Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

Tips and. Hearing the footsteps echoing from the stone staircase, Dr. Locke threw his voice without even looking at his opponent's face as he did paperwork.

"You're a shield cunt? Want some coffee? Or would you like some tea?

Only a limited number of people visit the research building.

Student...... Especially since female students would never lean on it unless they had some kind of submission, it was about substance, drifting protection and Edvin coming. And now I'm in class. If so, there is only drift protection taking time off on Mia's case.

And I thought...

"Different people, but tea, please"

Apparently, the alarm has passed, Dr. Locke admonishes himself.

Dangerously, "Tea in this world has different flavors and is strong, but hey" and so on.

Turning around, a non-drifting person stood at the entrance to the room. It was the face I found out about.

"Sorry, wrong person. Can I have some water?

"Hahaha. That's a terrible treatment"

"'Cause you fellows are busy, aren't you? Can I have a slow cup of tea or something here?

"Coming here is one of the finest things you can do."

A man over forty wearing the same white coat as the Doctor, with no weirdness whatsoever.

He was one of the researchers affiliated with Wang Du's Divine Chant "Oracle" research department. He sits back on a couch he's not even recommended to.

"That's why I wouldn't even have to go out like this if Dr. Rock would even use one of the divine chants of communication, Oracle..."

"I told you a long time ago. I don't want to use technology that hasn't been figured out."

"F, God's grace. What is' Unelucidated Technology '? If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't be acceptable."

Cotto...... and Dr. Locke puts the cup in front of the man.

"Even though there's such a thing as" Divine Chanting "Oracle" Research Department, I'm not even saying that right now. "

To the Doctor's words, the researcher laughs haha.

"And for me, I think it's more rude to be rude to God to just spoil and enjoy it because it's God's grace. How could God have given such power? What logic activates the Divine Chant" Oracle "? Instead, God tells us to try to explain them. I'm trying to see people's will to move forward. That's what I think."

"Huff... you want to apprentice"

No... and the man soothes his mouth in the cup. I coughed up golly.

"Here, this... water..."

"So can I have some water? I told you."

So don't really get the water out... and the guy with the bitter look on his face slowly put the cup back on the table.

"So, what can I do for you?

The doctor, who told the inconvenient story with the most plausible reasoning and water hospitality, encouraged himself to stay on the couch while sitting down.

"Yeah, yeah... did you know that about a week ago, a 'Expend' girl went up in Dealey with a body?

"No. That's my first ear."

The city of Dealey. A week ago.

It's just time Mia went missing.

"I'm the girl… I've been spotted several times in the past, and I've been identified with the same trail as the 'example victims'"

…………

The Doctor asks as he lights a cigarette in a match.

"... where was it?

"It's the brain. It was... it was nicely removed."

About a year ago?

In the realm of the Reindeer kingdom, strange bodies had been discovered more than once.

It's not uncommon or anything for a person's body to be found in this world, as the Doctor himself told Exodus.

Raindeer is a relatively secure area, but if you still take off the streets, things like a body with a cracked head, a body with a punch in the gut, a body devoured… are overflowing in the sense of the word.

If the bodies are rolling near the streets of Wang Du or the city, they are rarely recovered by the soldiers.

In such a fold, the Doctor realizes that there are bodies with odd commonalities in the quantum of several accidental appearances.

Perhaps, Doctor from Modern Japan...... you wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't Iwami Fai, what we have in common.

One body has a heart. One body, the whole brain. One body sneaks around the spinal cord. Only these areas have been removed and the body has been properly sutured, as if to conceal it.

There were multiple such bodies to be identified.

Initially I was surprised to see if there was a concept of 'anatomy' in this world, but if you think about it carefully, the history of anatomy is old even on Earth.

But I looked into it, and it was still not so much a pervasive technology in this Grim Crows.

For example, the appendix can be scattered without rupturing it with Oracle, the God of Recovery. We don't even need surgery.

Conversely, severe symptoms that cannot be treated with the technique of recovery require surgery.

Regardless of the illness for which the means of treatment were established, as in "Meegelint muscle attenuation," it also seemed infrequent that the condition equals almost too late to have an autopsy.

Now, the bodies found and recovered will be lightly quantified, but neither customs nor techniques are as detailed in this world as modern Japan.

It was really a coincidence that I discovered a large suture mark on the head of a body. There was no suture removal and it did not look like a suture mark during life. If that presumption is correct, it would mean that the part in question was cut open after the killing and deliberately sewn and closed.

I looked into it suspiciously, and the "contents" were removed.

"Again, the Doctor used to say... serial... something like that?

"You're a serial killer. Hmmm......"

Serial Killer, a hunting serial killer who takes away part of a body, is not uncommon.

But... heart, brain, spinal cord. The Doctor was hooked on the fact that he was pulling out only one of these.

For example, with a body without a heart, the brain is always safe. If it's a body without a brain, your heart is safe. None of the three sites, two or all, had been removed. Always, there is only one missing area.

It is believed that being sutured on purpose after removal meant that the killer did not want this to be known.

To be honest, the suture marks are cluttered, and at first glance you can tell, but the tree is exactly a theory of concealment in the woods - it was a total coincidence that we found bodies with those characteristics in mass recovery of tragic bodies. Residents of this world would not have cared.

"This time the victim was' Expand ', wasn't it? I think if we manage to figure out who owns it, it's gonna be a pretty big step forward."

"Yeah... we agree, but it's still hard"

"Expenditure" is a slave who, as the word goes, is called "consumable".

It was basically a term used when the 'owner' was a person of the kind such as a mafia or outlaw.

'Expend' is not treated as a person properly, and human rights do not exist as a matter of course.

Probably would be cut off his leg tendon so he wouldn't get away with it as soon as he was bought, slapping every 'negative' part of the human race.

As a result, major injuries, debilitation, illness, pregnancy… If elements occur that 'the owner' decides are annoying, they will be relentlessly killed and abandoned.

Thoroughly treated like an 'object', 'Expand' was very difficult to identify, even if it was discovered in an unusual way.

There is no such thing as strict personal information management or good scientific investigation in this world. In the absence of any hint, it is tantamount to searching for the Lord of the Lost.

".................., fu..."

When I first came to this world, I remembered when I learned about Grimcrows, Iwawave Fai had bad chest feces.

With cigarette smoke, I exhale that feeling.

'Expand' will never be reduced.

Underdeveloped in all parts, this world is also lacking in contraception. For religious reasons, contraception and abortion are also very often not permitted.

As a result, the number of children increases, even in poor civilian lineages. In that way, the children who are no longer able to feed are sold. As a result, 'Expand' is produced.

This time Mia was sold for the same reason in the end.

A vice called 'Expend' or Slavery.

For example, Princess Liliane dreams of eradicating slavery.

It's an immature world, so it's hard to carry things well, but Dr. Rock - with his knowledge as Iwawave Fai, it's never possible to reform into a structure that doesn't require slavery.

but if the Doctor becomes a necessity and a useful actor for those reforms, he could also be targeted for his life by those who defy him.

Like the Gertillude sisters who were targeted for their lives the other day for unthinkable reasons. Four hundred years ago, like Dealey, who was stabbed and lost his life.

This is a world whose lives are threatened by unexpected things.

Unlike current protection, Iwawave Fai has no power to protect herself.

In fact, the Doctor has merited as a researcher of the Divine Chant "Oracle," known in its muscles as a well-known person, but has been targeted by those who do not feel comfortable with the study of the Divine Chant "Oracle".

That's one of the reasons why the Doctor lives and works for the College, not the Wang Capital.

Within the College, suspicious persons cannot approach the Doctor either.

The most targeted story was nearly five years ago, and now there will be no more danger, but as for "Iwawave Fai," who lived in a modern Japan where there was no exchange of life, etc., the chances of going out naturally were diminished.

I can't stand out. I can't imitate the devious.

Rumors will spread no matter how much you try to hide your existence if it involves, for example, the reform of slavery.

Exactly like drift protection since I came to this world.

But I can't be a hero like him.

So at least the people around you - Leafia, I hope you're happy.

This time though, such a vice has become familiar...... it has affected Mia......

Anyway, 'Expand' would not be an exaggeration when it comes to negative symbols in this world.

Even in this case of Mia, she said it was the Mafia Redrack that was competing with her shield to the end... but if Redrack were to race her down, Mia would be the 'Expand' -

"Hmm...?

"What's wrong, Doctor?"

The body of 'Expend' found in Dealey.

Time after time, Mafia...... Mia was about to be bought by the Redrack family.

"Sure Dealey is huge... but I wonder if it's a coincidence, is this...?

"Doctor?"

"We're talking about something now, aren't we?

"Yes."

"Okay. Will you call a few escorts? Shall we go out once in a while? Something new, I have a feeling."
