"Sure, I'm sure my husband would be delighted as well" [Lady Grais]

With that, Lady Grais go and bring the group to her husband office and knock the door slowly before entering

"Ahh, Lady Air, is there something wrong?" [Viscount Grais]

"No, everything is wonderful, I would like to thank you personally for the warm hospitality" [Lady Air]

"Sure, you are welcome here anytime you want" [Viscount Grais]

(Mr Grais seem to be nervous and want us out as soon as possible, a stark contrast from her wife, so could it be he made a deal secretly without knowing a thing? But judging from my earlier conversation, Lady Grais does have a slight vague idea of something shady going on, but that beg a question, why she would go out and tell us?) [Lady Air]

"Mr Grais, you seem awfully tired, is there something bothering you?" [Lady Air]

"No, not at all, maybe it's just because I have been working non stop" [Viscount Grais]

"I see, well your mansion really have a nice feeling of being nicely decorated with all the wonderful stuff, surely you must have worked hard to afford all of this" [Lady Air]

"Yes, for my dear wife right here, I would do anything" [Viscount Grais]

"I see, it's good to have such a lovely husband isn't it Lady Grais" [Lady Air]

"It sure is, I am blessed to have such a wonderful husband" [Lady Grais]

"Lady Air, is there anything else that you want?" [Viscount Grais]

"Oh, sorry nothing much, I am also late to go to the church today, you see they ask me to help them as the church building seem to be worn down a little" [Lady Air]

"I see, I wish you all the best"  [Viscount Grais]

"Thank you for the hospitality once again, I hope to see both of you again, Lady Grais, I hope we meet again" [Lady Air]

"It would be a pleasure" [Lady Grais]

They proceed to go back to their carriage and talk about what they manage to gather, Lady Air start it first

"The wife seem to be fine, she seem to have a very vague idea of something strange going on with his husband though" [Lady Air]

"I agree with you on that regard, the head butler also seem to hide something, but he was good enough but cover it, but not good enough to fool my eyes" [Mr Wright]

"And Mile, do you see any black smoke you mention?" [Lady Air]

"When aunty Air said about the church, some black smoke came out of that man, that's all" [Mile]

"Does that mean only he is involved in all of this thing?" [Rais]

"Impossible, I believe even with Mile's power there seem to be other involve as well, we also have to take into account that Mile power is still immature, plus judging by the kidnapping incident before and when Mr Grais react to Lady Air mentioning the word church, I believe Mile can only see the black smoke when the person have a bad intention at that current moment" [Mr Wright]

"I see, that make sense Mr Wright!" [Ray]

"Hoho, this is just based on experience, you can do it too if you are exposed enough young Ray, by the way young Ray, do you think that strange smell you detect have any connections to this case" [Mr Wright]

Mr Wright ask Ray the question, he know the answer is without a doubt yes but he want to make Ray thinks on his own two feet for this one as to further hone his sense and intuitive

"I believe so, it's because I don't see any beastman or non human in those mansion, but I could be wrong" [Ray]

"Well it's as you say, my water rat also found no worker from non human or beastman race in the whole mansion, plus the area where you detect that strange smell, there seem to be an underground man made cave entrance, but I couldn't open it with my water rat" [Rais]

Putting all of this together, there is no doubt in their mind that the Grais House is suspicious. With that, one of the noble house have been visited

Moving forward, the five of them continue to do the same tactics that they use in the Grais mansion to the other noble and found the following result

"There seem to be three noble house that we have to investigate more" [Lady Air]

"I agree with you Lady Air, and also judging by the report I received, those noble also have a strong tied with not only the church but also some group of merchant" [Mr Wright]

"So that mean that not only we have to investigate the noble, but also those merchant, not to mention, a mega merchant have a number of smaller merchant that they use as their proxy" [Lady Air]

"This really get more and more complicated" [Rais]

Lady Air, Mr Wright and Rais sigh for a while before returning back to the castle
