"What? Ling is gone? "The next morning, when Estelle and the others went to the palace to report their mission and returned to the association to sort out the information on their next move, in addition to learning about the ruins of Ravennu Village and the mechanical monsters that appeared on the streets of Perth, they also found that the little girl who had been lost in the palace had suddenly disappeared.

"I guess I think it's troublesome, so I'm going out to play alone. Really, it's a nuisance. Shelazadeh expressed displeasure.

"And how did she disappear under everyone's noses?" Kim found a strange suspicion, "Even if everyone is not paying attention, they can disappear without noticing......"

"Ling still has to be found, but the information can't be left unhandled." Estelle's momentum was like a rainbow, "Can Heliga and Faye help with sorting out the information?" ”

"Ah, I'm fine. However, Fei said that she still has something to do, and it seems that something went wrong with the things she bought yesterday. Heiliga calmly recounted the excuses she had just made, "I'll tell her when she returns." ”

"That's good." Estelle nodded, "Let's go!" ”

——————————————————————————

"No...... Estelle, they're completely tricked. Fei somehow made it to the roof of the Wangdu Department Store, and was tracking the purple-haired petite figure with a telescope - from the shops in the East Block to the museums and fishing troupes in the South Block, Ling was happily talking to the local staff, and finally left happily - and then Estelle's tracking team arrived in a rage and learned that Ling had left first.

"Huh? Where is the airport? Looking at Ling walking in the direction of the international airport, Fei frowned, there were many people there and noisy, it would be very inconvenient for her to track, and tracking was not her specialty after all, "Let's stop here today...... It seems that she has no intention of leaving...... It's just playing hide and seek with Istelle. Scold...... This level of action is definitely not an ordinary person. It doesn't look like there will be any mistake in Helriga's judgment. Withdrawn. ”

Sure enough, not long after Faye returned to the association, Ling returned with the guerrillas who were looking for her - and bought black tea and pastries to make amends. It turned out that because everyone was focused on work, Ling was very bored, so she used this method to attract everyone's attention.

"Huh? What about Istelle? Heliga looked up, but a girl with two ponytails was not in the group.

"She...... Something. Sherazade's eyes dodged, as if she was hiding something.

——————————————————————————

"Whew...... ......"At this moment, Estelle is running towards the Great Wall of Yaninburg at an unprecedented speed. On the way back, Ling handed Estelle a letter, and judging from Ling's description, handwriting, and content, the owner of the letter was none other than Joshua, whom she had been thinking about.

The sudden news of the goal she had been chasing made Estelle refuse, and she immediately ran towards the location mentioned in the letter, ignoring her protests against the lack of oxygen supply. However, when she finally arrived at her destination, gasping for breath, she didn't wait for the imaginary black-haired boy, but waited for a very familiar green onion.

"Father Kevin?" Estelle couldn't help but be stunned, and the other party was looking at her with strange eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

"Could it be...... Is Estelle here to wait for someone? Kevin's expression gradually turned cold from the joy of seeing an acquaintance, and finally he just asked softly.

"Is that so? Haha, what a coincidence...... Could it be that Kevin, you were also called out by Joshua......" Astelle scratched her head and snorted.

"Is there such a coincidence in the world...... Wait, Joshua? ”

"yes...... It's the one I've been looking for...... Well...... Boyfriend ......"

"Whew...... I don't think so. Kevin shook the letter in his hand, "This is an uncle who gave it to me...... There's intel on some of the things I'm investigating right now. ”

Before Estelle could come to her senses, two fully automated flying dinghys slowly circled behind the two of them. Although Astelle hurriedly met the battle, Father Kevin suddenly burst out with a different strength and easily repelled the attacking boat. On the way back, Estelle could no longer hold back the doubts in her heart, and she stopped Father Kevin: "What the hell is going on!" Ahh …… Why...... Why did the meeting with Joshua turn out like this......"

"Haven't you found anything suspicious?" Sighing, Kevin patiently explained, "...... You said you received a letter from him? Can you be sure that he wrote it? ”

"This ...... Both the handwriting and the tone of the letter ...... It's like Joshua...... "Estelle's mind told her that it all pointed to a ridiculous truth, but there was a voice inside her that was desperately crying out not to give up this last hope.

"Impossible." The truth in Kevin's mouth is cold and ruthless, "Whether it's tone or handwriting, if you deliberately imitate it, it's easy to fool people who don't pay attention...... Especially with your current state of restlessness. If you don't believe me, look at this again. With that, Kevin handed over his letter—the envelope was almost identical.

"Ah......" Estelle, who learned the truth, felt sadness at this moment - the huge gap in the shattering of good hopes made the girl's eyes red in an instant, and she held back so that the tears did not slide down.

"You played with my feelings like this...... Pretending to be Joshua, he tricked me out. Unforgivable......" said Estelle, holding back her anger, trembling.

"Calm down." Kevin patted her on the back, "If you lose your mind now, you'll fall into someone else's trap." Let's go back to the association for the time being and sort out the information. ”

"Huh? Gone? With his eyes closed, Heliga could not see what was in front of him, but he could hear the movement clearly. Ling was humming a song just now while tinkering with something on the association's communicator. In front of the tables on the first and second floors of the guild, Estelle's companions lay down in a row. With the sound of a quiet knock on the door, Heiliga woke up from her feigned sleepiness, "Fey, Olivier?" ”

“…… You really got it right. Olivier smiled wryly, got up from the sofa on the second floor, and took Fei with him, "What to do now?" ”

"Wait for Estelle to come back. This matter seems complicated, but it seems very simple. Hailiga smiled bitterly, "I just received news that some militants have launched an attack on the palace, I didn't expect her to act so quickly." It seems that the plan is still very well-planned...... If it weren't for these facts, Estelle's stupid wouldn't have believed it. ”
