Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)
146, we're opening an investigation.
I want Cecilie to help me with that, too.
Cecilie spoke with determination.
Cécile, do you need Cecile?
Yeah.
Cecily clenched her fist in front of her chest and continued to do so.
"So is Ralph's bowl... but above all, if everyone is in trouble, Cecilie would like to solve it for you." 'Cause Cecilie's fine. Even though you're really trying your best, Cecilie is the only one who has fun playing with Ralph. ”
…………
Looking into Cecilie's eyes, I measure her determination.
──She is still a small child. Even though I'm still young, I always break my cheeks because of how cute I am.
However, she is actually a solid adult.
As the First Princess, I hope that the people can live a peaceful life, thinking about the end of this country.
That's why Cecily must have been so heartbroken by this situation and made these remarks.
I never felt like it was from a── feeling of half-play.
That's why.
"... I see, Cecilie-chan." Can you help me? "
Yeah!
When I said it, Cecily nodded vigorously.
──If Cecilie is going too, then Ralph should go too. Protecting women is a gentleman's duty. No matter what kind of bad feeling comes, Ralph will protect them both. ”
Ralph made a brave face and told me so.
Is Ralph going too?
Cecilie scratched her neck when she saw the look on her face.
Yes, or is Ralph not enough?
Onee-chan, what is Ralph saying?
"Even if Ralph is around, isn't he useful?" I heard that. "
"No! That's not true!" That's because Ralph is so tough! "
and Cecilie cling to Ralph's body this time.
Ralph wasn't even full. Mufu, breathe through your nose.
What about Elaine?
“No problem. Ralph would be very helpful if you could help me too.”
I shake my head vertically as well.
... it's getting a little busy, but I've got two more good friends.
──I'm not alone.
I was once again keenly aware of it.
We quickly went out into the city and began to listen.
And ──now in the shop where Ralph's bonito is sold.
"So...! That's the bag that the shop is on track to buy!" Then, when I had a hard time, I looked at the bag and I tried my best... but I can't believe it would disappear... "
Is the shopkeeper's uncle frustrated? He's at the desk in front of him! and clap his fists.
But Cecily didn't get scared at all,
"Yeah, I know how you feel. It was hard, wasn't it?"
I was comforting my uncle.
Isn't that right!?
Cecilie was surprisingly good at listening.
My uncle was also talking pleasantly.
"... then, it seems unlikely that you will be careless..."
When I pinched my mouth,
"Of course! It's absolutely impossible not to! I thought it was stolen at first, but I bought it 30 years ago. I don't think it's worth much even if I sell it...."
and uncle twisted his neck.
“Thank you for sharing your story with us.”
Thank you, Uncle!
"No, no, this is cheap." I was able to talk to the saints, and I was feeling a little better! "
That's what my uncle said, turning his arm around.
"Ah, um... this is a different story, but isn't there a place to reopen the store?" Ralph really wanted the bonito here.... "
"Nh... that's, well... I think it's bad." But I didn't feel energetic at all. So I want you to wait a little longer until you find the bag. "
Guguuu
Ralph, who gnashes his teeth with regret.
Ralph is pathetic... but I can't say anything to an uncle who looks so depressed.
"Please take a good rest now." My Ralph is a fenrir who can endure. Hey, Ralph-chan. "
Of course, Ralph is patient.
... but Ralph's tail was drooping.
We must solve the case quickly for Uncle── and Ralph.
Once again, I'll put my temper back into it.
We say goodbye to our uncle and then go outside the store.
Hmm, we didn't find any promising clues here.
"What is it..."
Cecilie, you're soaked.
"But I can't be depressed." Let's go next. Ralph, are you tired? "
Don't lick Fenrir. Compared to Cecilie's special training, this is a bit of a mess. "
Mm-hmm. Ralph breathing through his nose. Reliable.
"Next, we'll go to the boy's house, where he lost his wallet.──"
Oh, my God!
When I tried to walk out.
Such a sword-swallowing voice echoed around.
Is the incident happening...?
Cecilie seemed strange too.
"Looks like it──, I'm sorry." Is something wrong? "
To the man nearby, I ask the question.
"Oh, oh! There was a clock tower in the central square, wasn't there?" It suddenly disappeared! "
Oh, is that true!?
He catches me and makes my voice louder.
"Cecilie-chan, Ralph-chan!" I'm going to Central Square! "
Got it!
Are you in a hurry, Ralph?
That's how Ralph turns his back on me.
"Thank you. Then Cecily-chan will join us..."
"Ralph! Let's go!"
Cecilie was on Ralph's back earlier than I said.
I'll take care of it! Eliane, get in!
Yes!
Take Cecilie in your arms and ride behind her.
Ralph is reasonably big. I need to be careful that Cecily doesn't fall.
Ralph started running, and we hurried to the central square where the clock tower was.
"The clock tower...!"
Central Square.
The clock tower that was so present has now disappeared like a lie.
The people in the square also surrounded the empty part where the clock tower was originally and talked about it thoughtfully.
It's not surprising, but I feel confused by the sudden events.
"Onee-chan! I'm going to ask you. We have to solve the case!"
Well, that's right.
Cecily called out to me in a daze.
I can't... Cecilie-chan is an adult.
Ralph, please rest there.
Um, um......
Ralph lay flat on the ground.
It looks like he took his strength with him because he ran this far while scratching the crowd.
But even in a hurry, it was Ralph who was careful that Cecilie didn't fall.
Let's leave it alone.
I slapped my cheeks and refreshed my temper. Don't beat Cecilie!
I started listening to the people in the square, but everyone's reaction was uniform...
”I don't know... At first, the clock tower looked thin and said,“ What? "When I thought about it, it was already gone... and I didn't know what it was."
That's what it was.
"What the hell is going on..."
The chest racket is getting worse and worse.
But don't stop here. I'll do what I can.
Next, we move to where the clock tower was and look into it. There was plenty of space, and I even felt the illusion that there was no clock tower from the beginning.
Just looking at it doesn't tell me anything.
But ──I finally find a clue there.
"The remnants of magic power...? Could it be that someone turned off the clock tower due to magic or something...?"
"Onee-chan, do you understand that?"
"Yes, but I'm more than that..."
and bothering my head.
Eliane──
I heard a voice.
It's a goddess.
”Now that I'm here, I finally understand. The clock tower── and the man who made your precious things disappear."
"Who the hell is that!?"
Inadvertently speaking up, I imitated the goddess like I was questioning her.
The goddess said with a serious voice.
This is the work of the── [White Snake].
