We are now free of the completely unprovoked false accusations.
　We're having breakfast at a snack shop that's been open since morning, just a stone's throw away from the sanatorium, and we're planning our rescue mission.

'We've got to go get them as soon as possible!'
　Even though I was changing into a human form, the white fox was still gobbling up my hand like a breath.

Unu, Junbi, please. Previously on Meh.

　Hajduki was straightforward.

I understand the desire to save your sister as soon as possible. When grandpa was taken to the county fairgrounds, I thought it was the end of the world. But Seya and everyone else here is an amazing person. But Seya and everyone else here is an amazing person, so can't you just believe in them for a moment?

　Uduki is like a kind older sister.

　The Sakurai sisters gently teach and admonish me in their own ways.

'Gulp gulp I understand.
"Unu, white, great, great.
Hmm....

　Finally, it was Shirogane being patted by Hazuki.

　Yes, I like this scene, it's really precious.
　It cleanses my cloudy eyes and heart.

　By the way, we are sitting at a round table for eight with Uzushi on my right and Sasha on my left.

　On my lap was Hazuki, rubbing his body as usual, and sweetly playing with me like a little animal.

　Across from him was 《Shin'enryu》, Naia and Chris-san.

　Although Shirogane became calmer than at one point after being admonished by the Sakrai sisters, he was still fidgeting and running around the round table.

''Hey Chris, are you sure that's the Scott-Massison Trading Company's administrative facility?''

'Yes my lady. I have carefully researched the Scott-Massison Chamber of Commerce and I am certain of that.

You've been doing a lot of research...

The fact that you picked a fight with Travis Merchant Society is the same as picking a fight with your daughter. If that's the case, it's in the best interest of the young lady to gather as much information as possible to prepare for the upcoming battle, and that's what you should be doing as her personal maid.

Oh, well...

　I firmly promised myself that I would not let Chris be the only one to be offended.

　--And...

Oh, it's not...

　A single person entering the mansion was projected by the Shin'en-ryu's "True Dragon Eye".

　The figure looked familiar as it hid its face while being wary of its surroundings, avoided the large main gate in the front and quickly entered through the small entrance in the back.

'No doubt, the one who went to Travis's main house to make money from the chick appraisal, the one who got kicked off by the old man and ran away with a discarded line--!

That's Steele Scott-Massison. He took over one of the three largest trading firms at a very young age due to the sudden death of his predecessor, and is, in a word, a bastard son of a b*tc*.

　Chris, you're so harsh.........

But it's a bingo!

'Summer bugs in a flying fire, I guess they came to see how anxious they were when they found out about the failed wagon attack. It's a very obvious little thing, isn't it? Well, I think it's about time we--

　I said, and Naia stood up.

　At the same time.
'Excuse me. Master Nair, everything is in place. All we need to do now is wait for your orders.
　A female knight of the Holy Virgin Order (Jeanne d'Arc) came to report to me.

''Thank you for your hard work. Sorry to ask you to do an urgent job first thing in the morning?

'No way!　We hear that Master Nai'a has defeated an evil dragon on the eastern frontier the other day!　This is nothing compared to that!

　The girl's expression was full of respect as she replied with a straightened spine.
　As expected of a man of outstanding achievement and trusted by the emperor, it is said that he is a nai'a.

It is a good thing that you're a young woman and you want to die?　I don't know what you're mistaken about, but we have not been defeated.　As you can see, I'm alive and well. In the first place, it was you who made me defeat my mistress...

　The "divine demon dragon" that I had stopped hearing the word "defeated" began to tangle with the blue streaks and stiffness, so

Oh, it's just a rumor!　Okay?　A tail fin is only a rumor when it's attached to a fin, right?　So please don't make a super stiff killing spree in a normal food restaurant like this!

　I hurriedly intervened with Hazuki in my arms.
　If it was done poorly, the murderous atmosphere alone could have caused her to faint.

Unu. I had a surprise visit from an old friend.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

　I was holding Hazuki tightly, as if to protect him from getting caught up in the absolute zero killing intent of the Shin-En-Dragon.

''I'm very jealous...''
Yeah, I'm gonna...

　Sasha and Uduki were so cute when they said what they were doing, so I beckoned them over and gave them all three of them a squeeze together with Hajduki.

　While

You have a very low boiling point. You're a top-ranked SS player, why don't you just sit back and relax?
It's not fair. She wants her master to give her a kiss.

"You ain't heard a peep out of me!　
　I decided to give Uzuki, Sasha, Hazuki, and Shin-En-Dragon a good squeeze at the same time.

　Well, you see?

　They're all very pretty girls, and frankly, they're a great perk, so of course I have nothing to complain about.

　So...
So, now that we've all recharged our batteries, let's go get our stuff.

　If Niall hadn't told me that, I would have been squeezing all the way through.

'Atay separate as arranged. Sayre and the others will be at the front, please. Well, I don't think they'll have any resistance.

　Preparations--that is to say, this is what we are going to do.
　What we are about to do is a formal investigation by the Holy Virgin Knights (Jeanne d'Arc).

　Our opponent is a major merchant in the imperial capital.
　If we rush in without reason, if we're not careful, we will be the ones who are wanted for trespassing.

　So what should we do?

The Holy Virgin Knights (Jeanne d'Arc) has been given the authority to deal with crimes related to demons and Phantasmagoria.

Well, I don't remember you saying that...?
　As I recall, he said something like that when he confronted the frontier count who summoned the 《Shin'enryu》.

''Originally, it's a timed legislation given to us to investigate the Eastern Frontier Count Moreno, but it's still in the process of post-processing and hasn't expired yet, so let's make good use of it. Since it's so important, let's put it to good use.

　With a grin.
　Naiya laughed with a face like a child who's playing tricks on a secret base - and she laughed.
