Serial Hound Murder —— commonly known as the “Patchworker” case came down the curtain seven years after the last incident.
It was the contract with blood judgment that triggered it.
What was created for the purpose of helping each other and tying each other up turned out to prove the sins of two men.
There is no means in this world to identify people from fingerprints.
However, there is a decision to apply magic to the blood judgment, and if the magic is checked, it is quite possible to see if it is the person.
That was the deciding factor this time around.
The main culprit, the master “patchworker," and Albert Glendreck, who was in the dark behind it, will be punished accordingly after being investigated for the aftermath.
Send him to jail. Send him to jail, at the age of two, he won't have a chance to get out of the cage in this life anymore.
And at the same time that a true “patchworker” was found, Alec Nolent's suspicions were cleared.
Nevertheless, we have not been able to prove that the evidence was disguised.
People from autonomous organizations who appear to have been involved in disguises were also killed as mouth seals.
Still...
The arrest of the true culprit, the vengeance against the sinful, and the restoration of Alec's honor and all his ends were fulfilled.
It's over, really.
"I thought he was strange from the first time we met."
"Yeah?"
Leonard, who was next door as a witness escort, opened his mouth as he finished his testimony and left the royal castle.
"The Prime Minister, who was planning a coup in Geolas territory, is a serial killer with a great nobleman in Wang Du. Whatever the way we do it, it's more useful to people than us just hanging our swords and hanging them on. Big deal."
"There's just been too much stuff over the last six months. Sorry about the trouble for a while."
"Ha, I guess"
"Oh, yeah, yeah. You haven't thanked me yet."
"Thank you?"
Stop and reach out.
I took his hand forcefully, laughing bitterly at Leonard's wary face.
"I'm glad you're here to help. Thanks."
"Ooh. When I'm honestly thankful to you, something like this... disgusting."
"Rude. You're gonna tear everyone apart about the woman you're getting along with outside school, aren't you?
"Ha!? Oh, you, why, where..."
Something like that, and I saw a shadow waving at me from afar.
Apparently, we have a pick-up.
"Don't worry, I just messed with you. Well, here I am."
"Oh, oh, yeah, you are"
That's what I say, I walk out of here with Leonard somewhere unannounced.
You must have noticed that you can't feel safe about anything along the way, you can hear gagging noises from behind you.
Ignore it. Ignore it.
It's also bad to get caught up in such preliminary fishing.
"Welcome back, Rosie! How was it?
Reesha, in her hat, walks over here waving in her personal clothes.
"Nothing special. I just told him what he was."
I've already settled.
No need to lie, no need to plant tricks.
"Rosie."
Celia stands in front of me.
"What?"
"Well... this time, we're talking about rewards."
Leaks a sneak laugh at a voice that turns around on the way.
"... what are you laughing at?"
"I'm sorry, it's nothing. So, what's the reward story?
Removed from the robe of the uniform was a small, golden medal.
I grabbed the hand stretched out to put it on my chest to block it.
"Wait a minute"
"Huh?"
He looked at me as if his clear, deep red eyes were bewildered.
"I'm not the one who should put that on."
"... but what led the case to a resolution"
"Then it's not even me. It's a solution because we found that contract, and there were people who kept it. I think he deserves it."
It's like you miss something, and at the same time you're heartbreaking.
Celia held the medal firmly in her face, mixed with complex emotions that I couldn't even read.
"I got it."
Celia with the medal accidentally grabs my collar.
"Become --"
What I waited for before I was drawn in was the warmth and softness of human skin and the scent of lemongrass.
Tickles the feel of hair touching the neck muscle.
Beside him was Riesha, who was watching from the gap between her fingers as she covered her hands with her eyes.
"Thanks"
Whispering the word in his ear, one step at a time, Celia leaves as if she were a remnant.
"... hon."
Celia, with a red face, coughs deliberately.
"You were talking about the reward. Funds will be awarded as a reward to rebuild the Nolent family, which fell from the Wang capital. Pay this to you in full"
"No, I won't."
"... Are you making fun of me?
"A reward," he says, "but that's like making up for the fall of the Nolent family for their innocence, isn't it? Then you have to use that right. I can't throw stones anymore."
The Nolent family's discrete cause is an external factor.
Then the family can be repaired when the problem is resolved.
"Come on, what are you going to do! Weren't you in trouble for the money?
"Oh, then I found a solution."
That's what I said and took it out and showed you is one statement of rights.
"I asked for a fair reward for our work. To protect Elsa from the assailants and turn over one of the killers."
"Hmm, sounds like a letter of entitlement for the store...... you even start running it?
"Well I guess that's the place. There happened to be one shop where“ my husband ”was no longer present, so we negotiated and gave up every building. I thought I'd start a little business."
Celia, who was in the process of reading the letter of rights, caught her eye around the area where the store's name was written.
"... heh, the one named you"
There is no shadow on Celia's face, who said so and laughed, as a former avenger.
Vengeance was fulfilled —— although it may not be possible to say, I think her choice was only the right one, having judged her guilty according to the law.
Even if a sweet ruin awaits at the end of an erroneous path, a man can choose the right or painful path of his own free will.
Oh, that's it.
I thought so. In the corner of my vision, my wet dark hair danced without sound.
