481 Famous Detective (2/2)
”With a wife like that, it's normal for him to turn into a pervert who peeped at beautiful women. What's more, who told them to dress like that and not be self-aware. Did you not notice those young guys peeping at them? If one notes down suspects into the handbook under those pretenses, then I'm afraid it'll be immediately filled up.”
Mary's chest had the soldier's crest of the absolute gentlemen's alliance, and she wore the women's outfit for the four elemental swordcasters. Four elemental swordcasters was a magical sword occupation where soldiers could not wear armor for flexibility, wearing rather few clothes. However, the higher-ups at the gentlemen alliance were a bunch of... Mhm. Everyone knows.
Their top was silver enchanted chainmail armor and their inner clothing were tight and limited in area, which especially accentuated certain areas. The entire body was covered by a long red and blue trench coat. What couldn't be seen was more attractive than what could. They said it was a soldier's armor, but one might as well call it an evening ball gown.
It looked completely modern and fashionable, sexy but not in poor taste, and it completely exceeded modern beauty standard. She was a rare piece of art.
As for the anti-holy knights, they were even more over the top. Their elegant and beautiful silver armor covered most critical parts of their body, and yet they revealed some insignificant areas. For example, the area where the thigh and body met, the arm which exposed two fingers and the elbow, the collar which exposed the nape, and the front which exposed the abdomen below the chest. The entire armor and traditional bucket-like composition were two different things. However, the outer shape of the armor made them look like an elegant silver mechanical lady. Their body shape was elegant and exquisite to no end with those revealing areas. On top of it all, the dark elves were naturally charming, yet with a kind of fallen beauty.
”Tsk, tsk. As expected of dark elves; they dare to wear anything. Does this have nothing to do with you?”
The silly cat always seemed to be sensitive over random matters.
”...How could I have known that they would really pull it off! This one outfit can make two full-armored outfits. Geez...”
”A waste?”
”Well done! Buddy!”
I tried hard to give a thumbs up. It seemed as though Adam's bright smile appeared in the skies.
Why Adam? Because I only showed Adam those designs. He was definitely mixed up with that group of guys from the Gentlemen Alliance. He was probably the only one who could decide on armor like this for a stern Diana.
Why was it an illusion in the sky? I didn't think Margaret would spare his life after doing something like this.
With that said, I suddenly looked forward to the female judge, law incantationer, and the knight of justice uniforms... but come to think of it, Lilith was now in charge. Sadness suddenly made me a little disappointed.
”Wait, Lilith's a lesbian! But who's to say, it might just be a good thing!”
...Cough. Getting back to the main point. From the intel, it looked like the mithril and rare alloy weren't there just because they were good to the eye. They definitely wouldn't lack in function, and in this very moment, the two girls were still fighting over the ”suspect” on their lips. Yet, Harloys seemed to be rather interested in starting to make guesses.
”They said it's the town's middle-aged security guard? The one who stares at them full of hatred?”
”No. That's just an old pervert. That guy's cross-eyed and stares at anyone he sees.”
”Are the aunties who wash clothes by the river also secretly spies?”
”No. Other people only want to ask them where they buy their clothes, but they're too shy to approach them. After all, in their eyes, these newbies are all big guys.”
”And that apprentice at the tailor's shop?”
”Justifiable, she still wanted to make some money.”
”How are you so clear on this?”
”Hmph! They paid me to help ask. I sold intel seven to eight times. Today, I've got some wine money.”
”You sure have some free time... The groundsman for Fengyu's cemetery? He's always out on the streets during the creepy evenings.”
”They're hunchback, and they work nights. What's wrong with taking a stroll on the streets at night?”
Suspects were pointed out one after the other. They already had over thirty names on their list, and I'd already denied them all. Finally, silly cat lost all patience.
”Who the hell is it?”
”Ha… I…”
”You?”
”I don't know! Don't bite! Alright, I'll explain. I've been leading the way for the past two days. They naturally can't find him.”
”You deliberately avoid the real culprit? Why?”
”Did you think that I had that much free time? The easiest way to find an undead mage is to use another undead mage. Members of the Death Council must have cultivated undead techniques. Since they have deathly magical powers, even if I've now become weak, as long as I face them head on, I'll definitely be able to feel them. If I could see them, then I'd definitely slash them in one go. Since they let me lead them, they naturally won't be able to find them.”
Silly cat suddenly fell silent. After a long while, she blurted out a sentence. ”Why do I feel like meeting you means that they're destined to fail? Are you sure that their little bit of money doesn't make you feel good and you plan to get a few more days worth of money for wine? Are you sure there aren't other ways to lure the guy out? Roland, why are you sweating? Is it your guilty conscience?”
”It's hot!”
”It's autumn!”
