The plain and unnoticed me is no more
176, rescue operation initiated!
Returning to the Mansion, we got off the carriage and searched for the fairy immediately.
But our front yard has a simple design with only grass and low hedges. Because of that, I don't know if I like fairies. I can't find them anywhere.
So we went to the backyard where the flowers were blooming. Many fairies fly around flowering trees and flower beds.
Not only the balls of light, but also the fairies of small animals flew. I remember seeing them at the inn.
"Ah, there he was. Gather around, fairy!"
"Owner, how are you going to talk without Levi?
They can't be like Leviant, but we understand our words. When I gave the signal, a small ball of light gathered straw from the shadow of the flowers, headed by an animal fairy.
"Sin, we have people we can count on. Weiss, please."
When I called, a small lion appeared in front of me.
(I understand. Should I ask you to find the girl who was taken by mistake from Lana?
"Yes, three girls with similar hair colors and outfits. Maybe there's more of them, but can we just look for that kind of ambiguous information?
(Yes, I'll split up with them here and ask the fairies in the city to search. We'll let you know as soon as we find it, so please wait)
Weiss answered hastily.
"That's pretty easy for you to say. It's like they're going to find us soon."
(Fairies do not approach places where there is a lot of black fog. So if you search the area, you'll find it soon.)
"But not necessarily the killer is with the victim. Maybe they're trapped somewhere else. Besides, you're not the only one searching King's Landing.
(In all of Japan... Then, let's ask him for help.)
When Weiss finished explaining my request to the gathered fairies, he quickly disappeared. And the balls of fairy light flew away in every direction, like fireworks on water.
"Hey, a fairy just flew away with so much momentum, did you take it on?
"Yes, I was told to wait a while. But who does that mean...?
"That guy?
He's asking someone to help him.
Levi? You're not a goddess, are you? "
Fairy King Leviant soon returned to the fairy world after purifying his darkened brother. He hasn't seen us since.
I spent a few months together somehow, and when my feelings shifted and I cried at the time of separation, it was light over there.
"The search is extensive, and I think I'm going to send a fairy from the fairy world... Then we'll go and help you as soon as we find him."
"Yes, we should be ready to leave at any time. I have to find oniisama's clothes in the costume room right away."
"Hmm? We've brought enough personal clothes? It generally doesn't fit me either....."
"Fufu, I'll wear it. When I get back to the inn, I have some clothes I made myself, but anything is fine as long as it's easy to move."
Me and Singh each went back to their rooms, changed into their room clothes, and gathered in the living room. Then Chiyo and Taki, who were waiting for us to return, greeted us with joy.
"Ah! Welcome back, Lana! Well done, Singh!
"Niisan, Lana, welcome back. How was the party?
"Something unexpected happened, but I'm sure my rumors will spread soon. I don't think this is going to get a new girl."
"I see... I hope you find the girls soon. If you find that kidnapping is useless, your mouth may be sealed....."
We were relieved by Taki's words. Taki murmured the word "mouth seal," but implied the possibility of being killed without being returned home.
Here I lowered the maids who were about to serve tea. I'm going to keep it a secret.
I'd like to gather in my room and talk with ease, if possible. But it is impossible to let a man in as long as he is in this mansion.
"Taki's right, the kidnappers won't let go of the woman they took at risk of getting caught. So we're going to rescue him without waiting for the case to be solved."
"I'm in favor of going to help... where? It's hard to find them alone."
Taki looked at me confused. I am complaining with my eyes whether there is any solution.
"I gathered the fairies in our garden and asked them to search for the girls who had been seized. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"To fairies? Is that possible?
"When the owner was grabbed, it was the fairy who helped me in trouble. Weiss is there, and I'm sure he'll find us."
"... yeah, okay. I want to get back to my daily routine, and I'll do whatever I can."
Phew, I couldn't hear my usual vigorous voice, and when I saw Chiyo sitting next to me, I felt like I couldn't get into the conversation, and Chiyo had a slightly dark expression.
I'm not going to leave you alone, but I'm going to have to get rid of Chiyo when I take these dangerous actions.
The person understands that, and it is a prank not to bother with our conversation.
"So, Chiyo. Come with me to the costume room."
"Huh? In the costume room?
"Oniisama, I need you to help me find clothes that I can wear from my ancient days. Don't tell the maids."
When he whispered that in his ear, Chiyo replied satisfactorily, being given a role that Shin and Taki could not play.
Yes!
"Fufu, can you think of a way for Sin and Taki to get out of the Mansion without my family noticing?
"Roger, Taki, let's move to my room. I don't know who's coming here."
"That's right. Okay, Lana, Chiyo. I'll see you later."
Once we broke up with Singh and the others, Chiyo and I sneaked into the costume room.
Then you two find oniisama's childhood clothes.
I can probably wear it in my early teens. In my home, where all my daughters live, nobody wears oniisama's clothes that have grown smaller, so I'm going to take them home if I like them.
I can't wear it normally, but I make it up and use it as a cosplay costume.
"Wow, this is all you need to open the clothes store!
"It would be a waste just to keep it. It would be good money to sell to a vintage clothing store...."
"Kufufu... Lana, that's not what the Duchess lady said.
Chiyo smiled at me with a smile that was perfectly permeated with ordinary people's senses.
When the truth came out, I made a mistake by coughing up and proceeded to the back of the costume room.
I was so nervous at Maria's party that I exposed myself in front of Chiyo, who was in the mood.
However, if you sell all the clothes here, it will be as easy as repairing the hotel room and replacing the futon... and so on.
"Can Chiyo look at you?
"Okay."
It is called a costume room, but the room that holds clothes no longer worn by anyone is a small warehouse.
Even if it is stored by gender and age, it is not displayed on the shelf, so it is difficult to find what you are looking for.
It would be easier to find if there was at least a name tag on who was wearing it.
"Lana, how about this?
Chiyo found a set of tunics and pants somewhere. I think oniisama's training attire was made when he became a knight apprentice, but nothing was damaged.
"Where was it?
"This way. They come in small sizes that are in good condition."
Towards Chiyo, oniisama's clothes, which I recognize, were hanging from small objects in order.
However, it has suddenly grown in size from the middle. This is because of the sudden increase in height during puberty.
It was just before I could wear it. Is it worn only a few times? It looks almost brand new.
"Let's take some beautiful things around here. You should have a cloak, too. I'm sure these clothes have belts... but where are the accessories?
"Lana, look at this!
Chiyo finds the belt that was wrapped in the box and hoists it around the box. I took the belt out of there and folded the clothes of my choice and wrapped it in a cloak.
And he took the hunting and the casket out of the hat lined up on the shelf, and gave it to Chiyo to carry it out of the costume room.
"Well, ladies, how can I help you in the costume room? I'm sorry, I missed my seat."
"Yeah, but I'm done. I'll get you something to wear."
Don't dare tell me whose clothes they are, laugh nicely and deceive them.
"I understand."
The maid's eyes were directed at the package I was holding, but I was able to pass the scene without being particularly suspicious. Chiyo and I hurry to my room to try on the clothes we brought out.
The knight apprenticeship attire is the same shape as the one worn by the boys who are taking part in the search throughout the city. So if anyone sees you, they'll think you're one of the search parties.
The problem is with shoes, but fortunately there are plenty of my own boots here, so I put my pants in with the black long boots for horseback riding.
Dark blue sleeveless tunic on the top. I wore a white blouse with no ornaments in it. Grey trousers are slightly bigger, but if you pack the waist a little, it will be fine.
And lastly, wrap the belt around the waist of the tunic. Tie long hair together and hide it in the tunic.
"I don't think the size is a problem. How does it look?
"Hmm... no good."
"No? But I don't have any makeup tools here, so I can't make up like a boy."
I thought it meant I couldn't stay spinning, but Chiyo's gaze was pouring on my chest.
Even though he's a boy, he's got a chest.
"Ugh... I'll change later, and then I'll wrap up the cloth and crush it. You'll be able to wear a cloak and deceive me. Now, just wait for Weiss to come back."
And as the sun was tilting, Weiss came back. We'll all go out to the yard, listen to the report, and move on with the operation that Singh and Taki have been thinking about.
First, after dinner with the family as usual, we occupied the kitchen saying we wanted to think about a new menu and banned them from entering until morning.
That's why Chiyo will be working in the kitchen until we get back.
Fortunately, there are quite a few seasonings here from the Japanese country. My grandfather, who ate my food, is the remnant of an attempt to recreate the flavor to the mansion's cooks.
"Chiyo, you might be delicate in such a large kitchen by yourself, but I'm waiting for you to cook something. They say you can use whatever you have here."
After changing into oniisama's clothes in the shade of the kitchen, I put my hand to the door.
"Leave it to me. I'm waiting for you to make a delicious evening meal."
Asked Chiyo to leave a message and went outside through the door where the servants came in and out, and there were two voices there.
