This, what's going on.

Hiding in the shadows, Claire didn't even dare to blink her eyes, and kept an eye on Lilith without moving.

From her sudden grab of Arya's collar, to Arya's complaining eyes, to Arya's appearance of a resentful woman, to the end when Arya runs away, Lilith waves at her back.

It seems that Lilith must have let Arya go. It's the one who always said he wanted to catch, but now it's ......

Now it seems that if only the mystery of the mezzanine hadn't been solved before, at least, there would be no need to see this scene happen.

"Okay, now Arya is also sent away, Detective Claire, can you stop hiding in the grass?"

Lilith turned around suddenly, and it seemed that she had already discovered herself and Watson being snooping here.

"I'm really surprised to say that, I thought you should be like the other two detectives, stupidly chasing a fake 'Arya'. ”

"We've just found clues. ”

Put your doubts to the table for a while, and in any case, now is the time to report the results of the investigation to your employer. It's just that Claire found that Lilith seemed to be consciously or unconsciously telling herself not to ask more about what had just happened.

Do you want to get out of the way? but...... What she said before can be regarded as treason in public.

"We found a secret door in Arya's house, and when we unlocked it, we found the weapons of Arya's men, the woman with the spear. There is only one possibility for Aleia to abandon carrying this conspicuous weapon when escaping, and that is that Arya's men have pretended to be Alea to distract us, and the real Alea remains in the Empire, waiting for us to give up this commission. ”

"Mm-hmm, it looks like you're more famous than those two detectives. It's even more potential. ”

Lilith nodded, but then smiled triumphantly, "But what about the results? I'm still victorious, and I'm waiting for Arya here. It's me. ”

"No, you haven't won yet, the original agreement was that whoever catches Arya first will be the winner. But you just didn't catch her, you let her run, so, we still have ......"

"That's the flow game. Claire. ”

As expected, Lilith stood in front of her and Watson with a smile that annoyed Claire, "Then there will be no winner in this game." Don't worry, I'll pay you for it, but if you still insist on chasing it...... Speaking of which, I'm a little interested in what you call 'real' magic. ”

"You don't want to be paid. ”

As if recognizing the employer in front of her for the first time, Claire clenched her fists angrily, and Lilith didn't do anything. I haven't been asked for any commissions on my side, so don't say anything "real" magic, I just can't even say the most basic declaration.

Not to mention confronting this eccentric witch.

This guy is already a witch. Why did she suddenly become so annoying, obviously in the previous encounters, Lilith was not like this at all.

"Lilith, why did you let Arya go. ”

"Because she is not convinced, when she already feels that it is impossible to beat me again, even if I drive her away, she will stay. ”

"You...... You're releasing the Empire's wanted criminals for your own sake!" Claire said, "It's definitely your own actions. Have you ever thought about what happened after this!?"

"Well, I thought about it. Lilith spread her hands. "So what?"

“......”

Watson, who was beside him, stopped Claire with his hand, and there was a split second exchange. It had already made Claire understand what Watson meant's eyes meant.

Stabilize the other party first, and then go to the relevant place to report the matter, no matter how powerful Lilith is, she can't deal with a country.

"If you want to run, hurry up, I don't have the strength to chase you. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Claire suddenly noticed a strange look floating in Lilith's eyes.

"But two detectives, you're planning to go to Dorana to denounce you, but have you really thought about it? Who will Dorana trust me, you, or will you trust an unknown detective, or will you trust a friend who has known each other for a long time and helped them fight off the orc army?"

"You demon. ”

Inadvertently, Claire's mouth popped out of Arya's words. Because Lilith standing here now, no matter who looks at it, it will feel very similar.

With a smile on his face, he said a temptation that people couldn't refuse, or a threat that they had to obey.

"No, it's a witch. Speaking of which, if I insist that you are framing me, maybe the reputation of the two of you will definitely get worse. Or do you think it's an opportunity for others to remember you?"

I can't report her, no, I should say that I don't have a chance to report her.

Even if you wear out your mouth, it won't be useful, and it's already obvious who the paladins will believe. I don't have the courage to exchange my own qiē for a meaningless defeat.

"You'd better forget about today, I didn't show up here, and you didn't wait for Arya. That's the best way to go. ”

Lilith explained, "You should think of me as quibbling, and to be honest, if I tame Arya, this enemy of the empire will collapse invisibly, at least, she will no longer have the courage to take revenge." ”

“...... Watson, let's go. ”

Ignoring Lilith's arguments, Claire took Watson's hand and hurried away.

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll fall into a new trap unconsciously.

Behind her, Lilith was still saying "goodbye" and waving her hand as before, but Claire wasn't going to respond.

"Claire ......"

"I know...... It's good to rot in the stomach. ”

Claire replied to Watson helplessly, and then fell into a long silence.

The relationship between Arya and Lilith, Claire has also investigated a little, and they have only known each other for a short time, and they are very ordinary friends.

So, what was the reason for Lilith to do such a thing and let Arya go, because she was a friend, or because she was smart, or for some other reason?

But no matter what, no matter how curious you are, you can't investigate this lightly, and you always feel that the focus of the path you are thinking about is waiting for you to be punished mercilessly by the witch.

I can't do it anymore with this chaotic witch. (To be continued)
