The night covered my figure as I move behind the bushes while following the two men who are patrolling the area around the garden. Being careful yet close, I observed them silently from the side while gathering any information that I can use to my advantage.

  It's normal for people to drop random facts when there is nothing to talk about especially when they are doing something boring like walking around.

  "Woo its really chilly today"

  "Well, you can't help it, winter is already around the corner you know"

  "Gugugu right. I should've used my thick coat if I only knew that it will be this cold tonight"

  "Just bear with, it's not like you will die from it anyway."

  One person has his shoulder trembling from the cold and the one just shrugged it off and continued. The two of them talked to each other as they move from spot to spot while looking around the pce.

  The two went on with their conversation until one of the men suddenly stopped walking and started turning his head around as if searching for something.

  "Wait...."

  The man who was looking around looked at the area full of trees.

  "What's wrong? Did you notice something strange"

  The partner stopped walking and turned his head before asking the guy who was just shivering from the cold a while ago.

  "I want to pee"

  "...."

  The partner looked at him in disbelief and annoyance.

  "Dude...."

  "I mean it's not my fault!"

  I observed them while thinking that the two of them bantering like friends

  "Fine, you go deal with that while I go look around the pce."

  "Hahaha okay okay, I will be quick"

  The guy took off and entered the woods leaving his partner alone to do his job.

  Now both of them are alone huh.

  Hmmmm, I guess this is the perfect time to take action....

  Now that the two of them are separated, I can now finally move and do my pn. I followed the guy who walked towards the trees while still being careful to not expose myself. I moved quick hiding behind the trees while also making sure I won't step on anything that can make a loud sound.

  At first, my initial pn is to take the both of them out. In which means..... killing them and finally losing my innocence as a human person from earth.

  I already made-up mind to commit this. It's necessary and unavoidable. If I don't deal with them first, then they might come for us in the future. It's kill or be hunted in this world.

  Well anyway, that was my first pn but now it seems like I can change my pn for a bit.

  Since he is alone, I think I can do that thing from the games that I py where you are in enemy territory, and you need to blend in among the enemies.

  Basically, it's acting.

  I can use this opportunity to kill one of them and disguise myself as the person who I just killed.

  In this way, I can use one of them to guide me around the pce without being suspected. It would be probably much more easier being guided rather than wandering aimlessly.

  Anyways, back to my target. The man then spotted a good pce to do his business. He unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants and started peeing.

  ......

  Ughh....

  I was behind him and looked at him with pure disgust.

  Should I do it now? He has his guard down completely.

  I was pondering about the timing. A part of me was saying to kill him now but, another part of me is also disgusted getting close to him while doing that.

  I might see 'that' while it releases it Ughh.....

  No no no, I don't want that.

  Eeeek.

  I don't want to kill him while he does that.

  The disgusted part of me took over my decision. And so, I decided to wait for him finish his business.

  "Ahhhh there we go."

  The man looked very satisfied, and he was done, he then zipped his pants, buckled his pants and fixed his clothes before turning around and walking towards my location.

  He walks past me and when I saw the perfect opportunity to act, I quickly moved to his back and covered his mouth before stabbing him on the neck.

  The eyes of the man turned wide while also trying to turn his head to see me. But my grip on his mouth is strong leaving him to unable to move.

  "Guhuuuuuuuu huuuuuuuu...."

  "Shhhh be quiet now..."

  "...."

  He struggled more inside my arms, but he was unable to break free from my hold. Shortly after, he finally died.

  I bent down and carefully id him down on the ground before looking at his face and body. After checking and familiarizing his face on my mind. I transformed my body and face to his using my disguise skill.

  Hmmmm.

  After that, I sensed that my view changed because of the height. And with this I am now sure that I've fully transformed. My clothes also changed to that what the man is wearing so stripping the man for his clothes won't be needed.

  And that in itself is a good thing in more ways than one.

  I breathe a sigh of relief and looked back to the dead person below me.

  What will I do with the body?

  Although this pce is a bit hidden, I don't want his dead body to be discovered so easily. If people find him too quickly then it might affect some of my pns.

  I scanned the pce, searching for a spot to hide him.

  Hmmmm it's no good... this is a bad spot.

  This pce is just only full of trees and bushes, so it seems like I can only either hide him behind the trees or inside the bushes. But still, it would be great if I can cover him with soil or some sort of bnket at least.

  ...

  I sighed and began dragging his body away and hiding it near a bush.

  Judging from where he was a while ago, this spot where I dragged and hid him in is not that easily visible but not impossible to find. So this means, it will take time before his body will be discovered.

  But anyways, since I am already done here, it's time to move on to the other task.

  I need to get back to his partner.

  I was about to take my step but suddenly stopped when I realized something.

  Hmmmm...Wait.

  A question then appeared on my mind when I remember a crucial problem.

  What about my voice?

  All of this disguise will be wasted effort if I were busted by his voice. I mean you would definitely be spotted if you have a girly voice and also if you stayed quiet when someone is talking to you.

  I don't want that to happen....

  I then opened my mouth and began testing my voice.

  "Ahhhh... Ahhhhh.... Test..."

  Surprisingly the voice that I am hearing coming from my mouth sounds manly and a bit deep.

  "1... 2..... 3.... Okie..."

  It seems it's all good, hmmm, guess I am fine to talk with others using this body.

  Well then. Let's return to his partner for now.

  I comfortably walked to the pce where his other friend was waiting. He saw me and folded his arms before speaking in a slightly annoyed tone .

  "Well took you long."

  I then tried to recall this body's conversation with the man from a while ago, from the way this body speak, he seems like a carefree friendly guy. So if that's the case.

  I smiled and scratched the back of my head and spoke in a light manner.

  "Haha sorry."

  I did it correctly right? this man should act like this if what I am thinking is correct.

  "Haaah."

  He then releases a deep sigh before turning and walking.

  "Whatever, let's go"

  "Yeah."

  I followed him as we went the down the stone path while observing our surroundings.

  ...

  ....

  The man led me around the pce without any suspicion, I always replied when I was being talked too but sometimes I just reply with a hum when I don't know what to say and it works.

  It didn't take long until we went to the gate to patrol for a bit. I saw the gate that was guarded by 4 people. They were equipped with a sword and they are all wearing full pte armor.

  Their armor is consisted of a chest pte, a helmet, boots and also some armor protection on their arms, hands, legs and their kneecaps making them feel a bit intimidating.

  I was looking at them when suddenly, one of the guards noticed me and asked in a low manly voice.

  "What are you staring at?"

  I was then armed by his sudden question so I quickly thought up of an excuse.

  "I was wonder if you don't feel tired or heavy wearing that?

  "Huh? I get tired too you know, you just don't know how bothersome this armor is, it's hot, heavy, and uncomfortable to wear."

  "He is right."

  As the guard said that, another guard also sighed and joined the conversation.

  "Annoying as it may be, there is nothing we can really do about it, it's our duty uniform so wearing it is required especially since we are the gate guards"

  "Hmmmm."

  "But again you still feel a bit safe when you are wearing this, It gives you that sense of protection you know."

  "I see...."

  After that the guard turned around started looking at the gate. It seems he is going back to work now.

  I don't want to waste anymore time so I went back to my job of patrolling the pce with the man I am with earlier.

  ...

  After a while we are finally done patrolling outside and now we are entering the mansion.

  The lighting inside the mansion is a little bit bright so the atmosphere here gives you that kind of lobby feeling when visiting hotels.

  "Since we are done, all we need to do now is report to the head butler."

  "Okay"

  Following that, we climbed some stairs and walked some long hallways with many doors on it. And after seeing a door with a written word "Head butler office", we entered that and saw a man who seems a bit old.

  He has that aura of someone who is like a veteran as he sat on his chair with his hand pying with his beard.

  "Are you done?"

  He looked at us seriously which feels a bit intimidating. It was silent for a while, but that silence was interrupted by my partner who started reporting.

  "Everything is normal, we didn't see anything new or weird."

  "Ohhh I see, Is that all?"

  The head butler asked us, so I just shook my head and stayed silent. My partner then answered to end the report here.

  "That is all sir."

  "Then, good work as always, you two may return now to your quarters."

  "Understood."

  "Yes."

  We bowed and turned around as we exited the room and closed the door behind us.

  "Finally done."

  My partner sighed before turning to me and putting his hand on his waste.

  "You can go ahead, I will be hitting the restroom."

  "Restroom?"

  "Yeah. Well see ya tomorrow."

  "Okay?"

  He then walked to the opposite direction leaving me alone standing here in the hallway.

  ......

  Fuuuuh.

  Seeing no people are walking around, I finally rexed my body and breathe a sigh of relief.

  Disguising can be very tiring huh, now I know.

  It's feels more threatening doing it in person than being behind a screen and controlling a disguised character.

  I stood there for a while before finally deciding to move again.Since we are already done outside, it's time to scout the inside of the pce, but....

  Should I keep using this disguise or find another one? My shift is already done so if I used this body then I will be suspicious. I mean, I should be already back to my so-called quarters, right? so, if I didn't do that then it will make people question me and doubt me.

  Hmmmm

  Let's just hide inside a room for now, I can pn my next move from there.

  I walked around and searched for any room that I can find. I am trying to search for a room without any presence inside. After a while with me getting a bit lost, I finally found a room without any presence inside.

  I entered inside and everything was dark. I looked around and noticed a switch besides the door where I am standing at. Curious, I pressed it and the bulb inside the room lighted up making it bright.

  .....

  ...Hmmm.

  Well, that solves the darkness....

  I then closed the door behind me and went to the middle of the room. I also removed my disguise and returned to my original face and body for now.

  I will do a recap....

  I transformed back to my small doll form and began pondering about the situation.

  Now, where shall I start?

  I began recalling my memories about all of my findings during the patrol duty outside.

  First is that this pce is huge. Second is there is only one gate to this mansion, third is we could climb the walls but, to do that, we will need a dder. Fourth is the soldiers here may be a burden for us if we are going to escape while fighting since they have a complete collection of weaponry and armors.

  And stly, I expect that there will be more people here since this pce have those so-called quarters. And more people means more enemies when we escape.

  Okay that's it for now

  Those are only the information I have and other than that I still have some other tasks that are yet to be fulfilled like finding Diana's room and also locating the other storage rooms for supplies.

  This really feels troublesome....

  You know, having a guide would really be a great help in this situation. May it be a person or a map, as long as it can bring me towards the pces I needed to go then I will take it.

  As I was pondering more about my problem, something happened as if on cue.

  [Fufufu~ seems like you are already doing good progress~]

  What the!!!!?

  Surprised by a sudden voice, I tensed up and got startled.

  Who!!?

  [Fufufu I am an ally you know~]

  As I hear the voice again, I suddenly realized who it was was.

  Aria-sama...

  [Yes it's me~]

  After knowing that is is indeed Aria-sama, I sighed and pouted in annoyance.

  Geez, please don't surprise me like that again. I mistook you for an enemy.

  In a situation like this where I should be on guard for potential trouble, I can't help but be alerted by everything I might see and hear. And that you did seriously scared me.

  [Fufufufu, I thought you are used to hearing my voice by now. I would suddenly talk to you right?]

  She has a point, we have been talking to each other for like many nights already, and she would always suddenly appear out of nowhere.

  But again..... This is not like those times, I am being alert right now.

  Sneaking around and acting to deceive other people can really put you on the edge.

  [Fufufu, I guess that's understandable, so what do you pn to do now?]

  As she asked me, I found myself unable to give a quick answer.

  It's troubling....

  I have a goal and that is to find Diana's room and the storage rooms that you mentioned. But the problem is, I might get lost if I just wander around, not to mention my current disguise, I will also need to get a new one, like a maid perhaps.

  [So, you are lost?]

  Hearing her blunt comment, I nodded and silently waited for her next words.

  [Fufufu, well wait, let me create something for you then.]

  Okie?

  I waited while curiously trying to guess what she was doing, and not before long, she came back with a cheerful energy.

  [Fufufu I am done]

  Ohhh welcome back...

  I greeted her while still curious on what will happen next.

  [You can take this, you were asking for it if I remember.]

  Hmmmm

  !!!?

  Shortly after, something bright appeared before me, and as the light fades away, there was a rolled paper slowly revealing itself to me.

  What's this?

  I grabbed it and looked at its content, and once I saw it I was surprised and impressed.

  Is this all the rooms in this mansion?

  [Yes, I believe it will serve it's purpose well]

  I nodded with satisfaction.

  What was given to me was the floor pn of this mansion. There were 3 floors in total, I am currently at the 2nd floor on the left side of the building. Diana's is at the third floor on the middle in the middle side. And as for the storage room they are below underground.

  The bedroom of the master of this house is also on the second floor on the right side of the building and for the mistress, she is on the left side, which mean she is the one closest to me right now.

  And since she is the closest to me right now....

  a dark smile slowly formed in my face as an evil thought appeared on my mind.

  It's time to visit her...
