Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

"Well, let me get into this explanation.The material was just printed out on the monitor.I want you to understand that there may be some points that we can't explain and listen to us because we will proceed on the assumption that we will probably include only inferences. "

"Hah, hah...I understand. "

It was true that even if I was to shake the conversation in a situation where there was only good, I didn't know what to do.

All the moose sitting side by side at the table nodded ambiguously.

After all, the story doesn't start without asking first.

That is certainly true.

"Now, I want you to watch the TV monitor."

Mochi, and a gate holding a PC placed in the corner of the table.

Then, Yugo Shiraishi came to the monitor with a laser pointer with a green light to illuminate the key points.

Video of a PC directly connected to the TV by HDMI is streamed.

I don't think it's an explanation in this form, maybe.

In the slightly dimmer, Shinichi Tajima and all the returnees from other worlds, including Shigeki, alternated between the monitor and the materials at hand while watching the potatoes placed on the table.

By the way, the console with the extra tap that can be played by up to four people that was placed earlier has the cord in the corner.

"First of all, it was right after the Knight of Light appeared to the public that we knew what was going on and started moving.Of course, deep snow did not return home, and Hayabusa-kun and Reina-kun did not return home in the same way.However, I thought it would still be best to ask the police to resolve the situation before confirming it.However, after the appearance of the "Knight of Light Speed", I was independently searching around the station and the last point you would have been at with a guard team headed by Gankura.

"Yes, yes! Can I ask you a question?

"... Yumi-kun.Here you go. "

Yumi raised her hand and threw the salt potato into her mouth, asking her own questions.

"Of course, I was trying to keep the police out of my way.Hayabusa-kun and Reina-chan didn't seem to have been given any information around here, did they?What's the reason?

"First of all, I couldn't deny the possibility of our perception differences.The information we had was old, and there was not enough evidence to be sure of others.Secondly, what do you think if the parents who lost their real children suddenly said, "My sons and daughters are somewhere else than here, and it's probably okay.”

"... wow, that's dangerous.I doubt him. "

"That's what it is. Besides, I'm the head of a big company there, whatever I say.It's going to have too much impact. "

"... okay.Please keep talking. "

Yumi lowered her head and pulled in.

Pick the almond chocolate at the end of the table for the waybill.

"Okay, so in time, late Friday night.It was almost Saturday, but five high school students were confirmed in the parking lot at Ueharayama.Depends on how deep the snow is and how it's brought to Tokyo. "

"It's more abduction than abduction.Dad, almost without explanation. "

"... I'm sorry about that.I told Gankura that securing your identity was my top priority. "

"Thank you for being so rude."

Yugo lowered his head next to the gate.

"... well, that's fine.Everyone's safe.... but I can't tell you that, because Satona hasn't lifted the ban on going out yet.We're going to Fukuoka, but before that, we'll go to her house to apologize, right?

"Of course. But I don't want to be paid by the gate."

Um... Why don't you put it back?

The conversation did not proceed, Mao proceeded.

The potatoes on the table were reduced to about 70% of the maximum amount.

An increase in the percentage of wasting time is a proportionate increase in the consumption of potatoes.

"... then, what happened has something to do with someone who was in the Shiraishi family.From my point of view, there was a man named Yosaburo Shiraishi, who was my uncle.I couldn't find a photograph that captured an individual in the "era I wanted to show”, but there was a collective photograph of the Shiraishi family attending the New Year's Eve event at that time.Our white stone house has been a merchant for a long time and fortunately has lived there in abundance.We were gathering our clans and holding a meeting that New Year.This will be the enlargement of the feast. "

When the monitor switches to an old black and white photo and the laser pointer points to the person in question, an enlarged photo will appear.

A table is lined up in a tatami mat room, and food is sitting on it.

It's a piece that cuts out moments like a so-called banquet.

In that picture, where everyone around is smiling or talking to their neighbors with alcohol in their hands, there is a man who is out of the circle and playing with a 10-year-old girl.

A young man wearing layers of clothing who looks thin and cold, and has poor flesh compared to other people.

"This is Yosaburo Shiraishi.If the record is correct, she vomited blood, fainted, and did not return to consciousness in her room one month after taking this photo.Share Year 28. There were no wives or children, and that's what was written in the butler's log book at the time, after five years of maintenance at the Shiraishi main house. "

"Ah, you think you're a beautiful young man with thin lines.Somehow it seems calm, like a gentle oniichan. "

Yumi gave a frank impression, but it does seem so.

There was kindness in playing with children, and there was such an atmosphere that it could lead to deep snow, whether because I was a relative or not.

"... the next picture is that of Yosaburo Shiraishi eight years ago."

Slowly, the monitor's footage turned.

"Eh? Father?

"There's a shadow...You're not brothers, you're not brothers.

Shinichi pointed out that it was a mistake with Hayabusa who raised doubts.

There is nothing in common between that narrow man earlier and the man who is now on the monitor but the facial appearance.

A naked man with his jacket off.

Probably taken in Judo or somewhere, Yosaburo Shiraishi stood shoulder to shoulder with a man in the same outfit to get the award.

The name of the semi-winner on the award will be evidence of that.

"This musculoskeletal man is definitely Yosaburo Shiraishi himself.There are other cuts, but this is the easiest to understand.As you can see, he's a healthy, young, high-spirited Japanese boy.He seemed to have been an excellent man going on both literary and martial arts.It is stated in the diary that he was the proud brother of the current owner at the time.However, the descriptions of Yosaburo after this time will be less frequent from the “public” records of the parties concerned.It's because he's not out there for sick healing. "

"... unfortunately, it's not unusual for a young man to be haunted by a sick demon.The level of medical development will be different now. "

"Doctor is right.A reluctant young man fell ill that he could not cure at the time and was treated.But that's not what this is about, is it?

Yugo nods when asked by Shinichi.

"Poland Wye", "Saddam", “Kuu Beford", “Mouloho". Do these words sound familiar?

"What happened suddenly?Suddenly "

Confused Shinichi.

And all the returnees from other worlds with such introspective manners.

It sounds like "Kuu Beford”, but it sounds like “Kuo Wolf."The rest is subtle. "

"Brave man," says Hayabusa.

"If I were Kuo Wolf, too.Then... I don't know. "

This is followed by the "Virgin" snow.

"I'm one of the Kuo Wolfe."And I've heard of Poland Wye. "

That's Yumi, the "warrior."

"I'm sorry, I'm also a“ kuo wolf ”choice.You don't know anything else. "

The "Demon King" Doctor continues.

"Ah, I'm“ Kuo Wolf "," Mouloho "and“ Saddam ”.Maybe it's because the sound is close. "

Finally, it is "ordinary people".

It means that each of them reacted to Yugo's unknown words “Polan Wye", "Saddam", “Kuu Beford" and “Mouloho”.

Most responded to “Kuo Wolf”, at least similar to “Kuu Beford”.

"What do you mean? I don't understand the meaning."

"I'll explain now.Next Image "

Yugo gave instructions to Shinichi, who didn't know who he was.

It was displayed as a book with a title written in ink on a vermilion cover.

The title is:

"'Fantasy Psalms'...I wonder if I should call it a whitty title.

"The author is Yosaburo Shiraishi.There is little sales in the first edition only.He was sick and took the trouble to bring it to the publisher to print about 300 copies, but most of them were returned books.In the modern category, it would be classified as "poetry collection" and "fantasy."

"What does that unpopular work have to do with?

Inhale deeply and Yugo speaks to the mao who asks.

"It is the same book that such amateurs publish at their own expense, but of course it is more proofread and refined than put out to the public.These are the things that were omitted in the process. "

Probably watercolour.

On top of that, something is written in thin ink like a line.

"I have difficulty reading too much.I'll try to find out what's written here. "

The monitor video was switched to display characters that could be understood by modern people.

"I write it all the way to the distance.Beyond the fantasy, even deeper.Tokyo “Kuu Beford", without feeling the smell of home like the city.It's just to make you more aware of your hometown.... "

"Kuu Beford." The name of a city that exists only in the dreams of the sick.But the White Stone family knows that this is true.Yosaburo Shiraishi. He came back after three years in hiding.After the divine concealment, he survived only five years of meditation.Upon return, the left arm lost its tip from the elbow, and the right leg suffered severe burns and impairments.It is said that the stomach no longer accepts oil and never eats a bowl of hot stuff that it liked again.But even if he loses his healthy body, there's still something left. "

I see, you're connected.

Untie Shinichi's legs and correct his habitation.

Others also hurriedly swallowed the potatoes that were stuck in their hands, or corrected their posture by paying the salt that was stuck in their hands.

"At that time, it was described that about six months after Yosaburo was discovered by Kamikaze and entered medical treatment, the main house of the Shiraishi family was hit by a fire.The newspaper article at that time also had that, so there was no doubt about it.Apparently it was set on fire, but the whole family, including Yosaburo's brother, was left behind in the main house.Unlike now, fire extinguishing equipment such as sprinklers is hardly adequate, and it seems to have been quite a sized mansion.It seems that the emergency exit was set on fire with care.Well, beyond being a businessman, you might buy grudges.The arsonist caught later was a man on the verge of bankruptcy by investing in a white stone rival company. "

"You mean resentment?

"Well, I don't know.Only the parties at that time know what their management decisions were like at that time.Maybe the people at the White Stone Company did something against kindness.... well, that's not the point. "

Yugo really coughed up one thing.

"... Yosaburo Shiraishi was sleeping away from the main house.Fortunately, far from being set on fire, he was not caught in the fire, and he was safely taken out by the butlers.So I learned that my brother's family was still left behind in a burning house. "

Phew, you exhale loudly.

"So Yosaburo, a skinny ship, ran to his main house.Soon after I stopped, I walked in through the front door.The momentum to extinguish the fire was incredibly strong, and the water was released to the burning stone.Yosaburo appeared in front of people who were stunned around because they couldn't help it.Four members of my family, my lord and his wife, a 12-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl with one hand. "

"Ugh. That's impossible.It's not the level of fire stupidity. "

Yumi expresses her opinion.

That's true.

The reality is, it's impossible for a skinny man to carry a weight of 200 kilometers.

"... and the rescued family was burned.My father, mother, and eldest son were fortunate enough to smoke lightly and suffered a light burn, but my eldest daughter was not. A 9-year-old girl suffered a severe sore burn on her face.Here's the medical certificate issued at that time. "

What was shown was a copy of a medical certificate with the name of the affiliated hospital of the National University, which is also known to Mao.

I don't know how to read the medical certificate, and the way it was written at the time and now has changed, but the person's face is written in a handwritten illustration, and the right half of it is drawn with an oblique line.

That's probably where the burns are.

"At the time, medical standards would definitely have left traces. It was a level burn."

"... ah! Um, a picture of the New Year's gathering just now!

Well noticed, Hayabusa-kun.Gankura, please put the image back in the picture earlier. "

"Okay."

The said Gankura showed a picture of the New Year.

"This is the girl with the burn."

A 10-year-old girl playing with Yosaburo Shiraishi.

The girl, marked with a laser pointer, looks straight at her from the camera.

The smelly and happy face has a smooth complexion despite the old photos.

There were no scars like burns.

"... you look beautiful."

"I must have seen deep snow a few times.It will be a childhood photo of Mutsuko-san from Tsukahara's house. "

"I remember being greeted at my mother's funeral.I was old and had deep wrinkles, but it seemed like my face was really natural, and I didn't feel like I was hiding something with a foundation. "

Pull out the person's memory to explain the supplementary explanation to everyone.

"... is it Yosaburo who cured you?

"The description is vague.I guess I felt sorry for Mutsuko and his mother because the main house was half-baked and she came back to her makeshift home to cry.A private journal that wasn't on the front page of the time said, "A miracle happened.”From that night on, Yosaburo became unemployed for a month. "

"Think" heel "or something close to it.Yosaburo's fainting is not a tool, but a potential personal skill...Just because you fainted doesn't mean you have that much to pay for your skills.It's supposed to weaken like us by transcending the world, but it's too big for a heel.Besides, escaping the fire carrying four people should be physically superior to ordinary people...But it's also a coma because I was forced to use skills that I couldn't use anymore..... "

The doctor murmured.

Dr. Yanagi, the "Demon King", has lost his head in terms of his knowledge of these magical systems.

Yugo keeps talking to him when his thoughts sink.

"Fortunately Yosaburo woke up, but the Lord scolded him with deep gratitude.It doesn't make sense if you're dead, even though everyone was saved.Yosaburo is also a family member, and he has a duty to protect it.On the contrary, Yosaburo said that it was more important to colour the life of a future daughter than to live a little longer. "

"It's like a self-sacrificing catamaran.Somehow, it's like Hayabusa-kun's idea. "

"No, no, what about me?I don't know if it's time, but I think you'll hesitate, even if you don't.

Hmm. Then you think it's like Mr. Deep Snow's family?Homework?

The bitter snow answers.

"For all things, for all people.It's not family training, but it should have been company training.Remember that?

"Well, my company's training doesn't matter at this time.What matters is the fact that there was actually a man with something beyond the medical standards of the day. "

Sort of. I just don't know how long ago it was, but it was a long time ago.Isn't there something you can prove as a video?

"... I'll explain the chase.Now, I want to see the next video and hear everyone's thoughts.... Gankura, please "

"Yes"

A black-and-white photograph showing a splash.

There is only one article there.

"... uhh.It's perfect. "

"Moro, that's right.Mao, do you remember this picture being taken?

"... no.This is not “mine."

"I guess. If so, you don't have to bother black-and-white."

Each person expresses their feelings by looking at the monochrome that appears on the monitor.

"Unfortunately, the material has already been disposed of, but only this negative is stored in microfilm.The photographs have not been taken recently.And I guarantee the owner won't be the Knight of Light Speed. "

"... I'm pretty sure, but who owns this?

Shinichi asks the owner of the monitor item on behalf of everyone.

"This heavily damaged helmet belongs to Yosaburo Shiraishi.It was one of the items that went missing for three years and was worn when it was discovered. "

Everyone holds back on serious expressions and weighted words.

The monitor has a black and white photo of a Western-style helmet.

As a result, the monitor image switches.

Four cuts from the front, right, left, and right back.

The helmet, with a large rift near the right forehead, was very similar to the design of the "Knight of Light" helmet recently seen here.
