In contrast to the bewildered Taiyou, Leticia’s reaction was truly quick.

Taking out her cell phone and putting it to her ears in the form of taking a call・・asking Hera.

「What ya want」

「Youran-chan and Aoba-chan have been abducted!」

「Abducted? Ain’t they already been?」

「No, they were abducted. Uhh, they were abducted again from the place they were abducted to」

「Again？」

Leticia was puzzled, Taiyou included.

The two of them stared at each other, exchanging gazes.

What was going on.

They both read said question from both of their eyes.

He didn’t get what was happening in the slightest, but, the solution to that came from the other side.

The air about Chan Shaa had clearly changed. Alertly looking at Leticia, she carefully took her cell out and got into a call.

「It is me」

（Hera）

Something must be up. Thinking that, Taiyou called out to Hera in a low, whispering voice.

In response, Hera who had no need to hold back her voice answered normally.

「What is it？」

（Go listen to what they’re talking about）

「Understood！」

Hera abruptly flew off, putting her ears to the receiver that Chan Shaa was holding, almost clinging to it.

It was a surreal sight. With both sides having some ten people in a strained atmosphere, seeing her clinging to the cell was a very coquettish sight.

She recited word for word what she had heard.

「It’s me――That’s the voice of that Tsukumo person」

「Yer breakin’ rules ain’t know no limits……」

Leticia murmured with cold eyes.

The only ones who could see Hera here were Taiyou and Leticia. Taiyou was used to the small fairy’s existence so he didn’t think much of it, but upon seeing the so-called joker performing for the first time, Leticia’s eyes had a dumbfounded look.

Taiyou felt the same.

In his eyes it was like seeing a movie where the viewers could hear everything.

It was further spurred on by the fact that none of the nearby people, especially Chan Shaa hadn’t noticed.

Indifferent to those two harboring mixed feelings, Hera began faithfully carrying out her orders.

「Vat is it？」

「『Is New Moon-sama’s body double there？』」

「Ve are currently at var」

「『War, you say？』」

「Ve ver outmanuevered by the maddened kiss girl. Ve are currently taking ‘er back」

「『So you were outmaneuvered after all. But you need no longer worry about that. First off you should withdraw and return to me. We’ll gather and rally our stance for the time being』

「Vhy？ If you give me more time I vill be able to properly capture zi body double」

「『The situation has changed. Rather than the double, a higher priority target has been found that we need to pursue』」

Taken aback, Taiyou and Leticia stared at each other.

A target with a higher priority than Youran’s body double.

To the man known as Saekusa Tsukumo, those sorts of targets were decidedly limited this time around.

In other words, it was regarding Youran.

From what he had heard from Hera, Youran and Aoba had been abducted by someone. They still didn’t know who had done it, but just one thing was made clear.

The fact that it was a third force contending with Tsukumo as well.

As he thought that frowning, his eyes met once again with Leticia’s.

The foreign princess nodded. He understood from that mannerism that she was thinking the same thing.

Tsukumo and company’s conversation continued further.

「Vat do you mean by zis?」

「『After you return here I’ll tell ya. First you gotta return, kay』」

「All right」

「『If something happens then I’ll have Chan Suu follow pursuit kay』」

「I understand」

Quietly nodding, Chan Shaa ended the call.

Finishing her duty, Hera returned, riding on Leticia’s shoulder.

Not knowing that the full story had been leaked, Chan Shaa opened her mouth with a cool expression.

「Kept you vaiting」

「Not at all」

Taiyou was here impersonating one of Leticia’s subordinates, so she spoke in his stead.

「I vill ask again, vill you hand over zat girl」

「Huh？」

Taiyou unintentionally let out a voice.

He looked at Hera. His eyes expressed his confusion as to why this contradicted the conversation he had just heard.

That action drew Chan Shaa’s attention.

「You……it can’t be！」

With a start, Chan Shaa gazed in wonderment.

Even if she wouldn’t notice when he was in the crowd, if she were to look closely given the opportunity, then that wasn’t the case at all.

To her, being that the boy named Natsuno Taiyou was the center person of this affair, information beginning with his appearance was hammered into her.
