Chapter 49: Grantelle
"It's really thanks to the professor this time. Reilly smiled and said, "We don't have time to fight with the Kingdom Army. ”
"Haha, it's nothing. When I saw you in trouble, I came to help...... But why are you arguing with the Kingdom Army? I just heard you talk about terrorist activities and stuff......
"I've heard that a group of criminals have been disguising themselves as others recently, and we've probably mistaken them for those guys. Joshua said.
"Yes, yes, it must be so, it's infuriating!" said Estier, pouting, "The people in the army are really arrogant." ”
"They have the responsibility of defending the country, and of course they cannot spare any suspicious person. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Blame the criminals." ”
"Speaking of which, has the matter at the Tower of the Red Lotus been resolved?" asked Yaroy.
"Well, although there are still some sequelae, they can basically be solved. Estelle said with a smile.
"It's terrifying. When we first met, I thought you two would definitely make a career. Now, it seems that my vision is still very good. ”
"Begging, hate~ Even if you praise us like this, it's no good. Estelle was shy.
"Haha, we're still practicing. Joshua said, "By the way, why did the professor come to such a place?"
"Of course, I'm going to the royal capital. I wanted to take a regular boat, but I was worried about the money......"
"Uh...... You're still the same, still living a poor life. Istelle said with a wry smile.
"Scholars of their kind are like this, as soon as they have money, they spend it on research projects, and they must be frugal in their lives. Reilly smiled and said.
"That's right...... However, it's really fate to meet here, so the professor will go to the royal capital with us, right?"
"Wait a minute, Astelle. We don't know what the professor is going to do yet......"
(Already suspicious of the professor? this kid is really sharp)
Reilly gave Joshua a playful look.
"I'm in favor of it. Yaluwa smiled and said, "There are occasional monsters popping out of the streets, so it's safer to be with you." ”
"In that case...... I'm sorry for your advice. When it came to this, Joshua couldn't refuse.
"Well, let's go. ”
After leaving the St. Heim Gate, the crowd soon came to a fork in the road.
"Guys over there, please wait a minute. A group of soldiers approached and stopped Reilly's group.
"Recently, Albe's Palace has been forbidden to be visited, isn't there a notice posted on the streets of Grantell?"
"We are not inhabitants of Grantell, but travelers from the Porte Saint-Heim. Reilly said with a smile.
"Oh, it's a traveler. The captain looked at them in amazement and said, "How bold it is that there are people walking to Grantelle at a time when the terrorists are active." ”
"Uh...... What is the place of Elbe's Palace?" asked Estelle, surprised.
"It's a small palace belonging to the royal family, and citizens are usually allowed to visit it......" Saying this, Reilly looked at the soldiers again: "Wait, why do you suddenly have to block the Albert Palace? Could it be that it has been attacked by terrorists?"
"Absolutely impossible! With us here, those lawbreakers don't want to get close to the royal capital!" the captain shook his head and said, "But the Albe Palace has been taken over by the army and has become the headquarters for the search for terrorists. I advise you not to go over there, lest you be considered terrorist. ”
"I see, thank you for the reminder. Reilly said with a smile.
After the soldiers left, Yaroy pushed his glasses and said, "Really, the more they say don't come closer, the more I want to see what is going on." How about a detour?"
"What can you see when you go? Reilly said angrily.
(Cut, the guy "White Face" is starting to have a bad taste again)
"That's right. ”
When they arrived in the capital, Professor Arroy parted from the crowd, and Reilly said to Joshua and Estelle, "I'm sorry, but it's up to you to do the rest. ”
"Huh?" said Estelle, surprised, "is Mr. Reilly going to separate from us?"
"How so...... If Richard had found out that I had come to the royal capital at this time, he would have sent someone to keep an eye on me. Reilly spread his hands and said, "So I'm going to disguise myself as an ordinary tourist, and I can't move with you for the time being." ”
"Hey, is Colonel Richard afraid of Mr. Reilly?"
"In a one-on-one battle, I don't dare to say that I can beat him. Reilly smiled and said, "Actually, I'm better at destroying a lot of enemies on the battlefield. ”
"It is said that Mr. Reilly had stopped the formed Imperial Army in that war ten years earlier. Joshua said, "Colonel Richard must have known about it." ”
"Good, that's amazing!" exclaimed Istelle.
"In short, it's up to you to complete this commission. Reilly said with a serious face, "Take care of Estelle and don't let her mess around." ”
(By now, the Intelligence Department should have taken control of Grantcel's situation.) The next task is to break the first barrier before Cassius returns. I'm a little embarrassed, but this time I'm going to stand across from Estelle. What will the little girl's expression be when she finds out the truth?
"Got it. Joshua nodded.
"What~ always treat me like a child!" Estelle pouted dissatisfiedly.
After separating from the two rookie guerrillas, Reilly went to the East Block department store to buy some snacks, and listened to the complaints of the salesman.
"The black tea salesman over there is called Kitty, and she's my twin sister. ”
Reilly turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a salesman standing in the area selling black tea.
"You look alike, you deserve to be twin sisters. ”
"She took advantage of her sister's privilege and snatched the position of black tea salesman from me. ”
Reilly, where is this privilege?
"Now that I think about it, my sister has taken advantage of her since she was a child!" The girl pouted and said, "Because she has low blood pressure, I go to get the newspaper every morning! Because she is afraid of cockroaches, I go to eliminate them every time!"
"This ...... You're a family, so it's only natural for you to help each other, right?" said Reilly, blinking.
"If it were just that, I wouldn't have said bad things about my sister all the time......" The girl clenched her fists and said, "The most unforgivable thing is ......!!!."
"Don't rush, speak slowly. Looking at the girl's flushed face, Reilly was a little worried that she would faint suddenly.
"It's obviously twins, why am I the only one who gets fat after eating dessert!!!!"
Reilly suddenly realized: "So that's the point of the problem! But even if you say bad things about your sister behind your back, it's useless." If you want to compete for the position of black tea salesman, you have to rely on your own efforts. ”
"You're right! I want to study hard and improve my professionalism. The girl nodded and said, "One day, I will use my strength to impress the store manager!"
"Huh. Reilly smiled and said, "Come on, girl." ”
