"In that case, do you have any evidence? I wonder if a system that can convict people based on reasoning alone is reasonable."

"It must be a misunderstanding." A masked NPC walked out of the crowd. The difference between him and the others was that he was a Fatui.

While Chu Xia was hesitating, the other party said, "This Miss Xia is a distinguished guest of our "North Country Bank"."

"She's a new member of the company. There's no reason to frame a stranger. I can unilaterally guarantee her character in the name of the North Country Bank, okay?"

"We, the Northland Bank, will bear all consequences. This is my business card. You are a member of the Tenryo Fukyo, right?"

"That's right. Miss Xia is Mr. Thomas's fiancée, so she definitely wouldn't kill anyone."

"Thomas's character is beyond words. We all know him well. The people he likes are definitely trustworthy."

"I believe in Miss Xia, too."

"What's going on?" More and more people came to watch the fun, blocking the road.

The nearby little leader was wearing classic samurai attire and looked righteous, "Heizo, are you in trouble?"

"These people are gathered here, but is there any new progress in the case?"

"Not yet.", feeling the pressure.

Shikanoin Heizo was just conducting a normal investigation. Those words were just a common fishing tactic.

Take Chu Xia back and interrogate her, and a lot of things will be clear. On the day she came to Inazuma, someone lost a knife.

The timing was quite fortuitous.

On the same night, a murder case with an evil knife occurred.

"I'll come to you with evidence."

"Let's go."

Seeing that the leader of the Fatui and the small leader of the Tianling Bugyo also left, Thomas was still wondering if it was just a coincidence.

Maybe Chu Xia is not simple at all.

The guy from Northland Bank actually came out to bail her out.

This background is worth reporting to the head of the family even if it happens to Inazuma.

Although Chu Xia was also curious about the reason why the Fatui came to help, he didn't expect that Shikanoin Heizo's boss would also appear here. That guy was just hanging out nearby at the beginning.

It felt like an NPC who had triggered a mission came to give the mission. Maybe the people also came to help in exchange for bribes.

Shikanoin Heizo is just a detective character, right?

Chu Xia noticed that he had the Eye of God.

"Let's go back. You just need to clean up these dishes today and wait for me to come back and cook."

"Ok."

Chuxia found a basket and sat in the courtyard of Kamisato's house.

This time is the busy eight or nine o'clock.

A purple bug fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard, gnawing at the wooden floor which was old but not worn out.

A creaking sound.

The floor is usually well maintained, and Chu Xia will occasionally help clean it.

"Don't destroy public property," she said, as she was about to catch the beetle. But someone got there first and caught it.

The white sleeves hang down to the ground, and from top to bottom, the dress gives a sense of nobility and coolness.

The sound is unique and catchy.

It was rare to see Ayato during the day, and even rarer still to see him catching bugs here.

Chu Xia looked at his overall look. No matter what this man was doing, he would look very formal because of this outfit.

It seems like he is hosting some event.

He was holding the bug now, with a relaxed look on his face, and a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Chu Xia had never seen the characters in this world change their appearance. At most, they would just take off their coats.

So when she proposes to change clothes, will Xiao's defense be broken?

Even if Ayato is just poking at a bug's wings, he still looks like a Mary Sue hero.

Oh my god...

Is he acting in an idol drama?

That doting look was directed at a bug.

The giant beetle waved its large pincers at him in a majestic manner, but Ayato just treated it as a cute toy.

"Is this your ghost beetle?" He poked its horn a few times with his hand as if casually.

The ghost beetle struggled for a while, but was touched and started to resist violently.

"You've plucked all the leaves in your hand, leaving only the roots. My dinner will be ruined. Xia, what are you thinking about?"

His voice is so nice.

Chu Xia was in a daze.

Every part of Ayato is exquisite, including her hairstyle that makes her look like a wife, hanging down by her ears, revealing her beautiful pointed ears.

"Thomas would be disappointed if he saw you looking at me like that," he merely teased her.

Seeing Chu Xia's absent-minded look, he smiled and said, "It's impolite to stare at a man's face."

"Maybe I need to teach you the correct sense of distance."

"Are you listening to me?"

"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about that detective." Chuxia was distracted in front of Ayato.

He showed her the bug and said, "But I'll forgive you for now. Thomas asked me to take care of his little relative."

"If you get into trouble, Thomas will help you sort it out."

"The housekeepers of the company are not just good at housework. You have to work hard too. Stop being so dazed."

"Go do your work." Another powerful subwoofer.

Chu Xia felt like she would be willing to listen to him all day long without getting bored. How could someone be born so perfect?

The designer deserves a thumbs up, and the dubbing is perfect!!

"It's just a small matter, I believe you wouldn't do such a thing. What is this..." Ayato suddenly saw a note.

"Let me see.", sticking to the underside of the ghost beetle's belly.

"It's very dangerous." Chu Xia wanted to grab its feet.

Ayato then let go of her hand and said regretfully, "I miss it so much. I would occasionally play with this kind of bug when I was a kid. I have to go to work now."

“I’m still a little reluctant.”

"Don't be lazy either."

"Tell Thomas to bring me something refreshing."

"sleepy."

"Okay." Seeing the note fall to the ground, Ayato walked away as if he didn't see it.

Chu Xia thought he was really generous.

Not only did he express his tolerance for her, but he also comforted her for the grievances she had suffered today.

Now she didn't care who was contacting her, she just wanted to know who sent the message. "What the hell?"

The note contained a person's name, Aradaki Ichito.

There’s even a self-portrait, done in a very abstract style.

Chu Xia threw it on the ground and stepped on it.

Just when I thought there was no more useful information, I noticed that there was a folded restaurant promotional leaflet hidden in the middle.

It doesn't seem stupid.

Just looking at the note, even if you saw it, you would just think it was a child's prank. There was only a signature on it.

Sticking the note on the bug is asking me out?

It just so happened that Chu Xia was also a little bored.

I decided to go for a walk while no one was around, as I remembered Inazuma Castle is a bit far away.

Kamisato-yashiki is quite far from there, and one has to walk through a dense forest that is said to be haunted.

It's called the "Forest of Defense".

just forget it.

It's getting late now and we need to make lunch soon, so we should wait until Thomas comes back.

"A friend is looking for you?" Thomas heard about this after coming back from outside and drank a glass of water handed to him by Chu Xia.

"Then let me go with you."

The other party's location was "Uyoutei", which is said to be difficult to book. Although it is just a Yaki Torii.

It is very popular in Inazuma.
