IAWWMSP Chapter 466 – Suspicious Individual and the Simulacrum Model
“H a pleasant chat with the other dignitaries fro off, so I excused myself from them and went to a less crowded place to check it
H akure shi+zuku was one of the three kunoichi girls under Tsubaki froe she had sent, and as soon as I saw the title of the e title read “Suspicious Individual Sighted” There was also a photo attached to thea pale pink dress and a red do about her… Just what exactlysuch a weird face”
As I was coht about how the woman in the picture looked sus, Elze suddenly called out to me What do you mean weird face…? Ithat everyti I just got this weirdthat should be kept secret, so I showed theweird about it from a wo, sus, I’d say Perhaps, they’re padded”
“Oi, that’s not what I meant”
Elze stared intently at the photo whilst viewing it in a strange perspective Ibut, I don’t think that’s the reason shi+zuku sent this to ht? Uh, but… shi+zuku and Elze are quite similar, aren’t they? I mean they’re both flat
“Oow!”
“Just now, you were thinking of soh! My arm! It hurts, you know! Kkkk… Man My wives has such a keen sense of intuition that it makesof everytiht then, can’t be helped… I can’t call her in the o meet her and ask what this mail is all about
Fortunately, my clothes were fancy that it wasn’t that different fro All I had to do was put on led with the out for a bit”
“Wait, wait! I wanna go with you too! I wanna leave from this hellish place!”
Leave fro to parties that you weren’t used to is pretty tiring… but, this is, in a sense, an obligation you have to fulfill, you know?
As I was hesitating, Elze clasped her hands together and looked as if she was preparing to beg with her pleading eyes
“Pleaaasee? Just for a while Pleasee?”
“…If it’s only for a while, then”
“Yay!”
damn it! I can’t really refuse this wife ofeyes of hers It see her womanly charms I mean It’s pretty effective
It can’t be helped I feel sorry leaving the others behind, but I will be going down together with Elze for a bit
Right as ere about to leave, Sakura suddenly came towards us from who knohere with a swoosh
“It’s not fair that only you two could sneak off so too”
“…You were listening weren’t you?”
“Fufun You know that ift I received from your divinity, after all” Sakura said as she looked at ht Her dependent trait『Super Hearing』manifested because she had become my retainer which made her benefit fro et out of here for a while”
“Ah, thathi, “Oh, our country’s also quite interested in those kinds of things,” right?”
The Dehter in a formal way and as a leader of a country, so it’s not that I don’t understand the reason he’s doing it, though
“Let’s hurry up and go before the Deht”
I hope that the de this, but I know it’s already too late
I activated【Teleport】and transported the three of us into a waiting room on the first floor, then asked them to wear the masks I had taken out There wasn’t any problem for me, but Elze’s dress and Sakura’s hair stands out a bit, so I used【Mirage】to make their looks more subdued
“Etto where’s shi+zuku at”
I searched where shi+zuku was using the search function on my phone, and it indicated that she was in a corner of the courtyard It was hard to identify who the person was because of the mask, but with my phone, it was a piece of cake
We left the waiting rooh a corridor that was connected to the dance hall,masked men and women in the dancehall until we reach the courtyard While on the way, a man tried to call out to Elze, but she spotted hi to my arm as alked
“I-it’s better for us i-if alk this way, got it? I-I mean W-we’re married, so it’s not weird, okay?!” Elze turned red and started talking as if she was in a panic Well, it’s a le men and women, so I don’t think people would notice that erethis way makes me happy as well, so I’m very OK with it
“Me too”
Sakura said as she rustled toto my arm The state I am in may not be bad from my perspective, but If alk like this, especially in aparty, ould definitely stand out
As we entered the garden area of the courtyard,the attendees enjoying theroups Eh? Princess Ririel wasn’t in the same spot she was in before when I saw her Did she went off to so with her phone again, though
“Oho, isn’t that shi+zuku over there?”
“It’s her? I can’t really tell though because of thenext to the fountain don’t have any traces that are sih, I was certain that it was her, or at least, that’s what my intuition toldquite perfectly To be sure, I activated ht』to check if it was really her, and what I saw beneath the mask was the familiar face of shi+zuku Yup, confirmed
“Oooi, shi+zuku~!”
“Eh? Who’s callin—ah! Your Highness!”
I immediately removed my mask off and revealed my identity to her These masks couldn’t be removed or forced off by someone, but if the mask’s wearer tries to take it off themselves, they can do it quite easily
“I saw your text Ah, these two here are Sakura and Elze, so don’t worry”
“Ah, I understand I’ you come all the way out here”
“No, it’s perfectly fine We were in the o down and leave the floor as well So? Where’s this suspicious person you were talking about?”
“She’s over there”
I followed shi+zuku’s gaze as she glanced towards a group of around five people and saw the person she was talking about She earing the same pale pink dress in the photo Her hair was tied up in a bun She looked kind of like 20-ish, which was quite older than us There was a pearl necklace wrapped around her neck, and a pair of sapphire earrings on her ear She looked like an ordinary wo I could really say was that she really has those big boings on her
“Uh, what’s really suspicious about her?”
“You can’t notice it? You see, I’ve been disguising o to infiltrate soht I re shi+zuku, she said that she was skilled in disguising herself, and I even saw it firsthand I was so iine how she does it without the help of uise myself, it’s not just the costume, but the way I act, my mannerisms, and the way I speak needs to be considered in order to htest mistake, I’d be found out That’s why I have this habit of observing so suspicious about that woman”
shi+zuku explained to me in detail But even as I took a closer look at the wo suspicious at all… but there’s this uh, feeling? Like, there’s so off about her
“…She’s too pretty”
“Eh? Even though she’s wearing a mask, you could tell?”
“No, that’s not what I meant It’s not her face, it’s her movements, movements, okay? There are no deviations, or rather, hesitations to hera fixed ain”
At Elze’s words, I once again looked at the woman, but more attentively this ti to say The way she laughs and the way she speaks seeraht just be us being quick on ju to conclusions I mean, maybe, isn’t it just her natural mannerism?
“Grand Duke, she see, Sakura?”
What the hell,weird about her at all? Ah, I’ to lose my confidence I’ve been called “slow” many times before but I don’t mean to be slow, you know!
