"Wine vinegar will be shipped from this winery when the time comes."

Nao Nishida looked at the building not far away and fell into deep thought.

"The wine vinegar should be transported directly to the Viscount's residence. On the way, the barrels may need to be opened to test the wine. So we have very little time to do anything. I'm afraid it can only be done on the day of the carnival. Anyway,

In any case, we need to sneak into the viscount's house. Then we can have a chance to replace the wine."

"Do you mean to sneak into the Viscount's house in advance?" Erina was very worried about this: "It's impossible. I feel that I will definitely be discovered..."

"I didn't say infiltrating in advance. We just need to hide the gifts in the barrel after loading them into the car and before setting off." Nao suggested: "For this reason, it is still necessary to sneak into the mansion that night. And try our best to do it."

It’s important to know the specific time of its departure.”

"Is it really possible to find out about this kind of thing?" Erina hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Is it too difficult to sneak into the mansion?"

"We don't necessarily have to infiltrate. If we can get other information, such as the specific time of the parade and the location of the carriage containing the gifts, then we can take advantage of the Viscount to pour wine during the parade. That's it.

It’s safer, right, Erina-chan?”

“...Indeed. The Viscount will participate in the float parade and must deliver a speech...which means that he will not be able to escape until the project reaches a certain level."

Erina agreed, and after a pause, she continued.

"And these two carriages shouldn't follow the float, right? Instead, they will wait at the destination where the float is going to arrive, or at least at one of its destinations. The coachman shouldn't be too alert. Let's do something.

The possibility of success has been greatly increased... Let’s do this as a prerequisite to search for useful information in the past two days, right?”

 Nao also agreed with this.

 Therefore, the next course of action of the two people was finalized.

At the same time, in a distant kingdom...

A white-haired girl wearing silver half-plate armor, a short skirt and steel boots, with a long sword on her waist, was looking at the wanted notice and frowning.

The wanted person above is Makiko Kodera who is staying at her house.

 “Ah, Yulia...”

 The voice of Makiko Kodera came from not far away.

This shocked her, and she quickly turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

Makiko Kodera was looking behind a wall.

Although he covered his face with a hooded cloak that was very popular among travelers, the cloak was pulled too close to prevent it from affecting his vision, so he could still clearly see who the wearer was.

"Why did you come out?" Yulia looked around and found that no one was paying attention. She quickly ran to Xiaoji and asked reproachfully: "Didn't I tell you to wait at home? It's very dangerous outside!"

“Ah, I’m sorry.” Makiko Kodera looked around nervously, then approached Yulia: “Actually, I came to say goodbye to you. I can’t stay at your house any longer.”

 “Are you worried that I will betray you?”

"No, it's not... It's just that if this goes on, you might get hurt. I saw the wanted notice, and it's the King of France who wants me directly. Miss Yulia, are you a temple knight? It's an extra level of crime to harbor a wanted criminal...

That, that is to say, you might also be killed..."

"...You don't need to remind me, I know it well." Yulia pressed Kodera's hood down again, and nervously reminded: "Don't raise your head, and don't act conspicuous. I'll take it with you now.

You go home...remember to hide yourself and don't come out again. I'm going to inquire about the situation and find out why you are wanted."

 “Hey? But that would be too much trouble for you! How could I trouble you so much...”

"I took the initiative to help you. What about being involved or not? You said you didn't do anything wrong, right? Then why did the Dharma King suddenly offer you a reward? Don't you think it's strange? Of course I have to try to find out what happened.

!”

"But, but, this... isn't it written above that the Lord Divine Witch came back to the world and directly issued an order to the King of France to arrest me? This is not a sufficient reason for you temple knights..."

“Then I can just take you away?”

"No, no! Don't! I just said, it's better not to have anything to do with me! Although I don't know why the witch ordered to arrest me, isn't her order supreme to Jiuyuan Township? Helped

Once my affairs are known to others, it will be equivalent to becoming an enemy of everyone..."

"So, why don't you let them know? After all, I feel strange because it says this is the order of the wizard! Let's talk about it, is this true? It's really weird.

?First of all, there is no evidence that the Lord Divine Witch has come here again. Secondly, this is not at all like a request that a compassionate Lord Divine Witch would make!"

 “This... is true. But...”

"What are you still hesitating about? Just come home with me! Listen, don't run out without permission again! Let me handle this matter. I'm reminding you, you will definitely not be able to escape from the city on your own. Really

When you have to escape, it is more reliable for me to help you find a way!"

"Okay...but why do you want to help me to this extent?" Makiko Kodera was so moved that she choked up: "I just happened to pass by when you were attacking the Nightmare Demon and helped me a little bit..."

“…That was no small favor. Without your help, I would have been dead at that time.”

  Yulia sighed, and then said this.

"It's a good thing that you blocked the knife for me, otherwise I would have died... Really, I thought you were dead at that time. Fortunately, your self-healing power is incredible... Oh, right, don't think that you are

With this kind of physique, you can forcefully escape from the city. The church has many ways to deal with unkillable targets. Keeping you locked up is just one of the solutions. You may also be turned into a magic weapon."

“Make it into a magic weapon?” Kodera was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused: “What do you mean?”

"It is sealed in the weapon. It may be necessary to melt you first, and then forge it. No matter what method is used, after the processing is completed, you will exist in a form that is conscious but unable to escape from the magic device...

…At most, you can wander around the magic device in your spirit state for a while, but it’s very difficult to turn back into a human being.”

When Yulia said this, she frowned and did not explain any more.
