32. Command

[The dragon is gone!? 】

I don't know if it was because I was too surprised or because of the suddenly heavy atmosphere around me, Nangong was about to blurt out the words that were stuck in his throat. After realizing that now was not the time to shout, Nangong, who had barely calmed down, chose to wait on the sidelines.

Except for Yuzuri, who was obviously frightened, the rest of the "old monsters" behaved very normally. Shiyu was the first to know what had happened, so after Banyun said it herself, her face was just a little heavy. Bermuda had spied the answer from the maid's heart, so she already knew the answer.

"Anyway, you calm down first, the situation is not as bad as you think."

Banyun, who had always been steady, couldn't control his emotions at the moment, and even though he was so, Shiyu still quietly listened to his incoherent narration.

"Before we deal with this, I want you to do a few things now." At the moment, it is the best thing for Shiyu, as the supreme governor, to take control of the situation, so no one has any objections, "First of all, don't tell anyone about this. Nanao......"

"It's just been set."

There is no need for Shiyu to say more, Nanao has already completed the preparations in advance, "If anyone maliciously intrudes, it will be exposed as soon as possible, I think it should not be possible to run away in this case." ”

Ah, does it look like a preparatory measure?

Although he didn't feel the abnormality around him, Nangong was still relieved. After all, if anyone breaks in and eavesdrops, they will definitely regret it for eight lifetimes. Because it's not a private meeting of a young couple here, but a discussion of a group of old monsters.

"Phew, I've already informed the guests about the dinner for some other reason."

Although anxious, Banyun has not lost the most basic judgment, "But it is not a long-term solution to delay like this, and some monsters with ulterior motives may spread bad rumors." I'm sorry, but for now, I can only ask for your help. ”

"Help...... Mr. Ryuwang, your kind words are really wonderful. ”

In the atmosphere that was still "harmonious", there was a sudden voice that was out of place. Although there was no superfluous expression, the corners of Yi Xian's mouth were already filled with a hint of disdain, "Maybe asking us for help is a reason, but at the same time, it is not among us who doubt us...... Is there anyone who is a prisoner? ”

"Ah, that's right." Ah Gu suddenly shouted, "It seems that everyone has seen the baby's guests in the afternoon?" ”

…… Ahhh Why did this Ah Gu suddenly become so sharp now?

Indeed, the few guests present now are all guests who had seen Long'er in the afternoon, in other words, the prisoners who had the best chance to understand and prepare for this incident. But...... Wouldn't it be too bad to be suspicious of the people around you so quickly when the facts are still undecided?

"Ah Gu! Don't talk about it. ”

Shiyu snorted coldly and shrank back Ah Gu, who had just yelled elated because he had "said the right thing".

"If we find a clue, even if the prisoners are among us, it won't help, and I don't think the prisoners are among us, so let me ...... It's kind of trustworthy. Now that the news of the incident has been hidden, of course, just in case, please stay here for the next few days. Banyun, those good guests can you drag on for a few days? ”

“…… One week is the limit. ”

Banyun fell into deep thought, but it wasn't because of the huge cost that could come this week, but because he was struggling with how to suppress the youkai who liked to do nothing. After all, in the world of youkai, it's not a big deal to spread a rumor. What's more, it's not a rumor at all.

"A week...... That's fine. Nangong Inspector! Without waiting for Nangong to agree, Shiyu quickly gave a death order, "I think you have Banqing's contact information, no matter what reason she uses to prevaricate, immediately let her come here as quickly as possible." ”

"Ahh Be! In the face of Shiyu's rushing face, which symbolized the "oppression" of the supreme official, Nangong couldn't even refute it.

"And then Bermuda."

After waiting for Nangong to hide aside to contact Banqing, Shiyu said to Bermuda, "Your perennial eyes should also be exercised, you are responsible for paying attention to the movements of those guests these days, if anyone has crooked thoughts and plans to put them into action, control that guy, and this task will be handed over to the princess, how about it?" ”

"I can't ask for it."

A sneer appeared on Ying Xuan's face. Punishing youkai with a valid reason is simply a tailor-made task for Yingmo, who doesn't like youkai.

"Yuzu, when you get back to your accommodation, summon your bodyguards, and it's best to travel with you if you can. Ah Gu and Yi Xian, I don't ask for your help, I just hope that you can stay honest and don't cause trouble. ”

Shiyu, who had given a series of orders in a row, did not mean to be tired at all, but rather seemed to still have spare strength, "Banyun, you should work hard to adjust your mentality in the past few days, and don't let others see the problem." Ah, Yunqing's side should also comfort her. Nanao's words......"

"I'm sorry, Lord Toyu. I'll do my best to help. ”

"Whew, that's it. That's it. After staring at Nan Wei, who suddenly bowed his head and apologized, for a long time, Shiyu greeted Nangong, who had finished contacting Banqing.

Although it feels good to be stared at by a strong woman in the flower season, Shiyu's gaze is too sharp.

"Chief Banqing said that he would come immediately." Nangong replied truthfully, "I guess I should be able to arrive tomorrow morning." I've told her not to make a noise or do anything drastic. ”

"Fortunately, because time is pressing, we have to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Shi Yu glanced at the silent Banyun for some reason, "Is Yunqing's state okay?" ”

"I fainted after crying, and now the maid is taking care of her."

Although Banyun now looks a little like a cold and heartless husband, this is not his intention. As the head of the family, he must have the responsibility of being a "man" and a "husband".

The disappearance of the child is not something that can be solved by crying.

"To be on the safe side, I only mentioned it to a few people I could trust. There will be no problems in the short term. ”

"The last thing you can trust now is your maids, and I will work with you to control all the maids who have learned the news."

After learning Banyun's explanation, Shiyu frowned, "It's not too early, come and go with me to identify it immediately." In addition, while resting, you should think about what you saw and heard during the time you left the annex this afternoon and went to the banquet in the evening. ”
