Rayos announced the kidnapping.
Screams and the sound of whistles echoed through the town in the middle of the night.
His Yoko Fox Clan younger sister lay in wait in the execution room.
“Huh? Huh? Big sis?! Whhaaat!?”
What in the world was going on? Was it true?
She headed towards the servant’s resting room where her sister slept.
Her feet couldn’t see anything.
But she had night vision.
Her sister immediately thought of knocking, but.
The room’s door was flung open.
And then…
“Stinks!? What is this smell!?”
She was surprised by the smell in the room.
But as her nose got used to the smell.
She realized that the smell was the same one her eldest sister used to emit when she was making children with the man she had paired with in the past.
At the same moment she realized it. Why was it in the room where my sister was sleeping?
A question arose.
“No way, did my sister get involved with a bandit… a human? Leaving me behind?”
If so, it would be exactly like…
The woman who tried to use us as substitutes until a few decades ago?
The entrance was closed.
It must have been closed by the wind.
Looking closely, from the room to the outside.
There were water droplets.
Sniff sniff.
There was no smell.
Was it just water?
Even so, it was sticky.
“The bandit was human, right?”
“Oh! You’re safe, aren’t you!”
“The young lady! And you’re safe all alone!”
The soldiers running around the night road noticed her.
“My sister was kidnapped!?”
It’s probably. It can’t be eloping, or her disappearing and leaving me behind.
It must have been a kidnapping without a doubt.
“The residence is that…”
The soldier hesitated.
“I understand. You’re worried the culprit might return, aren’t you?”
“Ah, yes. And we need to investigate the scene… so I’m sorry, but could you please come with us to the guardhouse?”
Escorted by two people.
She glanced at the soldiers running around illuminating the night road with magical light as multiple people searched.
She headed towards one of the nearest guardhouses.
“We’ve cleaned, but I apologize for not being very clean.”
“No, please don’t worry about it!”
What she wanted now.
Was not a clean environment, nor being treated like an awkward noble lady.
She wanted to know her sister’s true intentions!
A few minutes later.
As she waited patiently in the guardhouse for information about the culprit.
From another guardhouse, a report came in that the kidnapper had been caught.
“Eh…”
Too fast. In other words, her sister used them for some purpose.
And then they were no longer needed. It was disadvantageous for them to not take their lives. The kidnapper who was surely captured was her sister.
The situation changed too quickly.
The soldiers, unable to comprehend, were left behind.
She turned to the soldier she had been relying on silently.
“I want to meet the captured culprit.”
“…”
When she approached him with teary eyes, the human man couldn’t refuse her request.
The soldier was also a man, desperately hiding his ulterior motive.
“I’ll take you. Someone!? The young lady wants to meet the kidnapper! Escort her!? Is no one going with me!?”
Explaining herself to each soldier they met.
To the guardhouse where her sister had been transformed and captured.
It took quite a while to arrive.
With soldiers following closely behind. It was annoying.
“Young lady!? Ah, I see…”
The person in charge of the guardhouse came out to see what was happening.
Seeing her there.
He seemed to understand.
She was guided to a room to investigate the guilt or innocence of the culprit, and.
She entered with several soldiers.
“You want to meet the culprit, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Hearing the contact from this guardhouse, I want to ask directly *her* what happened to my sister.”
“…Understood. However, please refrain from becoming overly emotional.”
She was thought to be capable of causing harm out of passion.
She would never do that to her sister!
Leaving two people behind her as guards and to restrain her.
She ordered the others to leave and bring in the captured kidnapper.
Immediately, the soldier who brought in the kidnapper appeared in the room.
“I didn’t kidnap anyone!? H-Hey! Young lady!? I’m innocent! At the time of the crime! I was on patrol with a friend! Ask my friend…–!”
Was something unexpected happening?
The kidnapper was wrapped up in ropes.
His face was the same face she saw her sister transform into that evening.
The soldier is a kidnapper. Did he hate his duty to protect the town’s security?
Was he secretly in love with her sister’s charm?
And then he decided to go through with it, lurking around the vicinity of the residence.
She speculated, but.
Where was her sister, who still hadn’t been found?
“Could you please calm down a little? I’ll listen to what you have to say. Please tell me in detail, step by step.”
“W-Waa… Only the young lady. You’re the only one who believes me…”
He started crying. How troublesome.
The person in charge probably felt the same way as her.
The expression on his face sitting opposite her. Was probably similar to the expression she wore.
“Sob sob… In the evening, there were two perverts in the vicinity of the residence, so I went to report to the butler who works at the residence.”
She wasn’t lying. She had heard so from her sister, in fact.
She had been waiting in *that* room.
“S-So, after reporting that to the guardhouse, I was doing paperwork with a friend when… *glance*”
“We were notified that a kidnapping had occurred, and you were searching for the culprit and my sister along with your friend.”
“That’s right! *Gasp*”
She suddenly raised her voice and lunged at her, so.
The guards behind her and the soldier who brought him in subdued him.
At that time. It seemed like one of the three people did something.
“Gasp. Ouch… I’ll remember this later. Ah, so, we asked for help from friends and others. We were running around the town at night, but a colleague from another guardhouse came and said, ‘Culprit secured!’ I really didn’t understand what was going on and ended up here all tied up like this… *glance*”
She looked at the soldier who brought him.
He must have been the one who apprehended him.
“I don’t believe there are any lies in his words.”
She asked the person in charge if it was a mistaken arrest.
“U-Um. It might be, but many people. Testified that it was that face…”
She couldn’t release him immediately.
Also, why was it this person’s face?
Wasn’t there some connection with the real culprit?
Until that investigation was over. He would be apprehended and under strict surveillance.
“Was it just his face?”
“Huh? Yes, that’s right. If he hadn’t been deliberately shouting in a changed voice. Many people confirmed that it was a completely different voice.”
Did her sister switch with someone halfway?
No. According to the eyewitness accounts.
The kidnapper was carrying someone.
If the kidnapper wasn’t her sister or this person.
It was someone else, and her sister was the one being carried.
Someone her sister would lose to… *gulp*.
Of course, she had to rescue her kidnapped sister, but.
She wanted to play with the culprit! ♡ This was clearly a higher-tier opponent than any thief so far.
It would undoubtedly surpass the highest record with ease.
Ahhh~ ♡
“I’ll help too, so let’s catch the real culprit.”
“No, we can’t let the young lady do such a thing. If the town and other influential people (nobles) find out, we will be overwhelmed with inquiries, which will delay the search for the real culprit and endanger your sister’s safety. Please wait for the good news of the real culprit’s arrest in the building we have prepared.”
Since the fact that her sister was kidnapped had already gotten out (information).
Inquiries would be flooding in either way.
But if her younger sister was there.
The inquiries would not be made public, so.
She believed the investigation for the real culprit would proceed.
“…Thank you for your cooperation.”
She persuaded him.
Wait for me, sister! And you too, kidnapper! ♡
