No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

The next day, when I visited the Dragon Knights jar with Brother David, it was convenient for Brother Berhardt to be his turn alone.

"" The Mask of the Moon Ride "!

"Hey, what are you talking about?

Brother Berhardt swims his eyes and answers that.

"I'm sorry, because if you look at the status, it's one shot"

"Gu... Speaking of which, Edgar had such skills"

I hear your brother noticed, took us to the Knights' conference room, made sure no one was coming before we started talking.

"It was a couple of months ago now. Suddenly a man named Viz Law, the god who commands law and order, appears on the dream pillow and disappears, only telling him to use it according to his conscience, because it gives him protection and skill.

Yeah, of course, he explained the contents and skills of the shelter. Otherwise, I don't know what I can do.

Master Viz Law was a sleepy man with black wavy hair, his body fluttering left and right, and he had a balance on one hand. It's consistent with heritage, and it can't mean it's fake because it was actually given both skills and protection.

Whatever skill it was...... Edgar must have seen it already?

"Yeah, [case detection] right. Ability to detect signs of incidents in the vicinity"

I've already explained this to Brother David in this regard.

"It was sudden. I didn't know why at first.

but there was a Ripper case and here's what I thought. - Master Viz Law is telling me to get the Ripper. "

But then would Viz Law have been pre-detecting the incidence of the Ripper case?

Well, I can give my brother [case detection] what an unusual skill, so it's no surprise that the person at the time can predict the case. He's a god.

"Just in case... how was your brother the day of the incident?

"Can you tell me the exact date?

"Yeah... the first case is December 7, the second case is January 7, the third case is February 3, and the fourth and fifth cases are February 17."

I'll take the notebook out of the dimensional storage and explain it to Brother Belbalt.

"Hey Edgar, shouldn't dimensional storage be used in public too?

Brother Berhardt asks me worried.

"It's okay, 'cause this is what we do in public"

When I take something out of my pocket, I make it look like I'm taking a handmade piece out of dimensional storage. Then out of the pocket on the other side he still took out the handmade bear wood carvings.

"... you're clever"

"I'm not."

Rather, isn't it the basic technique of the reincarnated?

While I'm fooling around on the inside, Brother Berhardt answers me as I turn the schedule of the Knights that was stuck on the conference room wall.

"On the day of the December incident, the Dragon Knights were off. However, there was an annual meeting for everyone to attend, so we were all rolling out to a tavern in the new town."

That's... that's a subtle story.

If everyone was there, it would be an alibi, but if they were in the new town, they might have been able to get out and start a Ripper case.

"What's the stables turn?

"Of course I had a retired dragon knight give me a special allowance to do that. Even so, this allowance is out of Your Highness's pocket money."

I wonder if retired dragon knights can steal a cavalry dragon, etc., etc., also need to put some exploration into it?

"How was the day of the January incident?

"January's, it was the 7th. I made a scene at the Dragon Knights banquet until morning. The next morning, I was hungover and I said," Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was a mutilator. "

"Is it another banquet?

Brother David said it as if he was a little frightened.

"No, I've decided to get engaged to one of the veteran dragon knights. Your Highness himself said he wanted to throw a banquet."

"That also means the captain, His Highness Ilfreed?

"His Royal Highness said he couldn't expose himself to the ugliness of the next day's climb, and he was missing it along the way, because that would have gone around late at night. He's a good friend."

"That banquet's in the new town, too?

"No, I booked a restaurant in the old town then. It's a celebratory seat, and its veteran dragon knights are from the royal family there."

Then the second alibi is perfect. That's what the Dragon Knights are all about as long as they're not grubbing up and doing the Ripper... I've read mystery novels like that in my previous life, but it seems better not to mention the title.

Likewise, the third cleaver (ripper) case - confirms the alibi about the killing at Viscount Vistacia's residence in the Old Town. At this time, the scene was night in the old town, and not all Dragon Knight alibis were established. Perhaps I should rather say that the second alibi proof was too clean. Later, we'll have to ask Mr. Corsey to look it up individually. It seems that background checks on Dragon Knights members with a lot of aristocratic origins are a lot of difficulty, and Mr. Corsey didn't seem to want to do it, but when things got this way, he seems to have to do it. You might want to give Mr. Corsey a special stomach medicine that he made by ranking Alchemist.

"So, what about yesterday, February 17th, the night the double homicide happened?

"Oh, 'double homicide' because there was murder in both cities? Edgar said it anyway."

Brother Berhardt turns his gaze on me like a tease, but he's wet about it.

"This is a double homicide - it's an impossible crime," he said on Doya's face. The person at the time is way off his face. Hey.

Well, even Brother David wouldn't want anyone naming him "The Mask of Moonlights" or anything like that.

"Anyway, you mean the night before yesterday? It's easy for me to be personal. I was at the stables, worried that I wasn't well enough to ride a dragon."

Brother Berhardt's dragon riding is about the dragon pappy you showed me before.

You were also active last night.

"All night?

"The Dragon Knight and the Dragon Rider are one and the same. Well, then, when you're in a bit of a predicament on the battlefield, the dragon rider shakes off the dragon knight and gets away with it. So in this case, the Dragon Knight reveals himself overnight in the stables. Then the Dragon Cavalry will stop abandoning the Dragon Cavalry who stayed with me when I was in pain."

Yeah. It really takes a lot of work to become a one-man dragon knight.

"Especially since Pappy is weak, he gets rammed up and injured when left alone at times like this. Some knights on duty made it easy for me to prove I wasn't away from the stables."

I see. You'll need to look into it once and for all, but there doesn't seem to be any element of doubt about your brother's words.

"Good. Perfect alibi."

"Alibi?"

"Proof of absenteeism... in short, that he wasn't near the scene at the time of the incident."

"Is that the guy from the past life... you were in a noisy world?

No, I think it's a lot more noisy over here.

But the quote I fought with the Passenger, the police officer shot me to death and reincarnated me. Even if I said it, it might not be very convincing.

"What was His Highness Ilfreed doing?

Brother David listens.

"That day, he stayed in the stables late at night and taught me how to treat Papi in these cases. I don't know what happened after that... but there's only one thing I can say."

"What is it?

"My presence at the Dragon Knights stables meant that His Highness could not use the Black Dragon King. I can guess why you're so obsessed with me. In order to have a Ripper (Ripper) incident in both cities overnight, there is a 'foot' to go back and forth between the two cities. I assume you're saying that the most prominent candidate for that 'foot' is the Dragon Knights' Dragon Rider?

Brother Berhardt said with a bitter face.

Right, I knew you'd noticed.

"But you don't know what's fortunate in the world. Thanks to the poor condition of my dragon rider, I can assure you that none of the dragon riders in the stables were brought up that night. I haven't spent much time alone in the stables, but it's unlikely I used a dragon rider."

"Can you prove that?

"Pappy's ill health was seen and found out by a Knights dedicated physician. He has a condition called pterygoid fever, which often takes a growing pappy. There are theories about prepping the wings before they get bigger, but anyway, the puppy with the pterygoid fever gets sore wings and can't fly. I couldn't use my pappy that day. That's why I just had to be patient with [case detection] about my chest groaning and similar sensations."

This is what Brother Berhardt is trying to say.

- That night, as one of the Dragon Knights, no one was able to use the dragon riding in the stables to go back and forth between the two cities.

Including, of course, Prince Irfrid, the captain of the regiment.

"By and large, using dragon riding to and from both cities is itself possible, though. Where are you gonna hide the dragon rider after you get off? Then, if you even cross the moon when you're flying, a shadow will fall on the ground. Even if it isn't, some guys have a good sense of suspicion and realisation that the star blink is hidden. I know this guy well because I've been a scattered struggle to hide who he is as the" Mask of Moonlights "on the Moon Ride. How much of a night, and how much of a black dragon rider like the Black Dragon King, it's hard to get through the city without anyone blaming you?

Brother Berhardt, no, I had a real feeling about the words of the "Mask of Moonlights" on the Moon Ride.

But there, he is a behavioral musician with an emphasis on demonstration and validation. Brother David says calmly.

"The Fifth Incident Site - No, it may be the Fourth because it can't be definitively one way or the other yet, but anyway, the Incident Site on the New Town side was a Culver Chamber of Commerce owned warehouse off the New Town. As a place, you're on the shore of a lake near the border between Lake Monocanus and the sea. where it hits the base of the sand state to the sea," you know.

"... I see. Since the stables of the Dragon Knights are outside the north of the Old Town, can we reach the warehouse unnoticed if we cross the lake by rolling out from there to the foggy lake and gliding over the lake surface or overhanging the sea? And if that's an unpopular warehouse, you might be able to keep a dragon rider hidden for a short time."

"In that case, is dragon riding something that can be grown up without asking?

"I can. I mean, it's accurate that you're training so you can. Though the Dragon Knights may seem like a battlefield flower shape, actual operations include scouting enemy forces and terrain observation over enemy territory. It is only natural that you will need to descend into enemy territory during that time. That's when terror drives me into trouble."

Brother Berhardt agrees with Brother David, but shrugged his shoulders before changing his expression.

"But the Dragon Knights' Dragon Riders weren't used any more than I was in the stables that night. If this is, for example, some evil knights of quality - people who only think about being flattered and naughty by His Highness, it might be possible to silence them with one shot of His Highness's command. But I was the one in the stables that night. Sure, I may have your Highness watching, but I swear to you, Master Viz Law, I'm not gonna take a deal like that, okay? No, I don't think His Royal Highness would have said that to me in the first place."

Brother Berhardt's eyes to say so were serious and he didn't look very lying.

No, either way, more than being my family, if Melvi were asked the same thing when we were together, I'd expose the lies. Even from the personalities I've dated and know, I didn't think it was possible that my brother was a mutilator (ripper) or that he was lying under the cover of His Royal Highness Ilfrid.

Brother David thought that would be the same, and I asked him how it went.

"But apart from that, Your Highness would also like to talk to you."

Brother David said that without reading the air at all.

"Oh, hey, are you suspicious of Your Highness!? I would have found out there was an 'alibi' in the current story!?"

"The basic thing about behavioral museums is that they don't have preconceptions"

To Brother Berhardt, who was just grasping, Brother David returned a word without a shard of affection.

But then, when I see the universe like I've come up with something, I turn to Brother Berhardt again.

"... Hmm. Brother Berhardt, isn't there something wrong with you?

Brother Berhardt wandered over to Brother David as he stared straight at me.

"Duh, what makes you think that?

"You're a person who doesn't lie either...... it's okay, I won't make it worse. If you hide poorly, you won't be able to hit it when you have to."

"Mm... right. Okay, I'll trust you to talk."

Brother Berhardt opened his tease with one sigh.

"On the night of the incident, I felt signs of the incident from within the Royal Castle. That's two more from the royal quarters."

"Hmm, I mean, Brother Berhardt himself thinks Prince Ilfreed is one of the suspects?

"There's no way His Highness would do such a gloomy killing! And in the first place, all I know is that there must have been some kind of incident, and I don't know what kind of incident there was."

"But are you sure there was some kind of incident? Why didn't you want to rush then?

"As for the Royal Castle, there are excellent Kingsguards and Royal Knights (Royal Guards). I didn't think it was necessary for me to make a scene. That would be Dad Alfred's job."

"Weren't you allowed enough to put in a report?

"To be honest, in response to the incident, what I thought was that Princess Irvara must have done it again."

"Oh...... I see"

"Princess Irvara would have had an explosion the other day when you came to visit the stables? It also gathers the surrounding ears and eyes, so the reaction of [case detection] is huge. It's bigger than yesterday."

What an annoying story that is.

"I snuck in later, asked Princess Irvara's maid, and that night Princess Irvara was talking to the court magician, so she didn't experiment."

"Wasn't there anything else happening that sounded like a case?

Brother David asked.

"It didn't seem like it. Still, we don't know if the midnight reaction was a Ripper. A royal castle is a demon in that sense. I shouldn't have stuck my neck in it. There's also a fight. But leave that to those in position."

Brother Berhardt shrugged his shoulder.

"Truth be told, there are occasional signs of incidents within the royal castle or from noble mansions. But there's no way we're going into a nobleman's mansion. When it comes to what you can do, it's enough to gather information later and alert the right people."

They won't let them open who they are, so they're going to make a submission under the name of "The Mask of Moonlights" on the Moon Ride.

"Besides, as far as I'm concerned, I want to give priority to cases involving innocent citizens.... I can also say I have to. Well, I'm all alone. We can't rush to the scene of every incident that occurs in Wang Du."

"I see. [Case Detection] is a cruel skill. I know something's going on, but I'm not sure I can intervene."

"That's what happened. But even though I can't intervene in all of the cases, if I can solve one or two cases, there are a lot of people who can help me with that. If you regret not being able to help, you will not be able to help anyone who can. Lord Viz Law, the god of law and order, must have given me this skill because he thought I could carry this weight. I have to answer that expectation."

Having said all that, Brother Berhardt's face was just one serious thing to have been chosen by God.

"[Case Detection] is something that can be detected at what stage of the incident?

"I don't know exactly, either, but you can think of it as the moment someone recognizes it as a case. If the victim notices the killer's intentions, that's when the body was discovered by a third party if he was killed without notice."

"Does it mean that the size of the case changes the size of the skill's response?

"It's not a big or small case. It's how big someone who recognizes the case will recognize the case. Even with the same sleigh, the reaction is small if you didn't get slaughtered a lot, and if you got slaughtered a bag with a lot of money, it can be a stronger reaction than a little violent incident. I'm guessing last night's hiccups were in the bag, even something so important."

So, Brother Berhardt - the masked knight ran off wondering if he was just a ripper (ripper).

"What about the Ripper case?

"Honestly, there are too many reactions in the middle of the night to know which is it. But on the contrary, the Ripper kills the victim without causing him to react strongly."

"How does it compare to robbery or extortion?

"I guess the fact that I didn't notice meant that it was about to bury. So here's what I think. The Ripper is not meant to terrorize the victim. If it had been, the reaction of the case would have been more intense and long-lasting"

"If you had reacted like that, you mean Brother Berhardt would have already caught the Ripper..."

Brother Berhardt nodded at me crushing.

Brother David says.

"So for the Ripper, killing is just one of the necessary steps. In fact, according to an appraisal by a doctor, the Ripper (Ripper) is the first to scratch his throat and kill his opponent. It's after that that I tear my belly. On the contrary - it's not meant to hurt the victim and enjoy the pain, for example by tearing his belly."

There are also people in this world who have preliminary forensic knowledge. It was possible enough to distinguish between what was worn while the wound was alive and what was after death. You're the guy who said "life reaction" in his last life.

"I knew it. I think the Ripper is letting his opponent get close and kill him by surprise. So it's not going to be a big enough reaction to be detectable in [Case Detection].

Rather, the big reaction was when the body by the Ripper was discovered. Running based on that reaction, there were times when officers knights had already gathered to pay for it, when it was the second and third. I said I'd let Papi take a walk, and I couldn't rush. So it was too late.

At the time of the fourth incident, as I said earlier, Pappy was suffering from pterygoid fever, so he could not rush even if there was a reaction.... Either way, it's not easy to break into the castle. I don't have the strength to outrun the Kingsguard knights or the Department of Defense. "

Keep me alert and close - huh? That means the Ripper isn't dressed to at least look and see.

That is likely the handsome, or at least gentleman-looking, man of the previous life of the reincarnated/pestle hunter.

The line of women and children would also need to be considered.

In that case, the question arises of how the amputee (ripper) mutilated the human body, but even the suspense of the previous life had fewer female piecemeal killers.

Instead, I have also heard stories that piecemeal murder is a crime of the weak. He said he didn't have enough strength to carry the whole body, so he had to tear the body apart.

But this story won't apply to the Ripper (Ripper) case. The Ripper left the body at the scene of the crime, so there's no need to tear the body apart for lightening.

It cannot be ruled out that the scene of the crime and the scene of discovery are different, but the scene of discovery left an "X" mark, so the Ripper (Ripper) should have appeared at the scene of discovery at least once.

Even if there is such a thing as legendary magic as metastatic magic, it is not enough to have the body teleported to the discovery site, and we have to take a trip to the discovery site and write down the "X" mark.

Most importantly, if there is such a convenient magic, I think if we weigh it down and let it transfer to the sea, we can completely destroy the evidence.

Aside from that, even if the discovery of the crime scene was avoided by dumping the body elsewhere, if the body was torn apart at the discovery site and blamed for where he was writing "X," it would mean nothing.

Regardless of the location that was behind the fourth site - the walls of the Royal Castle - the warehouse of the fifth site, the Culée Chamber of Commerce, can see the scene even from outside the site, even though it is outside the new town with few people. You can see that the next morning, Mr. Ciel, who wanted to go through, discovered the body.

If the mutilator (ripper) had been looking for a place to dump the body to hide the crime scene, would he have chosen a somewhat harder place to find it? Nothing, you don't have to go far. As long as we carry the body a little deeper into the warehouse, we should no longer be likely to be witnessed by anyone working for "work".

Also, transporting in pieces means that the crime scene (but not the demolition scene) and the discovery scene need to be repeatedly reciprocated. That would be a pretty risky behavior in the King's Capital today, where officers knights increase their vigilance.

For that reason, I honestly think we should assume here that the Ripper (Ripper) dismantled the body at the scene of the crime, left the body unattended and left it there.

However, there would be no denying the theory that the cleaver (ripper) is a woman or a child.

Due to the circumstances of the body, it is said that the Ripper has a rather sharp blade or that cutting magic like Aerothrust can be used. It was not strange that women and children were cleavers (rippers) in that regard.

In that case, however, you would need to be a fairly powerful adult woman, or a brilliant wizard with sharp powerful blades like ancient artifacts, or who is fixing wind attribute magic on a masterclass or higher level. It is desirable that he also possesses reconnaissance skills such as [sign detection] and [covert techniques]. All in all, it would be difficult if you weren't a guild or a brilliant adventurer that would be at the top. Other ingredients are that adventurers should also be able to dismantle the human body relatively smoothly in relation to dismantling demons.

But I can't say anything about the motive issue of what such a brilliant adventurer would be a cleaver (ripper), etc.

Incidentally, Mr. Corsey had already conducted an investigation into an adventurer with problems of bare conduct and who was likely to meet the above conditions, and his alibi had been proven in some way. Roughly speaking, it cannot be the culprits of the third and fourth incidents on the side of the Old Town because adventurers with bare hands cannot cross the Golden Gate Bridge into the Old Town except at their request.

It should be noted that I know only one adventurer who is a brilliant adventurer and can use [Wind Magic] at a high level and also master reconnaissance skills. She is the only other Julia mother. Besides, my mother is a nobleman, so she can cross the Golden Gate Bridge. If there had been no double homicide, my mother could have been the lead suspect. Of course, I haven't spoken outside of my family about skills other than fire attribute magic, so there's no chance they'll suspect anything but me and Brother David.

Anyway, the more I think about it this way, the more diffuse the statue of the Ripper (Ripper) becomes, and the tougher the conditions become.

So much so that I wonder if there really is such a person.

"Brother - What is a Ripper (Ripper) like from the" Mask of Moonlights "on the Moon Ride?

That's what Brother David heard.

"That's a tough question. Killing people, they disappear in the wind, like ghosts? - Actually, there's only one fusi I can think of. No, David's gonna laugh at me."

"What? Let me know because I'm not laughing."

"Yeah... what I suspect is that the Ripper is a natural human being."

"Not a living person...... no?

"I mean, evil spirits. David, you're the librarian, so you know about Princess Beatrice's sadness, right?

"You're talking about Princess Beatrice, the princess of His Majesty King Ilgand II five years ago, who was executed at the corner of conceiving the unjust child..."

"Princess Beatrice, who was also famous as a singing princess, was slashed in the stomach, chopped out of her womb and killed, after being slit in the throat, as punishment for adultery. Of course, with the children in your belly."

I mean, is this what Brother Berhardt wants to say?

The Ripper's M.O. looks just like the way Princess Beatrice was killed.

My spine got cold.

But Brother David didn't change one complexion and showed him how to think a little before saying.

"Hmm... I won't deny it at all"

"Oh, surprise."

"As a matter of fact, His Highness, Ellen had a theory that the Ripper might be a Necromancer."

"That's better... but not what you could have told me, isn't it a little dreamy story?

Brother Berhardt, who mentioned the evil spirit theory, but seems suspicious when spoken from the mouth of others.

Although it may be because Brother Berhardt is an Irfried princess and not so sympathetic to Prince Ellens.

"If you're a necromancer and you're bad, you can be an evil spirit, a demon, a lost demon, a necromancer living in an underground cavity, or an apostle of the evil gods that Ed is after, but in short, His Highness Ellens is concerned about the possibility of being an outsider or a comparable offense by a human being."

"... I see"

To Brother David's explanation, Brother Berhardt puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"There's just one difficulty. If the Ripper were a ghost, it would have been a slightly off-target response for Viz Law to empower Brother Berhardt."

"... what do you mean?

"[Case Detection] may be useful for catching criminals, but not for catching ghosts"

Indeed. In principle, [case detection] should react if it is perceived as a case by the victim himself or a third party, even if it is a ghostly "incident".

But demystify Brother Berhardt? not capable of. Brother Berhardt is there to relax...... aside, most knights are strong enough to beat him, but he doesn't seem to have a hitter in ghosts with no entity.

It follows that Viz Law, the god who presides over law and order, missed his candidacy.

"How about a ghost possessed by someone?

"What about it... I'm not a necromancer either"

Brother David joked face-to-face, and the meeting with Brother Berhardt remained open to cold air.
