"Uncle, you're so stupid, of course you want to discuss with that sister if you can take away the painting over there, isn't this the task given to us by the head of the regiment?"

"Girl, have you figured out the situation, hey, we're thieves who came to steal!"

"Then you still need to say it?"

The girl looked at the uncle as a matter of course, and the sincere disgust in her eyes made the uncle have the illusion that he was really an idiot for a moment.

"Of course we're thieves, so we're going to talk to someone about whether we can take the painting away. ”

"I see, since you know this, Uncle is not worried...... So, little girl, have you figured out the definition of being a thief, hey! You're underestimating the thief's profession, right?"

The girl's face was aggrieved.

"Uncle, why are you so fierce, just point out what people have done wrong. ”

The uncle held his forehead and turned his head to look at Xia Li who was staring at the two of them behind him, obviously the other party was already suspicious of the two of them.

"Anyway, don't say anything next, I'll know everything!"

"Eh~ Uncle, are you okay?"

"Cut, the girl is not big or small, let me tell you, the uncle is a peerless thief who once left a "visit here" on the gate of the Pope's residence in Solan Holy City and then retreated, so this little task is not too easy, okay. ”

"But uncle, didn't you tell me last time that you carved words on the Ancient Tree of Life in the Elven Forest?"

"Ahem, girl, you're mistaken. ”

The uncle sent the girl behind him with a red face and a heartbeat, and then the two of them came back to Xia Liya.

"Ahaha, this classmate, we also received a notice just now, this is not a hurry to get here and is about to leave, but before leaving, my niece wants to take one last look at this painting, oops, she has liked to paint since she was a child, every time she sees a good work, she can't move, our uncle is also soft-hearted, just take a look, we'll leave after reading, classmate, you think it's okay, right?"

The uncle looked like "My child is really causing you trouble", if it weren't for the series of strange behaviors of these two people just now, Xia Li might not have any suspicions about such a completely harmless two, but right now, Xia Li frowned slightly.

Although she didn't know if these two people were really just tourists or something else, Xia Li's intuition told her that these two people did seem to have a purpose.

“...... Yes, but please be careful about the time, and please evacuate as soon as possible. ”

With that, Xia Li leaned sideways to open the window and let the two of them stand where they had been standing.

On the other side, the uncle-girl duo who had agreed to them so easily was quite happy to see Xia Li, but soon they found out that something was not quite right, Xia Li didn't seem to have any intention of walking away at all, and her pretty face with eyes was expressionless, just staring straight at them like that.

Not to mention that the two of them are really ghosts, even if they are normal visitors, no one can look at them with peace of mind if they are stared at like this.

“...... Uncle, look, your method doesn't work at all, does it?"

The girl whispered to her uncle and bit her ear.

"Uh-huh...... It's not because you're acting too strange, girl, that you've attracted people's attention, isn't it? ”

"Uncle, you are shirking your responsibilities with a hard mouth!"

"Nonsense, let me tell you girl, I think that when our group accidentally released a thousand-year-old corpse demon from an ancient tomb, the old man and your deputy head brother were seriously injured, at that time, but the uncle and I took the responsibility to fight with the corpse demon for three days and three nights and stopped it outside the nearby village and eliminated it, uncle, how could I casually shirk responsibility. ”

"If you hadn't shirked your responsibility, uncle, you wouldn't have looked away when you bragged just now, but told me as cheekily as usual, as if you were real, and uncle, you are a goof, last time you said an ancient lion and scorpion king was released from a beast's den. ”

The girl looked at the uncle who finally showed a little embarrassment with disdain on her face, and waved her hand.

"Oh, hey, sure enough, uncle, you're still unreliable, I'll do it myself. ”

"Hey, wait, what are you going to do-"

Smack, the girl cleanly slapped the hand that the uncle stretched out to stop her, and then came to Xia Li's eyes generously.

"Sister, I have something I want to ask you!"

Xia Li looked at her quietly.

"I'm sorry, sister, please let us take this painting!"

"Cheruth-chan, it's so slow......" In the small restaurant, Sakura looked out the window from time to time, "It can't be that I got lost and didn't find Sister Harrow, right?"

"Probably not," Li Xiaowolf comforted his childhood sweetheart, "Didn't Chelus just say that there is a secret method of transmitting news between them from the Northland Wolf Clan." ”

"However, even if this is the case, it feels like it will take a long time," Zhishi also put down the menu in his hand with some concern, "I remember this morning, all of a sudden, a lot of people came to look for Cheruth, and I actually have some impressions of those people." ”

"Eh, do you know those strange people?"

Sakura asked in surprise.

"Well, I feel familiar too," replied not Chiyo but the little wolf, "It seems that when we first came to the Kingdom of Loris a few months ago, we met those people at the dinner that greeted us. ”

"Huh, so they're nobles?" Sakura, who is not very good at remembering faces, looked surprised, "But why do so many nobles come to Cheruth-chan today?"

Chelus only told her friends that something seemed to have happened when she attended the banquet with Sekaria last night, but she didn't tell them the details, so for a moment, everyone had some bad associations.

After all, they all know that Cheruth's temper has always been that she has no good impression of the so-called identity, and last night's banquet was a gathering of young nobles to put it bluntly, and on that occasion with their understanding of Cheruth, once there is a nobleman who is not long-sighted to pester Cheruth, Cheruth will definitely ignore the dignity of the nobles or something and directly fool the other party.

You must know that not all nobles are as famous as Edus, and today, Sekaria, who is Cheruth's backer, needs to stay with the student council for a day because of the festival and has no energy to pay attention to other things, if the nobleman who was provoked takes this opportunity to hack Cheruth in the academy that is open to the public because of the Alant Festival.

In fact, they did the truth...... However, contrary to what they thought, it was not some nobleman named Linz Wiesenlitt who was really holding Cheruth back at this moment, but two strange guys who appeared after that.

“...... I, I'm going to find Cheruth. ”

Nanoha, who had been looking out the window and didn't interject, suddenly stood up, apparently worried by the discussion among her friends.

"Nanoha-chan!"

"It's okay, you wait here, I'll go to the central square and have a look, I'm almost sure to pass by there when I get from the main entrance of the academy. ”

"Then why don't we go together?" Zhishi said, and stood up as well, "Anyway, we won't have dinner without waiting for you, and then leave one by one, if Chelus comes back and doesn't touch you, it will be more troublesome, why don't we go together, say hello to the store manager before leaving, and if Chelus comes back, let her go to the central square to find us." ”

Zhishi's opinion was unanimously agreed by everyone, and fortunately, the store manager was obviously a kind person, and after knowing the general reason, he also generously asked them to go to their friends with peace of mind, and assured them that the place could help them stay for an hour.

"Uncle is really nice. ”

The four of them walked out of the store, and Sakura sighed in a good mood.

"Alright, let's go to the central square, let's spread out a little bit there, and see if we can wait for the Chelus and the others—"

Rumble!

Before Zhishi's words were finished, suddenly a loud explosion came from the main entrance of the exhibit hall at the other end of the pedestrian street, and Nanoha and the tourists on the street all looked towards the exhibit hall for the first time.

I saw that the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated at the main entrance of the exhibition hall, and suddenly two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared, the big one was holding a wooden frame, although it was not close, but it was vaguely visible that it seemed to be a middle-aged uncle, and running beside the uncle was a young cute girl, and the uncle's face was different, and the girl's face seemed to be a little excited.

"Ahh

"So girl, you definitely misunderstood the definition of the thief's profession! You just used a magic bomb to blow up the window or something in front of others, and my uncle doesn't remember teaching a thief to do this!"

"But there's no way, I've asked that sister, but she won't give us the painting, so that's the only way?"

From the very beginning of asking if someone could take the painting, you lost on the way to being a thief compared to the running line -- no, you lost to the runners who were farther away than the running line!"

"But uncle, it's not good to take the other person's things without telling them!"

"Then let's steal other people's things so clearly, hey!"

"Of course that's right, I've already told that sister that I want this thing in advance, so there's no problem with taking it. I know that I want to take this painting, and if you don't let me take it, that's bullying!"

"So, let's say, we're a group of thieves, not a group of bandits, okay! You, a girl who prefers open robbery to thieves and doesn't realize it at all, why did your brother let you join the group, hey!"

The two of them rushed all the way to this direction at full speed, arguing at a volume that everyone around them could hear as they ran, and there seemed to be something that didn't have a good directionality.

Magic bombs blow up shop windows, do thieves, paint, do you prefer open robberies to thieves?

Just when half of the people on the street were falling into an eerie silence because of what the duo said, a group of students with student council armbands rushed out from the main entrance that had been blown open, and the girl led by a girl with eyes and a rare look of annoyance on her always calm face shouted loudly at the people on the street while chasing after the two people.

In the name of the vice president of the student association, I ask the students present to assist the student union in arresting these two people!"
