Grais Mansion, home to the Viscount Grais, a Carriage with Duke Hiaccio family crest stop Infront of the mansion and five people step out of the carriage, one of them, Lady Air greet the butler that greet them Infront of the mansion
"Good morning Lady Air, it's nice to have you here with us today" [Butler]
"Good morning, pleasure is all mine, it have been a long time since I last visit this mansion, I hope me being here doesn't bring any inconvenience to the people living here" [Lady Air]
"Why of course not my lady, we are all delighted to have you today" [Butler]
Lady Air receive the warm welcome but she and Mr Wright know something amiss with the butler
(If I am not mistaken he is the head butler of Grais Family, he hide it pretty well but his nervousness is shown by a slight shaky voice and movement, This isn't a nervousness you would expect from a head of butler when someone of a higher position come to visit, most probably he is hiding something) [Mr Wright]
A simple greet and a simple gesture is all it take for Mr Wright to know from the start something is amiss. He being the head of butler in Duke Hiaccio household and having train other butler would know best if someone is nervous because of official visit or when hiding something
"Please allow me to guide you to the mansion" [Butler]
"By all mean" [Lady Air]
They enter the mansion and is greet by other who work there, once they enter the garden, Mile seeing the flower remember what she was told and run toward the flower
"Such a nice flower! Aunty Air, what is this Light blue flower call?" [Mile]
"Mile, that's not a nice behaviour to shown in someone else house" [Ray]
Ray get "angry" to Mile and scold her, and Rais come and pick her up, while lowering his body to Mile height, he secretly chant a spell
"Oh water, take a form and search this mansion and expose all it secret, water rat search" [Rais]

"Mile, this flower is call Ice flower, it's the flower that give Mesembryanthemum its name" [Rais]
"I see" [Mile]
After chanting the spell, Rais took Mile hand and lead her back to the group
"Sorry, it's her first time visiting other so she get very excited" [Mr Wright]
"It's fine, a kid should be energetic" [Butler]
Mr Wright and the head butler have an exchange of word, seeing his reaction, Mr Wright felt a bit of relief as no one seem to notice Rias Spell
The group proceed to enter the mansion where they were greeted by the noble family that live here.
"Welcome Lady Air, it's good to have you here" [Lady Grais]
"The pleasure is all mine" [Lady Air]
With that, the lady of the house and Lady Air have a pleasant chat with each other while the other accompanied both of them, the husband excuses himself as he got work to do. Mile is right beside Lady Air all this time observing if any black smoke came out of the lady, since Mile doesn't act strangely and Lady Air herself found she is most likely innocent, she continued the chat
(The wife might be innocent, she doesn't seem to chase us out as quickly as possible but her husband might be a different story) [Lady Air]
While walking, Ray seem to pick up a some distinct smell albeit faintly. Mr Wright and Rais notice the sudden changed in Ray expression ask him silently
"Anything that catch your attention young Ray?" [Mr Wright]
"I can smell multiple people and beastman enter that place there and some faint blood smell, but..." [Ray]
"I see now, I'll use another water rat search to those area" [Rais]
Ray have a genuine concern as he and the other doesn't find any beastman working here. He being a dog tribe beastman have a sensitive nose compared to other. He can pick up strange smell from afar or when it's concentration in the air is undetectable by most
Seeing that the three of them secretly eyeing that place, Lady Air ask Mrs Grais about that location
"That's is our storehouse, sometime people from the church will come there for doing business with my husband" [Lady Grais]
"What business?" [Lady Air]
"I don't know much detail about it, both the church and my husband are being vague about it" [Lady Grais]
(Could she be aware about what happen there and tries to hint us something or is it a trap?) [Lady Air]
Lady Air then look at Mile and she seem to trust the word that came out from Mrs Grais mouth. So she concluded that something must be happening there
After a long chat, Lady Air excuses himself first, bit before that
"Can I go and meet your husband? He have given me such wonderful hospitality here that I would like to personally thank him in person" [Lady Air]
