In this way, the prince went through many hardships, crossed the mountains and crossed the stream, and finally came to the gate of the distant castle where the princess was, and met the lover whom he had once fallen in love at first sight. 】

"Sister Tangerine, I think there is something wrong with this fairy tale you said."

Sitting in the carriage, Nangong, who was enjoying the scenery outside the window with a swaying rhythm, asked very keenly.

In this era when transportation has been very developed, it is natural that there is no need to be reduced to the level of riding a carriage, but first, because of Sister Tangerine's proposal, and secondly, because I want to take this opportunity to experience the fun that most people will not have a chance to enjoy in the future, Nangong, who has no opinion, got into a carriage with her under Sister Tangerine's arrangement.

A middle-aged coachman with a beard, with soft fur, did not bring a horse with a little miscellaneous hair, and with the gradual progress of the journey, it can already be vaguely seen, presumably the bustling city has another mood of country roads, all of which began to take on a bit of fairy tale color.

Of course, it would be better if Sister Tachibana didn't tell that meaningful "fairy tale" because of a joke, because the destination of this trip was not the castle of the fairy tale princess, and the person who went there was not a prince, but a commoner as a guest, and he also brought a merchant with him.

"What's the problem? Isn't that a title appropriate for you? After laughing, Sister Tangerine deliberately lowered her voice, "Monster 'killer' Nangong? ”

"What kind of title is this......

"It's just a title based on your deeds, so you should know a little bit about counting the monsters around you." Sister Tangerine covered her forehead and sighed, "Hey." In the future, I must let my daughter pay attention not to meet you. ”

"Sister Tangerine, your daughter. How old is it? "Although this question seems like a pervert would only ask. But Nangong still couldn't suppress his curiosity. Not to mention that Sister Orange's youth doesn't look like a mother at all, if she really has a daughter, then I'm afraid she is also a girl who will inevitably make people look away.

"Wouldn't it be better to take her with you if you're traveling?"

"Well, what should I say about her, there's something wrong with her body." Sister Tangerine stared at Nangong for a while, but judging from the smile she immediately revealed, it seemed that her daughter was not suffering from the incurable disease that made people sad and sad as she imagined.

"It's easy to say that you can't go far away. This time, I let her stay at a friend's house, so I was relieved. Just say you don't have any interest in my daughter? She's a good daughter who has to worry about getting me in trouble even if she gets dragged out of the house. ”

I'm not going to be interested, no, what kind of brains do I have to make a fuss about a girl I haven't even met......

"And you also know Nangong, the particularity of the profession of the Inspector, and the dangers they need to bear." Sister Tangerine seemed to be casually telling an "ordinary" thing, "I was inevitably involved, but I don't want my daughter to jump into this bottomless pit with me." It's actually really good to be an ordinary person who will be affected by the gods. ”

“%……&*（&？”

The driver who drove the car did not give Nangong any extra time to think, and soon his head poked in from the front and his very fluent "bird language" made Nangong return to the state of a tourist.

"Looks like we've arrived, let's get out of the car." Sister Tangerine pushed Nangong, who hurriedly picked up her weapon. She began to rummage through her purse. Although it is probably a big blow to the self-esteem of a man to let a woman pay the bill here, Nangong, who doesn't even understand the language, can't find any reason to refute this.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. Even the air in this suburb seems to be much cooler. At this time, Nangong also probably understood why those artists like to live alone in a place far away from the world, and such an environment can indeed be said to be a source of artistic inspiration.

So, is Winnie really a monster? Although the screeching noise I heard at the time was irrefutable, the "facts" were often in the hands of everyone, and at that time, I was the only one who felt that Winnie's performance was very out of tune, and the rest of the audience, including Sister Tachibana, was not the slightest displeaser.

What's more, if she was really an ordinary monster, she wouldn't be guilty of choosing her residence in this remote outskirts. It all seems so "like" what an artist would do, that Winnie's own identity seems a little confusing at the moment.

The "castle" that Sister Tachibana said at the beginning was indeed a bit excessive, but there was nothing wrong with describing it as a mansion. It can naturally be seen from Winnie's previous dress that such a neat and elegant appearance must have a place to live.

"Whew, that's a nice place." Different from Nangong's focus, Sister Tangerine's eyes have always stayed on the building, although Nangong has to admit that this mansion that stands like a road sign does not match the surrounding country towns, but Sister Tangerine seems to be interested in its history.

"If you compare it to the surroundings, I'm afraid this building will be 100 years old. Nangong, you have to get ready first. ”

"Ready?"

"Well, do you think such a retro building with a different style of painting than the surrounding area will have the word 'electrification'? I'm afraid that even the most basic lighting will be replaced by candles. Sister Tangerine pointed to the distance, "To be honest, it's really a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect this to be the case." Don't be stunned, it looks like someone is already waiting for us. ”

Following Sister Tangerine's gaze, Nangong also vaguely noticed that in front of the door of this mansion with a completely different painting style, there seemed to be someone waiting there. And as the distance gradually indented, their appearance became clearer.

"Looks like a maid."

Unlike Nangong, who can often be seen, but sees the "real thing" for the first time, Sister Tangerine didn't seem so surprised, but just quietly introduced a black and white maid who was waiting for them with thousands of faces.

"If it's a maid birth, then it must be different from the maids you often see, although it is better to know that a young and vigorous child like you is better, but don't do anything stupid."

"No!" Nangong argued in a low voice as she met the real girl's trembling gaze.

After all, the guest who was invited this time was not Sister Tangerine but Nangong, and of course there was no reason why Sister Tangerine couldn't be brought, such as "This is my translation".

"You, hello guest."

The black-haired girl really perfectly interprets the image of a maid, and she is actually able to communicate directly with herself.

Although it sounds a little stuttering and stiff in terms of language, if this is really a etiquette that was learned in a short period of time, then his own academic ability is a little too terrifying.

"I'm Chiannu, the maid here, your invitation?"

Invite...... No, I guess that refers to invitations.

After fumbling for the invitation that I had looked through many times, but didn't find anything strange, and handed it to the maid who stretched out her hand, Nangong explained, just in case, "Next to it is mine...... Translator, it should be okay to bring her along, right? ”

"No...... As long as it's a 'companion', it's no problem. ”

The maid named Qi'an Nu quickly stuffed the invitation card into her pocket and bowed respectfully to Nangong, "Such distinguished guests, welcome to your arrival." The master is already waiting for you. (To be continued......)
