Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter-Chapter 178

Tanya’s Adventure

I received a secret mission from the lady, and immediately I started to move.

I was told to be careful about Yuri-related matters, but I am not afraid, because crossing a dangerous bridge means to grow my skills level.

…… Of course, I have kept in mind to avoid getting caught.

About Mimosa ‘s engagement matter, I got information quickly.

Although the information control of Mimosa’s fiance house cannot be said to be lax, thanks to the fact that there was a little security hole I got everything.

The problem was Yuri-related information.

I can not obtain her information.

Everything about her was erased carefully, only content that is too beautiful to be true comes out.

…… She seems to have a strong hidden force behind her.

While thinking about such a thing, I sighed and entered a single street from an alley.. I proceeded to the back of the alley which was completely inaccessible.

While holding a lamp, I confirm the sign that I felt from the previous time.

I always feel it when investigation Yuri related matters.

Exercise your body, move instantly only the necessary muscles and move the fastest way possible.

Was it surprising that I disappeared from sight, when I did not seem to move?

I pointed my lamp to a thin stick a little longer than a needle, that was coming out from a closed window.

“Wow … stop, stop, there is no hostility here.”

It seems that he was a partner in this field with considerable competence.

I read the sign over my head coming from him as a peace sign and exactly at the time I watched it, I looked up to him and raised my hand as a way to show that there was no hostility.

This way he will not take his weapons to attack me according to our just made pact.

I stopped any movement and started observing him.

He was a man with the height of a little child.

He is dressed in a way to not stand out in the city.

His eyes tend to be slightly characteristic, yet there are no other characteristic features. He can be mistaken for another easily.

If he gets in a crowd, it seems likely that you will miss him even if he’s nearby.

“You seem surprised. I’m still growing so don’t mind my height.”

The opponent was supposed to be in alert, however, he did not seem to be impatient or guard from me, instead I was admired by him as he still muttered that he was amazed by my movements.

“It’s a pity you cannot say who you are, my name is Mairo for the time being. Oh, for the time being because it’s an alias I got for a while”

He self introduced with a light tone.

As if there is no sense of crisis … Or is he really not feeling a sense of crisis about this situation? … Perhaps the latter is the true.

“… … Why did you follow me?”

“Because you were strolling around my target, you have stopped following him thought?”

“…… It has nothing to do with you”

“Well, it has to do with me more than you think – if you move so much and you alarmed the guys around the target, you will call enemies for us… Hey … would you like that?”

“What do you mean, what do you want to do?”

“I’m doing research on her, I have reported it to my owner already, now I’m still looking at all her movements and report any suspicious movements. In other words, if you move so much and alert them we are in trouble … … so do not have direct contact with her, you just want to know her purpose right?”

To his question, I neither affirm nor deny.

But he continues talking on his own.

“If you want to investigate, you do not have to be around her, that’s why I’ll give you a hint.”

“Information … a hint… really?”

“I may give information if I need the other person to know it, do not you believe it?”

Well, certainly … I agree with him.

“What are the merits for you by giving me hints?”

“Well, I told you earlier that I do not want you to alert her.”

“Well…”

Rapidly, I get closer to him. Awaiting for him to deliver the information.

Mairo laughed troubled for my reaction.

“A little idiot… I suppose you are rooting for your master as myself”

“… What …?”

“My master is worried about your master …. She’s moving so much that pus is coming out from the body. Well, the reason is the country itself, there are enemies everywhere, and as crisis arises, the start to show their fangs. But my master is different from your master. What she originally did, is harassing the enemies and my master is just planning from behind to sank all of them at once. It is definitely your master you did the most damage, as put them in the chandelier.”

He implied that my master was being protected and helped from the shades about this.

… I will further strengthen my vigilance on that.

However, there is no gap in the man in front, he is a powerful soldier.

Even from a casual movement, I can hear his strength.

…… If we are fighting, I would lose.

“So, as for me, I am worried about my master worrying for your master, so I’ll always be on your side, if you don’t betray your master, that is why I can give you about a hint, take it as a big free service. Besides, I will not have anything to do with you in the future. ”

…… Even if I challenge him in this place, nothing would be gained.

In that case, I concluded that priority one should be given to take back what I can get and returning.

“Then, please say it quickly”

“Incidentally, which information has the highest difficulty degree of risk to die because of its contents?”

“Tell me in detail”

“Well, in this case there is no such risk … well … it is certainly a prudent way to think if to investigate after listening to the details first.”

I can not understand his advice meaning and I tilt my head.

“What are you saying, I was ordered to investigate”

In that declaration, Mairo had rounded his eyes as if surprised for a moment … … but eventually he began to laugh.

“I really want you to be my partner, really, is greed the secret of growth? …. Good, I will tell you two things”

Tanya rushes Mairo which keeps laughing silently.

“… Well, before that, the explanation about Rubens Duke comes first?”

I will not affirm or deny his question.

It seems like I could not get another piece of information from him if I leaked something in a wrong word I told … I felt like that.

“Why do you joke, when you are in a mission to investigate her behind-the-scenes relationship, please stop it !! ”

Mercilessly I threw a bag to him.

He grinned and jumped to the ground … Far away, he grabbed the bag lightly and threw it up and down.

“… … did not you think that poison would be useless?”

“Because I am tolerant to most poisons and you’re smart, so I will not imitate like it did have effect on me at this point, have you any other surprise gift left to show?”

In the words of Mairo, I have a bitter smile.

Well I was not going to hurt him … I just confirmed the frightening power I thought he had.

Thought, I did not expect him to grab it without avoiding.

“Well, leave it aside. First of all, the first dangerous person, it’s Divan.. always follow Divan’s footsteps, especially the most recent trends of his traders, in conjunction with that, you should follow the baron, why is him not in the kingdom even during this season? …. ”

I nod silently in answer to his words.

“Simple person, you simply poke around her. I think the guards are loose around that woman if not, I think they could have easily found you.”

“… Okay, okay, it’s good already.. I understood”

Mairo laughed at me.

“You’re a good child to talk to, I am also looking for clues for my master, because he does not want to fight in vain.”

“Well, I guess so …. Incidentally, is your master present in the country?”

To my question, Mairo deepens his smile.

But his eyes are not laughing.

Rather, his spirit was frozen …… That kind of light he emited.

“… That is a good thing if you do not know.”

“Well, I’d be happy if you could give me some hints of who your master is… … Well, that’s good for today, as I will not have contact with you anymore, so I will excuse myself.”

“Hey, I will also be rude.”

He left at once.

In order not to show off his back, he retreats quickly in such a way that we gaze at each other.

And after leaving a certain distance … … we ran in opposite direction.

I returned to a busy road.

At that moment, my legs weakened as the dangerous moment passed.

The first prince holds a lot of good pieces in hand … … I think it’s highly possible it’s someone from his faction who helped mylady.

That is only speculation.

However, thinking from the behavior of Mairo, it seemed to be the most likely.

All the information he talked about may be false.

Perhaps the enemy side might have taken a way to distract him.

These possibilities were also ….

But the content he said is sufficient to investigate.

Because he insisted on “Divan” “The baron absence…” as if searching for those keywords would lead us to Yuri.

Rather than focusing on Yuri’s movements only, it is certainly beneficial to investigate her related people.

…… More than anything, Mairo never attacked her at that occasion, he kept watching and following.

I decided to begin with investigating Divan relations first.
