well, there shouldn't be a problem here - could it be that Sakura is you too sensitive?"

"No—I did feel a little strange about my sister just now," I said, turning around with the two of them, trying to walk the other way.

However, the moment I turned around, I felt the chill again!

"Sakura! Problematic! Asa said nervously.

It seems that he also felt strange when he turned his head at the same time as me!

Behind us, not far away, Sanle, the deputy head of the Tajek Mission, who had just had no problems, walked towards us with a smile and a toast - and at the same time, we felt the bone-chilling chill that was fleeting again! (To be continued.) )
