Two days have passed since Shinosomiya was attacked from the lower end of the hound.

We went to the police as a matter of course since then.

It's only natural that a few of us were surrounding the body.

Fortunately, it didn't take much longer to clear our suspicions that Mr. Shinosomiya was recording footage from before he entered the labyrinth and that we were recording each of them, so there was multiple video evidence.

However, there were times when I used to do meaningful things to extract information from my enemies, and the investigation continued until the next day, such as when the circumstances were heard for a long time and eventually even brought up to the Tiger Child's magical prop of reading minds.

Naturally, school is closed.

Although it proved worthwhile and innocent, the police found out that high school students were pursuing serial killers.

It was also the sermon that made the investigation prolonged.

But the sermon also stopped perfectly when, for some reason, the detective left the interview room on the way...

Am I running out of time?

It was me who wasted a long time doing that, but I found one odd thing about the detectives' reaction during the investigation.

That was when the detectives saw the scene where Anubis killed the master.

The detectives looked like they had crushed a bitter bug when they saw the unlikely footage of a card that could never hurt the master.

Normally, I'd say, "Stupid!" I should be stunned, "but their reaction was like saying," Again. "

So I intuitively thought, "Could something similar have happened before?".

If Ono's data is certain, there are more than a hundred victims of hounding nationwide. In it, I don't think there's ever been a low-end rampage like this one. Nor is the police incompetent, it would not have been once or twice that they hunted down the lower end level like this one.

Nonetheless, no one can be arrested until today, and we haven't grasped conclusive evidence, because they had evidence obliterated, like this one?

What if the houndster had acted like a suicide bomber when he handed out cards like that Anubis to everyone in the distribution...

If the lower end didn't know that fact and had simply been given a B-rank card called Anubis as a reward and proof of companionship......

I can see just a few reasons why no one has been caught so far.

Most of all, the question remains as to how to prepare the Anubis in large quantities and the sources of funding….

But if that dead lower end is a person with a disposition premise, it may be difficult to trace hounds from that background.

That meant that the Hound Man investigation was still going on.

It was in the second round of the family interview that he welcomed me back after a day-long interview.

My son, who was supposed to have fallen overworked and refrained from his adventurous career, came back after being investigated by the police after being involved in the incident. Then even our tolerant parents get angry hair.

Besides, he said he was either after it or a serial killer.

This could take up the license...... that's all I thought I had to stop, but my parents didn't even know I was after a serial killer, even though they knew I was involved in the case.

That's where I questioned the police response, too.

Normally, even if they're adventurers, if the minors are after the murderer, they call their parents and stop them.

Or it's odd that the police haven't contacted my parents when I was first attacked by a houndster in the first place.

When this happens, I also suspect that the sermon to me stopped perfectly along the way.

... I wondered if I might be swimming by the state or the police.

The labyrinth I was diving in disappeared. The state wonders if I hold the key to the extinction of the labyrinth.

Isn't that why I've been targeted by houndsmen and are letting me swim free to explore it?

No, or vice versa. A houndsman holds the key to the labyrinth extinction, and I follow a houndsman because I know it... so if the country thinks about it, it sticks.

Well, actually, I don't hold the key to the labyrinth annihilation, and it's just a matter of intent to be chasing a hound... let's just say I take it personally here.

Anyway, we were lucky that the police hadn't contacted us saying, "Your son, we're after a serial killer".

If that had been found out, surely my adventurer life would have been over.

The parents' persuasion managed to push through the legitimacy of their actions by pushing forward: "I had no choice but to request rescue when I was speaking in the family with a junior girl" and "It was a friend's girl who was being attacked and if we hadn't made it, they would have been killed".

Exactly, it's hard to be angry with a son who helped people forever. Still, they said, "Your deeds are splendid, but from now on, put your life first..."

It was me who managed to escape the pursuit of my parents, but the hard part was rather from there.

My mothers scratched their eyes and insisted on asking, "What does it have to do with the junior girl that I was talking to after school?" and "Who the hell is the classmate girl I helped?"

The pursuit was so much more intransigent than the detectives in office, it drained my spirit significantly, even though it was wearing off.

That's why I was exhausted in the morning.

"Oh... I'm running out of school..."

I want to go to a comic book coffee or something and have a blast sleep in the pack for twelve hours.

... Well, I don't execute.

It is surprisingly harsh for our school to be absent without permission, and we only have to be late to contact the house.

Besides... sometimes I am concerned about the reputation of the school.

From the classmates who don't know anything about the incident, I'm supposed to only look like the wind I'm out of school the day after I'm tangled up in Lion Hall.

It could have been rumored to be 'Tofu Mental You' or something by now because you wouldn't explain being involved in the case from the school side.

So if you rest today, the rumors will settle in as fact.

Conversely, if it's just one day, it's just ill.

So no matter how lazy you are today, you have to go to school.

That's why I headed to school in heavy footsteps......

"Ah, Shinomiya."

By chance, I ran into Shinosomiya at the school entrance.

"- Malo! Hey, hey, come here!

In the form of Mr. Shinosomiya drawing his hand, he is taken to an unpopular place behind the stairs.

"If it's here, okay? Maroon, thank you so much for yesterday."

"Oh, yeah... you know, a lot of things okay?

I confirm that I am not injured or anything from how I helped, but I don't know if I am mentally ill.

Usually a strong girlfriend is also an old girl, it's not strange to have trauma or anything against a man because he was attacked by a thug.

but she laughed in an obvious way.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Thanks to Malloy's help, I'm not hurt. More than that, I need to ask you a few questions about that time..."

Someplace awkward like that, Mr. Shinosomiya. The content of the question was generally predictable.

"You know something about that killer, huh?

"Oh, yeah..."

"Well... simply put, I was after that killer... or that group."

"Uh... you mean you were investigating criminals? Even though you're in high school?

I snorted bitterly at Shinosomiya, who was a poker.

"Well, I'm aware that you're doing something dangerous.... but I was attacked by that group of killers too..."

"Oh, what could be Lotus Wah's loss...?

As I nodded, she looked up to heaven with her hands on her forehead.

"Ahhh... I see, so..."

"... So, why is Mr. Shinosomiya?

While I was a little confused about what to ask, I decided to ask.

I've been listening to the situation, so I thought,

"Ah, in a nutshell, you said you got the scouts we talked about before"

"... Didn't you advise that there's a case going on targeting newcomers mainly?

When I say it in a slightly angry breeze, she looks away at first...

"Ugh... I remember that... your mother went down."

"... well, that's"

Now on the contrary, I'm more awkward and distracted.

"Oh, don't worry, it's not a serious illness or anything. Well, it feels normal to heal if you operate and rest. But the reason for the big book is overwork. Come on..."

………………

I was born and raised in a wealthy house, and commented on the hard family situation, saying that I couldn't say anything...

"So if you're worried about your mother, it doesn't make sense. The mess pissed me off."

Seeing how I was like that, Shinosomiya joked and said so. I laugh at her like that, too. It was the same with us that I was pissed off at the lump.

"So, are we going to be adventurers?

"Yeah, just if all of a sudden this happens. I requested rescue from the beginning, and I lost the card I got from the office..."

Incidentally, there is no personal burden on the cost of the rescue request because it was a case. However, it may have been troublesome depending on the contents of the contract for the card to be loaned from the office.

"... maybe if we're talking about paying off cards or something like that, we'll cooperate."

"Oh, that's okay. Because there was no contract per se, and rather, on the contrary, you get quite a bit of that compensation or something."

Compensation...... Whatever you think, it would be the stopping fee or the money in that hand.

A talent belonging to the Adventurer was attacked on the first day as a request from the office. It's a situation where the office's involvement could be suspected in the case itself, and you wanted to decide that you didn't have the contract itself as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I'm sorry to say, but I don't think I'd pay a lot of compensation to an unnamed new model opponent like Mr. Shinosomiya.

... Well, after everything went blank, she was safe, and the money went in, which in total might have been a plus.

"But... that was really helpful... seriously, that was cool"

When I was thinking about that, Mr. Shinosomiya dyed his cheeks slightly and told him to squirm.

"Oh, uh, yeah... you're welcome. It's a coincidence."

"Results. Results matter, for those who were helped. Well, I'd like to thank you for that... request, no?

That's what Shinosomiya says as she fiddles with her hair in a restless manner.

"Uh-huh."

What's the matter? It's more than a real coincidence that I helped her get something in return than a real coincidence. But I also know how much easier it is to give thanks at times like this.

Oh, yeah! A flash runs on my head.

"Well, sweeten to your words"

"Oh, yeah! What? What? Say anything?

I said to her, scratching her cheeks, brightening her face.

"Well, I can't ask you to set up a meeting with Mr. Taurukura or something... is that a ssss?

――――……………………

Pitali, and Shinomiya stop.

………………………………………………

"Uh... Dames, huh?

"............... yeah? Nothing? Okay? So you want to go play" Quiet Song and Two ". Ok."

Nicoli laughs and says so, Mr. Shinosomiya.

All right! I'll gut pose inside.

As a matter of fact, I haven't been able to re-approach her since she asked me out for Christmas to say no.

Sometimes it was that the adventurer business was busy, but he just couldn't have the courage to ask me out again than he once refused.

I was able to go to battle before, also because I had nothing to lose.

Because of this, I was able to talk about it normally, but I didn't want to break that relationship.

But I can't stay like this forever.

If she had a boyfriend while I was wrapping my fingers around, I wouldn't be able to regret it.

There is also a pity about asking that friend to mediate to invite a child you like, but if you don't borrow this, Mr. Shinosomiya will feel comfortable.

I was in the mood to praise myself for being a nice idea.

"So, when exactly is it good or something?

"Uh... I've got a lot going on right now, so I'll call you when I'm calm."

"Yeah, okay"

Hey, we've been unlucky here, but we're finally getting lucky, aren't we?

And he's fucking laughing...

Let's go to class.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shinosomiya took his hand.

"Oh, yeah."

Shinosomiya pulls my hand and I head to the classroom.

The eyes of the other students looking at this one with amazing eyes are strangely embarrassing while dodging the feeling of a soft hand completely different from that of the man.

But it's also my fault to shake it off, and while I was wondering what was going on, I followed him to the classroom.

You should just let go of me now, Shinosomiya will open the door.

The sound of a well-opened door gathered the gaze of the entire classroom.

I look at us, I look at our gripped hands, and my gaze gathers even more amazing.

but my classmates will be here soon.

"Oh, Kitakawa! I heard you! You said you helped Shinosomiya, who was attacked by other adventurers in the labyrinth?" "Wow, I'll do it!" "Well, the labyrinth isn't just a monster, it's a danger like that." "After all, adventurers are expensive."

"What? Hey......!?

Hey, what, this!

I let them curl my eyes black and white.

How do they know about that?... Is there only one candidate?

When I saw Mr. Shinosomiya, he winked lightly at me.

... commonsense thought, someone nearly attacked me, what a story I should want to hide from a woman's point of view. Because even if the vast majority sympathize, a very small number of people with inferior character can make funny, crazy evil moves at it, and make unusual rumors.

Despite this, did you spread so much... for me?

I guess he diffused information from himself to soar my stock down in one thing with Lion Hall the other day.

Looking over to the classroom, my classmates' eyes turned to a favorable thing at once, and the group of Lions Hall looked away uncomfortably when they glanced at me.

In it, there's no sign of Lion Hall. Yesterday today, did it just get hard on your face?

And, where the waves of classmates drew, Mr. Taurukura spoke.

"Oh, Kitagawa-kun. Thank you so much for Maple."

I tried to say back to her with a heartfelt smile, "Never mind because it's a coincidence," and I realized.

No, wait, is it really a coincidence?

The labyrinth where Mr. Shinosomiya was diving was not so far from the family we were in. And Mr. Taurakura was getting confirmation that day that I was going to get together in my usual family.

"... did you direct me so that I could help Mr. Shinosomiya in case?

"Huh? With Doyuko?

Shinomiya looks surprised by my words.

"Haha... I'm not so much a guide, but I was wondering if Kitagawa-kun might be able to help me when I'm near the family."

"What, but I didn't say to the static song about diving into the labyrinth that day, and I picked the labyrinth myself,"

"You know, even if I said I quit with my mouth, I mean it differently. We've been dating since before kindergarten, right? Besides, if Maple's character, he'd try to get into the labyrinth soon anyway before he changed his mind, and he wondered if he'd choose a labyrinth near school. I've just been blowing the characteristics of a labyrinth close to the family from it into Maple for a long time as a labyrinth recommended for beginners..."

No, that's what people call induction...

Shinosomiya pulls his cheek when he learns that he was completely rolled over Mr. Taurakura's palm.

"Wow, you've been out for a while, Black Quiet Song"

"Don't be black."

"haha...... but thanks...... still song"

"You're welcome!"

Yeah there was a guy pounding and slapping me on the shoulder watching the heartwarming sights of the two beautiful girls one step away from talking and...

"Oh, master. You just handled it."

"Oh, Ono. Well, it's a complete coincidence, Mr. Taurura's meal."

"Results. Results matter."

I laugh bitterly at the same line as Mr. Shinosomiya.

"Now the stock that went down because of Lion Hall is back to normal... no more than that. Big deal."

"Well said, you spread the word."

Niyali, and Ono laughing.

Same goes for Shinosomiya who was resting yesterday. Nonetheless, as of today, it's spreading throughout the class because some guys spread it. He's the only one like that.

"By the way, is the Lion Hall guy resting today?

When I asked him that, Ono looked serious.

"Hmm? Oh, since yesterday..."

"Yesterday? No way..."

"No, we talked about yesterday's teacher and just how high fever is."

What... is it just a cold?

No......

"Once again, advise the Lion Hall guys from Ono's handlers. At least never go into the labyrinth alone."

"I already told him that. Exactly this time of year. Shinoshimiya has been attacked, and the lion's hall is going to weigh itself down."

Have you moved me yet? Speaking of which, you said I'd leave the follow-ups to you. That's Ono.

"Now, leave that story alone.... about the victim's adventurer circle, okay?"

"Huh!... how'd it go?

"Totally black or. The Adventurer Circle, to which the victim belonged, all did under the umbrella of the Star Mother's Society. Even so, the members were only looking for a card exchange or something, and I don't think they were interested in the activity itself."

"Right..."

Now, is the connection clear?

But... I think so.

Assuming the Star Mother's Society is the culprit, why attack the followers of the organization...

Is it a maneuver that deflects the attention of suspicion by daring to attack believers?

Then it should be safer to pretend to be completely irrelevant.

If the Star Mother's Society is the culprit, it won't attack its own followers on the contrary...?

Or is making you think so an end in itself?

Behind or behind that again?

In the meantime, I sent the current information to the weavers.
