With Aurora and Azumi back in the castle, the worry about their well being disappear, but they didn't tell anyone that they are back which suprise both of the group when they suddenly see those two taking it easy at the castle
"Why didn't both of you inform me that you have arrived?!" [Alfin]
"We didn't want to get in the way of your investigation, so we thought it would be the best to take it easy for awhile in the castle" [Azumi]
"Don't you guys have any idea how worry all of us were!? Plus for someone that just come back from subjugating an S rank demon, you guys look way too lively" [Alfin]
"That's because we have met Mahsuri herself and she heal us" [Azumi]
"Huh!? Are you serious!" [Alfin]
"He is, both Azumi and I met her just after we defeat the Ice Queen, we are in pretty rough state during that time but her healing power was simply amazing" [Aurora]
"So, did she mention anything, anything about Ishmelga" [Alfin]
"We didn't ask much yet, but that thing can be put hold for a moment, right now the slave merchant case took priority" [Azumi]
"But..." [Alfin]
"Relax, she won't run away, both of us can assure that" [Azumi]
"... understood, but that still doesn't explain why you don't tell us you guys have safely arrived" [Alfin]
"I give up" [Azumi]
"WHAT WAS THAT!" [Alfin]
"Nothing" [Azumi]
Alfin continue to lecture both Aurora and Azumi, while Aurora have a sense of guilt in him, Azumi on the other hand take the opportunity to tease Alfin as to make her stop
"Brother Azumi, you should just reflect on your action, you too Captain Aurora" [Kucin]
"Not you too Kucin" [Azumi]
"And what do you mean by that!" [Kucin]
"Nothing" [Azumi]
During dinner, once Alfin have calmed down, all of them gather at the dining hall to once again discuss their findings. Mrs Kirthiga, having just arrive was shocked to see both Azumi and Aurora in such fine condition, but didn't bother to ask much as she have confidence in their fighting capacity
During the discussion, Azumi and Aurora mentioned about their fight and how they managed to find Mahsuri, but ask that this matter to be hold so that they can focus on the current issue
With that, Kucin and Mrs Kirthiga proceed and tell their finding with everyone listening closely
"I see, so there are some of my student that have taken this matter their own hand, I must said i felt proud of them" [Alfin]
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"I agree with you Alfin" [Azumi]
"Well, they are well behaved, as the guild master, I have no doubt about their report, plus Filaurel report also suggest the same thing" [Mrs Kirthiga]
"Yes it is, but even we from the first knight squad have to agreed that their report are more well documented than us" [Filaurel]
"Don't belittle yourself too much, you guys only been here for a short duration of time whereas those Alumni have investigated this matter beforehand, so give yourself some credit" [Aurora]
"Thank you Captain Aurora" [Filaurel]
"I believe we could use the second floor of the restaurant as a stakeout, Cupid already give their permission, so long as you guys can follow one request from her" [Kucin]
"And that is?" [Alfin]
"Good that you ask Sis Alfin, she want you, Brother Azumi and Duke Hiaccio family to dine at her restaurant so that her restaurant popularity will skyrocket" [Kucin]
"""Consider it done""" [Alfin, Aurora, Azumi]
Alfin, Aurora and Azumi reply at the same time, and after further discussion, they agreed that they should visit the stakeout tomorrow to prepare beforehand
And then Alfin give them the report finding of the noble investigation
"So you can't really determined their number?" [Aurora]
"Sorry Captain Aurora, Lydia and I have tried our best but still" [Blanc]
"Aurora, don't bully my poor students like that" [Alfin]
"Im not, in fact i am sincerely impressed about their method of investigation" [Aurora]
"Same here, can you teach me later Blanc?" [Azumi]
"Are you sure Teacher? Surely you can do better than I am plus you teach us at the school" [Blanc]
"There's no guarantee that I would do better anyway, plus in learning you should not be picky about whose your teacher" [Azumi]
"Nicely said Azumi" [Alfin]
"Teacher, Princess, Im, Im... alright I will teach you whenever you like!" [Blanc]
"Thank you Blanc" [Azumi]
Duke Hiaccio then interfere the talk for a moment
"With Aurora and Azumi here, plus with the slave will be sold to the church two days from now on, It's better for all of us to strike at the third night" [Duke Hiaccio]
"Agreed, Aurora, as Alfin said can you take care of the noble investigation team, I will take care of the Dark Guild" [Azumi]
"Yes, with us noble involved, the church and those noble won't have much to said afterward, Albert can you prepare us some force" [Aurora]
"Yes I will" [Albert]
"Should I continue monitor the church" [Clair]
"Just send some person to do it Clair, if you go there by yourself, it will create more harm than good" [Aurora]
"Understood" [Clair]
"And Mrs Kirthiga, how about the adventure? We from Duke Hiaccio family will lend some of our soldiers there but we might be short handed ourselves" [Aurora]
"Don't worry about it Captain, I have prepared the list beforehand and I myself will join this operation at the third night" [Mrs Kirthiga]
"That's reassuring" [Aurora]
With Aurora instructions, the three of them get the task that should be performed tomorrow
"Thank you Aurora for just now, as for the other, you guys should continue your investigation as usual" [Alfin]
They all nodded to Alfin order and with that the discussion come to a halt
