Even Though I'm a Former Noble and a Single Mother, My Daughters Are Too Cute and Working as an

"Then spend the day in your room with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Until I get back, try not to leave the room."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

"Mommy looks around too, be careful"

"Sophie! Tio! What are you doing!? Let's get started!

Four days before the Summer Solstice Festival...... Sophie and Tio drop off Shirley, who takes turns at night as before.

Shirley would have preferred to be nearby Hilda clearly, but more than Crowley could possibly install some sort of magical trick, Shirley needs to inspect the castle for them with powers of alienation.

"Today I will prevail! Because I was just a little unlucky yesterday!

"I never thought I'd win a hundred straight without Baba either."

"Haha...... because Hilda gets on her face when she's private. I don't know if it's a prelucky problem anymore."

"Hmm!? So it doesn't look like I'm simply weak!?

The princess, who has fallen for the cards game commonly used for common people's gambling, has repeatedly failed miserably over the past few days, inviting Sophie and Tio at night, with no punishment.

Shirley thinks I'd be bored if I were normal, but I guess it still matters who I play with, not what kind of play I should call friend correction there.

Shirley leaves the room smiling faintly, looking like she was having fun and most importantly.

"Ah, Mr. Shirley....... Could it be that you are going to look around?

"You just have to wait till we get back."

"I knew the signs were coming up, and most importantly, it was time for a change."

At the same time, Kyle and the others came back to the room from behind the hallway after a lookout. Explore suspicious points with the power of the Abnormal, but there seems to be no particular abnormality.

"Did you see anything unusual?

"Yeah, nothing in particular"

"Originally, the Royal Castle was equipped with many magic props for crime prevention. There are plenty of guards, and honestly, I doubt you can dive in."

"Is that so?"

Whether a trap is set, or not, you can't find anything, as much as you'd expect.

Crowley has not shown any irregularities in his previous crimes until the day of the trailer, and he has always kidnapped the girl on the day of the trailer. Some of them are the daughters of powerful men guarded by royal-like guards.

(I hope Siegfried mistook me for not leaving the country due to his return to the demonic kingdom and his castle security)

The Dragon King, initially incorporated into Hilda's protection, is a demon body, no matter how highly intelligent it is. Whatever the castle of the Demon King, his ally, it was bouldered to enter the castle of the kingdom, which was ahead of him, from the territory to the crossing of the country.

"Now, please... please, please, please, about my daughters."

"Oh, wow."

"I've been entrusted."

Slightly pushed and bewildered, the three nodded. Once satisfied with the matter, Shirley ran through the wide castle.

Disease walking by proprietary walking. While its speed is divine, it passes as crossing samurai and soldiers enter the inside of the blind spot so vividly that they are unaware of Shirley's presence.

(if you don't get back as soon as you can)

Though for the sake of looking around, you can't leave your security empty forever. In addition to clairvoyance, Glorious in armor looked around the castle in the same way as Shirley, who instantly detected the majority of the vast castle, reached the hallway that leads from the main entrance to the sight, through her dynamic vision, which quickly traverses but discerns the alien and suspicious points that dwell in the eye.

"Mm. This is Lord Shirley. Can you look around?"

"Yes.... but that seems the same for you"

"Mm-hmm. Though in the position of Marshal, I am also a soldier who pledges allegiance to the royal family. Having finished my clerical duties, I was free... By the way, have you found anything?

To Glorious whispering in a low voice, Shirley shook her head.

"Really... I don't know if there's any sign that I'm going to get this guard up front and ready to go down. Except, the Thieves may not take any action until the day before the Summer Solstice Festival."

…………

What about that? Shirley breaks in her mind that it's not possible.

Even though it's possible that we didn't set up a scheme to aid in the crime, such as a trap, it's obviously odd that we don't know the structure of the building where the person we're about to kidnap is located. Through the chronic mind, it wouldn't be possible to be a thief.

"We have also not received any reports from Canaries. Either way, you better not be alarmed."

"Right. You have to be very careful."

That's what I'm saying and I'm walking away, Glorious. Shirley was casually looking behind him, but his eyes gradually opened.

"… Your Excellency. When I saw you before, did you ever hurt your leg?

"? No, that's not true... why the hell?

"... No, I was just curious. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Shirley turned her heel back and turned around the corner of the hallway, rushing through the hallway at a slippery speed as it was.

"Strict Truth and Reality"

Using his eyes and brain as his starting point, Shirley activates the antimirage, a magic technique that breaks down hallucinogenic magic. He then clairvoyed through the entire castle and began to run up the wall against the highest roof in the royal castle, while gripping the sword created by fantasy alchemy on both hands.

(Wide...! You should have taken into account the strength of your opponent's alien powers............!

Even after I started guarding the castle, I couldn't find any traces of Crowley through Shirley's psychic powers.

But the reason for this is not that Crowley wasn't there... If Crowley had nothing more than a way to scratch Shirley's psychic powers, Shirley saw the way Glorious had walked with her earlier and was convinced that she had.

(The Marshal when we met on the first day and the Marshal we met earlier...... the two casual bodies were clearly different......!

Both were stretching their spines, making no difference to being a soldier-like walker. But for the first time in the last few days, those who know military swordsmanship tend, in common, to point their center of gravity to the other side of their opponent.

That beats up from one soldier, and I guess Glorious, who still has a forged flesh, is the same... the former Glorious didn't have it, and the latter Glorious had it.

(The first Marshal I met was someone else who scratched my psychic abilities... I mean, the disguised "Thief" the guy!

A vortex of unusual magic that layers its magic on the anomaly and finally finds itself in the castle. The mere fact that no one has ever understood such magic tells the story of the cover-up of The Thief.

(No, I didn't... I did see this magic.... but my brain was unable to recognize the visual information. I mean, the identity of the alien powers of "The Thief" is -)

Standing in the uppermost part of the castle, exposed to the night breeze, Shirley looks to the suspicious man who has so far kept himself hidden.

"This is... well done. You were able to capture me. In the last few hundred years, none of them have been able to capture me."

He was a young man in a white suit, silk hat and monocle.

Probably the age on the outside is lower than Shirley's... mid-twenties. However, it emits an old atmosphere that cannot be imagined from the outside.

"Is the boulder something like" White Sword Ghost "Lord...... until the other day I should not have fully noticed, but can I ask you for future reference what the hell inspired you to notice?

"…… there will be no future. You must be the Thief, right?

"Heh heh... no way. Pleased to meet you, I sent you an invitation the night before the Summer Solstice Festival, Crowley Arsene."

The Semi-Immortal (Immortal) in front of him lowers his head in a deliberate manner, including a dialogue turn. Apparently you're not willing to hide it.

... I suppose that goes without saying that you are confident that you can escape even before Shirley.

"Honestly, I don't care about anything other than putting you in jail. I'm not saying I can magically put it on the rope... but I don't think I can get away with it."

Staring at the tip of his sword, Crowley leaned back on his shoulders.

"Oh man...... it's a lot of noisy lady. I think life needs a little more conversation, too, don't you?

"I'm kidding... you won't do it anywhere, like why you enjoy a conversation with a noisy kidnapper"

"And it's spicy, huh? Personally, I really want to get along with you."

Shirley frowns in surprise.

"……… What do you mean?

"Thank you... Mother of the girls I'm going to be spending time with, I don't think it's a good idea that you have a bad heart."

Make a familiar card appear on hand, pinch it with two fingers and show off to Shirley. This is what it said there.

"Bless and toast to an unexpected encounter. At the same time as you receive the princess, you will receive two girls protected by the beauty of the sword and with pale and red eyes. Thief Crowley '

Inevitably, a killer like the Otsutsunami erupts from Shirley. Crowley looked at it for a moment, but his expression quickly turned into something fun.

"Intimidation with even this physical pressure......! I thought it was a cold personality, but it seems quite passionate."

"…… Answer before there is complete blood on my head. Why the hell do you keep grabbing the girls, and now you're even getting your hands on my daughter? Is this some kind of magical experiment... or are you going to sell it out to some of the best people in the world who can get behind it?

The chilling part of being an adventurer asks. After all, I still haven't figured out why Crowley extends to kidnapping. As long as the motive is known, it's a little easier to predict the crime.

"Buying and selling to experiments......!? Don't be ridiculous! What seems to be such an inhumane imitation of the girls is the greatest insult to this" Thief "!

But when Crowley tells him what he thought was the most likely prediction, he gets angry like a train fire by diving in his ever thin laughter. In contrast, Shirley, who devoured the opposite side, continues to inquire without distracting from the cutting edge of the sword.

"So why are you planning a kidnapping or something? If it's not for experiments or money, why...?

"For love."

Crowley responds instantly.

"Love for young, blue, beautiful fruit drives me."

"…………………… Yes?

I really don't understand why. Crowley cummed out somewhere shy to Shirley, who spoke those words eloquently just with her expression.

"To put it frankly and plainly, I'm Loricon."
