"Even so, it's amazing. I can't believe no one's ever seen the killer before, but somehow I realize he's such a person."

"Profiling is an investigative technique. Half of the countless suspects are men or women, and if you limit them to their age, profession, and hobbies, you can ultimately narrow them down to a few."

Concon and Celia pointed a sharp line of sight at me. [M]

"... Rosie, I've been wondering where the hell you learned that stuff before. At least nobody in King's Landing has the skills and knowledge you need."

"I didn't learn anything from anyone else. I'm just imitating the crystal of the experience someone built with their heart and blood. Most of what I've shown you so far is true."

"Is that someone else's technique for distracting you?

"Anyone can slightly shift the argument in a direction that is convenient to them. It's just a conversation."

"... hmm, okay. I'm going to guide you today."

Celia snorted uncomfortably and put her cheek wand on.

"So, here it is. What kind of person do you see as a" patchworker ”? Let's take a look at the profiling and how it works."

"That's fine, but from my point of view, it really lacks objectivity. If you both feel uncomfortable or have any opinions, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'm going to take my fried feet, and I'm going to have to deny it straight away."

Seeing Risha and Celia nodding, she took a breath and put her hands on her chin.

All right, let's start thinking.

First of all, I wonder about my age and occupation. Seven years before the execution, the case itself had been going on for a long time. Is that right?

"Yes, the first case of a patchworker was confirmed eight years ago - that is, the age at which three adults could be abducted and killed."

"Let me add. Considering the state of the body and the absence of witnesses despite the bold crimes, he has advanced medical technology and is familiar with the human flow in King's Landing. Young people should be excluded first."

Lisha twisted her neck as she looked up diagonally.

"Hmm, I think it's right to exclude young people, and I'm convinced that I know how people work. But...."

Celia nodded deeply at Risha's words.

"Rosie, what you're trying to say about advanced medical technology is that it's surgical, like sewing wounds together? Healing with healing magic devices is the mainstay in this king's capital, and such technology has been obsolete for a long time. I can't find a patchworker when I see a doctor."

Ah, and leak your voice.

I remembered that Natalia treated me with magic devices during an operation to infiltrate Lord Ziolas' mansion.

In addition to disinfecting and protecting the wound, there is no need for sutures in the first place. Because healing with magic instruments completely blocks the wound.

Where I got seriously injured, it didn't change. The magic gear used will only turn into a higher rank.

This is not the case, of course, as long as the magic equipment is so remote that it does not circulate.

But we are here in King's Landing, Romeria. This area is at the forefront of magic equipment research, and the city is filled with magic equipment regardless of the system.

"... yes, that's right. I don't know, I totally figure out my age."

"What? But... can a child kill someone and sew their body up like a puzzle?

Risha shows disgust on her face.

The question is correct in itself.

"In a technical sense, yes, children are more likely not to be able to do it. But if you're talking about brutality, age doesn't matter. As I explained earlier, there is no point in applying psychopaths to the general moral framework."

Well then, you can exclude the children...

"No, if I think about it again, I have an idea. There are about two kids who could do that."

The branch of the possibility that was supposed to have been cut off, which would not have even led to an idea.

After all, I still ignore the situation in this world.

I'm not used to magic equipment in a world where it's obvious.

Whether the world changes or there are species other than humans, the creature that lives with emotion does not change.

That is why technology as a fraudster is common, and there are opportunities to make use of knowledge that does not exist in this world.

But the standards in me are still the same as in the past. [M]

I am trying to adapt, but it may be a long time before I have been pointed out such a preliminary thing.

"... alright! I'll be late for my age."

I clap my hands to change my feelings.

"I'll ask someone I know tomorrow. Have you ever sewn a wound with a needle or thread?"

"Rosie, where do you think you are? Immigration from elsewhere may still be possible, but if he's a kid, he'll be out of the question of knowing the city."

"That's not true."

He smiled and waved his finger at Celia.

"I don't have magic tools, I can treat injuries without using magic tools, I know the city very well, kid - there are people close to us who meet the conditions."

Remove the sample piece of paper from the pocket.

"One person's name is Gili, and I'm a college student and I'm an informant. I'm from this city, but I don't have a last name. And there's another kid in his situation. His name is..."

"... Christina"

As she murmured, Celia held her head.

"So you're saying that the Patchworkers are from or affiliated with Slum Town, northeast of King's Landing?
