In the Kingdom of Vespania, a mine of unknown ore, two men sneaked into the heavily guarded mine at night. After entering the mine, they faced mountains of ore. One of the men with a monkey face took out two L-shaped sticks. He holds the metal rod in his hand, constantly looking for unknown ores according to the swing direction of the metal rod.
Half a year ago, an earthquake occurred in the Kingdom of Vespania. The earthquake exposed the Mohorovich discontinuity, which is usually tens of kilometers under the earth's crust. The unknown ore that can shield electronic signals also So he was discovered.
Because unknown ores can shield electronic signals, any advanced metal detection equipment loses its effectiveness in the face of unknown ores, making the mining of ores extremely difficult. It is obviously mining, but it has become the same as buying a lottery ticket. A matter of luck.
Now this monkey-faced man is holding an L-shaped metal rod, using a very ancient method of detecting groundwater and precious metals. When faced with unknown ores that can block electronic signals, only this primitive detection method can find them. out.
"I said, Lupine, is your method really okay?"
another man asked.
"Believe me, there is absolutely no problem! This detection rod is as trustworthy as Fujiko!"
The world-famous Kaito Thief Lupine III was full of confidence, running around the mine with an L-shaped metal rod, constantly detecting every place in the mine.
"Same as Fujiko Mine? Doesn't that mean it's completely untrustworthy!"
Hearing Lupine III's words, Daisuke Jigen, his companion, pressed his hat, already having a premonition in his heart that he was destined to lose everything tonight.
In order to steal the "Queen's Crown", the national treasure of the Kingdom of Vespania, Lupine III must obtain this mineral to avoid the outrageous electronic surveillance equipment surrounding the treasure house where the "Queen's Crown" is stored.
After running around in the deserted mine for an unknown amount of time, Lupine III, who was originally full of confidence, began to sweat on his forehead because there was no result.
"No, no, no...can't find it at all!"
Finally, Lupine III, who was so tired that he was sweating profusely, sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
Jigen Daisuke lit a cigarette with a leisurely look on his face.
When Lupine III said that his detection method was as reliable as Mine Fujiko, he knew that Lupine III would not be able to find anything, because that woman was not trustworthy at all. Regarding this, their other partner Ishikawa Goemon also held the same attitude as Daisuke Jigen. Only Lupine III, an idiot, was so obsessed with the woman who betrayed them many times that he believed her words deeply.
"It's impossible, it's impossible to find it. There must be something wrong..."
Lupine the Third refused to believe that there was a problem with his method, so there could only be a problem somewhere else!
His eyes gradually became determined. Lupine III stood up suddenly and began to look around for something in the mine.
"Hey, Lupine, stop looking. With your method, we can't find anything even if we look for a month..."
Daisuke Jigen had smoked out almost a pack of cigarettes. He felt that staying here any longer would be bad for his lungs, so he planned to persuade Lupine III to retreat first.
That kind of unknown ore does not have to be found in the mines. The Kingdom of Vespania must have finished products. Isn't it better to steal the finished ores than waste time here?
"Daisuke, come on, look what I found!"
Lupine III's voice came from far away, and Daisuke Jigen dropped the cigarette in his mouth.
No way? Really found it?
Daisuke Jigen was dubious, and walked towards the direction where Lupine III's voice came from, and then he saw a scene that made his eyes pop out.
"No, it can't be... What is going on? What is the Kingdom of Vespania planning to do?"
Daisuke Jigen said in disbelief.
"No matter what they plan to do, we must deal with these things." Lupine III's eyes became solemn. "It seems that there are still many things we don't know about unknown ores!"
"Lupine, what should we do next?"
Daisuke Jigen asked. The thing in front of him told Daisuke Jigen that the Kingdom of Vespania was in danger now, but he also knew that Lupine III would never let go of something he liked.
"Let's go to Japan to find Princess Mira."
Lupine the Third introduced the Great Dimension.
"Looking for Princess Mila? She will be back in a few days. Why should we waste time going to Japan to find her and wait for her to come back?"
Daisuke Jigen said doubtfully.
In order to help Lupine III steal the "Queen's Crown", the treasure of the Vespagna royal family, Jigen Daisuke went to the Vespagna palace to apply for a guard instructor. He was also invited by Count Keith to accompany Princess Mira to Japan as a bodyguard. But because Princess Mila hated bearded people, he was left behind. However, he still had a general idea of Princess Mila's itinerary.
"No, I'm afraid that if we don't rush to Japan, Princess Mira may be left in Japan forever!"
Lupine III said worriedly.
…………………………
"Cough cough cough!"
The next morning, Mira walked out of her room coughing non-stop. Mine Fujiko also came out of the next room. Seeing Mira like this, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Maybe I played too hard last night and was a little tired, so I caught a little cold. I always feel a little pain in my chest and have some difficulty breathing, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Mira shook her head.
Hearing Mira's answer, Mine Fujiko couldn't help but frown, because she also had similar symptoms to Mira, but it was milder.
"Hurry, the ambulance is here, hurry up and carry the guests off!"
At this moment, in the room opposite the two, two staff members each carried a guest and hurried out of the room.
The two of them didn't care. They just thought it was a hotel guest who suddenly fell ill. Soon, two waiters walked into the room and started cleaning.
"Hey, why do guests keep getting acute pneumonia in our hotel recently? It's really unlucky!"
"Tch, those guests don't know what's going on. Don't you know? It's not because of taking a dip in that hot spring!"
"That hot spring?"
"It's just...that hot spring whose water hasn't been changed for several months!"
The waiter lowered his voice.
"Ah, it's that hot spring... hasn't the boss asked someone to change the water yet?"
Another waiter also lowered his voice.
"How much does it cost to change the water? Anyway, the guests don't know that the water is from a few months ago. They all believe in the reputation of our century-old store. If they get sick after bathing in the hot spring, they just think it is because of their poor health. No wonder We were on top of it, and they were very grateful to our hotel because we called an ambulance and carried them to the hospital in time, so the boss refused to change them and asked us to use less disinfectant to save money!"
"Hey, the economy is in recession, and there is nothing we can do about it..."
The two waiters murmured in low voices. They thought they were speaking so quietly that no one else would hear them, but they didn't know that this conversation still reached the ears of Mira and Fujiko Mine.
Princess Mira was so angry that she trembled all over and started to feel itchy all over. Mira glared at Fujiko Mine and said, "Tell me, are you a killer sent by the enemy, planning to... disgust me to death? Cough cough cough!"
She thought her discomfort was due to her weak constitution, but it turned out that she fell into trouble here!
Thinking that the hot spring she soaked in last night might be the "old soup" whose water had not been changed for several months, Mira's stomach began to churn again, making her feel extremely nauseous.
Fortunately she didn't try to hold her breath in the hot spring last night, otherwise...
Mira couldn't imagine it. She really wanted to take a shower somewhere else immediately to get rid of the mold on her body.
"..."
Fujiko Mine ignored what Mira was saying. She was even crazier than Mira now.
Don't stop me! No one can stop me! I'm going to blow up this hotel tonight! Definitely going to blow it up! absolute!
Fujiko Mine never thought of complaining or reporting this hotel. She is from Japan and knows Japanese people’s peeing habits very well. She complained. The hotel must be a “private Marseille, don’t dare to do it next time.” It’s great to compensate Fujiko Mine for a few photos. I received a hospitality ticket, but Mine Fujiko refused to stay in this damn place anymore.
And when it comes to reporting them... Fujiko Mine vaguely remembers that for this kind of thing, according to Japanese law, there is a fine of 2,000 yen. This bullshit fine has not been changed at all since the war.
Two thousand yen, such a punishment obviously cannot calm Fujiko Mine's anger, so let's destroy it!
Fujiko Mine began to plan his actions for tonight.
While Fujiko Mine was thinking about how to take revenge on this hot spring hotel, Mira had quietly left Fujiko Mine.
Originally, when she saw Fujiko Mine saving her when she was being chased by bodyguards, she thought she was some kind of reliable big sister, but in the end, she led her to step on the thunder and get it right. Mira had lost confidence in Fujiko Mine.
After taking her handbag and leaving the hot spring hotel, Mira was a little at a loss for a while walking on the street.
She was free, but after she was free, she was confused because she didn't know what to do.
Before escaping, she was thinking about escaping, but after escaping, she couldn't think of what she should do.
While walking, a piece of news played on the TV on the street caught Mira's attention.
"...Yesterday, Her Royal Highness Princess Mira of the Kingdom of Vespania, who was visiting Japan, was poisoned at a reception. Although Her Royal Highness Mira survived under the protection of Her Royal Highness Mira's bodyguards and the Metropolitan Police Police, but As a result, she was greatly frightened, and the Prime Minister's meeting originally scheduled for today was postponed to tomorrow. It is reported that this assassination was planned by the organizers of the 'Anti-Princess Movement' in the Kingdom of Vespania, aiming to... "
On the news, host Balabala said a lot, making the person involved laugh.
"Well, that's it. Anyway... I'm just a mascot."
Even though she had escaped, the news was reporting that she would meet with the Prime Minister of Japan tomorrow. Mira didn't know where Sefilia could transform into herself, but it had nothing to do with her.
Anyway, the cooperation with the Japanese government has been decided from the beginning, and I can't change anything no matter what I think. The trip to Japan has been arranged long ago. It can be said that even if you are looking for a dog, as long as you are named "Mila" With the name "Princess", this collaboration can proceed perfectly. Instead of worrying about the content of the news, it is better to think about where to go next. Mira just now remembered one fatal thing, that is, her When I escaped for the first time, I brought all the cosmetics and everything, but I didn’t bring any money!
Mine Fujiko paid for all the expenses last night, but now Mira sneaked out alone, but she was penniless...
"I heard that in Japan, as long as young girls walk on the street, kind-hearted uncles will come up to greet them and take them to eat delicious food. I don't know if this is true?"
Mira murmured.
If that's the case, then there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about if you don't have money.
"Of course it's fake, how can such a good thing happen!"
A somewhat familiar voice came from behind. Mira turned her head and found that the strange boy with glasses whom she met last night was behind her.
"you……"
As soon as she saw Yan Kai, Mira naturally thought of the conveyor belt sushi she had eaten last night. Her stomach churned again and she vomited directly to Yan Kai.
"..."
Yan Kai's face became a little ugly.
No, do I look so sorry? I actually made you spit it out as soon as you saw me?
"Hey, I still thought that you were probably ignorant of the world and might cause trouble. I came to confirm your situation out of good intentions, but this is what you did to me? Then let me go!"
Yan Kai turned around and was about to leave.
"Sorry, sorry, I just remembered what happened last night..."
Mira covered her mouth to save her face and said.
Fortunately, she had already vomited all last night, and she hadn't had time to have breakfast this morning, so Mira just retched and didn't really vomit anything.
Thinking about what happened last night... well, Yan Kai felt disgusted even if he didn't touch those conveyor belt sushi. Mira's reaction was understandable, so Yan Kai forgave Mira and asked Mira: "Why are you alone? ?Where is the aunt who was with you before?"
"Don't mention her, she was tricked again last night!"
Mira said with a stinking face.
Seeing that Mira's face was not good, Yan Kai asked her in detail what happened to her, so as not to make him sick as well, and asked instead: "Then you shouldn't have anywhere to go now, right?"
"What, you want to take me in?"
Mira looked at Yan Kai warily.
"..."
Yan Kai remained silent. Although the huge glasses covered most of Yan Kai's face, Mira still felt Yan Kai's disgust.
"The expression on your face... is disgust? It's disgust, right? Right?"
Mira felt insulted.
She is a princess after all. When has she ever been disliked like this?
"No, don't think too much about it."
Yan Kai pushed up his glasses to hide his facial expression.
"I want to say that a friend of mine said she was going to a summer training camp for a few days, and then her father went to arrest criminals outside of Tokyo. He couldn't go home for several days, so she asked me to help take care of her family. Child, I’m too lazy to take care of that brat, so I want to ask, if you have no place to go, can you stay at my friend’s house temporarily and help her take care of her child?”
Yan Kai said to Mira.
Mira thought for a while and found that she seemed to have no room to refuse, so she could only nod: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, Mira immediately added: "But I have agreed in advance that I will not take care of children!"
Yan Kai nodded and said: "Don't worry, that kid doesn't need to be taken care of at all. It's Xiaolan who is overly worried."
