"Even if it weren't to make tonight's operation more convenient, investigating that group trying to overthrow the Southern Kingdom's regime would still be necessary to determine whether their deaths might affect the current situation. While I was in Tobesk City, I had Galina obtain some information on Mrs. Shatara and Sir Wayne from Military Intelligence Section Six. For now, aside from their early experiences being impossible to trace, there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious about either of them.
Miss Bell, have you figured out those two people's schedules for today? Is there an opportunity for me to meet them? Perhaps at a Rhodes Cards game?"
The Witch Apprentice whose name had been mentioned immediately searched through her notebook:
"There isn't a Rhodes Cards game for the moment, but there is another opportunity. We're very lucky. Mrs. Shatara and Sir Wayne will both attend an afternoon tea party today.

"They're both going to be there? Could that group be planning to cause some trouble?"

"That works too. Then I'll attend that afternoon tea party. Who
