Chapter 419: Good Opportunity
The afternoon investigation quickly began.
Although I had the experience of the morning as a foreshadowing, it was still quite difficult not to get nervous outside.
Every second Erina walked on the street, she was worried whether she had been discovered.
Fortunately, she never got caught in a chase once, and the whole afternoon of snooping passed safely.
Not that no one doubted her.
For example, a passerby wanted to go around in front of her to see clearly what Erina looked like. Others used excuses to keep Erina, claiming that they wanted to leave alone for a while. That would probably be to call the guards.
In the former case, Erina took advantage of the crowd in time to escape.
As for the latter, she saw through it instantly and escaped from here in time.
"I heard something here!" After Nao came back, Erina hurriedly approached and asked, "How are you doing there?"
"Yeah, I also got some information!"
"...By the way, you smell so good!" Erina took a deep breath and found that the smell of Nao was extremely tempting. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Did Nao bake herself? It seems very delicious. !”
"How is that possible?" Nao smiled bitterly and took out a paper bag from his pocket: "I came back with some good things!"
"roast chicken?!"
"Roasted rabbit~ Such a big rabbit only costs 20 copper coins. It's a violation!" The bunny-eared girl opened the paper bag enthusiastically and could hardly hide the excitement on her face: "Hey, Erina-chan! You You will never believe what I heard!"
"Is it... news about the disdainful servants?!" Erina was infected by her emotions and suddenly became excited: "And, they are still in the city?!"
"Ah, that's not true." Nao seemed a little disappointed when Erina said this. But he soon became excited again: "Actually, what I want to tell you is that not only did I find the name of the noble, but I also found a good opportunity to find out the cargo list! You must seize it! "
"Huh? What opportunity?" Erina's attention was diverted by the rabbit and turned to Nao: "Is it limited time?"
"Yes." Nao said seriously: "We have to take action tomorrow. If we fail, we may have to take considerable risks and sneak into the mansion to get the list. Moreover, this requires Erina-chan's help. Find out what’s inside.”
Erina: "Of course I want to help! But, how to do it specifically?"
Nao: "Hmph...it's actually very simple! Anyway, just listen to me..."
Next, Nao explained the action plan for tomorrow.
This is the information she got when she eavesdropped on the workers chatting near the house of the noble Viscount Jonah.
The reliability should be said to be relatively high.
Tomorrow morning at about ten o'clock, a servant delivering the list will set off from the baron's mansion.
He would deliver the list to the unidentified purchaser and eventually return to the Baron's mansion.
"I'll deal with the guards, and you follow the servant with the list. Then find an opportunity to steal the things out for inspection. Remember the valuable clues, and then put them back quietly! Don't be discovered."
"Ah? This is too difficult." After hearing this, Erina felt that it was really unreliable: "I haven't stolen anything before? What if I'm found out? Why don't you do it..."
"In that case, who will be responsible for dealing with the guards and those who may do bad things? You may not be able to kill them in time with your magic, right?" Nao spread his hands helplessly: "I can only let you steal. Don't worry, it shouldn't be difficult. .”
"It's not difficult... how is it possible!" Erina felt that it was still difficult to do, and showed a very embarrassed expression: "Is there no other way? In other words, how about we change it?"
"It's not very good... It's best for you to steal it, Erina." Nishida Nao looked embarrassed and said: "You don't have any useful spells that can make people distracted for a moment, and then they won't find themselves. Is something happening around you? If so, you can steal the list at that time."
"There is no such spell. I can make people unconscious, but it's impossible for it to last for such a short time." Erina said this, and reluctantly made this suggestion: "Why don't we kill that guy directly? Are you going to knock us unconscious in a place where no one is around? They won’t think that our purpose is to peek at the list.”
"Oh? It seems to be a way... Indeed. Most people will not connect our escape plan with this purchase plan!" Nao thought for a moment, and then praised Erina's idea: "Erina-chan Sometimes my brain works well! But it’s not good enough.”
"What! Your statement..." Erina complained dissatisfiedly: "You think my proposal is not good enough, so why don't you tell me what you think? Are there any loopholes in this plan?"
Nao: "First of all, the first point - that guy can't see our faces! To be more precise, he shouldn't even see our body shapes. Otherwise, he will be suspected."
Erina: "I know this...I can knock him out remotely."
Nao: "Yeah. So I'm going to talk about the second crucial point!"
Nao: "That means, we must steal his money! Oh no, I should say snatch it away! After all, we do it by force."
Erina: "..."
Erina: "You just want to make some extra money. It's just a personal interest, why does it become the key..."
Nao: "That's not right, Erina-chan~"
Nao: "This is indeed the key~ Because we are going to disguise this attack as a robbery for money!"
Nao: "This way, we won't be suspected!"
Erina: "That's it!"
Erina: "It feels like breaking a casserole to see the bottom."
Nao: "Erina-chan, this proverb is completely wrong. Let's use some simpler words."
Nao: "Like a sudden realization or something."
Erina: "...But the kanji for this word is so difficult to write."
Nao: "Nope~ You still have to learn kanji carefully. Using pseudonyms all the time will degrade your brain, right?"
Nao: "It's like always looking at the target points in the game to move. After a long time, you will easily become a road addict? It's better to find your own way."
Erina: "Really?!"
Erina: "I always feel like you're lying to me."
Nao: "How could you lie to Erina-chan?"
Nao: "Come on, let's eat the roasted rabbit quickly. If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
Erina: "...No, it's already cold."
Erina: "I always feel that in the few days I've been here, I've eaten more rabbits than I've eaten in my entire life..."
