Ring

Taking the power of attorney(task), Mizuki and Elfman found the client's home according to the address on the task.

The client was an old woman with silver frost. After seeing that the two were still children, the grandmother first entertained them warmly and thus talked about the entrustment.

"The ring itself is not valuable, it is a very ordinary kind of ring. But to me it is different." The old woman sat on a chair with a sweet smile of memories and said: "I was still young, my old man. It's just an ordinary poor boy..."

While talking, the grandma's voice gradually became smaller and smaller, until finally fell into the memory completely, Mizuki and Elfman looked at each other, just when Mizuki wanted to interrupt the memory of the grandma. Elfman immediately stopped him. When he turned to look at him, he did not explain, just shook his head gently.

The two waited for a long time until the sun was already sinking a little. The old grandma's memories did not end. She remembered she was introducing the ring to the two and smiled at Mizuki and Elfman said: "I'm sorry, people love to remember the past when they are old."

"It's okay, we didn't wait long." After listening to the old grandma, Elfman didn't want the old woman to blame himself, and immediately shook his head and denied it.

It's just that this old woman has gone through many years of life experience. How could he not know that Elfman was lying, so she smiled and stroked the heads of Mizuki and Elfman and said: "What good children, That ring was the wedding ring used when I married my old man. Although it is not valuable, it has a special meaning to me."

"Thus, grandma. When did you see ring last?" Seeing the old woman finally being able to answer questions normally, Mizuki immediately asked grandma for proof.

"Ah, that was before dinner the other day. I was going to have dinner, so I took the ring off. The next morning, when I wanted to take it out and bring it with me, I forgot where I put it the night before. Hey~, I have looked for a place where I often put the ring before, but I haven't found it. That's why I posted a commission, just to ask you to help me find the ring." Seeing Mizuki asked, the old woman talked about the ring from beginning to end. Again.

"The ring is in this house, and it has not been lost elsewhere." After listening to the old woman's explanation, he was surprised. This made it easier to find.

immediately afterward, Mizuki asked:

"Then grandma, what is the layout of this house? Where do you usually put the ring?"

"This house has two floors, and there are four houses on the second floor. Two of them are used by my son and daughter, and the other two are guest rooms. On the left side of the first floor are the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, and on the right are me and the old man. There is also a utility room for sundries in his bedroom and study, and the basement is for storing things that are not usually used, and there is also a wine cellar." The grandma smiled and told the two of them about the layout of the home. Once again, then she said: "Usually, I have the habit of reading before going to bed, so the ring is usually placed in the bedroom, and occasionally in the study."

"So that's it." Mizuki nodded and said: "You have already found a place where you usually put your ring. So the possibility of the bedroom and study is the smallest. Then what did you do during the time before dinner that day? Have you been to those local?"

"This." The old woman recalled with some hesitation: "Before preparing to cook dinner, because the room upstairs has been uncleaned for a long time because it suddenly rang, I just cleaned it briefly. To clean the room. Took out the tools for cleaning the room from the utility room. After the cleaning, there was some dirt on my body, so I took another bath. I rested for a while, and then I made dinner. By the way, when I make dinner because I need to use it. When I arrived at the wine, I went to the cellar and took out a bottle of wine."

When Mizuki heard the old woman's words, the corner of his mouth suddenly pulled out. According to the old woman, the old woman visited almost all the places in the house during the period before dinner. So the question he asked was the same as if he didn't ask. However, this is nothing, it just narrows the search range to a smaller one. At this moment, seeing that Mizuki had already asked everything that should be asked, Elfman stood up and prepared to start the task.

"Wait a minute, Elfman." Seeing Elfman's movements, Mizuki immediately stopped him: "You used to do most of the previous tasks. This time, I should do it again."

"Huh? But when are you going to find such a big place alone?" When Elfman heard Mizuki's words, he suddenly said with some confusion: "The two of us should look for it faster together."

"Don't worry, I am already a C-ranked wizard. Of course, I have to use magic to solve the problem. Come with me and I will let you see my magic." After speaking, Mizuki opened the door and went to the street outside. Then he moved a chair to support the easel and drew the old woman's house on the paper stroke by stroke.

"Ara~, the painting is very similar, it's amazing." After a few strokes, the house where the old woman lives quickly appeared on the paper. At this moment, the old woman stood beside him and praised him with a smile.

After watching him painting completely, Elfman asked in a puzzled manner: "What then? What should I do next?"

"Then..." Mizuki put down the paintbrush in his hand and activated his magic power. When the drawing paper flashed through a magic circle,

The house in the whole painting is connected with the house where the old man lives in reality. Then, under his operation, the whole painting moves like a game with a first-person perspective.

First, under the control of Mizuki, the whole image entered the old man's house, then turned left into the kitchen, and searched every corner of the kitchen. Just less than a minute later, the entire kitchen was combed.

"The ring is not in the kitchen." After saying that, he controlled the image and entered the bathroom. There was not much place to find in the bathroom.

Immediately afterward, he transferred to the utility room. The stuff in the utility room was so complicated that it took time to find it. It only took less than ten minutes to find the entire utility room.

When both the second floor and the basement were searched, it only took half an hour. However, although it was quick to find it, there was no trace of the ring.

"What's the matter? I have searched where I should be, why can't I find it?" he suddenly became puzzled.

"Could it be in the study or bedroom, just dropped under the bed or the cabinet?" At this moment, Elfman guessed.

"Probably not. The old grandmother under the bed and the cabinet should have looked for it herself." Hearing Elfman's guess, he shook his head slightly. The old woman nodded and confirmed his statement.

However, immediately afterward, he said again: "But sometimes the eyes of the elderly are often not as good as they were when they were young. Maybe they missed something. To be on the safe side, let's look it up again."

With that said, he manipulated the painting to search in the study and bedroom.

Indeed, there is absolutely nothing on the surface, under the bed, and the cabin in. However, when he moved the entire bed and the bedside table away, he found the ring was stuck between the two pieces of furniture.

"It turned out to be in the gap between the bed and the bedside table." Seeing the ring falling on the ground in the picture, the old grandma suddenly looked bright, and the picture of putting the ring on that night also reappeared in her mind.

The ring has been found, and the old man happily signed the assignment.

After he left the painting to the old woman, he and Elfman said goodbye to the old woman and returned to the guild before it was dark.
