Time goes back to a while ago.
The purple-haired girl took advantage of her job of helping to clean the house and worked her way up, from the living room on the first floor to the second floor.
While vigilantly paying attention to whether he was discovered, he walked towards Xia Mi's room.
A window on the second floor can see people in the garden.
She turned sideways and peeked out.
Xia Mi and three girls were sitting together, talking and laughing.
After observing quietly for a while, the four of them didn't notice any movement here. They retracted their slightly envious eyes and walked into Xia Mi's room.
In the dark room, the light was dim, and I could barely see my surroundings clearly.
The purple-haired girl's purpose was to see what was hidden in Xia Mi's suitcase.
Xia Mi's suitcase was placed on a table. The purple-haired girl walked over, swallowed, and opened it carefully.
Inside was a clean skeleton.
The purple-haired girl's eyes widened.
This man actually carried a skeleton with him!
It doesn’t look like the leader of an adventure group at all, but more like a murderer!
Looking at the skeleton, a gloomy aura slowly emerged from the darkness.
The purple-haired girl felt that her skin had turned cold, and she quickly comforted herself in her heart. It was not like she had never seen this kind of thing before.
After all, the family I sneaked into before liked specimens, and his collection room was full of animal specimens.
But that was a specimen, and now this is a human skeleton!
He closed the suitcase and searched around again. After finding nothing useful, he quickly closed the door and came to the corridor.
Standing in front of the window again and staring at Xia Mi in the garden on the first floor, the purple-haired girl began to be confused about his identity.
At this time, something suddenly flashed behind him.
The purple-haired girl quickly turned her head. The corridor without lights was dark and quiet.
Xia Mi's door, which had been closed just now, was opened.
The purple-haired girl walked over, closed the door in confusion, and felt something floating behind her.
"Wha, who?"
The purple-haired girl glanced around, and the source of the movement was at the end of the corridor.
She swallowed and carefully walked deeper into the corridor. At this time, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness at the end of the corridor.
A skeleton was standing in the middle of the corridor, with its back to her. The entire skeleton slowly rotated and its empty eyes looked at her. The next moment, the entire skeleton fell to the floor and broke into large pieces.
The purple-haired girl screamed.
…
The four of them ran up to the second floor.
"Sorry~ I just woke up and wanted to get up and move around, and then I saw a stranger, so I had to pretend to be an ordinary skeleton and fell to the ground."
The skeleton touched the skull sheepishly.
Xia Mi looked at the purple-haired girl who was hiding far away.
"What's the matter?"
Elze looked at the four of them warily.
"Sorry, this is a spirit-infused skeleton left by my family. It has vitality. It frightened you."
Xia Mi thought for a while and explained to the purple-haired girl.
"But it's so unbelievable! I've only seen in books that demonic skeleton soldiers have vitality!"
"...You can ask Sai Li for details. She is a magician."
The magical girl crossed her arms and looked at Natsumi.
Don’t go to a magician when you can’t explain something! The magician is not a master of decryption!
Saili still slowly looked at Elze.
"Yeah. I used witchcraft to resurrect the skeleton."
"That's not a skill a magician should have!"
"By the way, how old are you Elze? You are obviously a dragon, but you are frightened by such a trivial matter. You must have encountered some strange things before."
Xia Mi looked at the purple-haired girl and turned her back on herself.
Elze, who had been doing something shady just now, felt guilty, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he bit his lip, as if he had something to hide, and calmed down.
If she were a real dragon, of course she wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing...
After things calm down.
"Lureia, it's time to see what you shake out."
The magical girl was very interested.
"The game is over, good night everyone!"
The elf girl quickly ran back to the room.
The night was getting darker and darker, and everyone gradually returned to their rooms to rest.
…
The main itinerary on the second day is to visit the more famous attractions in Senmai City, which are basically focused on natural scenery.
Elze led the four of them slowly through the streets of the city.
The skeleton also put on a windbreaker, and walked around the city alone with the 100 gold coins given by Xia Mi.
"Natsumi-sama, do you really trust me to go out alone?"
Xia Mi had no objection to this.
"As long as you don't reveal your identity. Even if your identity is discovered, don't tell your teacher's name."
"Received! Sir Xia Mi!"
At noon.
Five people were eating shaved ice at a dessert shop on the top of the mountain with a view of the entire sea.
Everyone's booths were by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the bright scenery outside came into view.
Lulea, who was sitting in the booth, frowned slightly.
Something feels wrong. Why are there always five people hanging out together? She doesn’t even have time to date Xia Mi alone!
Natsumi is waiting for the coconut flavored shaved ice with Lina.
At this time, a tall lady appeared next to the two of them. She was a middle-aged woman wearing luxurious clothes. Her face was well maintained, and her every move revealed a sassy and generous aura.
"Lina? Is that you?"
The two looked back.
The white-haired girl looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, her eyes widening in shock.
"Teacher Harlan?"
Xia Mi observed this pretty woman.
"It's really you, Lina~ I thought I recognized the wrong person~"
The woman named Harlan laughed happily.
The white-haired girl's expression of excitement spilled over her face. After hugging the teacher in front of her, she looked at Xia Mi excitedly.
"Xia Mi, this is the teacher who guided me on the path of a swordsman when I was adventuring outside!"
Xia Mi heard about it and became interested in Harlan.
"Hello, are you Lina's friend?"
Harlan greeted Xia Mi with a smile.
"Um."
Xia Mi nodded slightly.
"Is he also a swordsman?"
"No, just villagers."
"Eh~?"
Harlan wondered.
The career she had never thought of made her unable to answer for a while.
When Harlan looked at Xia Mi, Xia Mi felt that this woman's ability was definitely not weak.
Someone who could become Lina's teacher would most likely also be a swordsman with outstanding strength.
Harlan kept smiling and looked back at Lina.
"By the way, Lina, my seat is over there. Do you have time to chat with me? I haven't seen you for a long time. The teacher misses you very much~"
"Yeah. Please wait for me for five minutes. There are two friends here with me. I want to say a word to them."
"No problem. I'll wait for you over there."
The woman waved goodbye.
Card holder.
"Hey, the teacher Lina met when she was fighting against the Demon King?"
Everyone became curious. Elze, who was listening silently, also looked over with interest.
She always thought that this white-haired girl was just an ordinary little swordsman, but didn't she expect that she had participated in the Demon King's crusade?
"That should be an officially certified swordsman, right?"
The magical girl asked while eating chocolate-flavored shaved ice.
"Uh-huh!"
Lina nodded excitedly.
"Moreover, Teacher Harlan is very powerful! She also participated in the crusade against the Demon King, so I had the opportunity to meet her."
Xia Mi felt her pressure increase.
Defeating the Demon King... In other words, will he have to face such a troublesome person in the future...?
"Really?"
Lulea still didn't believe it.
"Yeah! By the way, let me tell you a secret. Teacher Harlan once secretly told me that her husband is Xiukas, the number one brave man in the Kingdom of Fes."
"Hey!" The three girls present were all familiar with this name.
"Is this the Sword Hero?" Elze asked in surprise.
"Um!"
Xia Mi frowned.
Wait, this isn’t right! Isn't Xiukas the sword warrior who was bullied by Luwaka and held the prairie on his head? It turns out that the woman just now was his wife!
"Then did she achieve any military exploits while defeating the Demon King?"
the elf girl asked.
"That's not true. I stayed with Teacher Haran for half a year and practiced with her. During this period, I encountered three battles. The teacher took me to kill some monsters on the edge of the battlefield and left the big battlefield to other adventure groups. . But once in the battle, the Demon King actually appeared."
The girls looked over nervously.
"Then what?"
"Then the teacher went deep into the enemy camp alone, and after a night of fierce fighting, he single-handedly defeated the devil..."
"This is the so-called mainstay. In the battle, the ordinary demon king's army is handed over to the juniors, so that the juniors can be trained, and then I can challenge the strongest demon king."
Shit! He must have had an affair all by himself! I can no longer face the word fierce battle!
"That's all, everyone, I want to catch up with the teacher for a while. You don't need to wait for me. I will go back to the villa later."
The white-haired girl waved her hand, stood up and left the booth.
"Xia Mi, you look so strange..."
Lulea noticed that Xia Mi's eyebrows were trembling.
"I just hope that the teacher won't teach Lina some strange knowledge."
No, I’ve already finished teaching!
The brave girl has now directly become the demon envoy who lusts after the Demon King's body!
"I remembered that I had something to do, so I took the first step."
However, Xia Mi was not allowed to dwell on it any longer. It was already the second day of the trip and there was still work to do in this city. He stood up and left the booth.
Not long after, the magical girl planned to buy local specialties and magic products, take a look around, and then left alone.
Lulea sighed boredly.
Playing alone is no fun at all.
"Elze, do you have the ability to stalk people without being discovered, and even if they are discovered, they won't be able to tell who you are?"
The purple-haired girl was sweating slightly.
Eh. Has the identity been discovered?
She really has this ability...
"No, no...Miss Lulea..."
"Then let's go back to the villa."
The elf girl dejectedly ordered three cups of shaved ice with different flavors.
"I'll just go back and lie down on the beach chair. Anyway, the lifespan of the elves is so long, it's okay to just lie down for a day occasionally."
"so envious……"
…
afternoon.
Xia Mi and the magical girl came back fifteen minutes apart.
"Hello, please check for today's newspaper~"
Senmai's dedicated postman put a newspaper in the villa's mailbox.
Elzer, who was in the living room, took the newspaper back.
In the small garden, the elf girl lying on the beach chair remained motionless.
"Elze, can you tell me something interesting that happened today?"
"sure."
Elze came to the garden, and Xia Mi and Sai Li were also there.
She opened the newspaper, and the headline was about the robbery of the Senmai Bank vault, and the news that the whole city was offering a reward for the [Various Phantom Thief], and the corners of her slightly raised mouth froze.
"Well, Senmai's bank was robbed. The newspaper said that a total of 200,000 gold coins were robbed."
Xia Mi, who was drinking water, spat out the water with a pop.
"200,000?"
The purple-haired girl felt sullen and nodded gloomily.
The 200,000 yuan was almost hers!
"Um."
Come on, he got a little more than 50,000 gold coins in total.
Damn it, bank executives, these profiteers, took the opportunity to wipe out some of the stolen money they usually stole, right?
Lulea and Saili looked at Xia Mi.
Xia Mi coughed. It was difficult to explain anything in front of Elze, so I could only find an opportunity to explain again.
"Is there any more?"
"There is still one."
Elze continued to look, frowning strangely.
Because she saw her name again.
"This morning, more than a thousand books of different types were stolen from the three major libraries in Senmai City. There are many popular science books, travel books, cookbooks, adult magazines... The thieves left business cards in the libraries. , called the work of [Various Phantom Thief]."
Wait, why is she still carrying this crime? She didn't do anything like this this morning! Someone framed her for stealing books using her name! That bastard who stole adult magazines!
The purple-haired girl looked at the three of them in shock.
Xia Mi continued to drink water slightly unnaturally.
"It's really hard to evaluate this Diverse Phantom Thief... However, the Diverse Phantom Thief who can steal books may have his own reasons..."
"No, it's not..."
The purple-haired girl was so angry that she wanted to explain. In fact, she didn't have such a broad goal. She basically never stole books. She only borrowed them from the library as part of her duties.
And even if she was stealing books, she wouldn't steal books like notebooks. But the next moment, she saw her name in the newspaper again.
"At noon today, in Senmai Zoo, a group of flame long-necked birds were suddenly frozen into blocks of ice. In the museum area, a card with [The Cardcaptor Hates Long-necked Birds] was left. It can be confirmed that this case is a big one The probability is also made by [Magic Thief]."
"Hey, you are really active, the Phantom Thief."
The elf girl sighed.
"This, this must be a false accusation! Why did the Phantom Thief freeze the long-necked bird into ice cubes for no reason! He is a thief, not a magician!"
The purple-haired girl's mouth twitched and she tried to speak in a calm tone.
Those two bastards stole her name and used it everywhere! This newspaper is quite thoughtful! Don't use the name of the Phantom Thief in everything! Harming a zoo animal and stealing something are two different things!
On the side, the magical girl beside the swimming pool stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to her natural state.
"Perhaps the ever-changing monster thief suddenly had a whim and wanted to see if the flaming long-necked bird could melt ice with its own flames."
Natsumi looked straight at the magical girl.
No need to explain, the ever-changing Phantom Thief in the zoo is you, magical girl! It’s better to do something meaningful in someone else’s name! If the cardinal thief learns about such a boring thing, he will be so angry that he wants to tear up the newspaper!
The words just fell.
Tear.
"Huh, sorry, I made a mistake when turning the page."
The purple-haired girl quickly put away the half-torn newspaper, her eyebrows twitching.
Don't let her catch those two bastards, or she will take off your underwear and walk around on the street with your faces in front of you!
I've finished writing the swimming pool chapter in the past two days, laying the groundwork, and then entering the main story.
(End of chapter)
