The serial strange killing, commonly known as the “patchworker” case, came to an end seven years after the last incident.

It was triggered by a blood contract.

Created to help each other and tie each other together, it turned out to prove the guilt of the two men.

There is no way in this world to identify a person from fingerprints.

However, there is a decision to apply magic to the blood, and if you compare that magic, you can confirm with a reasonable degree of certainty whether or not you are the person.

This time it became the decisive factor.

Master of the crime, "Patchworker” and Albert Glendrek, who was behind it, will be punished accordingly after being found guilty.

Imprisonment or capital punishment, at the age of two, you'll never get out of the cage again.

And at the same time that the true “patchworker” was discovered, Alec Norrent's suspicions were cleared.

Nevertheless, it has not been proved that the evidence was disguised.

People in autonomous organizations who thought they were involved in disguise were also killed as mouth seals.

Still...

The arrest of the real killer, revenge on the guilty, and the restoration of Alec's honor were all served.

It's over, really.

"I thought he was weird since I first met him."

Yeah?

Leonard, who was next to him as a witness escort, opened his mouth as he finished his testimony and left the castle.

"The prime minister who was planning a coup d 'état in the Dioras is a nobleman and a serial killer in King's Land. No matter how you do it, it's more useful to people than us who hang our swords and brace ourselves. It's a big deal."

"Too many things have happened in the last six months. I'm sorry for the trouble."

"Haha, I guess."

"Oh, yeah. You haven't thanked me yet."

Thank you?

Stop and reach out.

While grinning at Alert Leonard's face, he took his hand forcefully.

"I'm glad you came to help me. Thank you."

"Oh, wow. When I thank you honestly, it makes me sick..."

"Excuse me. I'll tear everyone apart about the woman you're getting along with outside of school.

"What!? Oh, you, why, where..."

At that point, I saw a shadow of people waving at us from afar.

Looks like we got picked up.

"Don't worry, I'm just hanging out. I'll do it now."

"Oh, oh, oh, yeah."

That's what I'm saying, I'm walking away from Leonard without letting go.

You realize you can't feel safe on the way, you hear a gag noise coming from behind you.

Ignore. Ignore.

It is also bad to get caught in such a preliminary fishing.

"Welcome back, Rosie! How'd it go?

Risha, wearing a hat on her personal clothes, walks over here waving her hand.

"There's nothing special about it. I'm just telling you the truth."

It has already been settled.

No need to lie, no need to trick.

"Logic"

Celia stood in front of me.

"What?"

"Well... this time, we're talking about rewards."

He leaked a snoring laugh at the flipping voice on the way.

"... what are you laughing at?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's nothing. So, what's the reward story?

Removed from the uniform robe was a small golden medallion.

I grabbed the hand that was stretched out to put it on my chest.

Hang on a second.

Huh?

She looked at me like her crystal red eyes were confused. [M]

I'm not supposed to wear it.

"... but it was the one who led the case to a resolution."

"Then it's not me. It's the only way to solve the problem is to find the contract and have someone who can protect it. I think that person deserves it."

It's like I miss something and at the same time it hurts my heart.

Celia grasped the medallion with a mixed face with complex emotions that I couldn't read.

"I understand."

Celia, who lost her medal, accidentally grabbed my collar.

"Behind--"

The warmth and softness of the skin and the aroma of lemongrass were waiting for me before I was drawn in.

The feeling of hair touching the neck is ticklish.

Next to her, while covering her hands with her eyes, Risha was peeking from the gap between her fingers.

"Thank you."

When she whispered the words in her ear, Celia walked away one step at a time to spare the remnants.

"... Ohn"

Celia, whose face turned red, coughed deliberately.

You were talking about rewards. Funds will be awarded to rebuild the fallen Norrent family from King's Landing. I'll pay you in full. "

"No, I won't."

"... are you making fun of me?

"I'm talking about a reward, but it's like making up for the sins that drowned House Norrent, right? Then it has to be used exactly as it is. I can't throw stones anymore."

The reason why House Norrent was separated is an external factor.

Then we can fix the family when the problem is solved.

"Come on, what are you going to do! Weren't you in trouble with the money?

"Oh, so we found a solution."

That's how I took it out and showed it to you.

"They demanded just remuneration for our work. Protecting Elsa from the assailant and handing over one of the killers."

"Hmm, it looks like the rights statement of the store... are you going to start managing it?

Well, I guess so. It happened that there was a shop where my husband disappeared, so I negotiated and took over the entire building. I thought I'd start a little business. "

Celia, who was reading the rights book, noticed the area where the name of the store was written.

"... fufu, what about you?"

Celia's face, laughing like that, had no face as an avenger.

Revenge has been served - I may not say so, but I think she was right to try her sins only in accordance with the law.

Even if sweet doom awaits at the end of the wrong path, man can choose the right and painful path by his own will.

Yeah, that's good.

In the corner of my vision, my dark, wet hair danced silently. [M]
