I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

To my mind, I'm pretty sure it was in The Mysterious Group that Olivia was talking about that drove Noel, the orphan, to death. Whatever this group is, people's thoughts are too strong in this world to make a difference in the world.

Let's say it's a bunch of bandits. Noel was one of the orphans who lived in the mansion, and his hateful resentment became a ghost when the bandits came along with his family companions. It's not an impossible story.

For example, a group led by a special demon clan. Rumor has it it it's an undead group, but let's see it as something close to it. What I'm thinking is the demon clan of Qi (virus) that transformed Leila, who was originally human, into an S-ranked demon clan, a demon clan of the same quality as The Red Night.

There was a demon clan who possessed Noel's body, who died of hunger or something, and transformed him into a ghost demon clan... this is not an impossible story either. Talk that just isn't directly related to the cause of death.

I feel that a group with those special elements, or just a bunch of Utah people, or either way, factors that just make Noel a ghost, go hand in hand.

The problem is, either way, Noel and the orphans don't need to be killed.

Even if you're not a bandit, if you're a bunch of normal people, you came to the mansion because you had business with the mansion itself. Whether to base or to manage historic artifacts, orphans flee if adults come. Probably not bothering to capture and punish one orphan at a time.

If there were such things as demons and warcraft, I might kill them, but then they should be on the record of history. Because demons are entering the country.

The absence of it meant that at least the group looked 'human' from the side. The Demons look human, but there's no point in a large enough number of Demons coming to a mansion like this to be called a group. To destroy the country if it comes, I suppose.

In other words, the aim of that group is not to kill orphans, and hence humans, but in this' mansion itself '… or, unlikely,' orphans'.

'I'm thinking... fuhihihihihi...!

Noel's voice gets in his ear, but he goes through. Turning his gaze, Noel's figure comes into view.

Uh, I was just wondering there.

"Noel, is Noel 'from the beginning' that look?

Yes, it's what Noel looks like. Orphans, a little overgrown. You look like you're about 18 years old. If you died as an orphan, chances are you stayed as a little girl. Because we don't grow any more than we don't have flesh. Then the way you've grown now is strange.

"No? About 7 years old at first? It looked like it! But my soul doesn't have its shape, so I was able to change my appearance in an image somehow. These clothes are made of my soul."

Oh, I see. I'm a little jealous that it was originally about 7 years old flesh, or that when it comes to spiritual bodies, you can change your appearance, but I'm convinced.

Hmmm...... a little violent thought comes to mind because there were malicious scientists on the planet. Maybe there's a researcher in the world called Mad Scientist.

Only as a possibility, but... let's say I call myself a researcher, or would an orphan be the best person when that researcher wants to do human experiments in some kind of research? Besides, this place doesn't lean on anyone as optimal as an experimental site, and it's huge. Only the environment is in order.

I didn't kill an orphan, I let him die after some kind of human experiment, and the action of that experiment, or maybe by chance, Noel became a ghost.

"... let's just say hypothesis 1"

Once a theory of human experiments by researchers emerged.

Next time... he was killed by bandits, knights, and the general public. The bandits tried to base him, and he was killed because he was in the way. Something about an orphan reduction policy was captured by the knights and disposed of simultaneously. The general public, who stole something from him, got angry and killed him with all the momentum. They all seem possible.

Even without complicated circumstances, it's enough to explain why Noel was murdered.

"This is hypothesis 2..."

So, it's simpler next time. A debilitating death caused by suicide or famine, not murder. I mean, he died on his own, right? Hypothesis 3, where I just want to say, I don't think there's any possibility. Suicide or debilitating death won't make you a ghost first. There are no factors that make it.

What's the rest? Like Noel's the only one who died in an accident in a place unrelated to a mysterious group or famine? It's likely he fell down that staircase and died or something. For now, let's take this as hypothesis 3. Because suicide and other theories won't make sense.

Well, is this all the information we have right now? I guess I should be able to corroborate the rest. In the meantime, let's examine the researcher theory of hypothesis 1 as a leading candidate.

"Ghost, can I just let you stroll around the mansion for now?

"Fuhihi ♪ Did you come up with something? Fine, I'll show you around!

In the meantime, I've decided to look inside this mansion. I've only seen the front hall yet, so I can't say anything, but assuming the researcher theory hits me... there may be something left in this mansion to prove it. Experimental instruments, data files, and experimental processes.

Even if not, if the bandits were based there might be garbage at that time or something.

If I can't find anything -... I guess I'll dig up the grave around the mansion. Normally, dirt doesn't rot just because you buried the body. I mean, there's no such thing as burying dead bodies and dirt rotting. It's not unlikely that soil will be wasted on farming... but more than 100 years after the bodies are buried, the flesh will be largely decomposed and only boned.

It can't be normal, such as dirt rotting. Beneath this ground...... maybe there is something.

But in the meantime, I decided to take a stroll around the mansion.

"Finia and I are gonna stay here and take a little stroll around the mansion."

I left the finniers here and went up the stairs.

◇ ◇ ◇

The mansion is upstairs structure, to put it just on the floor with the room. Although it is not a room, although there is a third floor part with storage space, the high ceiling would also make the appearance look larger than the number of rooms.

The number of rooms is roughly 10 to 15 with one floor. Every room is pretty big. Although household goods and furniture were left dusty, it can be seen that they were quite superior given the times in which they were used. What a bedroom, a super huge bed was left alone. That would have been a good night's sleep, the first queens and orphans.

It was me starting with a stroll upstairs, but upstairs, in addition to the huge bed bedroom, there were a couple of rooms with the same interval with a small bed and the minimum amount of stuff needed, whether it was a servant's room. Even so, there was certainly a terrace, a room with a long table for eating, and a bathroom. Was it the costume room? There were some rooms with lots of dresses and clothes.

"... no harvest here, either,"

But there wasn't anything special about every room. There were no instruments or materials like those used for the experiment, and there was no sign that the bandits had vandalized it. Haven't you been upstairs?

With that in mind, I'll go down to the first floor. I came back to the entrance hall and I had eyes on the finers waiting on the dance floor.

"How'd it go?

"Hmm... there was nothing upstairs. I'm going to look for the first floor"

"Oh well... be careful, huh?

"I know, don't worry"

Finia, talk to you briefly, and I'll go downstairs. I'm going to look anxiously. I stroked Lulu's head in a pound.

Noel follows me from earlier. [M] No, I'm gonna be possessed, huh?

'Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"What does that mean?

Talk to Noel as he walks down the hallway on the ground floor leading down the stairs from the entrance hall.

"This mansion has been my residence for over 200 years, so I know every inch of it. From the position of the furniture to the number of spider nests, end to end. Eunbu '

"... Based on the sole, are you trying to say that this mansion is just an abandoned mansion?

"Exactly. This mansion has nothing but a mansion. Furniture, bedding, utensils, clothing, props, all kinds of things... but there's nothing strange about it, there's nothing strange about it '

I guess there really isn't. I guess there's no experimental equipment, no materials, no garbage like the bandits left behind. There will be traces of the orphans living there, but that won't be an issue.

There's nothing in this mansion that could lead to Noel's death...?

No, I don't think so.

"? What do you mean?

"At least you're dead here. Then you'll still be wearing the clothes that you wore as a corpse... otherwise I don't know what it means for you to exist here, and it's impossible for one person to die and leave no proof."

This isn't a case, find proof that a person is dead. There's more to this matter than the fact that people are dead.

There's no way a ghost can come from anywhere. Whatever it is that's boned, if we can find evidence that she's dead, it should lead us from there to another.

In the first place, there was a mysterious group of people in this mansion. Even the evidence left over from the group...

"- Ah!"

... well, come to think of it, yes. Why didn't I think of it... there was a 'mysterious group' coming to this mansion. Be a researcher, be a bandit, I was coming to this mansion regularly.

And when I explored it, there was no trace of it. So is that, because there is nothing in this mansion that would make a 'mysterious group' come. Yes, that's... 'There's only one mansion in this mansion that looks like one'.

So where and what was that 'mysterious group' doing? Rotten ground around the mansion or unusual fog...... what if this is not a natural phenomenon but something created by a person's hand?

"What did you find out?

That's what Noel asks. Oh, okay... I didn't solve all the mysteries, but I knew exactly what to look for.

Why the ground around this mansion is rotten. Why it's wrapped in fog. And the rumored 'mysterious group'.

"beneath the standing ground of this mansion -" underground, "there is something"

The first thing a mysterious group was going into the mansion was its underground space. I was doing something there. If we get here, what we're doing will probably fit the research. If you think that the ground is rotten is probably the effect of drugs or pollutants, and the fog is' gas' rather than fog, it can be explained.

Whoever once came to this mansion and died may have died of the toxicity of gas. Investigators returning as abolitionists are probably for the same reason. It doesn't affect me because it's probably highly resistant. Tolerance also works in abnormal conditions.

Lulu and the others are probably smoking lightly, so the chase will have an impact... but let's do 'Beginning of Mind' later. In the meantime, there's gas coming in from Mary's big hole inside this mansion, too, so I'll fix the mansion with "Beginning Crossing". Maybe it won't be instant, and it'll be fine.

"Noel, I'm going back to Finia and the others."

"? Yeah."

I mean, what I need to look for now is its entrance into the basement.
