There was no one in the living room.

Alice went in and started to look for the glasses.

She found it immediately since her grandfather always had it placed next to his seat.

Alice wore the glasses and started to read.

“Has he written about me?”

*Doki *Doki

She began to read –

‘Looks like I can use all systems of magic evenly’

Takeo had also written about the magic that he could use.

“Hehhhh”

She continued to read.

He hadn’t written anything about her which she felt was slightly regretful but she felt a little embarrassed about the tension that she had built up earlier.

“…………Eh?”

Her eyes stopped at the end of the memo.

……….Order to report? Will be beaten up?

Alice searched her memories but she didn’t remember any memory where Takeo had a conversation with a soldier in the 2 days that she spent with him.

As far as possible, she always had him within her sight.

“Could it be on the 1st day……” 

She wondered but denied the possibility immediately.

That was impossible since he didn’t venture into town that day.

Then…………when?

…………I don’t know. She didn’t know therefore she was really worried about Takeo right now.

“He ended up getting in contact with someone that I don’t know while he was with me without me even knowing.”

Alice thought that she had failed.

Takeo had mentioned it as well but it was obvious at first glance that he didn’t know any form of self-defense.

His physical fitness too……….he was a complete amateur.

That Takeo was prepared to be beaten up.

Alice became impatient………….what should I do in order to find out where he is…….

Alice was anguished in the living room all by herself.

Grandpa Elvis and Fredrick entered the living room.

“However, the ‘mayonnaise’  that we had had breakfast was really good.”

“Yes, that was good.

The recipe is simple as well. We’ll try it as a salad dressing next ti..”

Fredrick was stunned speechless right there.

Grandpa Elvis was also at a loss for words.

Alice was already in the living room and she was crying………

That Alice was crying……

“Wha……….what happened!? Alice!?”

Grandpa Elvis was really concerned as he asked her.

“Grandfather, Sir Takeo is…….”

She showed him the paper but he couldn’t read what was written.

“Nn…………nn?……..I can’t read it………”

“Ah………here………”

Alice gave him the glasses.

“Let’s see.”

Grandpa Elvis read the memo.

‘This is…..”

“Grandfather……….Sir Takeo…………be beaten……….he was called………he’s prepared to be injured………”

Alice explained while crying.

“H…….Hmm……..”

Takeo had informed him about that last night. Secretly.

…………However, if she were to tell Alice about his location right now then sparks would probably fly……..

Grandpa Elvis was worried. Does he need to tell her………

He handed over the letter and glasses to Fredrick.

“Lady Alice, there is a hint in this memo.”

Fredrick said after checking its contents.

“Eh?”

Alice turned to face Fredrick.

“It’s been 4 days since Sir Takeo came here. If he was told this yesterday then 3 days.

No matter how much knowledge he has, he cannot tell a person’s position or who it is in that short amount of time.

That’s why Sir Takeo the fact that he had written ‘Order to report’ is.”

“Is?”

“The other party must have given their name or it must have been obvious by just a glance about who the person is.”

“That’s true.”

Alice nodded.

“The Elvis household had informed the executives of the civilian-military officers already.”

“Yes.”

“…………So this person is not an executive?”

“Ah!”

“That’s right…………what if he was informed by an executive and called out to him because he was concerned……..?

Besides would a civilian purposely call out to him?

No one knows his personality so he would be approached carefully.

It would make more sense to come up with some errand and then come to this mansion to figure it out.”

“That’s right.”

“The person who called out to him……….is probably confident that he can take a sudden attack or impulsive actions from him.”

“But………..that’s…..”

“There are only 2 such organizations in this town.

I think that Sir Takeo is probably in one of those……..”

Alice got up from her seat and was moving towards the exit.

“Lady Alice, where are you going?”

Fredrick asked.

“I’m returning to my room to change my clothes.

I’ll be back immediately so please prepare my full plate.”

“In preparation for battle?”

“I’ll give it back to those people that want to bully Sir Takeo.”

Alice said that and left the room.

Grandpa Elvis and Fredrick were still in the living room.

“Fredrick, you saved me.”

Grandpa Elvis lowered his head and expressed his gratitude.

“No, actually I was also surprised that I was able to handle it well.”

“I think it was right to not inform her of his location…….”

“Yes, because of the moment when she rose from her seat right?”

“Hmm, that was……..the power of the evil eye. What power….”

“How should I say this,….

I could understand if she was just overflowing with power but

It felt like we were in the face of a natural disaster.”

“If she were to get angry with us in that state….

The living room would be destroyed………”

“I don’t think that it would end with just the living room.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“Then, I’ll be back with Lady Alice’s full plate.”

Fredrick left the living room.
