Chapter 184.2. Getting Ready To Go Out

-Miu’s POV-

“It’s best to eat in secret, you know.”

“Yeah, I got it!”

I was amazed when Nimue taught me that. It was an eye-opener.

“Nimue, I have something to talk to you about.”

“Huh? Isn’t that common sense? Why do you always grab my collar?”

For some reason, Ranko-san, with a fierce expression on her face, grabbed Nimue’s collar and dragged her away. It felt like a scene from a novel.

After telling the twins to rest, I returned to the bedroom and dived onto the bed. I wrapped myself in the soft blanket, summoned my clone, and teleported to My Room.

“Siblings are the best, aren’t they?”

“It was at the level of human body modification.”

“They had that much potential from the beginning!”

When I stormed into the living room, I saw Grandpa Odin drinking wine while tinkering with a terminal. He said something means.

Well, it’s because of the twins’ potential. There’s no doubt about it.

“Well, no matter what, newborn babies are inherently unstable. It’s probably best to stop using recovery magic on them. There’s a high possibility that those twins have developed highly advanced abilities.”

“I know that. But isn’t that also the twins’ potential?”

I plopped onto the sofa and puffed up my cheeks. I said I was sorry, didn’t I?

“There was a possibility that they could reach the highest level of genetic potential. If ‘healthy’ and recovery magic weren’t defining factors, they might have started walking and contemplating their existence right there.”

I stared at the one-eyed gaze and nodded, sweating nervously.

“Well, let’s stop it now.”

“Well, that’s still interesting, though.”

“Keep the last line in your heart.”

You’re seeking wisdom too much, seriously.

I don’t want to see a newborn baby becoming a philosopher right after birth. Let’s stop that. I waved my hand at Grandpa Odin, whose eyes were shining brightly, and gave him a stern look.

“Hehe, that’s what makes Odin a god, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

I returned the same stern look to Frigg-oneesan, who had already gathered around. Gods can be troublesome.

“So, it was Se-chan and the others who visited Loki. Why did you go?”

“Well, that’s unclear. But I know who the attackers were.”

As Freya tried to place the tea in front of Mii-chan, she stopped with her hand. She doesn’t need it because I’m going to sleep.

“The attackers were the Tasukaru who came to the Takano house the other day. They brought the remaining elite members to assassinate Sena-san and the others.”

Freya spoke hesitantly as she sat down next to me. Hmmm? Those guys again.

“Assassination business must be profitable.”

“It’s the opposite. The recent failure was quite painful. After all, almost all of the members got captured, so the evaluation seems to have plummeted.”

Frigg-oneesan said with her flowing blonde hair, raising a bewitching smile. Hmmm? Is that so?

If everyone gets caught, not only are they useless, but it also increases the risk of exposure to the clients. It becomes an organization that they don’t want to use.

“But then, what’s the point of targeting Se-chan’s life? Doesn’t it seem pointless?”

“W-Well, there was a c-client who requested it. You know about the cargo arrangements that Washizu was making, right?”

“Yeah. It was foolish to try to gather that cargo in such a short time.”

Even if they were secretly scheming, trying to gather New Year’s cargo in that kind of time would attract attention.

It became a good bait to expose the nobles behind the scenes, but I should have informed the Samurai Corps that they were related to the warehouse district explosion.

“The authorities reached the moderately influential viscounty and the impoverished county. Moreover, the evidence was insufficient.”

Frigg-oneesan answered, shrugging her shoulders, but I anticipated that. It was planned that way. Buying lost cargo doesn’t make it a crime. I discreetly provided information to the warriors for another reason.

I crossed my slender legs and puffed up my chest with a proud look.

“They were actively working in the shadows, and it was important for everyone to know. That’s why it gets exposed in such a highly publicized incident. Even with insufficient evidence, the Emperor and the surrounding nobles will be on guard.”

“The current incident is the result of that. With reduced dealings and distance from the surrounding nobility, someone who was anxious came up with the idea of assassinating the saint.”

“Who instigated it?”

“It’s unclear. It might have been through verbal communication or telepathy… It doesn’t show up in the information network. Even those who were monitoring the commotion are in the same situation. Someone is manipulating them. If things go well, they can improve their position.”

“But there are few nobles who can achieve that…”

Mulling over the problem seriously, she pressed her little finger against her puffed-up cheek.

“This is a difficult issue.”

“H-How about the Kanna Dukedom?”

“Don’t jump to conclusions. This world is also a reality. It’s not good to assume it’s the Kanna Dukedom from the start. After all, this incident didn’t exist in the original story.”

Taking out the consciousness of the evil spirit, or rather my past life, from the vault after a long time, I pondered. The purpose is unclear. Why would they target the saint? I remember there was also the heir of the Aguni Dukedom.

“Could there have been something troublesome for that person? Something serious enough to warrant killing the saint.”

“As Odin said, that’s a possibility…”

What could have happened? Besides, before Shin, did she has a childhood friend he liked?

Having a childhood friend is a losing flag… Did they die or transfer schools? Transferring school is impossible, so did they die?

“Well, forget it. The enemy’s identity is unknown. I’ll subtly ask Sena what she’s investigating.”

“Did you promise to meet with a Royal Family member?”

Slapping her hands together to decide, Frigg-oneesan poured mini gold nuggets into her coffee and asked with a puzzled look.

“Yeah, Se-chan said she’ll participate in tomorrow’s Hornbear Cow Hunt!”

Returning to her Mii-chan mode, she smiled and replied with a sparkle. Sena suddenly contacted Yamiyo, she wants to participate, but I wonder what it’s about.

And by the way, gold nuggets don’t replace sugar cubes, okay?
