The body raises water vapor and smoke while dripping water.

The fire went out in view of the condition just now.

If you first discovered when you heard the screams, the time to this moment is about five minutes. It takes at most 10 minutes for the autonomous organization to arrive and sort out the situation.

Given that it is still more likely to be closed now, it is a contest to see how much information we can gather in the last 10 minutes.

……

Breathe out long and turn on the focus switch.

I've seen the scene of the murder, but that's after the body was taken care of.

Nevertheless, what is different is the mere presence or absence of a body, which does not change in itself.

I suppress my emotions, I just read the information there.

"Rosie, what are you doing...?!

Ignore Millace's restraint and approach the body.

Stay on one knee and enter observation.

Man in terms of skeleton and physique. Almost all of your body is burned. All the clothes are burning up.

The area around the body was flooded. Splashes are scattered over a fairly wide area.

The part that could not penetrate the ground was in a puddle. It turns out he needed a lot of water to put out the fire.

The surface of the puddle was slightly floating with oil film.

If it is not subcutaneous fat seeped from the body, it is oil brought in from somewhere. It must have been used as a combustion aid.

... no, it's not true. The oil hanging from the back of the tombstone with the body stuck tightly.

When I wiped it with my fingers, the colour was almost transparent and there was almost no smell. Vegetable oil or vegetable oil close to it.

In other words, he was greased and set on fire here. Stunned or already killed.

Though I hadn't thought about it in the first place, the suicide line disappeared completely.

No matter how tough your mental strength is, it is difficult to maintain this posture while burning your whole body.

If he had been burned alive, he would have died on the ground after wandering around instead of leaning against the grave.

"... well, here's the place."

I wipe my hands with a coarse cloth that I used instead of a handkerchief and stand up.

Now I know roughly what was going on.

And then--

Keira.

She called out to the elf woman who was looking down with her hands down.

Even if I look at it, the focus is uncertain, and I just blink again and again.

I'm not worried.

"Keira-san, it's okay. Come on, take my hand."

Grab her wrist and guide her, placing her right hand on her left hand.

Brand new scratches around palms, fingertips and joints. There were also places where the skin peeled and bled.

"... that's the man you taught me. He said he liked it."

"I tried to put out the fire. But it's hard to disappear, so...."

Didn't you hear what I said?

A squeezing tremor returns.

"At first, there was Ole. But... at some point, it wasn't Ore anymore..."

Keira.

"Because I couldn't put out the fire.... Or... Or..."

"Keira-san, listen carefully. Even if you could put out the fire right away, I wouldn't be able to help you."

Keela's pupils open and her muscles under her eyes become tense.

Yeah, that's the look I expected.

It's good that it worked, but it's a bit chaotic to have to do it while knowing what's going to happen next.

Ugh!

I was pushed over my shoulders and fell on my back.

She was pressed up and grabbed by her collar.

"No! I'm the one who died because I was a guzz nerd!

"No, I didn't say that."

Grab a collar and gently lay your hand over it.

"His soul is calm. This is not the case with a man who is burned to death by fire. So don't worry, it's not your fault Ole died."

"... but!

"You saw my fortune. I know a past I don't know, and I know a future I don't know. You can even talk to dead people."

When you smile like that, your grip feels weak as if you're relaxed.

"... are you sure it's not my fault?

"You didn't light the fire in the first place, did you? Rather, they were trying to gather people together to put out the fire. There's no one to blame Keira for looking at her worn-out hands."

I gently stroked my fingers as I said it.

Did you finally notice the pain? Keela's cheeks twitched.

"I have to take care of you."

"Mmm...."

Keira stood up with her hands off her collar and trembling legs.

"Rosie!

Mirais is rushing in.

Though I wish you could help me a little faster, I was rather helpful because there was a possibility that I would get stubborn if I did it badly.

I wonder if this kind of slow pace is the reason why men are so popular.

"What happened to Keela? I can't believe I suddenly pushed Rosie down...."

"It's okay, Keira was just a little confused. My friend was on fire right in front of me, so I couldn't help it."

"Eh, lie...! Then that's it...."

"I knew Mr. Millace, too. I'm really sorry this happened."

Mirais nodded and looked at Keira with a sad face.

And I noticed where they woke me up.

One, two... no, more.

Several footsteps are approaching us.

So the time is up?
