We were walked through a hallway on the first floor in a 6 tatami room with enough tables for a few people.
Is it a little too small to say dining room?
It would be like enjoying a chat with one hand for drinks and snacks.
I see a tea set on the shelf that seems to be someone's personal belongings.
Looks like it hasn't been used here lately from the way the dust has been accumulated.
Maybe it was something one of the three people on Nan's note was using.
"It was hot out there, wasn't it? I got the janitor a cold cup of tea."
Sitting and waiting for a while, a guard woman comes back with a tray in one hand.
I'm wearing an inner shirt and half pants and I don't even wear a sword.
"... thank you"
Put a little mouth on the received glass and place it on the table.
Looking next door, Risha was doing the same thing to me.
"Uh..."
The woman in the guard tried to get inside for now, but she didn't know what to do.
Do you want to cut me out of the blue to go to my room?
No, even if the people involved say they can't do that, that's it.
Well, there's time.
If we continue to bring this into long-term warfare and make it awkward, we will eventually have trouble with the topic and come up with suggestions from the other side.
Most importantly, if we don't talk extra, we don't have to wear it out.
Well, assuming she finds out we're unrelated, there's no harm done to her personality or stuck out to her lord.
Nevertheless, it goes a long way from clues.
You can assume that if you get alert, you won't have a second chance.
"Both of you, what's your name?
It's a hard question.
But depending on the reaction here, you might see how close she was to Anna.
"I'm Rose, this is Sasha."
Pecori and Riesha bow gently.
All of a sudden I'm not upset about naming a pseudonym. Riesha's getting used to it, too.
"Oh, my God, I'm Mika. Nice to meet you, Rose, Sasha."
That's what Micah said and held my hand and Reesha's.
Although the skin of the hand is partially thickened, no noticeable scratches can be seen on the arms or shoulders.
Probably no actual experience.
In view of the fact that I work like a guard here, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the perception of a new American soldier.
"Micah was close to your sister?
I took the lead and set it up here so I wouldn't let Micah hear anything unnecessary that I would be thinking about the next question.
I know how you reacted when you heard our name earlier.
The answer is no.
"Um, I don't know. I guess it was enough to see him once in a while and talk to him for a second."
Just as I thought.
If we're close enough to talk inside, we should try to find out if that name doesn't sound familiar.
Micah didn't see any such moves.
I mean, our names don't really matter to her that much.
It would mean he wasn't close enough to be asked his name.
"But I heard a little about the old days. Being in an orphanage or being indebted to Lady Grace for not being able to give it back."
"Yes, sister, because I loved Lady Grace..."
"... ah"
So the conversation is interrupted, and silent time lasts for a while.
In the meantime, we never put our mouth on the tea.
I have a large amount of water droplets on my cold glass and I'm wetting the table.
"Sister, when will you be back..."
I look at the fit around and squeal like that.
Micah wasn't panicking anymore.
Instead, what's on your face is a look of guilt and sadness.
Because I know Anna is missing, and probably won't be able to find her that easily.
and Risha drinks up a glass of tea at once.
Ugh, he exhaled and took a seat.
"Let's not do this anymore,"
"What?"
Suddenly Micah and I meet, and Risha keeps talking.
"I think you can trust me, Mr. Micah. If you talk properly, you'll help us."
……
Take a few seconds to cruise.
Do you really want to do that?
Possible risks circle around your head.
Nevertheless, the only way to do this is to escape later or do what Leesha says when this happens.
Risha smiles softly at me.
It doesn't matter what you intend or rush, do what you think you do...?
That's a lot of courage, really.
"... oh, okay"
That's what I put on the glass. [M]
I can't fool Leesha at times like this.
Sometimes I get better results than I do while crossing dangerous bridges, like the one at Pobacca's.
Do you believe me?
"I'm sorry, Micah. We really have nothing to do with Anna. I'm here for an investigation."
"Ha, huh? Investigation?"
I nod with a serious face at Micah, who makes her eyes black and white. [M]
"Grace M. Geolas, mother of the present lord. And three maids, Teresa, Nina and Anna, who were particularly close to Mr. Grace. We're looking into their disappearance."
"Hey, wait a minute! Anyway, if you're Grace, it's just a rumor."
"So who has seen Mr. Grace in the last month?
"That's... but if you're really missing, make a fuss these days -"
"So where are the closest maids now that would make a fuss if they were on the spot?
"... eh"
Micah frowns at the root of her eyebrows and pushes her downward to silence.
"Of course we're still talking about possibilities. But that's how we got here because it's a possibility that we can't ignore."
"What the hell are you..."
"I'm Rosie, this is my partner Riesha. We are investigating this matter at the request of Sir Hargrave of the King's Capital."
Micah looks up as surprised to hear Hargrave's name.
"This will be a betrayal to the lord, so I'm not asking you to cooperate. However, if you have anything at all to think about the disappearance of Grace M. Geolas and the three maids, please take us to the three rooms where we lived. After that, it's all our responsibility."
