Chapter 128
128 Trouble 4
[Na, Nanana……] Raton
The merchant finally got his voice after recovering from petrification .
[I, I won’t be tricked!] Raton
No, I already succeeded .
[No, I wasn’t tricking you, I’m being honest with you since the beginning… I’ve never said that I was an
When I said that, the merchant fell silent, it seems he’s wondering if there was a degree of error in their part .
And so…
[Ex, excuse me! I’ll be on my way . ] Raton
At that moment, he made an apology of some sort and quickly withdrew .
[…As expected of Kaoru-chan! Your expertise in tricking people is beyond our reach…] Francette
And Francette said something ridiculous
[You’re not even praising me at all!] Kaoru
Anyways, that would be for the first chapter .
……Next is the royal palace .
[Is the shopkeeper here?] Marielle
The next person who came today was not from the royal palace .
(Ma, Marielle? Why is she…) Kaoru
Yes, it’s Carlos’s owner, The Viscount of the Leffel house, Viscountess Marielle von Leffel .
I don’t tell her my true name or identity, and of course my whereabouts . So Marielle should only think of me as
So how did she knew I’m here?
Is it just a coincidence?
Did she come here to this shop for something else?
……But what kind of business does the head of an aristocratic family herself have in a relatively small retail store run by a commoner?
I was stuck because I could not predict the reason for Marielle’s visit…
[Is there a clerk or shopkeeper here?] Marielle
Eh?
I’m not disguised as much right now, right?
Certainly, at that time I changed the color of my hair and eyes, but I turned back my chestnut-colored hair to black, and it should’ve been a color change that would completely change the image, like turning a blond hair to silver hair .
The color of my eyes was changed from light-blue to brown so it should change a lot, but it’s not as much that would make one looks different . And although the color of my skin was a little white, it wouldn’t mean that some sunburn usually makes people indistinguishable . It shouldn’t be obvious after that…
In fact, that time when I was reunited with Francette, even though the first time I met her, I had silver hair and my eye color was different, also the fact that a goddess shouldn’t have been seen walking around the city . How did she discover me in one glance?

I mean… no way…
I held my hands a little and raised my index fingers .
Then, I placed my fingers on the outer corners of both of my eyes, then… I pulled my fingers downwards to make my eyes look droopy .
[Ah, My Goddess!] Marielle
I knew it, in just a single glance!!
After that, I locked the door, hung a temporary
Aside from us, there’s Francette, Bell, and Riette-chan . Marielle is the daughter of an aristocrat, so they were a bit nervous .
The men will be listening in the next room . Since the walls were almost paper-thin, the soundproofing is quite bad .
Marielle is a Viscount, but she thinks that I am a goddess, and it’s a hassle, so it’s okay to speak, you know?
[It’s bad! A merchant from the royal capital!] Marielle
Un, I know
[And there are those who seemed to be the people of the royal palace!] Marielle
Un, I know
[Furthermore, if you’re looking for a girl with a bad… eyesight…] Marielle

Un, I know that too
And Marielle is seriously staring at my face .
[…Was it about the goddess……] Marielle
Un .
So, for the time being, I just want to know .
[Huh, why am I here?] Marielle
Where did the information leak from? I must locate it, crush it, and close the leaking hole . That is the first priority .
And then, looking closely at Marielle…
[Oh, I asked my dogs . ] Marielle
[Eh~a?] Kaoru
An unexpectedly stupid voice came out from me .
[No, I said my dogs… The goddess…] Marielle
[Ah, wait! For the time being, stop that
[Ah……] Marielle
Umu, it seems she understood .

[I am Kaoru…] Kaoru
[Ah, yes!] Marielle
There is no point in introducing myself as
Then, when I asked Marielle once more, apparently, Marielle asked the dogs of the Viscount family to know my whereabouts . First, they guided her to the place where I was feeding the dogs and crows before and smelled my scent from there . It seems that they traced it and found me here . They can trace my scent from the Viscount’s Mansion, but they said that it’ll be faster if it’s from that location…
Damn it, such a good nose . …For dogs only .
It seems that time she arrived here at closing time, so she decided to visit again on a later date and went home on that day . And now she’s here .
[Oh, by the way, the dogs and the crows didn’t stop me!] Marielle
[I see, it was unplanned that Marielle could talk to animals, and in the first place I never thought that the dogs or crows would tell my whereabouts!!!] Kaoru
Yes, originally my plan was to give Carlos the ability to speak human language . But at the request of Marielle, I hurriedly changed it to
Marielle’s peace of mind is that she can reliably support stray dogs and crows, also she will not break the promise of
Well, it’s my mistake . It’s no use overthinking it .
But there is one important thing that I need to confirm .
[Marielle, what’s the chance that you got were followed when you came here?] Kaoru
When I asked, Marielle answered with a serious look .
[Yes, I know that things don’t go
I sneaked out of my house normally in a plain appearance, rented a room at a store I talked to in advance, then exchanged my clothes with a maid who looked like me, she had a similar hairstyle and hair color . Then I left the back door a while after the maid left the store .
And after that, the disguise work similar to that was done two more times . But even after all of that, even if there was a persistent pursuer that was quite familiar with tailing someone . The brute force of passing through the busy main street and the intensity of the retrogression to the flow of people, etc . , I think that the pursuit would probably cut off . ] Marielle
……Marielle! Who the hell are you!
