A downfall at the Beauxite mine in Trom, Empire of Shouro.

It was likely an man-made accident by someone, or sabotage, and intelligence agents of the Shauro Empire were moving into the investigation.

Among them was the old man's subordinate, Leggles 45 in "Row 5 (Quinta)," commonly known as "Landgeek".

"Landgeek" is an investigator... the lower end of the actual rake... middle-class intelligence officer, with no likelihood, no impossibility, and other grades.

There are a total of ten intelligence agents mobilized.

They had a meeting at provisional headquarters.

This temporary headquarters was used by renting an empty house outside the town of Trom.

The face is "Trom Mine Downfall Accident Preparedness Headquarters".

Properly, there are some members to review the maintenance management of the pits, so there is no problem at all externally.

"Well, I've completed one investigation, but would you like me to report back to you, from Nos. 1 and 2?"

The leader of the intelligence opened his mouth. This time it is conveniently called number zero. The remaining members are naturally referred to as Nos. 1 to 9. Regulus 45 is number 9.

We're basically acting in pairs. No. 1 opened his mouth this time.

"Yes. Me and No. 2 investigated Pit Nos. 1, 2 and 3, which were safe. As a result, we found a few scratches similar to the reinforcements in the pit that caused the collapse."

"Um, still?"

Looks like the collapsed Pit Nos. 4 and 5 weren't the only targets.

"The position of the wound was about 40 cm from the ground, almost the same as what we saw in the collapsed pit"

"I guess that means I put it somewhere hard to see"

Scratches at eye height are quickly discovered, but are difficult to detect in low positions.

There was nothing else in particular, so it was number three and four's turn next.

"We investigated the collapsed Pit 4. As a result, I discovered this.... Hey."

Following the words of No. 3, No. 4 placed a small bottle on the table.

"What's this?

"It's animal hair. We found it in the back of Pit 4."

Behind the pit, where animals and other animals are not supposed to be inhabited, is hooked, he said.

"Of course, it's not human hair. I did a little research, but it's close to the Rock Wolf stuff"

The rock wolf (Rockwolf) becomes a carnivore, not a demon. He's about a meter long, so it's possible to scratch him about 40 centimeters tall. It is more natural to think so than so.

However, the rock wolf (Rockwolf) should live in the northern forest belt and not have the habit of entering the back of the cave.

"No traces were found of manure, debris of prey, etc."

That concludes reports Nos. 3 and 4.

"So it's our turn."

Reports Nos. 5 and 6 begin. Looks like number six to report this time.

"The two of us were investigating Pit 5. It's also a crashed pit here, but now it's redeveloped and doesn't seem dangerous. And I found it as well..."

Number five put the little bottle on the table.

"It was animal hair"

There was also an animal hair here that seemed to be a rock wolf (Rockwolf).

And even more.

"It's a coincidence, but I also found footprints"

No. 5 putting the sketch on the table.

"It's huge."

It belonged to a rock wolf (Rockwolf) in the positive (maze).

"But do you say that life stinks, like shit and leftovers... there are no traces of that"

and tightened.

And number seven, eight, nine's turn. They were acting together in three.

"We've done a perimeter survey."

Seven spoke on behalf of him.

"Over time, it was about to disappear, but I found some footprints of the Rock Wolf."

It was on damp mud, he said.

"I just think the footprint is multiple heads, but when I look at the footprint, I only have one head. I don't know what to think about this, but..."

The possibility that one head came and went and put it on again and again;

"... could have had exactly the same footprint"

It expressed its opinion that

"Exactly the same footprint? Clearly."

No. 0 said irritably.

"... the rock wolf of creation (Rockwolf)"

To this word, half smiled bitterly, and the other half smiled (only) at his face.

"Is there someone who can do that...?

Here, a few swallowed words.

Yes, because I thought of 'the one who can do that'.

"No, not" Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz "or" Deus Ex Machina "lord."

No. 9, or Leggles45, affirmed.

"Too bad."

"... how do you know that? No, I'm not questioning the Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz or Deus Ex Machina, I'm asking purely as a question."

"It's easy. Because there's no way that you two can only have naive skills that can be judged to be made just by looking in the footprints."

"I see."

With that explanation, together, I seem convinced for now.

"And"

Regulus 45 continues.

"You two have no motive."

It's not going to get you any good if you take down the mine.

"Besides, both of you were doing rescue work at the time of the accident."

"Sure.... No, I don't doubt it, but I was interested in what No. 9 claims it wasn't you two."

That's what No. 0 said and got to the bottom of it.

"Well, we've come to know that it seems like the rock wolf (Rockwolf) of the creation has created the cause of the fall, but it's just a clue to the real killer, and there's still a long way to go. Everybody, take it easy."

"Okay."

The state of that meeting had been brought to you by the old man through the eyes and ears of Regulus 45.

'I see, is it the rock wolf of creation (Rockwolf)? Think from the trail, you must be naive. Nevertheless, there seems to be no doubt that it is beyond the current level of technology. Who the hell...'

Old man, you seem to be genuinely concerned about the identity of the mastermind.

'If you look around, there may be nothing left...'

He was an old man who used the Peek-and-See Telescope (Peeper) to begin a detailed investigation of the area.

Around the same time, at the Institute in Penglai.

"Hmm, this asphalt emulsion is best used like this!

Saki, who had continued his research, had drawn a uniform conclusion.

Production and hanging of masks using 'non-woven fabrics', but she is happy to do research and both produce satisfactory results.

"Kufu, I can't wait for Jin to come home."

"Good day, Sister Saki"

This time Elsa, who stayed in Penglai, labored.

"Elsa helped me, too, and hey. Thanks for coming."

"Mmm, Brother Jin will be back tomorrow, I think"

The jet lag with the Empire of Shouro is huge, so I can't help it.

It was a research rush, but little by little the results seemed to be bearing fruit.
