Jean's body was pulled to the right and left. The culprit? His two little princesses, Elyse and Elsie. One wanted to go to a store that sold a variety of bakery products that looked delicious, while the other wanted to go to a store that sold various dolls.
"Sister, look at those cute dolls, let's go over there!"
"No want! I want sweet bread! Come on over there, brother!"
*Sighing*
It was common for both of them to make a fuss like this. Although more often get along well, this kind of quarrel occasionally occurs. It's adorable to see them both as twins in general.
But Jean must immediately reconcile the two by choosing the middle way, while stroking their heads, Jean chooses to go to the bakery first and then go to the doll shop.
"Let's buy a snack at the bakery first. After that, we will see different types of dolls. Agreed?"
Thankfully, Elsie and Elyse agreed. Indeed, they have eaten. But which kid can stand to see the sweet cake? In fact, whether it was Elyse or Elsie was very happy when they saw the various breads sold. Even the shop owner's uncle was very friendly.
He and his wife who cooked these breads gave Elyse and Elsie a discount of up to one-third the original price. Elyse chose a waffle filled with strawberry sauce. Elsie chose a toast bristled with chocolate and nuts.
Now, it's time for a store that sells various dolls. Their enthusiasm is the same as when going to a bakery. Seeing toys with various shapes and sizes makes their mood better.
"Now, choose as you like. If so, take it to the aunt there. I'll wait from there, okay?"
Elyse and Elsie nodded. They then went to the shelf where the dolls were displayed. While Jean, she went to the aunt who was the cashier at this store.
"Ah, son. Is there anything I can help you with? Are you looking for toys with specific specifications? If so, I can help you."
Jean shook her head while smiling kindly. He pointed at the twins who were busy choosing while saying let them choose for themselves. The aunt who saw how adorable and beautiful the two girls were nodded with a smile.
"Hmmmm, if I may ask aunty, I see the streets are not as crowded as usual. It's a busy day, right? It should be more crowded today."
The guardian aunt as well as the shop owner sighed. He said that lately, cases of theft and murder are rife. Likewise with the case of people who disappeared suddenly.
"The problem is, all these heinous acts do not just happen at night. Even in broad daylight, there are people who blatantly kill someone and leave just like that."
Jean nodded. That is, if their security is not guaranteed, then the residents are reluctant to get out of their homes. But Jean soon realized that soon, the house they had been living in would no longer be safe.
"By the way.... The victims have... Some kind, some kind of feature? Ah sorry, I'm just afraid that this murder targeted children. I have to make sure the twins are safe."
The shop owner's aunt shook her head. He understood the worry of this young man. Therefore he did not mind to give this information.
"You don't just have to make sure they're safe, son. You also have to make sure your own safety. This target of murder is very random. Parents, children, youth, men and women.
"But, there was one distinctive feature on the corpse that was found. That said, their bodies were thin and extremely pale, as if their blood was being sucked out by something. I don't know the truth. But maybe it's valid."
Jean nodded and thanked me. Incidentally, Elyse and Elsie finished choosing their Dolls. He gave it to his aunt and paid for it.
"Hey son, this is too much. Only 50 silver coins in total and you pay the debt with one gold coin."
"It's okay, aunt. Let's just say it's a thank you for the information you provided. Well, maybe that's not enough. But I thought, it would be beneficial."

After Jean and the twin sisters left the shop, the owner made sure the three were away from the store. Fortunately, they are no longer visible.
The aunt went inside and locked the door. He then went to get something in the drawer. It was a stone tablet measuring 20×30 centimeters. He poured his energy there and the engraving painted on the tablet shone.
"A young man was collecting information about the strange thing that happened. You must take immediate action sir or the young man could have messed up our plans."
The woman then gave the characteristics of the young man and the two twin sisters she brought with her. The action he was referring to was clearly, killing the young man and the two twins. The woman intentionally did not kill them as it would be very conspicuous. The task of getting rid of the person who would obstruct their plan was in the hands of the 'Executor'.
When he finished, he waited for a reply. But unfortunately, there was no sound from across there. The woman then realized that the tablet had been tampered with by someone!
But late. Suddenly, the gold coin given by the young man that he had stored in his pocket shone with a golden light, then......
BLLLAAARR!!!

BLLLLLLAAAAARR!!!
The sound of a huge explosion deafened the ears of the people walking in the city. The source of the explosion came from a well-known doll shop in Krakov.
The fire engulfed the shop. Smoke billowed from there, soaring high into the sky. Some passers-by became victims but did not die. They were just hurt from being bounced.
'Hmmm, did it explode? That's quick.'
The gold coins that Jean gave the woman had her energy injections. He also set a timer. The coin would explode if the aunt leaked her conversation with the shop owner's aunt to the other party.
From the very beginning, when he walked into the doll shop, he had felt that something was suspicious. He activated one of his techniques, [Horus Eyes], to scan the entire contents of the store.
Sure enough, he discovered an extremely valuable communication artifact. Even very few nobles have that. The owner of this shop is definitely not just anyone.
While chatting with the store owner, he also used [Horus Eyes] to uncover the mastermind behind all of the oddities. He held his smile while talking to his aunt. Now, he is smiling a little.
Jean knows for sure why the bodies found look thin and pale as if their blood was sucked up completely.
Jean also knew who was behind this incident. But he didn't stop it. The most fun thing is just getting started.
By the way, [Horus Eyes] was a vision technique that he had created and perfected for hundreds of thousands of years in his old life. Eyes that can see everything. Eyes that can unravel all the mysteries that surround. An eye that can reveal all the veils of law and logic behind the universe.
His range of vision was limitless and not a single entity could hide from his sight. Even strong words do not deserve to be a predicate for this technique.
Oops, Elyse and Elsie who realize the origin of the explosion hug Jean's stomach. Jean smiled and kissed the two and stroked their heads affectionately.
"Just calm down, there's nothing that could harm you, my little princess."
Jean decides to bring the two back home.
