The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man - 163 Episode 40 Investigation (1) Information Collection

Without keeping the fork in my hand and slightly moving, I was happily observing Lillinor cheeking the teriyaki chicken.

“What’s up? You’re not gonna eat?

……

To my doubt, without affirmation or denial, I drop my gaze on my cooking.

Today’s menu includes teriyaki chicken with rice, miso soup and tomato and cabbage salad.

It’s a typical common dish, and from her, who has only ever had an elegant meal called court cuisine, it’s all unknown. I don’t know if I can do it.

“Sister Olivia, it’s delicious.”

Olivia also takes it to her mouth when she pierces the teriyaki chicken with a fork for a sumptuous meal that she doesn’t think is the Virgin.

Well, do you eat? I thought I’d leave you without a bite.

……

I close my lid tightly and try to carry it to my little mouth with my trembling hands.

Nothing wormless, it’s not a snake-like Getestuff dish, even though it can be so alarming.

Finally in his mouth, Olivia bites a few times.

“Huh!!?”

He opened his eyes and was moving his mouth for a while, but the next moment, he starts eating with momentum.

Lilinoa loosening her cheeks to Olivia, who has flattened her neglected dishes and still seemingly overlooks the plate.

“I’m glad your sister likes it.”

And you’re my sister. It’s actually Olivia’s brother’s daughter, so for Lillinor, she’s an aunt, but she’s only two or three years old. I guess my sister is appropriate.

“Beh, I don’t like anything else”

Lillinor smiles bitterly at Olivia, who turns that way like an infidelity rotten.

Now I don’t know which one is older.

“I’m also pressing for time. If you rest a little longer, we’ll go get some information.”

Put on the mask and run the transceiver.

“Gray, that mask and weird voice item, do I have to?

“Oh, there are a lot of mixed circumstances here, too. And it’s not grey out there, it’s Syllabe Sagami.”

Earlier, Lillinor has told me many times about masks and voice-over machines that I refuse. Apparently, this disguise of mine was considerably underrated by her. Well, it’s not like I found out about the evaluation from the kids.

Well, let’s bring some tea, too. Stand up from your seat and walk away toward a self-service tea corner.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

Exit into the streets of Straheim.

First of all, on the way to the scene of the incident, a liquor store – a bear bee – where about 32 people were dissolved in drools. Plus, the material Willie gave me said that they were all alive for about half a day or more, even though it was such a drool.

“Here.”

The bear bee (Kumabachi) was in a back alley leading to a large north-south street northeast of Straheim.

Because of that incident, a third of the stores around us are closed. Pedestrians don’t seem like Straheim either, and this doesn’t make it a business. Perhaps of course.

There were two guardian-like adventurers in front of the bear bee.

“Thank you.”

Now, come closer, raise your right hand, and say hello.

“Good. A replacement! I just wanted to finish guarding such a noisy place!

I’m not greatly surprised to see my children, I guess, because they recognize me.

Well, I’ve been dealing with guys like Munk lately, and I’m pretty prominent, too.

“Oh, you’re not commissioning because you’re highly paid. I don’t feel alive!

One of the skinny adventurers exhaled a sigh of relief and the other began to pack his bags.

That’s very hard to say.

“I’m sorry, we came to investigate the incident at the direction of the Alliance. It’s not a change of security.”

“Seriously……”

“That’s right.”

Even if you look like you’re about to cry. It would be much more dangerous for us to investigate.

“Coming in.”

“Go ahead. Be careful.”

To throw, gently thank the adventurer offering his right hand into the room.

Chairs and tables are scattered throughout the bear bee shop, and bright red stains like paint are present all over the floor.

Apparently, in order to solve the case, the guild didn’t keep his hands on the crime scene.

“Terrible……”

Blood was drawn from the whole body of Lillinor, who groaned so.

……

And Olivia is pretending to be flat, but her legs are shaking in small pieces.

Maybe it was a little irritating for them. I’m instructing Hutch and Klama to take turns protecting them, and let them rest outside once.

“Lily, Olivia, you two go outside and wait.”

“No need.”

“No need.”

I get instant answers to the words of denial from both of us. These two, it’s called having silver hair, would be too similar. It’s like a twin.

Don’t push it.

They say you’re here. There is no more danger than I have on. I’ll do whatever you want.

I started investigating the room again.

I searched around for an hour, but I can’t find anything like a clue.

“You don’t see anything novel.”

You’re finally used to this disgusting room, and Lillinor looks back at me and waves that word at me.

“Not really. All right. First of all, it’s not just people who melt, it’s chairs and tables.”

“What’s wrong with that!? There’s no big difference!!”

With a blue-white face, Olivia still screams as she puts a handkerchief on her mouth.

“No, this is how we can locate the killer.”

“Did you find out where the killer was!?”

“Where!

to the two stuffing people, I pointed to the table in the corner,

“Maybe the killer was sitting there”

I assure you.

“I’d like to know why.”

“Firstly, because only the table in the corner there isn’t melting. Besides, not a drop of blood on it. I’m guessing the surgery was activated around there. Otherwise, it’ll melt down to the activator.”

“So the activator of the spell was sitting in this seat, right?

Olivia’s guy, he’s sharp inside.

One of the seats at this table. Only half of the chairs that fall melt in the drool. For example, the one sitting across from this seat is the activator of the surgery.

“Well, let’s investigate this place with one more thought.”

“Right.”

Me and Olivia nod at Lillinor’s suggestion and reopen the investigation.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

That’s not so sweet. I still couldn’t find a clue that would lead to the killer.

Or, if there was a legacy that could lead to the killer, it would be in the Adventurer Alliance submission report.

“What are we going to do next?

Olivia seems to be a different person from her initial unwillingness.

“Seems pretty motivated, though?

“Naturally. We cannot afford to overlook such a foolish place of business in my country!

Grasp the right fist firmly and declare forcefully. I see. The sense of justice is strong. I don’t mind that in itself. The anger of this hand is sure to be the driving force behind the investigation.

However, there is also the danger of being dragged up too far into the case and vice versa into the main cast of the scene of that tragedy. The case isn’t over yet. I need you to cool down a little.

Materials given by the Alliance indicate that as many as 28 people went to a bear bee (Kumanbachi) for a drink on the same day and were not lucky enough to encounter the incident.

Maybe we should hear the story from a few people today and end it.

“Let’s go.”

I encouraged the two of them to leave the scene of the tragic incident behind.

“You didn’t get much useful information.”

The third person situational hearing is completed. All in all, the atmosphere seeped out often that we didn’t want to get involved anymore. Inside, it’s going to be difficult to solve.

“Right, now I’ve got enough information today. And then we’ll go back to the Chamber of Commerce and sort out the information we got.”

Hi Olivia has too much heat. Sleep overnight and she’ll cool off a little too.

“Though I think the concubine should continue to investigate a little more?

“Let’s go.”

Lillinor, who read my intentions, laughed bitterly at Olivia as she swelled her cheeks and turned to her, and we returned to the Chamber of Commerce.
