181 Sherlocks Decision (1/2)
In the dim alley, two Hamsters were muttering excitedly while a third Hamster took watch at the T-junction for any intruders.
The two Hamsters started a fire, then they threw a tiny amount of black powder into the flames. The Big Boss Hamster muttered, ”We have to succeed. This is the last bit…”
The flames turned azure with the prayers of the Big Boss.
”Ah—!”
After seeing the flames turn azure, Big Boss and Second Boss screamed out like Groundhogs.
Fat Otaku, who was taking watch at the junction, came over. The three Hamsters opened their eyes widely and stared at the azure flames.
A Devil's figure appeared from the flames, and a fuzzy female voice asked, ”Why did you contact me so late? Where's Sherlock?”
The three Hamsters shouted excitedly.
”Lady! We found Lord Sherlock's trail!”
”At Winterfell!”
”I'm hungry, Lady!”
The three black white Hamsters finished speaking in one breath.
The azure figure said, ”Didn't you report Sherlock's presence in Winterfell the last time?”
The three Hamsters looked astonishedly at each other before speaking.
”Lady, are you sick?”
”Lady, this is our first time contacting you!”
”Lady, have you eaten too much?”
Big Boss and Second Boss slapped Fat Otaku. Then Big Boss berated, ”How can you say that? Why would Lady overeat? You're the one who always overeats!”
”Stop fooling around,” the figure in the flame replied, and the three Hamsters became quiet. Then they looked at the figure who said, ”You must have seen Sherlock. Think, where was that?”
The three Hamsters responded immediately.
”Impossible! We were in prison!”
”We were almost put to death! It wasn't easy for us to escape!”
”We got to have a good meal.”
Big Boss and Second Boss looked at Fat Otaku, who immediately shouted, ”I didn't eat! Though I would like to!”
”Check your back skull,” the figure in the flame said calmly.
The three Hamsters lifted their fur and checked each other. Then they licked their claws and continued checking.
”Don't groom each other! See if there are traces of Mana!” the figure in the flames shouted in rage.
The three Hamsters were dumbstruck. They started checking.
