"Yachiyo!" Tsuruno cheered and came directly in front of Yachiyo.

"Are you also helping Iroha with this rumor? I could help."

"Don't you need to take care of the guests?" Yachiyo looked at her doubtfully. Today was a holiday, so there should be more guests than usual.

"It's okay. I told Dad that I was going to help a friend, and he agreed." Tsuruno smiled and didn't care.

Although there are more customers on weekends than at other times, her food is also quite famous, so even on weekends, she can handle it all by herself.

"Okay then, but don't do anything rash." Yachiyo warned again.

Tsuruno is considered to be one of the best in terms of intelligence, reflexes, and combat, but sometimes he tends to be stubborn.

It is easy to be impulsive when seeing bad things, and want to take action when provoked, especially when it comes to the so-called strongest thing.

"Yes!" Tsuruno responded seriously.

......

Hard work pays off. The four people found clues much faster than the two people, and it would be more accurate to say that the clues found them rather than that they found the clues.

When they were passing through an alley, two people wearing black robes and hoods stopped them.

"Please wait a moment."

Several people stopped immediately.

"Nanami Yachiyo, Yubi Tsuruno, Tamaki Iroha... they all just happened to be together."

"What do you mean we're all here!" Tsuruno shouted in dissatisfaction, but then seemed to realize something was wrong: "What do you want to talk to us about?"

"Yes."

"You want us to let go of that rumor?"

"Yes."

"So you want to talk to us?"

"Yes..."

The man in black robe was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that before she even opened her mouth, the whole matter had been guessed.

"Tsuruno is so amazing." Huan Caiyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey!" Tsuruno smiled.

Seeing that the topic seemed to be going off track again, Yachiyo stepped in to bring it back.

"So, why should we let go of that rumor?"

"It's not a good idea to dispel rumors. I hope you'll stop here."

"Does this also include the rumors about the unfortunate Shimizu?" Huan Caiyu frowned slightly.

"Yes."

"But we're already caught up in this... It's too much to bring misfortune to others without permission."

"You realize that if you leave us alone, we will eventually find the rumors you want to protect, right?" Tsuruno's tone sounded a little angry.

"Is that why you jumped out in such a hurry?"

The man in black robe remained silent.

"They're silent now. Could it be that Tsuruno was right and that they are indeed protecting the rumor?" Tamaki Iroha looked at Tsuruno, who smiled back at her.

"Although I don't know what your purpose is, there is no legitimacy in protecting a rumor that will put people in danger. Besides, you two can't beat us, right? You might as well just tell us where the rumor is." Yachiyo's face was calm, but he was ready for a fight.

"That's right! I can't just stand by and watch others fall into misfortune!" Tsuruno's expression was a little unfriendly. What they did was of no benefit to ordinary people or even magical girls. This was something Tsuruno, who had a strong sense of justice, could not accept at all.

"...I know my own limitations, that's why I came to negotiate with you." The black-robed man was silent for a moment, and reluctantly stated the fact that they couldn't beat the other side at all, but he still didn't want to reveal the location of the rumor.

Yachiyo frowned slightly, but Felicia beside her said, "Hey, if I join you, will the situation change soon?"

"What do you mean?" The man in black robe looked at her in surprise.

"If you can pay a suitable reward, I can consider switching sides with you."

"Felicia?! What are you talking about? Didn't we investigate together?" Huan Caiyu looked at her in disbelief, not understanding why she would do this.

"I'm a mercenary, so naturally I'll help whoever pays the highest." Felicia looked at Huan Caiyu in confusion, as if she didn't understand why she asked this even though she knew she was a mercenary.

"I know your life is hard, but, but you can't..."

Before Huan Caiyu could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man in black robe.

"I understand. I will prepare a suitable reward."

"Very good! From now on, I'm on your side." Felicia laughed, completely ignoring the looks of the people around her.

"...Are you serious?" Huan Caiyu's tone was quite disappointed. After all, this was the first time she was "betrayed" by someone.

"Forget it, Caiyu, our main goal is to spread the rumors, not to force them to retreat." Yachiyo shook her head and persuaded the two to give up their plan to take action.

Tamaki Iroha nodded silently and could only watch as the three of them disappeared into the alley. As they disappeared, Tsuruno's figure also disappeared.

"Okay, now tell me about Felicia." Yachiyo looked at Iroha Tamaki and said with some curiosity in her tone.

But there was a hint of hesitation on Huan Caiyu's face.

"Hey, about Felicia?"

"Can you really tell others about something like that without Felicia's consent?"

As if noticing Tamaki Iroha's hesitation, Yachiyo pressed the issue again, "I don't think you, Iroha, would be willing to help Felicia after hearing what I said. Besides, knowing more about her would be helpful for our next steps."

"Oh well..."

Chapter 68 Return Again

"Although I sympathize with her, if her personality doesn't change, I still don't recommend that you have too much contact with her, Iroha." Yachiyo said calmly.

Felicia's experience was indeed beyond her expectations. She witnessed her parents being killed by a witch and lived alone for such a long time. It was very precious that she could maintain her current personality.

But her current personality can't be said to be good. She is obviously a mercenary, but when fighting, she disregards the safety of her master and will rebel in the middle of the fight because someone raises the price. If it weren't for her own good strength, she would have been beaten countless times.

However, given her young age, there may still be a chance for correction.

"Well, I know, but I still believe that Felicia will change." Hearing Yachiyo's affirmation, Huan Caiyu smiled again.

"Perhaps letting Iroha take care of Felicia would be a good idea? Iroha has maintained her personality for so long, so Felicia shouldn't affect her, right?"

Yachiyo silently pondered the possibility of changing Felicia.

I don't have that much time to look after her. If Tsuruno has a bad personality, it would be similar to hers, so naturally she wouldn't be suitable. Thinking about it this way, only Iroha is suitable.

While she was thinking about this, Huan Caiyu suddenly realized, "Ah, Felicia just left with those two people. Is there anything wrong?"

Yachiyo shook her head slightly: "No, I made another deal with her just now, letting her go undercover on the other side. And Tsuruno is following her. If there are only those two people on the other side, they can't stop them."

"As expected of Yachiyo, you're so thoughtful."

Just as Tamaki Iroha was about to express her admiration, Tsuruno suddenly appeared in front of them.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Tsuruno scratched his head and said, "Hey, hey, I lost them."

But before the two could ask, Tsuruno's eyes fixed and he spoke again: "I have memorized their magical auras, and I can use them to find them."

Yachiyo and Iroha Tamaki looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

This kind of heavy breathing is too much!

Then the two of them followed He Nai all the way to find the two men in black robes. After a while, they arrived at the place where He Nai had lost them.

However, before the three of them started searching, Felicia came out first.

"Felicia! Have you found where the rumor is?" Huan Caiyu looked at her in surprise.

But Felicia put her hands behind her head and smiled: "No."

After hearing this news, although Huan Caiyu was a little disappointed, she still did not blame her.

"No? It's okay. You're back now. If we look for it together, we'll definitely find it quickly."

Yachiyo, who was standing by, seemed to have guessed something when she saw Felicia's expression.

As she expected, the words coming from Felicia were very similar to the Felicia she remembered.

"That won't work."

"Huh?" Iroha Tamaki exclaimed.

Yachiyo walked up to her and looked at her with some displeasure: "As expected, the other party offered a higher reward."

She had only heard that Felicia would often betray her employer, but Yachiyo had never expected that such a thing would happen to her.

"Well, that's right, that's a very generous reward that will allow me to live on my own from now on.

Besides... with those rewards, I won't have to betray anyone anymore..." Felicia's voice became smaller and smaller, so that even Yachiyo and the other two who were standing opposite her didn't hear the last sentence.

"I had originally changed my mind about you, but I didn't expect you to still be like this."

"Whatever you say, I won't hold back next time." Felicia looked at Yachiyo nonchalantly. She knew nothing, so how could she change her opinion of her?

Seeing that the two seemed to be about to quarrel, Huan Caiyu quickly interrupted their conversation.

"Felicia, don't you really care that misfortune happens to you?"

"Ha, didn't I tell you? At this point, could there be anything more unfortunate than the death of my parents?" When Felicia brought up the matter again, she no longer had the indifferent look she had before.

"But..."

Huan Caiyu wanted to continue persuading, but was interrupted by a sudden voice from the side.

“Aaaaaah…”

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Tsuruno, who was crying and even shedding tears.

Felicia took a step back as if frightened.

"Hey, why are you crying?!"

"Because I feel like you're having a hard time. So that's why you became a mercenary... Ugh..."

"You're exaggerating, and I don't really care anymore..."

Felicia called out to Tsuruno, then looked at Iroha Tamaki again, who was also wearing a magical girl's outfit.

"Since you have nothing to say, if you want to get through, you have to defeat me first!"

"Wait, Felicia, what happened before has already happened, and we are powerless to repent, but misfortune can be transferred.

For example, for me, my sister's illness was my misfortune before, but now my sister is missing, so the misfortune now is that my missing sister is in danger again. Don't you care about anything now?"

When mentioning Yu, a sadness seemed to emerge from Huan Caiyu, but it disappeared in an instant.

Although she had learned from Bai that You was not in danger, she still wanted to find You as soon as possible.

"Well... the cow doll that my parents bought me at the ranch..." Felicia's voice seemed to be much softer when she talked about things she cared about.

"What if it disappears?"

"Huh? No! That's my treasure!"

“So this is also a kind of misfortune.”

"Ugh...Absolutely not. I can't accept this."

Felicia's face was serious. The doll was the last thing her parents left her in the world, and she could not bear to lose it.

"I'll join you, Iroha. I'll take you to where they are."

"That's great!" Huan Caiyu responded happily.

It seems that Felicia still has a chance to correct herself.

Even Yachiyo didn't say much this time. She could see that Felicia's expression didn't look like she was lying, and it was impossible for her to pretend to be so decent.

Felicia, now in control of her thoughts, no longer had the ferocious look she had just shown. Instead, she thanked Iroha Tamaki: "Thank you so much, Iroha. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the chance to regret it."

Huan Caiyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's work hard together from now on."
