Chapter 425: Spiked Fence
Yulia's audience was rejected.
The guard at the Dharma King's residence told her that the Dharma King was in seclusion to pray to the shaman, and saw no one.
As a last resort, she had to turn back and explain the current situation to Kodera Makiko, and began to think about the next action.
Yulia was going to directly ask someone to bring a message for Yingxue to come here to see Xiaoji. This way we can discuss face to face what to do.
Otherwise, sending messages back and forth takes too much time.
Kodera Makiko was very uneasy and she had no idea, so she agreed to Yulia's suggestion.
However, she stated that she could not stay here any longer. After all, she is very unlucky, and if this continues, it may harm Yulia.
Yulia didn't care. I think that no matter how unfortunate it is, if I just hide it well, nothing will happen. So he insisted on keeping her.
Time passes like this day by day.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the day of the Mead Carnival.
"Hey, Erina-chan." Nao held two masks and asked Erina with a smile, "Which one do you want?"
"...Why are they all so uncute?" Erina looked at the masks with a pig head and a clown's smiling face respectively, and complained: "I bought them all, but why don't I choose something cute? Like dumplings and dumplings!"
"Oops. I think wearing an uncute mask makes it harder for people to stare at you."
"But that would be super eye-catching, okay..." Erina sighed, took the clown mask and put it on her face: "...This thing has a strong smell of paint. It's a bit choking...is it okay? You will get leukemia."
"No. This is not made of modern chemical paint." Nao put the pig head mask on his face, looked at the gray and badly cracked mirror, and nodded with satisfaction: "It feels like Not bad! At this point, according to the standard plot of a horror game, I should be holding a bloody butcher knife and wearing a bloody leather apron!"
"Uh, butcher?"
"Is he a perverted murderer? A scary guy who kills people and hangs them on hooks in the refrigerator! I don't know who made the rules, but many guys who do this in European and American independent horror games wear pig head masks. Oh? Do I feel terrible when I wear it like this? "
"What you call scary is the bunny ears sticking out from behind the mask and shaking... I don't think it's scary at all. Even if a beautiful girl is dressed up like this, she will only be thought to be super cute by astringent people."
"Hey~ Is Erina-chan such a bitter person?"
"Don't look down on me! You are the kind of guy who is a servant! Seeing you wearing this will only make me want to eat fried pork head... It doesn't matter if you add a little more pepper!"
"Pig head...meat? I've never eaten anything like this."
"Next time we pass by a town that looks like China, try it. It's quite delicious... Just don't imagine its ferocious expression when you eat it... You'll feel cursed if you do."
"Hehe...Okay, Erina-chan~ Let's talk about what we have to do today, shall we?"
"Isn't it just to follow the wine truck, drain the barrel of wine and vinegar before the parade ends, and then go in and hide?"
"Ah! That's what I'm talking about - I think it takes too long to pour the wine on the spot? And although we found that there is a river near the carriage, the river water will change a little after the wine is poured. Wan What will you do if you are discovered?"
"Well, it won't change much. It won't be noticed during the night... Anyway, you mean to pour out half of it? And then we soak in it?"
"That's not true. That would make your whole body sore. I was wondering if we could move our hands and feet earlier?"
"……How to say?"
"Let's act before the wine is loaded into the truck and replace it with water!"
"But you still haven't solved the problem of pouring water... In the final analysis, we still have to soak in it, right? The dry food on us will suffer..."
"No, no, it's not necessary. They inspect the goods very early, so there is no need to inspect the goods before loading, right? So we can block the time and do this..."
"...Oh!" Erina's eyes lit up after hearing this: "It seems really feasible! Nao, you are such a genius, how did you think of it!"
"So, you can use this kind of magic, right? That's great!" Nao chuckled and added: "Actually, the reason why I thought of this was accidental...or should I say, it should be right? After all, before Just stay with Saye-chan!"
The idea Nao came up with took advantage of the characteristics of a water source summoned out of thin air using magic.
This water will disappear on its own after a while.
In this case, before they load the wine barrel into the car, they can pour out the wine vinegar and fill it with the water summoned by Erina.
Later, when the carriage sets off and waits at the predetermined location, the water in the barrel will disappear at a certain time. The two of them followed the carriage there and waited for a while. They judged that the bucket was empty and then looked for an opportunity to get in.
In this way, you can stay in the empty bucket and follow the carriage out of the city without anyone noticing.
The advantage of this is that the barrels were previously in a loosely guarded warehouse, making it easier to manipulate. Unlike carnival, there may be many passers-by and guards around, and anyone who touches the barrels may be regarded as a thief.
Now that I have decided to do this, I have to act earlier than previously planned.
Moreover, you must venture out during the day. Don’t put your mask on early before the carnival party starts yet.
Fortunately, there are many foreign tourists here. By splitting up and moving among the crowd, the possibility of being recognized can be greatly reduced.
And there was no additional information the two of them needed to know. In this way, just go to the Viscount's warehouse safely before the carriage departs.
It is very easy to sneak into this mansion.
Although there were a few guards at the Viscount's house, they were mostly concentrated at the gate. There is a guy who patrols the warehouse, but there are probably no thieves coming in and out every day, and he seems to be very lazy. He is just fishing for money.
In this way, Erina and Nao arrived at the fence of the mansion one after another, preparing to climb over.
Although the top of the iron fence is thorny, it can be completely ignored under the influence of Erina's spell - its top is set with a piece of ice summoned by the Underworld Miko. Nao was able to climb over easily and crouched on the ice to pull Erina up.
"Although I know it's okay, I always feel nervous when I have to climb this kind of fence." Erina looked at the spikes and took a deep breath: "I feel like I will be pierced and hung on it if I am not careful!"
