When I return from the college, I will talk to my maid Chloe about the information I have drawn from the Dean of the college and will also showcase future operations.

"- That means the likes look for bad teachers who are in school. Fiona and the others will be looking for Ritten's parents in the capital."

"Don't be."

"That might be a good idea. When you are looking for a bad teacher in school, considering that the enemy may feel you and Master Fiona in danger"

"Right. Either way, we need to find Ritten's parents."

"Right. What a baby needs is a parent's affection. The Chloes can replace it, but they can't make it up to you completely."

"Exactly. Anyway, our immediate goal is to find Ritten's parents and return them as soon as possible. Find a college teacher who is repeating that and trafficking in human beings, and add Heaven. Two things."

"That's easy to understand."

"It's a simple izz vest."

"Do you have an operation, by the way?

"I do."

And to put it bluntly.

"That's just the way it is. I admire your thoughtfulness."

Chloe bows her head in a peck. I see her white prime well.

"What kind of operation is it?

"Instead of looking for bad teachers, I decided to start by hitting the wholesale destination (grated) of bad teachers' merchandise"

"Say?

"Bad teachers are investigated by Kareenin, the dean of the college, and it's hard to find them after doing the research. I don't think I'm going to make any progress with my investigation here."

"It makes sense."

"Then change your mind. Kidnappers kidnap babies and sell them as merchandise. Then there must always be a buyer. Get close to the buyer first and pull the information out of it."

"I see, if you were to shoot the general, you'd start with the horse."

That's the way it is, she admires it, but she mouths simple questions.

"But how do you find a buyer? I don't think it's going to be easy to get the tail out."

"Well, of course you will. So I myself, impersonating the Dark Alchemist, infiltrate their community."

"You're the one called undercover. Exactly. But isn't it difficult?

"What makes you think that?

"Master Ogi has a bad face, but he's not a mad alchemist. Normally they infiltrate, they see us through."

"Right."

"Again, those dark magicians have a unique aura. There's an aura of evil that doesn't even think of a person's life as life. The dark magic that tramples upon the dignity of life. Dark fallen magicians have them. But there are no such things as"

"Unfortunately, should I say, thank you,"

"I think you can thank me. I want you to stay the same forever."

"Are you sure you want a lazy, unmotivated pay thief?

I joke and say.

"He's a troubled, gentle sage who lives a long time ago."

"- Let's remember. At least I won't fall in the dark while Fiona's well."

So when I punctuated the words, I explained them to Chloe.

It's impossible to fall into darkness and become an evil sorcerer, but we have the means to infiltrate the mad alchemy community.

Tell her the secret.

Because it took her cooperation to implement the secret.

"A mad alchemist is a terrible thing to do, but his ultimate goal is the same as a legitimate magician."

"What do you mean?

"I'm just asking for the three great sorrows of a wise man, like a normal sorcerer."

"I mean, it's a terrible thing to do, but the way to go is to be with the others."

"Exactly."

I assure you, I told you about my sage dreams.

One thing is to get an immortal body.

Two, generating the stone of the wise.

Mitsu, creating life from scratch.

When I say that, Chloe says.

"Okay! Master Okja has accomplished some of them. You're going to use those research results as bait to get closer to them."

"Your answer. Which do you think you're going to feed on, by the way?

I'll ask the opposite question.

"Right."

When Chloe gives a serious look, she hands on her ceramic jaw and begins to think.

"If it's your personality, first of all, don't let others bother you. Is it data on immortality?

"Incorrect. That's what I thought at first, but I haven't achieved immortality. Even if you're immortal, you're not immortal. And a magician who has attained immortality is all over the world."

"You sure are. Being like a rugger is not special or unusual. Besides, Mitsuji is faking his identity. It's not a good idea to get close to him by revealing his identity. It can also lead to the danger of Master Fiona."

And, Chloe adds,

"Then the third one will automatically disappear."

And, Chloe infers.

"I don't think Ruji-sama would sidestream Fiona-sama's data. The data of Homunculus creation will be hidden for life."

"If you can fully reproduce Homncrus and discover that the results of that research will not be misused by the world, you can publish them."

Or even if I knew it would be abused, if Fiona's Antai could be measured by publishing its research results, I might hang it on the balance, but not now.

In the first place, I succeeded in creating Homunculus, but I haven't figured out how to make it at all.

Coincidentally, it was Fiona who was born with overlapping miraculous events.

Since then I have sought its reproduction and have repeated the same situation over and over, but with no signs of life birth.

Hence immortality and homunculus are hard to use for this card.

"Then you don't have a card here."

Chloe twists her neck.

"Not really, man."

And, deny it.

"Chloe's out there, and when it comes to herself, she'll be indifferent."

"What do you mean?

"Chloe doesn't realize what's in her chest is precious"

"Is that Chloe's chest?

She puts her hands on her own chest when she says so.

Say something bare with a strange look on your face.

"It's a lot smaller because of her sexuality."

"It's not my sexuality. It's a puppeteer's hobby. What's valuable, by the way, is what's behind its chest."

"Behind my chest......, ah!

Chloe seems to have finally realized her worth.

"Chloe's chest is powered by the Sage's Stone."

"Exactly. Besides, the sage's stone broom is a special order I formulated. Anyway, it's just a machine doll who's willing and emotional."

"Indeed, this method of making sage stones will be something magicians from all over the world will want to know. And a special circuit like that on Chloe's chest."

"Right. So, I'm sorry, but why don't you pull out that sage's stone and pull the circuit off? I want to be a negotiating material."

Chloe responds to my outrageous suggestion.

"I don't mind."

I wasn't surprised by that response. Chloe is a mechanical doll.

Absolutely obey my orders, the Lord.

Obey any unscrupulous demands.

I made sure of that again, and I said to myself in a mockery.

"- It's a joke. I just need Chloe to help me infiltrate. Well, it's just unusual to call it a machine doll with intentions and emotions. With Chloe, the enemy will be interested. It's just that it's the dark fallen sorcerer who makes contact. I want you to be aware that there is a danger that"

Chloe smiles when I say so.

"I got it. But still, it's 10,000 times more than using Fiona as a trading material."

That's what Chloe said, and this is the last question she's asked.

"By the way, sir, are we going to do that undercover thing?

"No, there are a couple of mad alchemists with eye-catchers, but I've only done a little digging. It's the fastest way to infiltrate. Tomorrow."

"Really, that helped"

How did you help me? When I asked, Chloe said this with a gentle smile.

"Fiona, who had been listening hard in the capital, will be back soon. I've been simmering beef broth since this morning. Chloe prides herself on one dish. Thank you for walking around all day to warm your tired body, Master Fiona."

"Right, I'm sure Fiona would love that, too"

When that closed, we both waited for Fiona to come home.
