Late at night.

Normally it was supposed to be completely quiet, but unusual things happened suddenly.

"Kouske-san, Kouske-san, wake up!"

"Huh? Huh...? Peach?"

The examiner was completely dumb and managed to confirm the peach in the still dark room.

And I made sure that the surrounding situation was still fully intact, and I immediately realized something had happened.

Kaiseki shook his head to the left and right to shake off the fact that he was sleeping.

"What's wrong? Something wrong?

"I'm sorry about this time, but there was a sudden change at the fortuneteller..."

"Yeah, okay. What's going on here?

"Apparently, it was a water mirror, a theft."

When I heard Peach say that, I suddenly blank my head.

"... Hi?

"It's a theft. Looks like someone's watching the burglars sneak in and steal it."

Since instructions were given that it was strictly forbidden to sell it, those watching the fortunetellers did not sell it and were only watching it.

Of course, we know exactly where the person who stole it took it.

After listening to the peach and understanding the situation, Kaiseki asked further questions.

"Does that fortuneteller realize that?

"No, not yet. He said it was a complete murder."

Even though they were in a different room, they didn't aim when they were away, they waited for them to go to bed and then went into theft next to them.

There is no doubt that he possesses considerable strength.

"That's another nasty thing."

Turning out that it was quite a big thing that was moving behind, Kaiseki held his head in the dark.

I want to say why I didn't leave it in the same place as the room where I was sleeping, but it is more likely that the same thing happened in the first place.

Until then, the high skill of the stolen person was the word of the watcher.

I heard that the water mirror was stolen, and I was first concerned about the study aid.

"So, what about the runaway?

"No, that's not really what happened ~"

Peach also knew what he was worried about, so he immediately confirmed it with the one who came to the report, but he received an answer that no noticeable change had occurred.

The assistant who heard the reply sighed with relief, but twisted his neck at the same time.

"Hmm. Isn't that funny? In such a situation, I thought it would not be strange if something happened, regardless of whether it ran wild or not?

Kaiseki thought that the water mirror had chosen to be used as a tool because she liked the female fortuneteller.

However, if nothing had been done despite the stolen situation, it could have been unexpected.

I wondered what that meant, but I shook my neck to the left and right.

Now I have to think about what to do with the water mirror rather than that.

But the answer came out quickly.

"In the meantime, I want you to know where the mirror is, as always. I was more likely to go to a place that wasn't decent just because of the situation..."

Stealing people's belongings in the first place means there is no guarantee that they will be treated properly.

Until now, it would have been nice to keep an eye on a woman, but from now on, it would be nice to say that you put her in a state where you have no idea what the water mirror will be like.

It is said that monitoring has become more difficult than ever.

A small peach smiled at the examiner who looked a little anxious.

"That's all right, because we're here for that."

Don't worry, I smiled at the peach.

"Yes, we can still see what's going on. Just make sure you don't lose it."

"Yes, I understand. That's what I'm going to tell you."

When the examiner gave instructions, Peach nodded back.

In the meantime, the peach, who had been instructed to do so, returned to the village.

The instruction has not changed from before, but it definitely requires more attention.

It is necessary to provide some detail, including such matters.

The assistant, who had dropped off the peach leaving management, returned to his room to go back to sleep again.

Since it was late at night that Peach reported, it was the next morning that the information was passed on to the other members.

Instead of a peach back home, Kaiseki reported it to everyone.

And the same expression that heard the report turned reluctant at once.

"Is that another unexpected story... no, is it possible?

"Stealing grandly next to the owner sleeping. Speaking of bold, aren't you too defenseless?

"Normally, people with that kind of skill don't think about stealing from their homes. It doesn't matter if you live in a mansion."

Floria, Shreyne and Sylvia gave their thoughts individually.

Incidentally, Colette is in the middle of child-rearing in the countryside and has barely come to management lately.

Floria, who gave a brief impression, turned her attention to the study aid.

"So, what do we do now?

"No, that's it. When I thought about it a little, I felt as good as ever."

Huh?

It is normal to think that it is dangerous to be with a thief, but the assistant changed his mind a little after receiving the report from Peach.

"Whether a fortuneteller has it in the first place, a thief has it, or it's in the hands of a collector, I wonder if the situation won't change much if I put it in a water mirror."

In the words of the examiner, Floria and the others looked at each other.

In the first place, a person's position does not matter to the mirror, which is a divine instrument.

The point is, if you don't treat yourself in a mess, there's no particular problem.

Even though it was in the hands of the thief, he didn't steal it to break the mirror on the spot, but he stole it from the fortuneteller because he expected it to sell high.

Of course, I will take care of it until it is sold.

In that sense, it doesn't matter who has the artifact.

Whether it is happier to be in the hands of a fortuneteller or to be in the hands of a collector, it is only on the side of people.

"I see, if you say so."

"Hmm. You can't think of people as good or evil."

Apparently, it's all an exam aid (?) Shreyne and Floria nodded as if they were satisfied with the explanation.

"Does that mean you're still watching?

"Yeah, unless you think it's so messy."

In response to Sylvia's question, she nodded and answered.

Floria added to supplement the exam.

"Besides, even a fortuneteller would have filed a damage report. Wouldn't that move around the guards?

"I guess. I'll leave it to a proper organization. There's no place for us."

Sylvia looked anxious at the auxiliary examiner who had spoken plainly.

"That's fine, but what are the conditions under which the artifact runs wild?

"Hmm. Not all artifacts are like that, but perhaps they have nothing to do with how they are treated?

What Kaiseki would like to say is that the water mirror is used to treat it like a shield or to play around with various things called investigation.

"In that sense, it might be more dangerous to be in a temple."

"That's... undeniable."

Sylvia cannot deny that the temple has had such accidents several times in the past.

And, to be sure, the runaway of the artifacts that Sylvia knows is often put in a situation like Kaiseki just said.

Of course, there are times when swords and the like can't handle their power during the battle and cause a runaway.

Anyway, there was no one who disagreed with the conclusion that the examiner had made the appearance.

After all, even if we try to prevent the runaway of the artifact beforehand, we can't help but know under what circumstances it will happen.

Rather, the fact that Kaiseki, the god of the real world, seems to be more likely to run wild if he is poorly involved is not different from before.
