“I don’t think there’s any reason for you to be here.

And since it’s just ridiculous to put down your voice, why not just stop there?”

“Hmmmm~ I heard a familiar voice as I was passing by.

You still have a duller voice than that, right Deborah?

Do you think your gloomy expression hasn’t changed from the day before yesterday?”

“Yes… Sister Nell… … ?”

The person glared at the other person and responded with a cold voice. At Deborah’s razor-sharp words, the person gave Deborah a shoulder hug in a natural voice as if asking for help.

Unlike before, where he was dressed in tattered clothes that barely covered any part of his skin,

Now she is wearing a beautiful dress that shows off a seductive figure that would make any man’s eyes widen.

Anne’s expression was colored with surprise at Polcinella’s sudden appearance.

“Yo~ It’s been a while, disciple~

I don’t know what happened, but I got bitten by a snake-like guy?”

While Polcinella was greeting Anne, Deborah, who was a little taller than her, put her arm on her shoulder and seemed to be displeased, immediately put her arm away and appeared to be adjusting her clothes.

“I think it’s a good idea to stop going out to places where children play, Polcinella.

Now that we’re all old, there’s nothing wrong with being a fool.”

“Oh my, I really only came because I was invited?”

“You? Here?”

Deborah’s eyes seemed to slightly widen, perhaps because she was genuinely surprised by Polcinella’s answer.

“The Froden family prepares well for the party in many ways, right?

I was invited to be a storyteller today?

My countless experiences or my brilliant techniques?

Is it perfect for satisfying the sense of adventure and vicarious satisfaction of children in their prime?

If you’re lucky… I might tell you about my first hot experience… … ?”

She puffed out her chest forward as if proud, and began chattering with a confident voice just like she had seen before at the Paulo Pavilion.

And the men who follow me because they like me fill up ten carriages?

Well, it’s a lot better than not being as cute as you, right?

Of course you can’t be married, and you don’t have a boyfriend yet, right?

So, even when you get old, you still live alone?”

“ Instead of talking about it, they will run away and grab random kids and start stabbing them.

A crazy slut who only has a knife and a man in her head.”

“Yes~ A thousand year old spider web~

Ancient Talantula was also defeated~”

This is truly a representative example of the enemy of women: women.

Seeing him smiling and saying cruel things, even Anne, who was watching with tears streaming down her face, began to gradually grow tired of the atmosphere as if gravity was weighing down her body.

“Ah, it’s okay. We are close.

Are you a former academy classmate?”

Polcinella, who was making completely unbelievable and natural remarks toward Anne, who was looking at her with anxious eyes, was grinning and waving her hands.

Deborah turned her head and pretended not to notice what he was saying as if she was not interested, and then grumbled in an irritated voice. Then, she stood up and gently placed her hand on the handle of the sword as if it was not worth hearing any more.

“Even noise is a work of art.

I am dispatched from the Public Security Police Department and am carrying out official duties.

If you interfere further, I will have you arrested for not answering questions.”

“Oh my, me? It’s okay for me to get arrested.

They said they were going to tie me down so I couldn’t move, so there was no way I was going to miss that opportunity, right?

But how long will the front lines leave me alone?

I guess you haven’t heard what I’ve been doing?”

“Having a criminal like this as his disciple, he must have been doing something useless.”

“Is that too much? I even got a nickname…

I thought the ‘Bitch of the Frontline’ was quite famous?”

“What an annoying bitch.”

“Oh, really… Don’t be so picky, Deborah.

If you keep frowning like that, will wrinkles form on your face?

If we grow old together and only you turn into a scrawny old woman, would you consider how sad I would be as a friend?”

“The joke is over. As of now, I accept that you are challenging the public order police department.”

“So. What did I say?

Would you like to hear the story together?

And… … ”

In the end, Polcinella quietly approaches Deborah, who was about to draw her sword, and begins to whisper in her ear in a tone lower than her natural voice.

There wasn’t much change in her expression, but Deborah’s eyes were starting to narrow slightly.

“How did you get in? Even though it’s crowded now…

When I came in, I saw this… The security was pretty tight… … ?

There’s no way the Count of Froden would have let in a boss who was perfect for ruining a banquet so quietly, right?

I guess it’s true that an official document was brought… ?”

“……”

“Wow~ What is it? Undercover investigation? Secret investigation?

That’s an investigation that goes against the police department’s policies?

I’m so so curious that I want to scream out loud without even realizing it?

Local people!! It’s salty here!! Wow!! Eup!!”

“Shut your mouth.”

“Um, baby, let’s do it?”

In the end, Deborah pushed away Polcinella’s face with her hand covering her mouth, closed her eyes with an expression as if she would bury someone in the ground at any moment, and sat down in her seat with her legs crossed.

Anne, who noticed that things were going strangely while looking at Deborah, made eye contact with Polcinella.

Anne quietly watched Deborah’s reaction as she smiled as if to tell her not to worry, and gently sat down on her buttocks on the bedside she was lying on.

“Something annoying comes rolling in.

It’s like getting lost on the front lines.”

“I’m sorry it didn’t work out that way~

Still, I think I get the general idea.

Looks like you caught a pretty troublesome case?”

.

.

.

a few days ago.

Numerous men and women in uniform sitting at work with a restrained posture.

They were the investigators of the ‘Groden Kingdom Public Security Police Department’, who sometimes spent a busy daily life wandering around here and there carrying various documents and evidence.

Of course, like most other countries, they investigate various deeply rooted crimes and maintain public order by exercising public power.

“A3 case, this is data on the Fellanier family’s magical magic misfire incident.”

“Thank you. Oh, I’ve compiled a list of witnesses at the time, so go around and come back today.”

“Yes, I will. First, I will take Sergeant Bethel.”

However, the atmosphere could not be said to be bright, as they had recently been criticized by their superiors for failing to properly resolve the problems caused by the disappearance of the daughter of the Marquis of Grenot and the death of the daughter of Viscount Druwella. It was.

However, even today, they were running here and there to solve various cases.

“The situation report hasn’t arrived yet, right?”

“Yes, but I received a call saying it would be soon… ”

“Ha… Just say we’re going.

It’s better to just go quickly and get it done.”

The good news is that with regard to the disappearance of the Marquis de Grenot, orders were given from the higher-ups to quietly bury the incident, and no one was held responsible for the incident.

In addition, in the case of the death of Viscount Druwella, the circumstantial evidence at the time indicated that the accident occurred due to the deceased’s own mistake, so the investigation was virtually over.

From the perspective of an ordinary salaried worker, this would of course have been welcomed without taking responsibility for failure, but of course there were people who did not think of it that way.

Among the many investigators, an investigator who appeared to be of the lowest rank arrived at the place of a woman who was giving off a particularly cold and cold atmosphere.

“What is it?”

“I… Inspector Deborah…

The police officer is looking for you… … ”

“I will go.”

When Deborah heard that a superior was looking for her, she immediately stood up, dressed herself neatly, and began to walk. Every time Deborah passed by, people seemed to tremble and feel chills.

“Hi… !”

The place she arrived at was the police officer’s office.

The police officer was rummaging through the documents piled up in front of him, holding a small cigar in his mouth that gave off a luxurious-smelling smoke.

He glanced at Deborah standing in front of his desk and saluting, then waved his hand and immediately opened his mouth, saying that it was okay.

“We don’t have time for each other, so let’s get to the point.

What’s wrong with you?”

“……”

“Inspector Schwald said so.

I’m just saying that I have a lot of useless interests.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

The officer’s expression was slightly distorted by Deborah’s one word as she answered while looking at the empty space in front of her without the slightest change in her expression.

“What is the case you are currently in charge of?”

“This is the Raul Frederic drug death case.”

“Then why don’t you explain why you’re still looking around for completed cases?”

“……”

“Yes. The disappearance of the Marquis of Grenot, and the death of Viscount Druwella.

I heard that they are still personally investigating cases that have already been concluded.”

“The events are not over yet.”

“There remains sufficient eyewitness evidence regarding the death of Viscount Druwella.

That is enough to end the situation.”

“But that is just a simple sighting.

It wasn’t at all impossible to get the words together.

The strange on-site atmosphere, as well as the inability to properly explore actual on-site evidence… ”

“This is testimony from an academy security guard from a famous mercenary group, and above all, from the head of the Marquis de Polignac, putting his and the academy’s honor at stake.

Isn’t it true that you don’t understand what kind of trouble you’ll create if you mess around?

Aren’t you from the academy too? Still don’t know?”

“Just looking for the truth.”

“You mean the disappearance of the Marquis de Grenot?”

“Yes.”

“Haaa… … ”

The police officer took the cigar out of his mouth and exhaled a deep puff of smoke. He massaged his forehead with his half hand and sighed deeply.

“Do you have two lives?

No, I don’t think you can do that even if there are a hundred.

I’m speaking quietly now, so you can’t understand the mood?

Don’t you understand why the incident is being covered up?”

“I understand.”

“Then shouldn’t we act according to what we understand!!

I don’t know what kind of trouble it could bring about by going around poking around beehives like that!!”

As the police officer’s voice shouted loudly throughout the office, I suddenly felt the noisy atmosphere outside quiet down.

In fact, in the office where all the members of the public security police department had become quiet and there was only silence, Deborah, whose expression had not changed in the slightest, opened her mouth and faced his words head-on, without even moving a muscle.

“As an investigator in the public order police department, I always seek to reveal the truth of cases.

No matter who you are dealing with, even nobles and royalty, you cannot hide from your sins.

Those who have committed a crime that has caused someone to suffer, it is my job to bring them to justice.”

“I won’t tell you twice. Bury it.

And don’t ever think about it again.

Shouldn’t everything be done in order to investigate or do anything else?

Instead, the current case, yes.

Let’s properly investigate drug deaths.”

In the end, no matter how many times he said it, Deborah did not seem to understand, so the police officer took a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling trembling with anger, then closed his eyes and seemed to calm down his anger, then waved his hand and gave the order to congratulate the guests.

And when he spoke to Deborah’s back as she turned around and added a few words in a voice that sounded as if she was grinding her teeth, Deborah turned her head back slightly and seemed to reply calmly.

“To comply with the policy.

Obey orders from superiors.

You only have one life.

Please keep in mind that there are limits to covering your actions, even on my own.”

“I will do so.”

Deborah’s appearance as she opened the door to the office and left disappeared completely, and as the door closed again, soon after, sounds of someone throwing something and getting irritated could be heard from inside the office for a moment, but then it quieted down.
