Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

Chapter 149: Unexpected Hostiles

"- That's why. I don't think we'd be sure of a suspect if we were out of bounds.

I know who's got the keys, and I know which attributes you might have used...

"I'm listening. I'm listening. He said he was listening."

Of course I didn't ask, but I'll answer that.

"Mmm. I don't know..."

"Really."

"I hope so. So, so..."

Maki quickly got in a good mood and resumed the conversation lightly.

The content sounds silly, but it's like a gamer who talks about the game's dissatisfaction, and I can tell from watching that he actually enjoys it a lot.

"Now you have a problem with what you do with the ring you stole."

"It's such a small ring, why don't you put it in your pocket or something"

"You idiot! You'll find them as soon as they physically examine you like that!

Why should I be offended?

I answered the throw, biting the irrationality of the world.

"Well, it looks fantastic, putting it in a magic pocket or something"

"No, seriously! The people in this mansion don't have adventurer bags, cooler boxes or anything!

Damn it, I don't have enough research!

"I don't care what you say..."

Blah, blah, blah, blah. I know the answer, so I don't even need to do research right now, but that kind of common sense doesn't seem to work for the excited Maki.

How could I be in this situation in the first place when Mayuki abducted me after my meal?

No, even when I said I was abducted, I simply pulled my arm and was brought to the couch, but still my right arm is held disappointingly in Mayuki's chest, and I can't escape.

"I guess there's a way out somewhere to overlook it.

But I don't know what that is unless there's actually a case... "

"Hey. I don't care, but it's time for you to let go of my arm, will you?

I was going to make a natural request, but Maki looked obviously upset and held my arm even harder.

"Why? You and Ringo have been holding hands for a long time!

"Mi, were you watching?

"If I slept in that place, I'd be determined to see it!

Besides, Ena and I walked in hands-on, and I can't believe we just got to Suthern... "

"No, the last one is a misunderstanding!

No matter what other slander is accepted, only that misunderstanding can be seen.

That's just a fact I did to prevent Tidal Wave, and I would never want to admit that I'm close to Southern, etc.

"... then I knew the others weren't misunderstandings"

Seen with a serious eye.

It also further increases the power to restrain your arms.

"Well, that's not what I meant."

I mumbled a little, but still didn't spread any upset in my mind, and I was even calm.

Just quietly discussing this case and based on the latest information I got from Maki, I'm sober enough to consider rewriting the brain database as "Maki > Ringo".

Maki kept his mouth shut for a while and looked at me, but eventually he gave up or loosened the restraint on his arm a little.

I narrow my eyes to nostalgia.

"... like this reminds me of the treasure hunt I used to do, right?

Look, the one where Soma writes a map of treasure and I look for treasure. "

"Oh, that one."

Speaking of which, I don't even remember playing with that.

"By then, Soma was unusually good at deceiving people.

Next to the game I'm playing, I'm not, so I worked so hard to decipher the map of the treasure.

Probably because of that. I like mystery and stuff. "

"... yes, was it"

I couldn't tell Mayuki, who talks about it in a nostalgic way, that it was actually a game that Mayuki had devised to make time for me not to be disturbed by the game.

And I've never fooled anybody before.

"When I think about it, I kind of wonder if we've changed since then.

Soma replied appropriately, and I got angry, and it was just like it was then. "

"No, I think Maki has grown"

I assure you,

"Yeah, I guess..."

Maki glanced at her surprise.

While I feel Mayuki's growth on my skin, I get up quickly before she asks me where I think she has grown.

"Wow. Soma?

Astonishing Maki aside, I decided to call the maid of honor.

For a little while, you can serve Maki.

"Lilm! I'd like to consider the case with Maki for a moment.

I'm sorry, but can you lend me a room?

"Oh, is that my room? But..."

Push another on the reluctant waste maid.

"Besides, I'd like to talk to Lil 'lm, too.

... can't you?

The moment I saw the wasting maid's expression when I heard my words, I knew the answer before I heard it.

"Wow, if it's me, I'd love to!!

"Shh, that's a great room."

"Really? Actually, I'm very elaborate on the interior of the room.

eheheheheheheheheheh "

Whatever the mistake of a waste maid, the waste maid's room was terrible enough to make her dong pull Maki the moment she entered.

"If you want to give it a title, it feels like a battlefield trail."

First of all, it would be because the waste maid falls or drops things on a daily basis.

Dents and distortions are noticeable throughout the room.

Instead, so much so that it would be hard to do it for you to beco the walls.

Secondly, it's not organized.

It is salvation that the food kind is not rolling, but in a typically unclean woman's room, various objects are arranged clutterfully.

I can see the bookshelves and closets, the pictures the kids seem to have written, etc., but why decorate the room with broken pots, piss lads without necks, tall branches cut bass and all that stuff.

I don't understand that nerve.

And the tubing of instantaneous adhesive that rolls many is obviously the only characteristic that would be here to make it surreal.

There's even something inside that still has contents in it, and contents that spill out and solidify, telling the story of the waste maid's sloppiness.

Yet the hobby of the room is totally girly, so I could say that the mismatch around it creates quite a bit of chaos.

"Oh, please sit down. I'll make you some tea now."

I was told, I sat on a chair with a half-baked back, on a table with a big square indentation (probably a mark that dropped something too) placed in the middle of the room.

Maki also sat in a chair with one railing removed next to the chair I sat in.

"Wait, please. I just make tea."

In a messy room, only there is a wasted maid who handily manipulates a solid set of tea to make a serious face.

And the words of the Waste Maid were indeed true.

The only good waste maid is to "brew" the tea, in the sense that it spilled as normal while carrying the tea to us.

Then the waste maid always gave me a spare tea set that I had ten pairs ready, and I cut the fire first when we finally got to the tea.

"So, first of all, I want you to talk about the people in this house, okay?

After all, do those four guys all work hard to be the next principals or something?

"Yeah, yeah..."

The wasting maid seemed lost for a while but started talking like she had decided to.

"Actually, I know exactly who's practicing in the junction room.

Um, this room is directly beneath the room with the boundaries, so the footsteps sound... "

"Really!? That's awesome info!?

Maki ate the words of an unexpected waste maid.

Yeah, well, I knew all along, and that's why I set up this place.

"Yes. That, ladies and gentlemen, seems to pretty much go into the room of the junction.

Especially Master Asus, who comes in at night, often interferes with my sleep.

Oh, but in that case, I'd be surprised if I poked you in the ceiling with this high-branched bass... Ugh heh heh "

It's a wasted maid who rarely gets an evil laugh as she types to poke at the ceiling, but Maki didn't flinch at all when she went into detective mode.

"Tell me! Who, at what time!

Maki takes out his notes and enters the listening position.

You were driven by that enthusiasm, and the wasted maid returned from an evil world.

"Well, I'm just listening in my footsteps, so I'm not sure."

Yeah, I preface it, and I start talking to you remembering.

"First, Master Fi often comes around five to nine in the evening, before and after dinner.

I used to spend a lot of time every day, but I haven't been here much lately. "

"I see, I see"

"I wonder if Mizzou often goes from about three to five in the afternoon, just before that.

Speaking of which, I'm not as good as Fi, but Mizzou hasn't been here much lately either... "

"Yeah, yeah."

"Master Asus often comes in the middle of the night, between eleven o'clock and about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Besides, I've been coming almost every day lately and it's loud "

"Ho ho"

"Hu... Master Hu hardly ever comes alone.

Most of the time I would rendezvous with Master Asus when he was doing it, or like he was only brought here by Master Mizzou once...

Anyway, Master Fu is an oasis of my heart!

"... alone, he said," will not come, "

Maki is impressed and takes notes, but for me it's already known information.

Ask while flushing properly.

On the other hand, Mamiki, convinced or nodded looking at the note again, begins a further penetrating question.

"Next, then, who and who do you expect to get along?

"Yes. Master Fi and Master Fu seem surprisingly compatible.

Mizzou feels like Asu, but Mizzou and Fi, Asu and Fu don't seem to feel comfortable. "

"So, what about Mr. Fi and Mr. Ass, Mr. Mizzou and Mr. Fu?

"There's... hmm. Do you feel like we're not getting along or bad?"

"... well. Then I wonder if complicity is difficult."

To Maki's twinkle, what do you mean? Maki showed a note to the wasted maid who had eaten it.

Doubt

One, how do we get into the room of the kingdom?

2 How to Untie the Boundaries

Three, how to bring the line back.

4 How to Possess the Ring You Taken

Necessary items

1 Key to the room of the junction (no spare key)

2 Of fire, water, earth and wind, the juxtaposition magic of two attributes

The juxtaposition magic of objects and opposite attributes used for 32

Four safe stash?

Order of watch

Elm - Lilm - Missou - AS - Fi - Fuu

"You know what? If we're just going to unbind it, it's easy.

In this order of watch, for example, Mr. Mizzou and Mr. Ass will open the door when they take turns, so if they work together, they can use water and earth attributes, the juxtaposition magic of the two attributes.

You can break the line. "

"One, I mean, the killers are Mizzou and Ass!?

Maki smiles bitterly and shakes her head at the wasting maid who points early.

"But there's the magic of fire and wind attributes to fix a junction using water and earth attributes.

So when you do, you end up needing the magic of four attributes "

"Well, if you leave without fixing it..."

"If you do, the next replacement will find you, and soon you'll know who the killer is."

"Oh......"

Maki's words make me look difficult when the maid of honor doesn't look good.

"So to manage this juncture, we need a combination of opposite attributes, a combination of fire and water, land and wind.

I mean, Mr. Fi and Mr. Missou. Or that there's nothing we can do without Mr. Ass and Mr. Fu cooperating.

Yet in this order of watch, they don't have a chance to open the door together. "

"Ha, ha. I was wondering if you had decided on the order of that watch and coming, but Master Shizun is also surprised..."

With all due respect and disrespect, the waste maid nods as well.

"I'm sure there's a good way out of this.

I also thought someone could use two attributes...

If that's the case, you should normally get the ring without doing this, hmm. "

Maki groaned once, then got up with Gabba and stuffed him to waste.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lillum used magic too, didn't he?

You can use the magic of kingdom... "

"Mmm, it's muli! I can only use a little wind magic, but not junction magic."

"Really?"

"It's true! Swear on the adhesive!!

I didn't know how much the vow to the adhesive was worth, but Mayuki seemed convinced.

I lost momentum and sat down.

"... because junctional magic can only be used by people in this house.

I, when I was in the slums of the king's capital, bumped into Master Shizun and had him pick it up there.

That kind of magic can't be used. "

"Mr. Lillum......"

The waste maid waved in advance at Shizuki's voice.

"Oh, don't look like that!

I am truly happy to have you all picked up by the sissy and done well.

Everyone I know in Slam still has a hard life...

Oh, well, not that, but that I was sooo lucky!

But then again, the waste maid darkened her expression.

"I am amazing, lucky, and I love all the people in this house...

But I think it's just a little bit that I wish that ring was gone.

Because there's such a ring, we all have a fight...

Even though Fi, Missou, Asu and, of course, Fu are all good people... "

"Oh no..."

Maki was stuck in words.

Maybe everything will work out better if I don't solve this case.

Maybe that's what I thought.

That's why I slapped him gently on the shoulder.

"Let's get it all worked out."

"Soma?

I will say it forcefully to Maki, who looked back carefully.

"It's not just the case that detectives solve.

You just have to find the ring and still solve all the problems that everyone in this house has. "

"Oh, man. Yeah! Right! That's right!

I squeeze my kobushi for a long time, and Maki stands up.

"Mr. Lillum! Let me know more about this house!!

Because I will definitely lead this case to a happy ending!

"Yes! Mr. Maki!!

Maki and the waste maid hold hands together.

A very smiling sight.

But......

"But it'll be 7: 00 p.m. in five minutes, okay?

When I said it, waste maids jumped.

"Oh, wow! Time for a change!

If I'm late, Mr. Elm will make me look amazing again!

"Yes, I'm fine. We still have five minutes!

Calm down, I have to go to Mr. Sizzle's first and get the keys. "

"Yes!

The waste maid pops out of the room after nodding against Maki's words.

"Wow, we have to go soon too...... why are you so relaxed?

I waved and replied that I was okay with Mahiko in a hurry.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

"Soma, no rattling!!

That's how I get up too, dropping off Maki, who ran away furiously.

"Well. I guess it's time for me to move."

I took a piece of jewelry out of the Adventurer's bag to make sure no one was around me again.

"Oh, that? Mr. Soma?"

In front of the room of the junction.

The wasting maid who saw me snapped his neck and the elm behind it silently thanked him.

There was a key in the waste maid's hand, and that was exactly what I was about to plug into the door of the room of the junction right now.

"Good. Sounds like you're not in yet."

They spent too much time in the room on boulders.

I'm glad I made it.

"Mr. Soma, why are you here?

Didn't you go back to everyone?

I smiled and shook my head beside the maid.

"Hey, I was wondering what's going on in this room.

We're going to check the inside of the room, right?

Can I come in, too?

My words brightened the face of the waste maid.

"Of course! Let's find out together!

Accepted with pleasure, the three of us, me and the waste maid, and Mr. Elm, opened the room.

"There's a connection, and nothing, it doesn't seem unusual..."

I glance at the back of the door from outside the room and the waste maid leaks to relax like that.

But I'm not too happy to have that done.

"No, if you look inside, there might be something unusual.

Let's go in and find out. "

"Yes!

That's what I said and tried to step out. My hand,

- One moment, please.

Mr. Elm, the butler, grabbed it.

My heart pounds.

"Hey, what's up?

"Excuse me. Excuse me, but can you show me those hands, open them?

"Duh, why not?

"… Reason, do you need?

Deacon looks at this one with a slightly open eye.

Awesome pressure.

"Yes, that's fine. Yes."

I open my left hand gently.

In that hand, of course, there's nothing.

"And the other hand."

Mr. Elm urged me to open my right hand slowly.

In that hand...... nothing is gripped.

"... excuse me. I'm worried."

"Ah, haha. It's okay. It's okay.

You need to be careful. "

I leaked a dry laugh and walked into the room.

He has a decent face and a waste maid who went inside first tilts his neck.

I smiled back not to worry, but my heart was shaking in a storm of upset.

(Come on, you can see that!

It wasn't an event like this, a game.

I didn't know the harm the game had become a reality would come out of this.

I tell myself I have to keep my mind on it once again.

I'm not going to be doing anything that bad, but if I were alarmed, the game could have been over as of just now.

Well, let's take a look around.

"Yes! I will serve you!

I go around the room saying words that, depending on what I hear, don't sound like dialogue on a date.

First, I went to the corner of the room to see the engraved "unknown" letters.

If we can't confirm this, we won't talk.

Seeing as there are still firmly "unknown" characters, I breathe ho for now.

But I couldn't behave any worse.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, Mr. Elm's gaze goes around.

I feel like I'm suspected of acting unusual and I can't do anything.

Once I turned behind the pillar subtly, Mr. Elm was also subtly moving the place and adjusting so that he could no longer see me.

(Totally, it's locked on...!!

In the end, I left the room without producing any useful results other than confirming the letter "not yet".

And on the way back to the living room, Mr. Elm spoke to us in a dandy voice.

"Dear Soma. Call me when you need something to do and leave the room.

We will serve you in the washroom so that nothing is missing. "

"Ah, haha. Thank you, thank you."

On the face of it, the offer sounds friendly.

But it was a factual, thorough surveillance declaration.

(Not good, this is...)

Even I have something I'd like to sneak up on.

Yet when it comes to being watched by a butler all the time...

Unexpectedly, when I spotted Mr. Elm, Mr. Elm returned a calm, but tremendous grin.

- This is how the battle with the competent deacon, which has nothing to do directly with the case, but is more real to me, began.
