Cento and Cien were discussing how to find Kaito so that they could greet him and apologize for troubling him.
[The city is too big to randomly search for himā¦ā¦]
[Donāt worry, we can just use Wide-Area Detection Magic.]
[Wide-Area Detection? Iāve heard that Miyama Kaito-samaās blessing from Shallow Vernal nullifies most magic thoughā¦ā¦]
Hearing Cien mention searching Detection Magic, Cento tilted her head and asked.
[In that case, we can just track that Elf thatās with him.]
[I see! In that case, Iām counting on you, Cien.]
Even though theyāre twins, Cento and Cien have their own magic systems they specialize in, and Cien is basically better at using Wide-Area Detection Magic. After nodding with a smile to Centoās words about leaving the Wide-Area Detection to her, Cien created a magic circle around her feet and attempted to cast Wide-Area Detection Magic- ābut she immediately fell to her knees afterā.
[Cien!? Whatās wrong!? Are you alright!?]
[ā¦ā¦Urkkkā¦ā¦ Khaaakkā¦ā¦]
Seeing Cien collapse on her knees, pale and profusely sweating, Cento rushed over to her.
[I- I forgotā¦ā¦ That person stands beside Miyama Kaito-samaā¦ā¦]
[Cien? What in the worldā¦ā¦]
[The moment I activated the Detection Magic, before I could get any information, āthey interfered with my magic formula and forcibly canceled itā, and even ātraced it back to meāā¦ā¦ T- Their technique was on another level that before I knew it, I felt like a knife was being held to my neckā¦ā¦ Scaryā¦ā¦]
[Eh? T- That meansā¦ā¦]
Cien is one of the most powerful beings in the world, considered superior even among Count-ranks, and for her to describe someone as being on another level, considering their current situation, Cento immediately guessed what was going on.
As if to affirm her thoughts, a high-pitched voice came from behind them.
[Well, sorry about that. I knew it would be you two, but I just reacted on reflex. What happened earlier wasnāt intentional.]
The two of them couldnāt help but straighten their backsā¦ā¦ As for being that easily appeared behind them without being noticed by two high Count-ranks, they donāt need to hear the sound of chains in their robe to know who it is.
[ā¦ā¦P- Phantasmal King-sama.]
[B- By no means d- do we mean any harmā¦ā¦]
[Yes, I know that. I understand that you werenāt trying to harm Kaito-san or anything like that. So, what do you want?]
The two of them were frightened by Aliceās appearance as the Phantasmal King, but Alice knew that the two of them werenāt trying to harm Kaito.
Rather, Aliceās body, with its vast amount of combat experience, reflexively disarmed and dealt with the Wide-Area Detection Magic that was released in an attempt to find Kaito.
Bluntly speaking, Alice had already conjectured exactly what the two of them were looking Kaito forā¦ā¦ but for the time being, she wanted to hear it from them, so she showed herself to them.
Looking at each other once, Cento and Cien told Alice that they wanted to apologize for not recognizing Kaito and greeting himā¦ā¦ and for the trouble Tre had caused him.
Hearing this, Alice paused for a moment before speaking.
[ā¦ā¦I understand what youāre saying. That in itself isnāt really something I mind. However, hmmmā¦ā¦ Iād like you to refrain from doing that for now.]
[Does that mean it would be inconvenient for Miyama Kaito-sama?]
[I mean, you do realize that Kaito-san is in the middle of a date, right? If I tell him whatās going on, heāll most probably say heāll meet you two, and Iām sure Sieg-san will agree to thatā¦ā¦ but youāve already taken up a lot of his time today.]
In fact, as Alice said, if she told Kaito what was going on, he would meet them, and Sieglinde would also recommend that he do so.
However, after they finished their greeting to Funf, their date was often interrupted by the successive encounters and contacting the two of them, so Alice wanted to let the two of them spend some time together.
[ā¦ā¦Letās see. Iāll arrange a place where you can talk to Kaito-san at a later date. How about you apologize and say your greetings to him at that time?]
[Ah, yes. Our apologies for having Phantasmal King-sama mind us.]
[It is also not our intention to trouble Miyama Kaito-sama.]
[Thatās settled then. Iāll contact you laterā¦ā¦ Ahh, I also donāt think you need to apologize for Tre, because Kaito-san doesnāt really mind her antics. In fact, I think he would just tilt his head at you if you apologized.]
When they heard what Alice had said, Cento and Cien looked at each other with a slightly surprised expression on their faces.
[H- However, Esteemed Sister Tre had that personalityā¦ā¦]
[No, itās seriously okay. She isnāt even on the level that Kaito-san considers as āa weird personā. He knows a lot of people that are worse than thatā¦ā¦]
[ [ ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ ] ]
Cento and Cien wondered how that would make it any better, but they couldnāt say anything about it and only had indescribable expressions on their faces.
