- The next day, me and Brother David were in the browsing room on the fifth floor of the library labyrinth.

Since there has been no progress on the cleaver (ripper) case, it seems that your brother was willing to move forward a little with his original job as a clerk.

... is pre-built, and the truth is,

- So you two are investigating a serial murder?

Needless to say, I have decided to come and see Mr. Luce.

It's the same wild flax trio of knitting and big round glasses, but the original is neat, and most importantly, the atmosphere is all over the place. Brother David is not the only one who talks to Mr. Luce and gets healed.

The current line was also a tone that naturally conveyed my interest and admiration in this one.

I can't divulge the truth about the investigation, so my brother and I are reassembling a lot of stories to tell Mr. Luce.

He may have a cling to not talking in the first place, but Mr. Luce is quite a good listener, so it seems helpful that even as a brother, his thoughts are sorted out.

... of course, there is definitely a lower heart as well.

"I mean, does that nobleman seem to know something better?"

I was explaining to Mr. Rouche that there was a certain nobility about Prince Ilfreed.

"But what bothers me most is how the Ripper (Ripper) was able to make a case in one night in both the old and the new towns that he shouldn't be able to come and go"

"Yeah, that's right."

My brother snorted at me.

By the way, while in the library, Brother David wears glasses, too. I didn't call you during the investigation, but your observation eyes were much sharper than mine. That doesn't seem like a simple eyesight problem. Most importantly, my brother just said that he has bad eyes for this world, and I think he has about 0.6 eyesight in his previous life.

"What that nobleman knows better may not necessarily have anything to do with the case. Even if you knew the victim, that doesn't make the lake crossable."

Indeed it is. The prince's upset was unexpected, which left him impressed, but it's also possible that it's just a minor issue in the whole case. There must be more reason than not speaking on that occasion, and it would be harder to pursue them unless they had such a big name than the other person being a prince.

"Indeed, Mr. Rouche is right. However, he is a member of the... Dragon Knights. Even if his secret had nothing to do with the case, it was also true that he was one of the key players in the case."

"Dragon Knights......? What is it?

Mr. Luce's public ignorance burst, and me and Brother David peeled off their eyes.

I can't believe I live in this king's capital and don't know the Dragon Knights...

My brother recollects and explains.

"Literally, a dragon rider - a knighthood that drives the demons of the Wyburn breed that have been mated and bred for generations. I wonder if that establishment was only in the days of Ilgand III. That was four generations ago."

"Really?... I'm embarrassed I don't know the world"

When Mr. Rouche says so, he tilts his little neck cutely with his index finger of one hand against his cheek.

"I see, the more you ride Mr. Dragon Rider, the more you mean to be able to travel back and forth between the two cities. So he says nobles associated with the Dragon Knights are more important."

"So far, the most common sense way to get to and from both cities is to ride dragons."

"What about magic?

"... to the best of my knowledge, there is no magic that can float your body while you can travel back and forth through the lake. Ed, what do you say?

"I'd come up with some, but you need a lot of MP."

"Do you need an Ed-like MP on top of being hard to come up with first? There's no way there's such a monster. You won't even be able to do it in the court magician class."

Sorry about the monster.

Anyway, the Dragon Knights with Dragon Riders can travel back and forth between old and new cities.

And Prince Ilfreed is the leader of the Dragon Knights.

"Then why don't we examine each and every one of the Dragon Knights? No, I'm sure Mr. David would have thought of that."

Mr. Luce is right, it seems like we should look into it on that line more than the suspect can possibly only be a dragon knight.

We talked about the difficulty of bringing a dragon rider out of the stables, but we can also think of that as just an ostensible story. It's not strange that there's a way to bring up a dragon rider to be an inside person. That's the way out to ride a dragon ride into a new city liquor store...... there could have been something.

It's just that the Dragon Knights Commander is a key position, and besides, now the first prince of this country is in that position.

If we are to pursue the Dragon Knights, it will have to be after we have the circumstantial evidence to do so.

But unexpectedly, your brother shook his head.

"But that's not all, actually. There's another rumor."

"Rumors? I don't hear rumors other than cleaver (ripper)?

I'll ask your brother, who told Mr. Rouche.

"Until the Ripper came out, I should have heard it occasionally. I'm talking about the Masked Knight. The rumor of appearing out of the sky at night in the presence of a needy man, leaving the evil man with success or defeat, on the side of justice"

- Masked knight. Speaking of which, there was talk of that.

Shit, there's a glimmer of moonlight flashing at night in the new city. Its moonlight name, which shoots in response to the voices of evil abused people, is Mask of Moonlights, a Moon Ride mask.

If you ever come across a sleigh, a pickpocket, an extortion or a robbery in the new town of Monocanus, call it out loud.

He will necessarily respond to the cry of the weak and virtuous citizens.

His name is Mask of Moonlights.

He who will make him a messenger of Luranus the moon god, and will punish the wicked men heavenly.

... and well, there was a commotion about a few months ago that billas with such texts would be pasted all over the new city.

I had completely forgotten because of the Ripper incident afterwards.

But...

"Was that a true story? I just thought it was a perfectly painted newspaper setup dema."

"There's not enough originality in a painted newspaper to make up a bizarre story from a complete lack of information. The original existence is properly confirmed. More than a dozen times I've caught a sleigh or a tease in a new city, three times I've beaten up a robber, one time I've rushed to the point where he's going to be murdered and captured the killer, and once I've seized the scene of a moron and handed over the killer's personality to an officer knight.

I just don't succeed every time. I've just discovered the murder scene and reported it to the officer knight, and I've been manually escaped by a group sleigh. Still, I'd say you're working hard enough. It's just that I work at least many times as hard as the average officer knight. "

"You're on the side of justice. Hey!

That's what Mr. Luce said when he slapped his hand.

"That's a big deal to think about. But that's strange. Although how many new towns have insecure areas, is that something that you can rush to the crime scene every time?

"Ed is right about that. The masked knight, as his name suggests, is a knight in a pure white iron mask imitating an eagle, but according to eyewitness testimony, he comes down from the sky."

"From the sky?

"Perhaps the Masked Knight possesses the skill or magic of flying in the sky or the Tamed Warcraft"

"Is there such a thing?

"Come on, when I contacted the Temple of the Circle, it was an answer that such skills and magic had not been confirmed. But if you mean unconfirmed skills, there's a hell of an exception in front of me right now."

That's what your brother looks at me for.

I'm cheeky.

"What's a Tamed Warcraft?

"This is also a half-legendary story, but there are stories that in the ancient days there was a technique of harboring eagle lions (griffons) to make them passengers. Even if we don't get that far, I can't say enough that no one has a demon who can fly through the sky individually, just like the Dragon Knights own a dragon cavalry. If I could do that, I'd have the level of talent that the country would immediately try to have."

"So the knight in the mask is an eagle lion (Griffon) or a dragon rider, so you're flying through the sky and watching the new city? So if there's a case, we'll plunge down and catch the killer..."

What a pain in the ass.

"What the hell are you doing that for?

"I don't know. Maybe it's honor greed, or you purely want to reduce crime. There is also the possibility that we are making a petition to God and are doing it to meet the necessary conditions for this. Anyway, until the Ripper incident, he - the Masked Knight - was the center of rumors about the new city. You're on the side of justice that thwarts evil and helps weakness."

That's all I heard, and, uh, I remembered Mr. Ciel.

Mr. Ciel has the skill to step into the air called [Empty Walk]. There will be more masked knights than enough in strength.

Speaking of which, he also said something meaningful: "Heroes hide who they are".

Nevertheless, no certainty would be possible either. As far as the rumors go, the masked knight seems to think he's a man.

But nevertheless...

"But... he's suspicious, isn't he?

"That's suspicious... just showing up at the crime scene is suspicious without complaining. If you look at it in a nasty way, you can also suspect that you're watching someone who's about to commit a crime, waiting to commit a crime, and then catching them. I've had a voice for a long time. There are people who say it's an insult to the Knights of Officers responsible for the security of the King's capital. His Majesty said," Throw it away because it's funny. "

That Osama would say.

"Anyway, with the cleaver (ripper) incident, his position has become subtle. Of course, if he was a Ripper, if he wasn't a Ripper, the Masked Knight wouldn't be able to fight the Ripper."

"If the Masked Knight wasn't a Ripper, would the Ripper be able to escape not only the Officer Knight but also the Masked Knight?

Conversely, if the Masked Knight was a Ripper, he would be using the means of flying through the skies that he owns to create a Ripper case across both old and new cities. "

Either way, the Masked Knight, who was on the side of the common man, is now in a situation that is significantly undermining his face.

It is also possible that he is about to catch the Ripper by now. "Masked Knight VS Ripper (Ripper)" may be quite an interesting card, but we're not in a position to set a high profile. Anyway, if the Masked Knight is going to catch the Ripper, it's going to be tough if anything happens to him in return.

"- I'd like to start by looking for a masked knight."

Brother David said.

"Your brother thinks the Masked Knight is a Ripper?

"Uh-huh!? I don't think that person is definitely a bad person...... right?

To my words, Mr. Luce speaks up, too.

"It would be unlikely, indeed, as Mr. Luce put it. Because if you make an incident like this one where you travel to and from both cities overnight, it's obvious that you're suspicious."

Your brother's sweet on Mr. Luce, so isn't your deduction a little sweet?

"Is it possible you haven't thought that far? If the masked knight was carrying out his own policing activities out of his self-evident appetite, maybe that's not enough and he started making his own cleaver (ripper) case."

"That's where you can't deny it. However, I deduce that the Masked Knight is not a Ripper. Instead, we can already broadly narrow down about who the masked knight is"

"Heh!?"

I accidentally raised my voice out of the blue.

What kind of thought process can you deduce the identity of a masked knight from all this information?

And if you don't think you're a cleaver (ripper), why stick to a masked knight?

"That's why I'm gonna stake out tomorrow night, Ed. Because you have the ability to be an example, I expect you to find a masked knight as a lookout."

Looks like Mr. Luce lay low in front of him, but with [difficulty in labor] and the ability of different classes, it won't be difficult to find a masked knight who seems to be netting over the new city.

Looking at me nodding, my brother now turned his gaze to Mr. Luce.

"By the way, Mr. Luce, are you okay on your way home at night?

If you don't mind... well, I'll... "

Oh, my brother's inviting Mr. Luce!

When it comes to librarians, they have an image that seems low in combat, but as I said before, Brother David today is a level wizard who outperforms court magicians. Even if the Ripper attacked me, I don't think I'd be unconscious.

"What!? No... it's okay, it's... right?

Mr. Luce waves to say he did it and tries to turn down his brother's invitation.

"But a poor woman like you walks out at night..."

"Or, I can't believe it's pathetic, no... Huh! I'm not, and I can use a lot of magic, so it's okay to get caught up in weird people."

That's what Mr. Luce does to create a force bubble in his arm.

... Yeah, you don't bloat a bit.

My brother stares at Mr. Luce as he eats in his bright white arms. Relax, you skank.

"Brother, brother"

"Hey, what's up, Ed?"

"The softness of a woman's arms... is the same as the softness of an array?

"Ah, alle..."

I'll send a glimpse into Mr. Luce's chest.

I hear that's all your brother figured out. She dyed her face bright red and looked like she was about to blow out hot air.

I say it on behalf of my brother like that.

"I know you have a magical arm, but it's actually dangerous, isn't it? If my brother is magical, he's quite something, so why don't you let me send him in a full-blown sense?

I didn't have to wonder why I was asking for it instead, but I asked Mr. Luce to do so.

"What... no, that..."

Mr. Luce looks like a bum.

Maybe you're involved with circumstances around not revealing your real name.

But then again, there are cleavers (rippers) in the old town, and it seems like it would be good to remember the danger.

... Maybe after a while, Mr. Rouche is stronger than words.

Even as we speak in the browsing room, he is surprisingly knowledgeable. Not surprisingly, he had the courtroom magician-like skill in magic. Or even the possibility that it was a court magician who was coming with patience.

I've refrained so far from peeking into people's status because I don't think they have a good taste, but let me take a look at this for the safety of Mr. Luce and the peace of mind of his brother.

I try to use [the Devil's Eye of Truth] with the utmost care not to be noticed.

... What's this?

…… Can I help you?

I shake my head in a panic to Mr. Luce, who leans his head strangely.

Now - [The Devil's Eye of Truth] made Mr. Luce bare (...).

Of course I can't even see the status.

When Asla was there, she managed to see the status, although it was a bug.

Ms. Ciel had some of her statuses hidden in The Guardianship of the Good God, but other parts could normally be seen.

But this time, in the first place, I can't see the status itself.

[Demon Eye of Truth] barely responded, which means that the invisible, ultra-fine needle of magic for information detection launched by [Demon Eye of Truth] barely passed Mr. Luce's body.

I look at Mr. Luce's face once now.

"Duh, what's going on...? Is there something on your face?

Mr. Luce looked just like he always did.

I mean, it doesn't seem like Mr. Luce has sent a detection by [Demon Eye of Truth] with some skill.

"No, anything"

Brother David observed me shaking my head, but he never said anything on this occasion. instead,

"I can't say I can't. But if you need me or Ed, I'll give you a lift home if you need me."

"Oh, thank you...... But it's okay."

"Oh really... well, if you don't mind this too... for once, at my parents' house, and even at meals..."

My brother tries to invite Mr. Rouche without turning.

But there,

'- Ed?'

"... Melvi?

[Narrating] from Melvi came in.

Brother David and Mr. Luce looked at me all together.

"Are you still in the library? I need to check something out, too, so can I go that way?

"Melvi did? That's unusual. Do you know where it is?

"Follow [the reading] and you'll find out somehow."

"Can Melvi break through that keeper? Okay, I'll wait."

Melvi is also getting permission from the king to get a bibliokee in the library labyrinth. Also, you wouldn't be caught up in that Keeper's questioning that Brother David and I broke through because you cooperated during the Electromagnetic Barrier.

My brother asks me after my conversation with Melvi.

"Is Melvi coming?

"Yeah, he said he wanted to look into it. Mr. Luce, my friend... is he gone?

"Mr. Luce said he remembered his errands and left in advance."

I'm a "fairy magician" and I'll explore the surrounding signs, but there were no more signs of Mr. Luce.

Sounds like you were in a real hurry. Have you and your brothers stopped and done something wrong? No, maybe you used me to cut through your brother's approach. So for Mr. Luce, your brother has no pulse...?

Besides, it's just the way it was. I can also begin to pursue it directly, but what the hell should I think...

"... well. Well, it's hard to explain Melvi, and was that helpful?

"If you're Mr. Luce, I think I can introduce you. Somehow, I feel like Melvi and I are going to get along."

"Right. Let's take a look at this next time."

Melvi came as we talked about that.

I tried to tell you two stories earlier about the [Devil's Eye of Truth] Bare Street, but Melvi said, "I don't know," and my brother said, "There are some possibilities..." and shut up.

but even so, me and Brother David helped Melvi look into it, and then we left the library labyrinth in time for dinner.
