Lesson 12: Bouquets of Flowers for Thieves * 4

I put Luster on hold because she said, "What is it?" Instead, I decided to sleep in the inn's room with four people side by side, and I made the room sharp with security measures.... it seems that the thief didn't come because the security measures worked. However, I was made a pillow for Mr. Crore. [M] Could it be that Crore is unexpectedly awake!

And then the next morning, Luster went to the Gringo Lord's House without a second thought. I don't have anything else to do.

When Faye spoke to the gatekeeper, they immediately saluted him and guided us. It is said that Faye's letter has already arrived. Faye can be counted on, I suppose.

We'll wait until we get to the reception room-like place. The reception room... was a little messy.

The set of mahogany tables and chairs is stunning, and the paintings and tapestries hanging on the walls are interesting and beautiful. In the corner of the room, there are luxurious porcelain vases on a walnut-like small table, fluffy tinted carpets, elegant pots decorated by windows, and rustic but flavorful iron wall hanging candlesticks. Each one is a very attractive item, but somehow the whole room looks scattered.

It's interesting. Even though Croix's home and the vault in Father's House were decorated with fragmented furniture and furnishings, the reception room of the Gringal Lord Mansion was simply a mess. "I wonder why..."

"Hey, Crore, what kind of Lord Gringo is that?"

"That's right, to summarize it briefly...."

When I asked in a small voice, Crore thought for a moment... and laughed and taught me.

"I don't have any sense."

... I'm burning up.

Eventually, the Gringal lords arrived.

"No, no, welcome! Welcome to the Gringals!" Welcome, Mr. Faye Blood Redgard! "

One of the Gringal lords came into the room, puffing and shaking his little chubby body.... somehow, the ice pink shirt and the moss-coloured trousers look split apart. The hyacinth blue jacket worn over the shirt was luxurious with silver embroidery, but the caramel leather belt didn't fit very well.

Hmm, Chengdu, "I don't have any taste"...

“I've always wanted to deepen my friendship with Red Gard. I would definitely like you to take this opportunity to be close to me."

While saying that, the Gringal lord wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief with a strange pattern of carrot color (without any sense...), and then came over quickly and shook hands with Faye. I saw several rings (no sense...) attached to the hand I was shaking. Cheng Cheng, this person, this kind of person...

"So, what can I do for you today?" No, of course, I don't care if you come to visit me without any help. Speaking of which, my daughter would love to see you. "

Uh, yeah.

Faye interrupts the opponent's story with a little twitch and tells her what she wants to do.

I have a request for Lord Gringal this time.

"Hoho! What do you mean, please?"

If there is any mage treasure that has served this house for generations, I would definitely like to confirm it all.

Faye said that, and the Gringal Lord made a face like this.

"Mage's treasure?"... I'm sure there are a few of those at home... but is Lord Faye interested in such things? I'm sure you'll be interested in some things..... "

"Ah, no, it's not my own interest...

For some reason, Faye uttered a word to stop the Gringo Lord who had begun to wake up...... and said it was hard to say.

"... it is very likely that the things that seal the magic power of the Tickle King are in the mage's treasure, so I would like to inspect them."

"... Kachikachi Fire King"

"Yes, I'm the Kachikachi Fire King!"

Faye said this to the blinking Gringo Lord with such a momentum that it must be definitely opening up again.... I think this naming is very good, but when I say it in such an awe scene, I kind of hate it... I wouldn't hesitate to say that it was Princess Raj.

"This follows the life directly from the Third Princess Rage." Well, here's the princess' autographed letter. Please check it. ”

In addition, Faye takes a fine piece of paper from her pocket and places it on her desk. It seems that Princess Raj wrote something like "I will ask for your help to defeat the Kachikachi King of Arson".

What, is that what's going on? So, when I looked at Faye, Faye sneered at me and finally laughed at me. That means no exhaustion.

"N-no, Cheng Cheng... Yes, of course. If you have a request from the royal family, of course we will cooperate.”

For the time being, his cooperation seems to have been forged, so we are relieved. [M] Here No! 'If I had been told, it would have been Detective Crore's turn. Dangerous. Dangerous.

Then the lord of the Gringals hid his voice and listened.

"So... just for the record, I wonder if Lord Faye has any connection to the royal family when he moves after receiving such a life from the royal family?" For example, there's talk of engagement... "

... well, there was a story about my engagement. There was, but Faye turned it down.

No, that's especially true.

After all, Faye answered with a bitter smile, and the Gringotte lord tilted his neck a bit strangely.

"But why would the Red Gard family do such a mission?"... oh, no, of course I know you're a good person. that you're the kind of person who uses the Red Dragon..... "

Along the way, the Gringo Lord spoke in a hurried praise of Faye.

"Yes, I've heard a lot about the beauty and power of the Red Dragon." I would definitely like to see it. Oh, yeah. That's right. Then, you were definitely no match for the martial arts tournament at the King's City School. I've heard rumors. I hear you won an ancient speech contest. My younger daughter was talking about you all the time..... "

"Ah... that's probably my brother's story, isn't it?"

... I've been complimenting Red Dragon and Mr. Roses for a while, but I don't see any words coming out to praise Faye. I'm a little pissed. Let's do this.

When I was a little angry, Faye somehow scratched the back of her neck with a uncomfortable face, and then said, "I'm sorry, my brother came..." The Gringal lord is sweating cold. We're watching it with awkwardness!

Cheng Jin! This man has no sense!

"Eh, er... I'll show you to my vault." That's right. Let's do it. that you guys are here for something like that.... "

“Thank you. No, it's helpful.”

Faye smiled bitterly at the lord who stood up and said that while making her look a little pale. Faye is an adult, isn't she?

"No, I have a request from the royal family... most of all, I've come all the way from the Red Gard family. Well, of course, I'll help you with this." Um... yeah, yeah. This way. "

We walked away from the reception room as the lord's man leapt and shook his body without hesitation....... this lord is moving at a slow speed for the busyness of his movements, so naturally, our stride is getting narrower. Maybe we're all in the same procession in Calgary...

"Come on. This is the vault." Please, feel free to take a look. Of course, I didn't have to take it out on my own. Ah, no, not that I suspect you guys will do something like that.... "

Well then, thank you for looking.

With a word or two of the Lord's guidance, we enter the vault.

... I knew it, but it was a messy room. It's twitching, but it's messy.

"... mmh?"

Faye used her seal detector to quickly start looking for the sealed jewelry... but apparently there was no response.

Um, so, are you looking for something?

"Well, I'm looking for such a gemstone."

Well, you should ask the owner directly, so Faye explains.

"Gems... ah, ah, well... then, there was one thing like that, but I sold it." Mmm..... "

Maybe it was Crore's 'father'. I already know. That's why you don't have to be so scared...

"Oh, so, what are we going to do with this jewel...?"

"No, well, I'll take care of things." Otherwise, the explosion will burn... hahaha "

Faye explained the gemstone very quickly. Well, I mean, if it weren't for you, you wouldn't be harmed.

... ah, the lord said, "That feels good! You look like ', but the jewel is no longer in' Father ''s place! Anything has been processed!

"Um, were there any similar gems besides the ones you sold?"

“Of course, there won't be two gems that big.”

Well, there are about seven of them.

”Really... hmm, Crosby, I wonder what you did with it.”

At last, Faye started asking for help from Ms. Crore. Then, Crore also worries with me.

"I see... then, I wonder if it's best to go to the place where it was originally..."

That's right. If we stay like this, the clues will finally be cut off. It's possible that the sealed jewel remains in the Mage's man's house without anyone taking it away... I hope it's there.

So for the time being, we decided to leave the Gringal Mansion behind.

The Gringal Lord thought that we were going to slow down a little bit, and he wanted to keep Faye. For some reason, he was trying to get Faye to contact her daughter, but as soon as Faye said, "If there is still that jewel in the realm, there is a possibility that it will explode and cause damage," he stopped returning his palm. Thank you.

"Well, thank you for the noise." If you know anything, it would be helpful if you could have the Red Gard family document you. ”

Absolutely. Of course, I'll help you.

The lord shakes Faye's hand again... and then suddenly makes a face that feels like she remembered.

"And then... Faye-kun"

Ah, yes.

"Since last night, a beautiful blue bird has been coming to my courtyard... and I've got an envelope that says" To Lord Faye Blood Redgard "..."

... Faye and I looked at each other.

A letter brought by a blue bird. I mean... it's a letter from Lian!

Hurry up and say it! And Faye gets a little angry, and we're led to the courtyard.... and there was definitely a centipede coming.

“What's the matter? From Lian?"

As I approached, I snorted and stretched my neck.... you know you want to be stroked, so I stroked you, and I said with satisfaction, and then I offered Faye the envelope that I had been stroking. It seems that it is not an emergency, so it is a little reassuring first.

When Faye opened the envelope... there was an envelope and a letter inside.

If you look at the letter for a moment, it is written in Lian's handwriting.

"Dear Brother Faye, you said you were going to the Gringo lord's house, so I'm flying over there." If you send it to Brother Faye, I don't have to worry about stealing it, but I'm sorry if it doesn't work out. "

... Lian's operation was a great success. Rock Ryan. Tactful. I'm glad that Lian did a good job, read more.

"The enclosed envelope was the one that arrived by mistake around noon on the day the Fay brothers left. It is unusual to have a letter addressed to Crore, so I felt that it should be delivered immediately, so I made him hold it. I'm sorry if I took extra care of you. Now, come home with care. And then to Tougo. I'm looking forward to souvenirs.”

We finish reading the letter and look at the enclosed envelope.

... the envelope is simple, but it seems to have been processed so that the contents are transparent and invisible. Also, the address says "To Croa of Solaire", but there is no name of the sender.

When Faye gave her the envelope in silence, she pinched it...... and opened it mercilessly. There was only one card inside. "Crore looked at it with a grin..."

... looking at the card, Crore shakes his shoulder.

"... that's him."

Looking at the cards, Crore's shoulders were shaking and trembling.... and.

"What should we do?" He came out of his numbness because we weren't going after him! "

It seemed that Crore had finally reached the limit of his patience, and he didn't hesitate to laugh.

It says on the card:

I got your jewelry. If you want it back, you can come to the forest in the northeast of Gringal by yourself. "

... I wonder if I should go. I feel like I don't have to go.

I'm sure it would be interesting to leave her alone.

All right. After we leave the Gringal Mansion and take the lodge, we'll have a meeting about the cards that arrived to Mr. Crore.

But Faye laughed in pieces because of whether the meeting was going to be held or not, and because Ms. Crore stroked Leanne's cheeks while saying such a thing. Silence, silence!

"Because I don't have any pain." It doesn't matter if the glass balls are stolen, but I've checked with Torgo-kun and Laocles. "

Yeah. I nodded, as did Laocres.

If the gemstone big guy with magic power is stolen, that's fine, but this time, what was stolen is just a glass ball, so...

"... so, honestly, there's no reason to go."

"Well, that's right." I don't need to bother to meet someone who mistakes a jewel for a glass ball... no, I don't care if I take a look at it...... kukuku, fu, hehe...... "

Faye really liked this story and laughed again on the way. Be quiet!

It's just a gringo forest, isn't it?

Crore's face looked a bit troubled, and he flinched and shook his card, making her look a little uncomfortable.

The house of the mage who served Lord Gringal is in the forest northeast of Gringal.

... wow.

"It's hard to believe that he aimed at this." But because you're not aiming at it, it's possible that you'll break the clues to the corners without even knowing it. "

We looked at each other's faces... and Crore sighed deeply.

"...... it's no trouble"

... yes.

It's so troublesome...
