Side Story: Detective Lottie Is on the Case, Part 2

“All right then. Now that our cat-hunt is over, I think we should return to the Cain case.”

Lottie had finally recovered from her shock at having encountered not one, but two talking cats. The detective and her assistant had encountered a few distractions throughout the day, but now the task at hand was solving the Cain issue. She called for her assistant and began walking down one of the little village’s streets.

“I suppose they must be in the flower field by now, huh?” said Alphonse.

It was already late in the day, and the skies were tinged with orange.

“Yes, I think it is quite probable, Alphonse’s loins. You’ve visited the flower field already, haven’t you?”

Lottie decided to hold her tongue and refrain from mentioning that he had abandoned his guard duties yesterday.

The plan had been to visit the flower field with Cecily, but Cain’s unexpected return had derailed that. Judging by how Cecily was acting, Lottie expected that she would probably refuse an invitation to go, saying something like “I can’t leave Cain’s side.”

Did a love potion cause your heart to become more closed off to others, perhaps? Lottie imagined that if Cecily announced that she and Cain were going on a trip together, for example, Cecily probably wouldn’t allow Lottie to come along.

When Cecily had looked at Cain earlier, Lottie had noticed a trace of remorse in her expression. Lottie didn’t mind that her friend felt bad for declining her earlier invitation, but she wouldn’t stand by and do nothing while that same friend’s very will was being distorted in this way.

Not only that...Cecily looked far happier when she was with Zeke.

Lottie had never been in love, but when she saw Cecily talking to Zeke or simply being by Zeke’s side, she looked to Lottie like the most beautiful and adorable person in the world.

“Yeah, it was a nice place,” Alphonse replied. “There’re all sorts of different flowers growing there.”

“Oh, is that right?” Lottie said curtly, naturally unbothered that she hadn’t been able to go herself. She changed the subject. “Alphonse’s loins,” she said, “here we are in a village full of women, yet you don’t seem as excited as I thought you’d be. Normally, you’d flit about and play around with any woman you could, and end up with a surplus of long-distance girlfriends.”

This was Alphonse they were talking about, after all—he was easy on the eyes, had a suave personality, and flirtatious lines poured easily from his lips. Of course Lottie was happy that no one had fallen victim to him here, but the rare sight of him being so reserved made her feel uncomfortable.

“It sounds so bad when you put it like that,” Alphonse grumbled in reply. For some reason, Lottie’s comment appeared to have gotten to him. “The reason is that I’m your personal guard right now.”

“Or so you say. Don’t you remember how often you shirked your duties back in the Snowflower Palace?”

“I never shirk my guard duty! Not at all.
