Princess Alfin side is currently staking out near the mansion of the suspected noble

Princess Alfin, being someone who naturally stand out applied a spell on herself, she uses the spell of ignorance to herself so that other would ignore her, plus

"Self mirage, change my appearance and deceive the eye of my enemy, illusion of appearance" [Alfin]

With that, she changed her appearance to her self imagined male version of Mrs Usagina

"How long can you maintain this form Princess Alfin?" [Emma]

"2 hour max, without chanting another magic that is" [Alfin]

"That long!" [Emma]

The spell need a constant supplies of mana from the user, the same image must be carried out, even a slight change of image can potentially dispel this spell by accident. Thus, she chose the image of someone close to her (which in this case is Mrs Usagina being "force" to changes appearance to a male) and practice everyday until those image stuck in her mind

The group gather around the mansion not only to see anything suspicious but also to ask the local the rumour surrounding those noble

"Well, since Clair and Albert are currently having an official visit to the town church, we should all do our best to sniff out anything suspicious" [Alfin]

""""Yes""""" [Rais, Blanc, Emma, Lydia]

Rais, Blanc, Emma and Lydia response in unison

Lydia with her enchanted sense from Dragonewt technique and Emma's support begin to use all of her heightened sense to search for any clue, whereas Blanc try his best to develop his earth sonar magic with Rais water rat search to get a clearer picture

"This is way harder than I thought" [Blanc]

"Are you okay Blanc?" [Emma]

"Yes, don't worry about me Emma, I am the one that say i will do it, so I won't complain much" [Blanc]

"Huh, someone finally become useful" [Lydia]

"Usually I will retort to that statement but I can't spare even an ounce of attention and energy to it, so yeah, PLEASE don't disturb me will you!" [Blanc]

"Hey, why do you have to give me such a mean look!" [Lydia]

Blanc keep on pointing his earth sonar magic to the direction of the mansion, unlike how Azumi usually use his search magic (which is making himself center and use wind mana in conjunction with other type of mana to gather information surrounding himself), Blanc keep on extending his mana toward the direction of the mansion and he do it by transmitting in underground as too further decrease the chance of his magic being detected by the noble magician

Seeing this, Alfin were impressed by it and suggest Blanc to keep on practicing this magic as it will be prove useful in the future

After awhile, Rais managed to scout out a suspicious area in one of the noble warehouse, he quickly prompt Blanc to point his magic toward that direction

"Is this the correct direction Mr Rais?" [Blanc]

By sensing Blanc's magic through his water rat search magic, he nodded when Blanc earth sonar magic point toward the right direction

"Bingo!" [Blanc]

"What is it Blanc?" [Rais]

"I managed to find a hidden basement in that direction" [Blanc]

"Can you scout further" [Rais]

"I'll try" [Blanc]

Hearing the conversation between Rais and Blanc, the other three are currently focusing on Blanc, when Lydia have a wild idea

"Emma, can you use the sensory link Spell" [Lydia]

"No, that's quite a hard spell" [Emma]

"Oh, I can do that" [Alfin]

"Oh, as expected of Princess Alfin!" [Lydia]

"Well, i do teach at the school from time to time you know, anyway, I think I got what you are planning" [Alfin]

"Huh, really?" [Lydia]

"Of course, that is quite a brilliant idea, in short with your current heighten sense, you want me to connect your senses into Blanc so that he can further search the basement right?" [Alfin]

"Exactly!" [Lydia]

"As long as you don't mess around with me, I am fine with it" [Blanc]

"Have some trust in me will you Blanc!" [Lydia]

"Well, with how close both of you were, I'll use a little variant of the sensory link spell, that way both Blanc and Lydia can have a nice time searching that basement together ""Princess Alfin!!"" [Blanc, Lydia]

With that, Princess Alfin take two empty papers from her item box, draw a magic circle of psychic on each one of them and place it on Lydia and Blanc forehead, she begin to chant

"Oh Psychic, governing the human mind, let those two share all their thoughts together at the same time, Variant sensory link" [Alfin]

With that, a dark purplish mana can be seen connecting the two magic circle

""!!"" [Blanc, Lydia]

"By your reaction, it look like it's working" [Alfin]

"It is, but somehow I felt weird" [Blanc]

"yeah, I agree with you Blanc" [Lydia]

"Well, please hurry as not only I have to maintain this spell, I also have to maintain the illusion spell" [Alfin]

""Right"" [Blanc, Lydia]
