“Thank you for your patronage. I look forward to seeing you again in a week, Miss Nazha.”
After tightening his belt, Roger waved to Nazha who was holding a pile of equipment.
“Wuwu… Gulu, OK, thank you, owner Roger.”
Nazha walked to the door, her throat rolled, turned her head and greeted Roger with a slightly stiff expression, and then left.
……
After leaving the commercial district, Naza walked towards the residence of the Mihe clan, but before she had gone far, she met an acquaintance.
“Hey, isn’t this Nazha? What’s wrong with someone? Where’s Mihe?”
A blue figure took small steps and jumped in front of her.
“Lord Hesiya, I am very sorry. Lord Mihe is resting in his residence.”
“Oh, take a rest. It’s true that Mihe is weak. Hey, Naza, is this the equipment for preparing medicine in your hand?”
Hesiya looked at the equipment in Naza’s hand with some curiosity.
“Yes, that’s right. Because the previous one was broken, Lord Mihe asked me to buy a new one.”
Naza answered truthfully, but her eyes glanced to the side involuntarily.
Yes, she didn’t lie, she told the truth, but she didn’t tell the whole story.
For some reason, she always felt that it would be best not to tell Hesiya about this matter.
“Is it new? It looks really good. It seems to be a good thing, but I have never seen this kind of thing.……”
As Hesiya spoke, a trace of doubt appeared on her pretty face, and she looked at the equipment carefully.
And this careful inspection also made Nazha a little flustered.
“Nazha, you didn’t go to any weird store, did you?”
After a few seconds, Hesiya raised her head and asked Nazha seriously.
“You are not being fooled, after all, you have never seen anything like this.”
“No, Master Hesiya, this is the latest model, and you can see the ingredients of the herbs, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen it before. Well, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Naza quickly explained, nodded slightly, turned around and left with the equipment. Her intuition told her that if she continued to stay there, she would probably be discovered.
“Walk slowly, Nazha, remember to run slowly.”
Hesiya waved at Nazha from a distance, and only when she could no longer see Nazha did she withdraw her hand and hold her chin, with a thoughtful look on her pretty face.
“It’s really strange. Why do I think of that bastard store when I see those equipment? Could it be that Nazha bought it from there? Well, it shouldn’t be, after all, no one would go to that place.”
Hesiya shook her head and denied her guess.
That’s right, she would probably be the only one who would go to such a strange store.
Oh no, she would never go there again.
“Oh no, my boss forgot to buy the ingredients for the potato balls. I have to go there quickly.
Hesiya slapped her head and immediately remembered the business she had come to the commercial district for, and hurried inside.
……
In the night street some distance away from the commercial district, in the center of the Ishtar clan’s territory, in the luxurious palace,
Ishtar took a leisurely puff of her pipe on the smoky throne, then turned to look at Aisha and the others below.
“So, Aisha, you said that a little mouse ran into the night street last night?”
Ishtar glanced at Aisha calmly.
“Yes, Master Ishtar, but they have been driven away.”
Ayisha, who was half kneeling on the ground, raised her head and answered in a deep voice.
“Ah, Aisha, you must have forgotten to tell me that I was the only one who did it last night, so I was able to drive away that little bug. With your strength, you can’t even catch that guy.”
“That’s right, it’s all my credit!”
At this time, the tall Phryne standing beside him grinned, and a heart-pounding smile appeared on his frog face.
“Is that so?” Ishtar, who was sitting on the throne, obviously had no interest in such things.
“So why did the little mouse sneak in? It shouldn’t be for that guy, right?”
Ayisha immediately replied:”No, it’s not. That guy came here after a man. Although we investigated the identity of that man, we didn’t get any valuable information.”
“Man? So what about that man?”
Ishtar put down her pipe, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
“this……”
Aisha did not answer immediately, but turned her head to look at Phryne who was standing beside her.
After hearing this, Phryne waved her hand and patted her big belly.
“Well, that man is such a loser, not worthy of Lady Ishtar, I threw him out a long time ago. I’m afraid he’s been eaten by some wild dog.”
“Humph, let’s forget about it, Phryne. If you do something like this again, I will punish you!”
Ishtar glared at Phryne fiercely, then sat on the throne, with a smile and smugness on her charming face.
“Well, the time is almost ripe. Soon, we will be able to teach that woman Freya a lesson.”
“At that time, I will completely defeat her clan and make them surrender to me!”
In the quiet hall, the only voice that could be heard was Ishtar’s voice mixed with excitement and laughter.
After finishing the report, Aisha immediately returned to the night street and came to a shop. She came here to meet someone.
The diligent footsteps sounded in the aisle, and soon a beautiful figure appeared in Aisha’s sight.
The long golden hair, the furry ears, and the green eyes made Aisha smile.
“Chun Ji, I’ve told you so many times, don’t run around in the store.”
Aisha quickly stepped forward and rubbed the little head of the fox girl in front of her.
“I’m so sorry, Aisha, because you haven’t been here for a long time, so I’m a little excited.……”
Chun Ji immediately bowed her head and apologized, with a hint of apology on her cute face.
“Okay, I don’t blame you. Besides, Ishtar-sama will be……”
Looking at the lively and lovely Chun Ji in front of her, Aisha’s heart was filled with sadness. The smile on her face faded a little, and her eyes were dim.
That’s right, when she thought that Chun Ji, who was like her sister, would soon be sacrificed in that plan, her heart ached.
And she was extremely powerless about such a thing.
“What’s wrong, Aisha?”
Chun Ji tilted her head and looked at Aisha with some confusion:”Are you still angry about what happened just now? I promise you, Aisha, I will definitely……”
“”Oh no, nothing. Oh, someone sneaked in last night, you must have been frightened.”
Aisha shook her head and immediately changed the subject.
After that, the two chatted about things casually, and Aisha immediately found an excuse to leave.
After leaving the store, Aisha walked out of the night street and casually went into a small alley.
“Damn it, why am I like this?……”
Aisha slapped the wall hard to vent her anger and resentment.
However, at this moment, her eyes met with an unexpected person.
