Keira returns the soup served on the plate to the pan to reheat.

Long wooden cylinders like water bottles on the sides.

I guess you're going to take it to Ol, who's lurking somewhere.

"... Really, I'm surprised"

Point your gaze at the puffy, leaky Keira.

"Didn't you think they'd notice?

"No, that's true, too -"

Lift from the fire in front of the boil, tilt the pan and pour the soup slowly.

The raised white hot air filled the room a little chilly.

"Rosie says you don't blame me for killing people."

Cotton, and put the water bottle down and look at me over my shoulder.

My anxious eyes were shaking quietly.

"I'm not affirming murder anything else, and I'm not going to say it's something I can't help. I just understand a little bit of how you felt about the murder. [M] So I was just trying to help."

"... that's strange. Even though I don't think you would ever understand how I feel if someone else told you the same thing. They think Rosie might understand."

"Yes, because that's a fraud."

Keira turned her eyes round as she was surprised, then laughed at the dullness.

Such a smile, like a load of shoulders just a little down.

"Damn, Rosie, you've lived in a way that people can't tell you before, too. You shouldn't look like a normal kid."

"Everyone who lives here, right? You have an invisible wound, or you're hiding a past that hurt someone."

"... well, yeah"

Keira, with a bitter face and a broken tooth, takes the jacket she was wearing in front of the front door.

"Well, let's go"

"I know you do, but let's go make sure no one finds us. I'll take care of it when I have to."

She smiles gently at Keira, leaving the candlestick light on and her house behind.

It's the same dark outside. The color of the night was darker than when I came here.

"Take the lead because I'll make sure you stay out of it. Because if anything happens, I'm gonna slap you in the back."

"So here's what we'll do?

As I interact in a low voice, I am inadvertently held by my hand.

You're totally being treated like a child.

"... let's go"

It's also a waste of time to argue, so I decided to spoil this situation.

I have no other intention. It's easy to give Keira instructions from me, and I'm just saying this is more efficient.

I don't know if it makes sense, but I'm going to look back a few times just in case and make sure there's no tail.

Although there's nothing I can do about them if they're professionals, just looking back at them on a whim like this can be as much of a restraint.

At times like this, it helps to have Risha.

"Rosie, wait here."

A few minutes to keep walking, we came in front of an empty house on the outskirts of the village.

Keira turns to the back of the empty house in a way she's used to. He's probably been here a few times at the bottom.

One was left, and I decided to make a perimeter observation first.

There is no light on the empty house.

Naturally about this.

It's like saying there's someone there if the lights are leaking out of a house where no one is supposed to be.

Though preliminary, there are surprisingly many cases where a place is exposed due to neglect of consideration around here.

"The footprints... three"

Although I can't rely on the moonlight alone, if I put my face close, I can see something.

Two for me and Keira, and the other for Ol, I guess.

It's an inadvertent thing to say that you're in a position that you'll never find.

"Come in."

When I was doing that, the empty entrance opened just a little, and I heard Keira from inside.

I duly erase my footprints before entering the house and closing the door so as not to make any noise.

Compared to the outside, it was slightly warmer inside.

"This way."

It was a small room about 6 tatami tatami that was guided.

It's a pretty killer landscape because it's empty so it's obvious but there's no furniture or sense of life.

As Keira walks to the corner of the room, she rings her toes several times with Conn.

Then...

"Keira, what's up?

"Well... someone wants to see Ol."

Batan, and the floor door opens with momentum.

I see, did you modify the underfloor storage into an entrance to the basement?

"Wait, Ol. Rosie will help us."

"... eh, cooperation? Oh, my God."

I saw this one. I have eyes for eyes with Ol.

But after an unexpected look on his face, he tilted his neck to wrap a thread of memory.

I can't help not knowing.

I've never even seen his face before. [M]

"Nice to meet you...... no, it's been a while. Ever since we met in the Misty Forest. The Seiran emblem I borrowed from you was very helpful."
