Chapter 56: The Castle Investigation

"Hey, stupid Natsu, have you changed it?"

When she found that there was no more rustling behind her, Alexie waited patiently for a while before she couldn't help but ask her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

“... Well... Uh-huh, let's get moving!"

There was only one voice behind a certain magical girl, and her tone was a little distracted.

Suddenly, the cunning little fox turned around, as if he couldn't wait to see his 'masterpiece'!

I saw that a cute girl dressed as a maid was standing there prettyly, with silver hair and red eyes, a snow-white complexion, and a faint shy crimson on her face. At this moment, her hands were pulling the corners of the costume of the trainee maid on her body, frowning tightly, pulling from time to time, and then raising her hand again, looking left and right at the somewhat loose sleeves above, as if she felt uncomfortable, and her expression was very entangled.

"Humph......"

Alexie walked up to her and circled around her a few times, humming as if looking at something.

Although she was cast by this little girl with a 'visual misleading' magic, it obviously didn't seem to have any effect on a certain magical girl, and maybe this guy could ignore this misleading magic cast by himself!

"Hey, what are you looking at, little girl! Time is running out, hurry up and get moving!"

The corners of her mouth twitched at her like this staring at her like this, and her heart became even more unnatural, and she couldn't help urging a certain magical girl: "Didn't you say that?

"Don't worry, Natsu, if the magic lasts, I'll just find another chance to cast it?"

Alexie waved her hand, not too worried about this kind of thing, because, in comparison, this new image of her in front of her is something that people care about more, okay?

Of course, this is just the words of a certain magical girl, so naturally it is impossible to say it to this guy. Otherwise, if this guy listens, she will definitely go berserk!

"Uh... Cast it again?"

What kind of 'visually misleading' magic is this, so you can ignore the cooldown and cast it continuously?!

When she heard Alexie's words, she suddenly felt like she was being teased by the other party, and there were a few black lines on her face, and her tone became a little dangerous: "This kind of important thing, little girl, did you deliberately not make it clear?"

"How is this possible, I just forgot to say it for a moment! Besides, didn't you not ask?"

Sensing the anger in someone's tone, Alex suddenly jumped away, away from her, and explained as such.

Hey, do you think you can convince me of this kind of reason?

She was even more sure that this little girl was deliberate, and even let her wear maid clothes, it was probably the revenge of this cunning little fox, right?

"Alexie, you ......"

When, when, when......

At this moment, the sound of a brass bell being rung came from nowhere, interrupting what she was about to say.

"Well, let's hurry up and get started, Cherry...... Oh no, Natsu!"

A certain magical girl seemed to have lost her mouth, and quickly covered her mouth, looked at her with wide eyes, and said to her: "... Well, I'm referring to the false identity, I'm in the castle right now by the name Luke, of course you're called Cherie, well, that's it, let's go, Natsu, you hear the bell, right? It's time for the maids to start working......"

As she spoke, the little girl hurriedly opened the door and walked out first.

“......”

She looked at this guy who seemed to be getting a little flustered, and she really didn't know how to accuse this little girl, and sighed in her heart.

Miss Luke...... With Cherry's maid?

The only difference is that even a certain Miss Luke has changed from the identity of the master to the same maid as Cherry?

With a 'snap', she patted her forehead and endured a certain urge to kill in her heart.

She believes that if she continues to think about it like this, according to her previous nature, she will definitely be unable to help but slap a certain little girl flat!

Well, I have a lot of adults, so I don't bother with you little girl!

Soon, with a black face and a muttering in her heart, she also walked out of the maid's room.

......

"Since the leader of the Daybreak Thieves is in Count Rex's castle, if there is no accident, he should be in the eastern part of the castle, because this is where Count Rex receives his guests. However, the leader of the thieves group is an unknown identity after all, so it cannot be ruled out that he was arranged by Count Rex in another part of the castle......!

Along the way, seeing that she still had a black face, Alexie could only take the initiative to talk to this guy and divert her attention, so as not to keep brewing some anger in her heart, and finally explode and hurt the innocent flowers and plants.

“... Hmph!"

Hearing the words of a certain magical girl, she just snorted coldly and didn't talk to this little girl.

Even if she had wanted to remind the little girl of the connection between the leader of the thieves and a certain lord, she didn't bother to do so now, although, with the cunning of a certain little fox, it was impossible not to notice this.

At this time, there were already many servants walking back and forth in the corridors of the castle, but they did not panic, and only disguised themselves as rushing to their posts, shuttling among the many maids.

Soon, the two of them came to the eastern part of the castle, and easily surveyed this area with the convenience of the maid.

However, as they searched one guest room after another, they found nothing of note, let alone the leader of a certain group of thieves.

The sky gradually became brighter.

A ray of morning light shone from the sky and shone on some of the courtyard-like courtyards where they were walking, and the plants in the courtyard were still hanging with a little crystal dewdrop, sparkling in the morning light.

Not... I couldn't find the leader of the thief group, could it be that the news I got from the mouth of a certain deputy head was fake?

As soon as she left the last guest room, she couldn't help but have such doubts in her heart, and her brows furrowed.

And,Looking at the expression of a certain magical girl next to her,It seems that I'm starting to suspect this.。 Tsk, could it be that the news she brought back in a hurry played a misleading role in this little girl?

“... Alexie, did you say that I got the message...?"

Eventually, she spoke, speaking to a magical girl in a psychic connection.

Because, if this little girl really wasted time and opportunity because of her wrong news, she would still take the initiative to admit her mistake.

"No, that's just one of the possibilities, Natsu!"

Hearing her words, Alexie shook her head and expressed her disagreement: "Perhaps, the leader of the thieves group has already left, or perhaps, he really has a close relationship with Count Rex, and it is possible that he has been secretly arranged in a more secret place! So, it's not your fault, and what we did before is not meaningless! At least, we ruled out the possibility that the other party was in the eastern area of the castle and narrowed down the scope of the investigation...... If it's really that Deputy Head Erwin lied, risked his own life, and used false news to mislead us, then there is no way to do it, right?"

Alexie spoke to her in a calm tone as she walked, and finally came to the following conclusion.

"So, we might as well start again with Count Rex and investigate his relationship with the leader of the thieves, which was what I wanted to do before, but it just delayed a little later, and it didn't matter...... Well, let's start investigating with his henchmen!"

To her surprise, a certain magical girl who has always been cautious and has a very vindictive mentality doesn't seem to be ready to attribute the cause of the incident to her, but begins to analyze the various possibilities, which makes her less obsessed with a little girl's deliberate tricks on her before.

Moreover, the fact that they can investigate so smoothly now is indeed because of the fact that they are all disguised as maids!

"Hmm, Count Rex's confidant...... Little girl, do you have any clear goals?"

She was a little relieved, and she also began to analyze the details of the matter, and couldn't help but ask Alexie.

"Of course!"

Hearing her question, Alexie's tone was extremely confident, and she snorted a few times, as if she was very sure: "I have already investigated in the city of Killwater, and if you want to say which person in this castle is the most powerful and trusted person by him besides Count Rex, it must be 'Faure Richard'!" He is the chief butler of the Count of Rex, and has served the Rex family for sixty years, and the chief butler has been by the side of the Count of Rex since he was a child, and he is loyal......!

Tut... Fort Richard, Chief Steward of the Castle, Lawrence Richard, Chief of the Guard?

Hearing Alexie's narration, she was shocked in her heart, because the name 'Richard' or something was quite impressive to her!

You know, when she snuck into the castle for the first time last night, didn't she run into a certain chief of guard named Richard?

Not... Could it be?

Suddenly, a not-so-kind thought suddenly appeared in this guy's mind, as if a little devil was laughing.

"Hey, stop, you two!"

Just as the two of them pretended to be the maids of the castle and walked 'silently' with their heads bowed, a scolding rang out not far in front of them.
