In the first class, Valeera sat in her seat, her chin resting on her hand, and watched the changing scenery outside the window.

Shortly after leaving Tingen, the terrain began to rise and fall slightly.

Most of the time along the way, Valera can always see the Tasok River running in the same direction as the train river.

It's sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes left, sometimes right.

By comparing the sensations of each crossing the bridge, Valera can tell that the closer you get downstream, the wider the Tasok River becomes.

On the way, Valera doesn't always sit in her seat.

Near noon, Harpy, who had been lying quietly at her feet, pulled hard a few times.

Through the "connection", Valeera understood what it wanted, so she took the dog on a leash and led it to the bathroom at the end of the carriage.

She ran into a small trouble on this short journey.

An old gentleman with black-rimmed glasses accidentally knocked over the small table, the newspaper on it was scattered all over the floor, and even half a cup of coffee on the table fell directly onto his lap, contaminating his straight dark trousers.

"Damn it!"

"It's unlucky!"

He cursed angrily as he shook his trousers to prevent burns.

Valeera, who happened to be next to her, had to crouch down sideways and help him pick up the newspaper.

"Thank you, kind girl."

By the time Valila got up, the old gentleman had regained his gentlemanly demeanor, dried his hands with a silk scarf, and took the newspaper into his hand.

"Hmm."

Valera smiled and nodded, and continued on.

She saw the back of a lady in a dark purple dress, who had just come out of the bathroom, so she walked a few quick steps, ahead of the others, and walked in.

……

The last leg of the train before entering Beckland didn't feel good.

Passengers could see from a distance that a thick cloud hung over Beckland.

Then, as the train gradually moved closer to its destination, the bright sky, which had been a little orange, quickly darkened, like a gray filter.

Of course, even so, it is still the most prosperous city on the mainland, and it is a place called "the land of hope".

The poor, the middle class, the wealthy merchants, and the aristocracy can all find what they "want" here.

After exiting the site, Abis walked a short distance down the street and directly into the nearby subway station, heading to her residence in the West End.

Not far behind her, Valera walked in the opposite direction.

……

At half past seven in the evening, Valeera arrives at the "Bar of the Brave".

By this time, she had changed into the neutral outfit she had worn when she assassinated Lady Sharon.

Dark berets, women's blouses and trousers that resemble riders' suits, women's boots, and a custom-made dark blue trench coat with a stand-up collar are placed in an orderly manner, and even the stand-in wand can be placed on the left side of the belt, symmetrical with the folding knife.

This is the most comfortable outfit for her.

God knows how difficult it was for her to hide these items while wearing a long dress.

Especially the stand-in wand and the folding knife!

They had to be brought with them just in case, but they were items that could not see the light, and Valeera had to go to great lengths in the room every time to hide them in the right place under the hem of her skirt.

It was a pretty bad experience.

While still in Tingen, she had already adapted to being a woman and behaved like her, and no longer had to be reminded and expressed of her external gender through her dress.

But, before leaving Crane, she couldn't make such a big change in style.

Pushing open the wooden door of the bar, Valeera didn't go to the bar, but deftly walked through the crowd, knocked on the door and entered the chess and card room where Marić was.

"You're promoted again?!"

Marić was a little stunned, a little unconvinced.

After seeing Valilla nodding in acknowledgement, he added with a little bitterness, "Congratulations, your strength is no worse than mine now." ”

He was actually qualified to be promoted to Sequence 5 "Wraith", but after escaping from the Rose School, he and Sharon had already cut off the source of potion materials.

For him, promotion to Sequence 5 means not only an increase in strength, but also a replacement of the curse.

To put it simply, during the full moon, the "living corpses" who uphold moderation will feel extreme pain, but the "resentful spirits" will only become weak.

The difference between the two is just too great.

It's just that they can't afford to mess with the Rose School, so let alone the hunting characteristics, just find traces of the activities of the members of the Rose School, and they have to try to mislead each other and hide their tracks at the same time.

Valera sat down across from Marić.

After shaking hands and communicating extraordinary will, the two spoke at the same time.

"I have ......"

"I'll give ......"

The two paused, and Marić said, "I'll talk about it first." ”

"I'll introduce you to someone."

As Marić's words fell, a short cold wind suddenly blew in the small chess and card room.

Then, beside Marić, in the seat out of the way of the living corpse players, a young woman with long blond hair and blue eyes appeared.

She wore an intricate black Gothic court dress and a small black soft hat, and her appearance was quite delicate, but her face was unusually pale.

"Sharon, Sequence 5 'Resentful Souls'."

Miss Sharon, who showed her figure, introduced herself briefly in her usual flat tone.

"So you...... Turns out we have a companion! ”

Valeera's face showed just the right amount of surprise, "Marić, you didn't introduce you to me until today. ”

"We need to be careful." It was Sharon who gave the explanation.

Marić also said at this time: "In terms of moderation, you have always performed very well. ”

"After such a long period of observation, Sharon and I have both decided to believe in you and accept you as a true companion."

Valera nodded and said solemnly:

"I will not fail your trust."

With a serious expression, Valeera smiled again, "Now, can I tell me what I found?" ”

"Yes." Sharon nodded.

"I found a particular 'criminal' in Tingen," Valeera said, looking at Marić and then Sharon, "a good 'criminal' who has been promoted for more than a year but has never committed a crime." ”

There was obvious surprise in Marić's and Sharon's eyes, but they didn't ask questions, but waited quietly for Valeera's next words.

The temperance faction's appetite was not interesting, and Valeera did not stop long, and soon spoke again.

"His name is Harold Joestar, and he's a police officer in the city of Tingen."

……

After a while, Valilla recounted Harold's brief experience, and continued:

"I couldn't bear to watch a kind person sink, so I taught him a little rough 'acting' and 'temperance concept', hoping that he could keep himself in the face of criminal desires."

"I'd like to take him over here, do you agree?"
