"I said it, Manda."

"..."

"Manda?"

"I'm working, don't talk to me casually."

"Don't say that~~ Isn't chatting with me part of the job?"

"I'm just responsible for assisting you in handling the case, that's all."

“You don’t understand this~~ The so-called ‘assistance’ means that all my needs are related to you~~”

"...I called the police."

"If you can really call a few police officers like this, I would be very happy... After all, you are the only trainee police officer with nothing to do at the moment. Ah~~ If more police officers can help me, I will also use it.

Not so tired anymore.”

"You really...have time to complain, you might as well do more things yourself. Besides, how many times have I said it - I'm not just sitting around with nothing to do, I'm also very busy, okay?!"

......

"I said it, Manda."

"...What happened again?"

"My profession, from a professional point of view, is that of a private detective, right? Then what I do is also within the scope of a private detective, right?"

"Yeah, as long as I have money, I'm willing to do anything...that's why I'm called a 'stalker pervert'."

"Look...even you call me this incomprehensible name, but I care about it~~Obviously what I do is in line with the professional ethics of a private detective..."
p>

"Haha, it turns out that private detectives also have such a thing as professional ethics."

"Isn't that natural~~ As for me, although I have taken on stalking jobs in the past, if the person I'm following doesn't have any dirty secrets, they certainly won't hate me so much."

"...Even if you are upright and not afraid of the shadow, you can't not care about being watched, right?"

"Oh, oh, oh, how can this be called surveillance? The people who entrusted me to follow them are all their acquaintances, so it can only be regarded as 'taking care of them'. According to me, they should thank me."
p>

"...You have such a bad character."

"This is true, so please bear with me~~"

"I don't want it!"

......

"I said it, Manda."

"What?"

"When Ferrinold and I went to the attic yesterday, we made a special discovery."

"Really?"

"Yeah...at night, the area near that attic becomes eerie."

"...This can be considered a special discovery?"

"Huh? I think it's very special. The atmosphere at that time even made me feel like I was in a horror movie."

"Horror movie? What is that?"

"Ah...it's like a nightmare."

"What's so scary about this?"

"Oh, Manda, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"I...how could I be afraid of that kind of hypocrisy!"

"Eh——"

"Your expression...doesn't it mean you don't believe me?"

"No, no, actually~~ I just spent a lot of money to buy a magic potion. After drinking it, I will dream of ghosts every time I sleep~~ Since you are not afraid, do you want to try the effect?"

"Uh...! Why did you buy such a vicious potion!"

"Hey, hey, don't change the subject~~Are you scared?"

"Who, who is scared! I'm just... I'm just worried about the side effects of your potion!"

......

"I said it, Manda."

"What happened?"

"Do you know what characteristics your personality generally has?"

"...Speaking of which, if you want to ridicule me next, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Why is it psychological preparation... By the way, if you have time in the past few days, can you pay another visit to Mr. Wyatt for me?"

"Can't you go by yourself?"

"I have other things to do, please!"

"Well... this, in this case, okay."

"Thank you very much~~ Also, please help me borrow some money from Mr. Wyatt."

"Eh? No."

"Please, I'm very tight lately..."

"Well...! Then I have no obligation to help you borrow money, you...you figure it out yourself!"

"Please~~Miss Manda~~"

"Well..."

"Please~~"

"Alas...you are really...only, only this time!"

"Okay~~it has appeared! This is it!"

"Wha...what?"

"Your character, your personality - as long as I keep asking you for help like this, you won't be able to refuse other people's requests."

"Uh...!"

"Yeah~~Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time. If I beg you desperately, maybe I can...hehehehe..."

"..."

"Huh? What are you doing standing up? Hey, hey, don't come over here without saying a word... Your face looks scary now! Wow...!"

......

"I said it, Manda."

"Go to hell, pervert!"

"...You are still angry with Felinold, then I will apologize to you on his behalf."

"Well...! It's obviously your fault! Actually, you actually said that I was...go to hell, pervert!"

"It's just a joke~~"

"Don't joke like this!"

"Okay, I'm sorry..."

"Your apology is of no use at all!"

"Oh, oh, oh~~ Do you mean I need to use actual actions to compensate? But I don't have much money..."

"Who wants your money! I am a serious police officer!"

"Correction, I am an intern~~"

"Ugh...! Shut up, you pervert!"

"Eh~~"

......

"I said it, Manda."

"Huh?"

"What is your ability to find a mate?"

"Um...why do you ask this question again?"
