Lesson 9: Bouquets of Flowers for Thieves * 1

I asked for a meal at the inn's room service in the morning, and I talked about last night. [M] In other words, if you draw moss balls and floating spheres, they will come out, and if you put them away, the floating sphere will disappear for some reason.

... then, both Lao Cres and Crore had a nervous expression all at once.

"That's... hey, Togo-kun." Any other changes? What about your own injuries? "

"Well, I don't think so..."

When Crore replied in a slightly confused manner, he was still worried and circled around me to check if there were any injuries. What the hell?

Laocles, meanwhile, stood up in silence and walked into my room, and came back a little.

It looks like nothing else was stolen, but I think we should check again.

"... was it stolen?"

"I was told something noisy, so I thought it over..."

"... did someone steal the floating ball...?"

I've come up with a terrible possibility. In other words, it's possible that a thief entered my room while I was sleeping...

"Well, I guess so..."

"I can't deny the possibility that you've slept and forgotten something..."

... it looks like I've been in quite a crisis. I was awake while I slept, so I didn't feel nervous!

Then, by the time the room service breakfast arrived, I checked my room again to see if there was anything else stolen or more. If anything, Lao Cres checked to see if I was injured or not.... no, because Crore was about to check, I was embarrassed by the boulders, but Lao Cres took over for me, so... Oh, good.

... well, as a result of those meticulous checks, no problem. Nothing in particular has been stolen or increased. I'm also extremely healthy. [M]

However, Crore hadn't installed the detection magic inside the bag? 'So I became anxious, and I checked that... I saw a small pattern drawn inside the paper bag, at a position where it was not visible because it was a paper fold.

"Wow, there really is..."

That's right. It's a habit.

I'll lend you a hand and ask Crore to give me a place to check the pattern that was added to the paper bag.

"... ahhh, well, I was expecting it."

Then Ms. Crore sighed deeply and said.

"Luster."

"...... Luster?"

"Look, the blonde I saw on the stairs yesterday, that's him."

Crore, who seemed to dislike it, sighed deeply again.

"... that person?"

"Yes, I remember how to draw this pattern." He also used the ink from the magic stone. Absolutely, it's like telling me who stole it... but in fact, it might be so bad. "

Crore, who had a bitter expression on her face, and Laocres, who was looking out of the window, looked at her face.

"I think it's hard to dive into this inn." First of all, is it possible that neither I nor you are aware of it? "

It seems that Laocles is conscious of the security system of this inn. Well, that's right. This inn is a magical place where "there are many rooms in one room for some reason", so the windows are a bit strange. It felt quite difficult to break in through a window like that.

“Yeah, I'm sure it's hard. I don't want to do it. I don't think the others can make it any easier. No matter how good a guy is, there's a risk.... but it's not that I can't do it, and I'm pretty sure the guy who did it came here."

Ms. Crore said that and gave her an unusually sinister look.

"...... At first glance, he's fine with just his mud arm." Maybe it's even better than before. That's why even such a guy can be with his father, but... oh, he's already failed. I wonder what I'm really doing... "

I see. Mr. Crore also said that. Either the person at that place yesterday is the same kind of detective as Crore, or you're good at it and you're there.

Does that mean that the blonde is a good man?... although I wouldn't say so. Because Mr. Crore looks very regretful.

"If I did it badly, it would have harmed the cane."... I'm pathetic. "

"I see... we should have slept together. I was out of my mind."

... somehow, I imagined sleeping in the river with Laocles and Crore sandwiched between my sides, and it was a little funny. Such a thing might be surprisingly fun.

It's okay. Um, I was asleep completely unnoticed, but when I woke up in the morning, the Phoenix, the Tube Fox, and the Wind Spirit came out of the jewelry and dived into my bed.

”... you mean you came out in view of my husband's danger?”

"Probably. That's why I'm fine....... well, it was a tickle to get out of bed."

When I was talking like that, I thought I was being called. Phoenix, tube fox, and wind essence came out and stuck to me. And then they stretched their chests against Laocles, a little boastful. Well, that's amazing! It's called 'Kanzi'.

"... Sheng Jing. I may have seen the summoning beast and withdrawn without harming Tougo." Well then... well done, you guys. "

Then Laocles stroked everyone in turn. All these people like to be stroked, so Laocres strokes me and narrows his eyes to feel good. That's good.

Absolutely, I can't afford to lose, either.

Lao Cres said that with a bitter face, okay, and recharged... a slightly discouraged, headache-like face.

"... so why did he steal the floating sphere?"

... yeah. That's right. I'm also curious. [M]

Why did you bother to steal the floating sphere? "Oh, it's just a big glass ball..."

"Oh, it's easy."

Then Ms. Crore answered without any trouble.

"You must have mistaken it for a sealed jewel."

... hn?

I was wondering...... Crore smiled bitterly and showed the moss and dandelion balls. It's totally like a potted plant.

"... I bet you didn't think the ball with its dick growing and its magic power diminishing was the jewel of the example." Well, then, I don't even know what he's got to say for it. "

... the journey.

"It seems that I was right to dump the sealed jewels inside last night..."

"Is there such a stupid thief?"

“I'm here, yeah. You're surprised, aren't you?"

Um, can't Luster be an eye-catcher?

"I can't." That's why he's just mud. "

Mr. Crore is spicy. It's always more spicy. I guess there's something you're thinking about, but let's just leave it alone. Maybe there was a lot going on. I think something happened to 'Karen' instead of 'Crore'.

"Also, I'm curious... how much glass balls that you put out in your sleep turned into glass balls, right?"

Ms. Crore sighs as she folds her arms a bit.

... yes.

"Hey, Togo-kun. I wonder how much magic you put into this big glass ball last night." Tea cans? Candy jars? Or... there's no such thing as a guy who's about to go to war, is there? "

Mr. Crore tells me to think. Think about it, remember... hmmm.

"I don't remember..."

... even though it would have been much better if the sealed jewels had been stolen. But this is a big deal.

"Perhaps I've stolen some gems..."

"... well, if I hadn't meant to materialize it, but it did, I wouldn't have that much magic power."

"Yes, and honestly, I'm not that worried."

When I was worried, LaoCles and Crore said something like that. Oh, don't worry about it.

Because Togo-kun sealed his magic power with a seal in every room.

"... hehe?"

... a seal?

"I'm not wearing it..."

"Oh, I'm wearing it. Here."

I wondered what it was about, and Mr. Crore pointed to the corner of my room. There is a beautiful ornament there. Someone I know. [M] This is the one that was on the edge of the shelf where the moss balls and dandelion balls were decorated last night.

... eh, this is the seal. I thought it was the furniture or decoration of the inn, but apparently it was made by Crore.

"I'm sorry. While you were taking a bath, I made a bit of a mistake." 'Cause if I didn't, I wouldn't be scared to let you sleep in another room. There is a lot of magic power in Tsugogo, and it smells good, so if you have a slightly sharp nose, you can follow it. "

... [Smells good] is a metaphorical expression, isn't it? If I stink, I'm really curious!

"That's why you didn't have much magic in your room last night." I don't know if it was because of the seal that I realized something that I didn't intend to materialize. "

Did that happen? Progression…….

"Therefore, it is highly likely that the glass balls that you put out are very large, just glass balls." then..... "

Crore gave a sunny smile.

Honestly, I think it's okay to leave it like this.

Thin blue-green, large glass balls that look like floating spheres. Although there is a distortion that looks like glass, it failed and became a firmly packed ball. Human head size. I guess there was almost no magic power around it.

... I don't think it would do any harm to leave him alone!

"In any case, this is a message that you want me to follow." I know I'm here, but I can't think of any other way to use the magic of detection in such a mess. "

Ms. Crore said that and gave her a disgusting look.... I guess something really happened.

"That's why we should stop chasing them." Left alone, there's only one stupid thief with a big glass ball. "

I agree with the pleasant suggestion, not one, not two. Lao Cres is also shaking his shoulders and laughing a little, so he will agree.

"I think that's fine with me." To be honest, I accidentally materialized a lump of glass and was having trouble disposing of it..... "

Oh, that's just great.

Yeah.

Thief... um, I'm sorry for Luster, but thank you very much for collecting the scrap.

"... what about the moss balls?"

"I wonder if it should be decorated in my house." Ah, but there's not much room. um..... "

"Then I'll take it." I'll decorate my house. "

"... do you like it?"

"... I like it"

Oh, I see. Well, I'm glad the moss balls decided where to go too. Worst case scenario, glass nuggets can be melted and replaced, but the moss is a living thing, it's like a piece of the forest, and I couldn't bear to throw it away. Good job!

"Okay. If so, shall we have dinner?" Once you're fully hungry... let's take a relaxing tour of the King's City and then go home. Ah, I'll have that paper bag disposed of at this inn. "

Yeah!

Now we're leaving my room, following Ms. Crore, who's just starting to figure it out. Just as the room service wagon was about to be brought in, the bell went off, and we were happy to receive the wagon.

Breakfast is served with bread, butter, scrambled eggs, boiled sausages, salads, fruit juices, and kanji. I get hungry because of the good smell.

So we decided to have breakfast for the time being. The melted buttery egg tasted somewhat peaceful in the morning.
