No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

The heart of the new town is around the Golden Gate Bridge, the only route to the old town. The city stretches in a fan-shaped fashion from the Golden Gate Bridge, centered on Main Street, which stretches from the Golden Gate Bridge to outside the city.

Me and Brother David rented a corner of the stuffing by the Golden Gate Bridge and waited for the Masked Knight to show up. I don't mind at all that the Ripper (Ripper) rather than the Masked Knight is more catchy, but I would expect only the Ripper (Ripper) who hasn't shown any shadows or shapes so far.

Sometimes I leave the blockage, climb the bridge head of the Golden Gate Bridge, and look for suspicious shadows over the new town using visual and signs detection capabilities enhanced by the Immortalist.

I'm going back to the jail after several rounds of watching. Of course I'm not tired, so it's possible to keep watch without a break, but I need a progress report. Some hands combine [reading] and [spiritual magic] to relay audio, as Fire Dragon Agnia was doing one day, but it would be easier not to do anything unusual because there are other knights in the stuffing.

Brother David was spreading the book in the stuffing room. I wondered what book it was, and it was my brother's own book, Physics - The Law of Movement. My brother put a note pad made by the Culver Chamber of Commerce next to the book and seemed to be calculating something in his spare time.

By the way, library labyrinth books are banned and can't be brought out. This seems to be a systematic constraint on the library labyrinth itself rather than rules or something. He says he can't even write it down and "bring it up" as a copy. When you try to hold a book or a copy, the book returns to its original position on the bookshelf, and the copy disappears. However, I can keep the notes I've chewed and recapitulated enough with my own head. The educational intent of the person who created the library labyrinth is clear, isn't it?

"Looks like you're still here."

Brother David asks.

"Yeah. In the first place, it's hard to read the signs because of the fog and the noise of the wind today"

"They were strong the night of the incident. It's possible you didn't hear a scream because of that. Moreover, on windy days, moisture flows from the sea side, making the city prone to mist"

"So the Ripper is after a windy day?

"What do you think? I don't have many samples yet, so I can't say anything."

Brother David, who will say "sample" of the murder.

Objective when it comes to objectivity, but it's going to be misunderstood if people ask.

"What happened to Jeremiah?

"Oh, he's still up there in my place. Asura's with me."

Even Jeremiah and Asla were following in today's investigation. We're both on the bridge now. Jeremiah, as well as the feathered Asura, is not in danger of falling. It was enough to climb high.

Talking to me and Brother David, I suddenly heard a push-kill landing tone called Stadt. Jeremiah rushes into the stuffing.

"Mr. Edgar! I'm out!

Me and Brother David were looking at each other and popping out the stuffing the next moment.

◇

"Ahhhh! Oh, my God!

The scream of a young woman stuck to Main Street.

Running out to be played by that scream was a tiny figure with a twist. The shadow spurned the crowd on Main Street or fled into a narrow alley with no questions asked.

The alley behind the new town of Monocanus, which has developed naturally without urban planning, is intricately strange. Once you get away with it, you won't get caught so easily.

"- Heh. That's an easy job. It's getting ridiculous to do a serious quest."

The shadow took off his hood with such a twinkle.

It was a man in his forties or so who showed up from under the hood. He's a tall, cat-backed man with the kind of eye that looks like a mustache and looks a lot like the rat guy I saw in a previous life cartoon.

But it wouldn't be a good idea to judge people by their appearance alone. This man must have a sick daughter when he got home, and he had to tease her to earn his meds.

"Damn, how many quests did you make, if you don't like the Alliance guys, you're not going up the ranks. Oh, my God, it's so bad you took it from my client's wallet."

A man throws up poisonously.

Correction. Looks like he was a snug bottom adventurer as he seemed. They say that when an adventurer commits a crime, he will be punished heavier than the average person, but no adventurer will ever be able to break himself in this way.

"Hino, Phew, Mi... That woman, she's had it for a long time. Let's go to the whorehouse."

A man grinned in disgust under the moonlight.

That's when it happened.

"- Oh, boy, I thought the Ripper might have shown up and popped up, and I thought," Little villain without goods. "

Out of nowhere, Baritone's good voice echoed.

"So, who is it!?"

A little guy shakes his neck to the left and right and looks around.

But there are no other shadows around the man.

- The moon is beautiful tonight.

To the baritone that sounded again, the little man looks up.

The little man looked up ahead - on the roof, in the pose of standing one foot in the chimney, one man stood. The man doesn't know his face because he carries the moon, but he seems to be wearing a cape, and the shade of a cloth stretching from the shadows hangs out in a strong wind.

Seeing that silhouette, the little man snapped stunned.

"No way..."

"Huh. You're a villain who rocks the peace of the king's people! Carve my name into his soul! I am The Mask of Moonlight, the moon rider! He who sends down heaven to the wicked on behalf of the beautiful Luranus! Yuck! Luranusnova!

A midday flash rushed through the area as the shadow on the roof made a puffy spread of both hands.

"Meh, my eyes are ahhhhhhh!

A shadow on the roof lands staggeringly by the little man holding his eyes and nodding.

Precisely he was jumping down as he kicked the building wall several times and slowed down. At the moment of landing, [mindfulness magic] - No, because of the magnitude of the magic, [physical magic] is used to mitigate the rate of fall. From this movement alone, we can see that the figure is excellent for both physical manipulation abilities and magic.

In addition,

"Tornado kick!

"Guha!"

The shadow - seen in the dark vision abilities of the "Immortalist", wearing a white mask and a white cloak, as rumored - released a spinning kick screaming the name of the move. Moreover, [wind magic] is put together on its kicking feet. I mean, this was a magic trick (...) while it was preliminary.

The little man who ate the whirlwind spinning kick dances through the universe like he was jumped and slammed against the alley wall.

"Gu... damn, don't lick this Bly!

The unexpectedly gutsy little man takes the knife out of his nose and throws it into the shadows.

It was quite sharp [knife throwing], but the shadow played it somehow with a fist that kept the wind together, approaching the little man.

And

"Moonlight Fist. Whoa!

A dazzling shadow fist of man was sucked into the dovetail of the little man.

... This was also a magic move, but [Light Magic] does not deal damage to the human opponent. It was just a body blow with my fist glowing.

"Kahaha..."

The little man peels off his white eyes and scratches them.

"Ha-ha-ha! Justice wins!

The shadow lifted his shining fist to heaven and raised his victory.

This is the masked knight... what a tight opponent.

What's tight, it's too tight to know who this guy is (...).

"Protecting the Good God (Viz Law)" (Protecting Viz Law, the God who presides over law and order. Every time you execute justice while hiding who you are, you get a huge bonus for acquiring, growing, and increasing levels of skills. It makes it harder to find out who you are while you're hiding your face. It makes it easier to get people around you to believe that you're on the side of justice even if you're hiding your face.

Yeah, well, I'd like to stick around a lot...

What the hell, brother!

I didn't know Brother Berhardt had the Guardianship of the Good God.

... By the way, the two names, The Mask of Moonlights on the Moon Ride, made sure to seep while I was looking at the status and the letters came up. I guess my recognition of the masked knight made me two names.

While I'm holding my head, Brother David comes out of the shadow of what was lurking with me and talks to the Masked Knight. The white iron mask, designed to mimic eagles, covers only the top from the nose. The masked knight opened his exposed mouth wide and was still laughing high.

"I'm sorry it's so exciting... but may I have a moment, Lord Masked Knight?"

"Ho... this is a rare customer"

No surprise, the masked knight returns that to Brother David.

Brother Berhardt has [sign perception], so I guess he was aware that Brother David was lurking.

I also show up from the shadows following Brother David.

"Hmm. That was late, Royal Detective and his assistant"

That's what the masked knight said. His voice is about half an octave higher than his usual brother Berhardt's, and his tone is not his usual glitter, but daunting. I guess I'm using skills like [Voice Changer] that were in my status.

Brother David showed only surprise at the shape,

"Well, do you know about us? I haven't really shown my face to the investigation yet."

"Well, let's just say it has its own network of information."

"Do you even match your face to your name on the information network? I think I've met you somewhere before."

Hit me...... is Brother David noticing as well?

Your brother's hidden dos mind is hidden in thin, grinning lips.

Brother David goes on to say.

"I hope to accompany you as an important reference person in the Mask of Moonlights, Ripper (Ripper) case"

"... what if I told you I didn't like it?

"I will ask you to respond with your strength."

The masked knight nicely distorted the mouth of his face, which was only exposed in the lower half, blowing his finger whistle the next moment.

Then, from the blind spot on the roof, a little wing dragon descended. About 1.5 meters long. That was, of course, Pappy, the ride of Brother Berhardt.

The masked knight says as he grabs onto Pappy's leg and floats to the universe.

"You can't even fly to the sky with that royal detective."

But that was a grand flag.

"- Jeremiah, Asla!

"Become - whoa!?"

On my signal, Jeremiah and Asra descended from the sky.

To be precise, Asura, with her wings spread, came down sharply with Jeremiah.

Jeremiah slapped Asla's arm holding herself as she jumped steel thread at the masked knight who tried to escape. Was that the signal, Asla takes her hand off Jeremiah? Jeremiah, who was to fall free, took advantage of her own weight to pull down the disfigured Masked Knight & Pappy into the ground in the air.

"Guh!"

Beaten to the ground, the masked knight screams.

Sounds like he was slowing down his fall rate with [physical magic] just before, so he'll be safe.

Jeremiah, of course, is landing as she flips herself magnificently in the air and sheds the shock of the fall just because of her appearance.

To that Jeremiah, a pappy who was interrupted in flight tried to roar.

"Ma, wait, Red Maru! Don't fight them!

A masked knight who manages to get up orders Pappy as he fixes a white mask that is uneven in the fall.

And

"Huh, this guy's here."

A masked knight said so with a sigh, keeping his body bound by steel thread.

Look at that attitude, Brother David listens.

"The Mask of the Moon Ride, Mask of Moonlight. Are you the Ripper?

So Asura, who flew to swirl vertically through the narrow alley, stepped down in front of me.

I'll give you my head while I tell you I did well. "Pi, come on," Asura raised her voice, feeling good. Jeremiah comes by me too and looks like she wants something. But I also stroked Jeremiah's head for her.... Jeremiah is supposed to be my sister-in-law.

While he was doing so, he was beginning to excuse himself as the masked knight waved his hands like he panicked.

"It's outrageous! Why should I be the one who loves justice, like serial killings!

"But you can go back and forth between the old and the new cities. Mobility as a masked knight is the biggest reason I doubt you. I can explain anything about motives.

Besides, you, who are supposed to love justice, for some reason only let the Ripper (Ripper) go wild. Isn't that because you're a cleaver (ripper) yourself?

"An outrageous theory! Indeed, I have failed to capture the Ripper, but that is not because I am the Ripper!

"You can say anything with your mouth"

"... how can you trust me?

"I want you to take that mask off and reveal who you are. On top of that, if you could tell us where you were and how you were on the night of the incident, the charges against you would come off for the first time."

To Brother David's words, a masked knight silences.

"... he can't"

"Because we're going to have to take him straight to the jar."

The masked knight silenced again and then told him to groan.

"Royal detective, this Ripper thing is a lot more dangerous than you think, isn't it? I'm not telling you not to go in deep, but be very careful. The Ripper could have a powerful back."

Brother Berhardt...... the words of the masked knight were meaningful.

"... well. That's an interesting story. But I'd like to ask you a few more details?

"You can't do that. -" Burning Fist "!

The masked knight burned out the steel thread that exhorted himself with a magic trick.

And I took something out of my hips, a lot of shapes.

That's... That's my son!

Recently, callers known as rattles have been distributed to knights other than sergeant knights. If you encounter a Ripper, ring it up and call an officer knight.

The rattle is as simple as hanging a bunch of thin wooden plates on both sides of a larger shaped wooden plate with only one side fixed with strings. You had that in toys for toddlers in your previous life.

When the masked knight waved the rattle, the ragged and obnoxious sound echoed in the alley.

So I was slowly understanding the thoughts of the masked knight.

"- Hey, over here!

The officer knights who heard the rattle rush from behind us.

An officer knight must have come near the scene in a hiccup that originally occurred on Main Street.

We can't be serious in front of the Sergeant Knights. Of course, even Jeremiah and Brother David have concealed a level of strength that has strayed from the regular track, and even to Asla it would be troublesome to just be seen feathers.

Jeremiah was quickly turning behind Asla and hiding her feathers with a hood and cape sewn into Asla's clothes.

"Oh, you are... The Mask of Moonlights on the Moon Ride!

An officer knight shouted, blaming the masked knight.

The masked knight threw the bag, which was rolling by his side, towards the officer knight. That's - that's a bag that was snagged by a hitter. If you're a hitter man, eat the Masked Knight's "Moonlight Fist" and stay stretched.

"Knights, I have deposited this occasion! Farewell, gentlemen! Ha-ha-ha!"

As the masked knight quickly spanned the papi, the papi slammed his wings with all his might and flew out of the alley.

Jeremiah shrugged, but looking at the situation, the pursuit seemed to give up.

"... go away?

Asura asks, shaking her concealed feathers,

"No, let's not"

The identity is broken.

You can go see him in person tomorrow.

"... so what about you guys?

That's what I'm gonna tell the sergeant knight. I'm gonna show him my ID as a Royal Detective Assistant to explain the situation.

In the meantime, the sergeant knights who overheard the rattle continued to gather.

"Hey, the Moon Rider Mask of Moonlights has caught the hitter -!

Cut off by what the first knights who came said, the knights began a lively exchange of information.

"Oh, that's him again. I've been crossed."

"He's had a hard time every time."

"But who is that masked knight?

"Hey that's you... I guess you shouldn't go in there. There are a lot of tips. There's only one pappy in the Dragon Knights now."

"There's a bunch of people riding dragon rides in a tavern in New Town all night long, right? Rumor has it that he will behave like a liquor to other guests who are with him. There's a pappy in there, and he's a prince... shuffle. No, I'm talking about Mr. Fried's squire. More than that... Well, guess what"

"The Masked Knight: The Mask of the Moon Ride: The Mask of Moonlight... What the hell is Hart..."

Hey, you definitely know the last guy!

"... That was a farce."

That's what Brother David said with such a good smile that he rarely showed, and that night's catch was a curtain.
