No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

"I have a few testimonies about that.

- Come on in. "

When Brother David called toward the dining room door, the knob on the door turned properly.

The only thing that came out of the door...

"Asla...... and Jeremiah!?"

Jeremiah turned a blind eye to me when I raised my voice by accident.

Asura's is confused with Jeremiah holding her hand.

"The first witness is this Asura. As for her origins, everyone here - other than Mr. Corsey and Mr. Popols - already knows that."

To your brother's inquiry, the royal faces nod small.

"On several occasions she was flying through the sky in the middle of the night, sleeping about Jeremiah with special abilities. One night, she heard a strange noise. He says it sounded like something was going to fly away at high speed and something was going to crack right after it."

"That one night..."

"Yes, the night of the double homicide."

Nodding to the king's words, your brother says.

As for the sound Asla heard, I hear it from Asla the night I first met Asla's second personality, Night. I told my brother about it.

I was assembling another reasoning about the "sound" this Asla heard. but i know exactly why brother david just took asira's testimony. You want to say that the "bullet" fired by the magic cannon was the sound of cutting the sky and the sound of landing at the Culver Chamber of Commerce warehouse.

"Oh, what such a little child's testimony can count on!

Prince Ellens immediately denied the testimony.

"This is not the only testimony. - Mr. Popols, okay?

Has your brother ever been a flower on the wall? and speak to Mr. Popolus, who was turning into

"Yes. It's about the kettle, isn't it?

When his brother nodded, Mr. Popolus began to testify.

"Lady David asked if the pot fragments found at the scene really belonged to the pot that was placed in that warehouse. David pointed out that among the fragments found at the scene were two different types of fragments. So we decided to identify the fragments."

"Well... and how did that turn out?

The king listens.

"Yes. As David pointed out, there were two types of fragments.

This fragment was specially made for use as a shell for His Highness's magic cannon in both types. One is an old pot, the other is a new pot. "

"A new pot, you say? Didn't you bring it a few days after the incident?

Prince Ellens said in surprise.

"You said that day that His Highness Ellen had come up with a new idea about shells, so I quickly ordered my men's craftsmen to prototype the pot of your order. Thirty in all. As you instructed, we subtly changed the shape, the center of gravity, the cracks to make it easier to crack when you land a bullet, and so on."

When I was shown Prince Ellen's lab, I accidentally leaked a hint, "If you work on shells that crack easily". The prince had listened to it and had just asked Mr. Popolus on the spot to improve the pot. Mr. Popols, who had a quick job and had no job, had instructed the artisans to create a new pot by the end of the day.

…… What's wrong with that?

Prince Ilfrid said with a question mark on his head.

"That area of the warehouse serves as a place to store pots for delivery to Prince Ellen.

However, all the pots I kept in that place that day were new pots.

Nonetheless, the fragments of the pot that were around the body were mixed with those of the old pot "

Mr. Popols' - No, I finally understand what Brother David is trying to say through this testimony.

Under Prince Ehrens, a new pot had not yet arrived. So Prince Ehrens stuffed his body in an old pot and went to the warehouse with a magic cannon to shoot it in.

Of course, the prince knew that the location of the warehouse was a space to leave the pot to be delivered to the prince. That's why we were able to fire magic cannons into the scene without worrying about the remnants of the pot fragments, which are shards of shells.

But that day, that part of the warehouse was lined with new pots.

The new pot, as the prince aimed, was scattered with artillery fire by magic cannons, mixed with fragments of shells and indistinguishable.

But if you examine the fragments in detail, you notice that the two types of fragments are mixed together.

How can there be a mixture of old pot fragments where there are only new pots?

Isn't this proof that an old pot was shot in by a magic cannon?

That's what Brother David is implying.

"It was our confidence piece, but it cracked in the case, so it depends on the fact that we rebuilt it and showed it to His Highness at a later date"

Mr Popols said with a seemingly complicated face.

How ironic that the work of good intentions with the emphasis on Prince Ellen's instructions has become evidence to support the Prince's offense.

In addition to Asla's testimony, the identification results of the pot by Mr. Popolus.

I'd say we've got enough evidence to suspect.

The gaze of seeing the same Prince Ellen was also gradually getting steeper.

but the prince didn't seem to intend to give up yet.

"Well, what proof would that prove!? Daiwa, there would just have been a mix of old pots with good management!

Prince Ellens screams, but no one nodded at the words.

The prince looks indoors and stops looking at Prince Ilfreed.

"Well, yes, if you're my brother, you can even use dragon riding to get out of the new city! It's not a manipulation that you shot in with a magic cannon, etc., but it's that possibility that should be pursued!

"... you know His Highness who is in command of the investigation, right? That day, Berhardt, my brother, was staying at the Dragon Knights stables. The reason is Pappy's ill health. You can't doubt this from the testimony of doctors with knights and other dragon knights."

"Oh, no matter what happens to my brother, who is the leader of the Dragon Knights...!

"For the most part, you will pass by order of His Highness Ilfreed, but if there is a cleaver (ripper) incident that night and His Highness is the suspect, it will be inevitable that a dragon knight will come out to divulge information on condition of anonymity. I mean, I couldn't use a dragon ride that night. This made the two cases inexplicable impossible crimes and drove His Highness Ellens's plan crazy"

"Hey what are you talking about...?

Prince Ellens wandered invisibly.

"His Highness Ellens originally planned to plunge His Highness Ilfreed by setting up a double homicide in both old and new towns that could only be carried out by using dragon riding."

"Hey, what the hell!

Prince Ilfreed kicks down the chair and gets up.

My brother took a glimpse of Prince Ilfreed before continuing.

"His Highness Ellen's plan was to be driven into distress by an accident called Pappy's ill health. His Royal Highness would naturally have assumed in itself that there would be personnel sleeping in the stables. But we should have assumed that the number would be one person at a time, alternating. Then I could also suspect that His Royal Highness Ilfrid had taken in and perjured a dragon knight who was intoxicated by His Royal Highness, or wanted to take in His Highness, and secretly used a dragon rider. But on the night of the incident, besides duty, the stables were to be joined by my brother, Berhardt..."

"Berhardt Culver is my older brother's squire! Possible perjury!

"... but what do you say, brother?

Brother David turns his gaze to Brother Berhardt.

"If Your Highness asks me to perjure myself or not? I apologize to His Highness, but I guess I'll just have to say I can't do that. If you perjure yourself, the protection of Viz Law, the god of law and order, will be blown away."

"I told His Royal Highness that my brother Berhardt was a masked knight in secret. The fact that the Masked Knight is under the patronage of the god Viz Law, who presides over law and order, is a powerful proof that the Masked Knight is not a Ripper (Ripper).

Anyway, coincidentally, the presence of my brother Berhardt has established an alibi for His Highness Ilfrid. He said that he had struggled to bring out a maid with His Highness Ilfrid and killed her, but as such, His Highness Ilfrid would never be suspected. "

"What the hell! So, Mary... that honest and kind daughter was killed for that!?"

Prince Ilfreed shook up. Prince Ilfreed is trying to grip his fist tightly and turn on the fierce urge of anger.

"That's not all. Miss Mary was not only murdered, she was dressed in great disgrace."

"Dishonorable...?

The king, who was still watching over his accomplishments, tells him to groan.

"Don't you see? Miss Mary was pregnant. No... to be exact, they decided I was pregnant (...),"

…… So you're saying that Ilfrid's maid wasn't pregnant? But, David, you must have identified the body of the maid yourself.

"Yes, indeed, there was a fetal body in the womb of a corpse left at the scene of the old town"

"And yet the maid wasn't pregnant,...?

Crushed like the king was bewildered.

... I was finally able to find out the truth about the case at this point.

"- Was it even for that reason that you tore the body apart..."

My voice echoed in the silent dining room.

Everyone's point of view comes to me.

"'The womb of a corpse left at the scene of the Old Town' - Brother David has now given such cautious rhetoric, hasn't he?

"Finally, Ed."

"Oh. I mean, here's the thing, right? The 'womb of a corpse left at the scene of the Old Town' where my brother refers to it, was not (...) Miss Mary's (...)"

Someone raised their voice "Ah".

I'll keep explaining.

"'The womb of a corpse left at the scene of the old town' belonged to Miss Carroll (...). It wasn't Miss Mary, a maid with Her Royal Highness Ilfreed, who was pregnant, but Miss Carol, a female wage in a tavern in New Town."

As my brother nodded at me, he mouthed the core part of his reasoning.

"After Prince Ehrens murdered Miss Mary and Miss Carroll in the Old Town (...), he left Miss Mary's non-womb and Miss Carroll's womb behind the walls of the Old Town, shooting Miss Carroll's non-womb and Miss Mary's womb into the warehouse of the Culver Chamber of Commerce opposite by magic cannon"

"... why did you do that?

On behalf of everyone, the King will ask me.

I also feel like I have already guessed the answer to see the king's expression.

"If Miss Mary was misidentified as pregnant, it would mean who got Miss Mary pregnant. Miss Mary seems to have been a hard-hearted girl, so only a limited number of men come into contact. Meanwhile, His Royal Highness Ilfreed has always been highly appreciative of the work of his maid, Miss Mary, and has leaked it around as well."

"... you mean you set me up to be suspected of being Mary's opponent"

Prince Ilfreed said that in such an awesome voice that the lion roared.

"In addition, you'll soon find out that His Royal Highness Ilfreed likes to play in the New Town liquor store if you're curious about it. No matter how slightly you were traveling, Your Highness has a prominent physique, so it turns out that there was contact between His Highness Ilfreed and Miss Carroll.

What happens when you do that? His Royal Highness Ilfreed is the head of the Dragon Knights, the only being able to travel back and forth between the old and the new towns, after being close to both the murdered Miss Mary and Miss Carroll. His Royal Highness, Ilfreed, would have been the most prominent suspect in the Ripper. "

Taking Brother David's gaze, Mr. Corsey opens his mouth as he drops his eyes on the notebook.

"I looked it up and found that Miss Carroll and a bumpy woman, under a different name, were coming across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Old Town. A passport issued by the state is required for civilians to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. When I checked the number of the pass recorded at the bridge tower, I found that this pass was under the control of His Highness the Irfrid."

Prince Ellens reacted to Mr. Corsey's words.

"... Huh! Isn't that a testimony that my brother is the one who murdered Miss Carroll!

"... what do you think, Your Highness Ilfreed"

Brother David sends his gaze to Prince Ilfreed.

"That was prepared by Carol, who wanted to see it. I couldn't tell you because it was against national rules."

That's what Prince Ilfreed replied with a face like he chewed up a bitter bug.

"Do you know anything about Miss Carroll's footsteps that day?

"Oh. That day, Carol came by after noon and looked around at me and the Old Town where I was slightly"

"So you got a date, huh?

"... right. Me and Carol took a snack and broke up in the evening after looking around at a garment shop for nobles and stuff."

"Oh, because you didn't have any plans for the night?

"... Carol said she wanted to go back to the New Town that day. But if this happens..."

"Yes, Miss Carroll, with her feet, went to see Her Royal Highness Ellens this time," she said.

Miss Carroll, what a double strand she was wearing against two princes.

"Miss Carol was pregnant. If you believe in your own declaration, you must have been a child of His Highness Ellence. Having received that report, His Highness Ellens panicked. Meanwhile, His Highness Ilfrid intended to take responsibility for Miss Carroll"

"... oh. I just can't do it in a regular room, but if I can, I can do it in a side room, even if it wasn't possible, if there's anything a child can do in the future, I'll cognize it so that the child can have aristocracy in the future... that's what I thought."

"But His Highness Ellens was not prepared to do so. For Her Highness, Ellens, Miss Carroll was just a game of fire. His Royal Highness, whose health has improved and he is free to move, is now entering and leaving the New Town Tavern under false identities.

That's where Miss Carroll approached me. She approached His Highness, Ellens, using the technology that had brought His Highness Ilfreed to life. Her Royal Highness, Ellen, who has never had such a play before, has been swallowed up at her pace. And finally, your pregnancy. "

Brother's attitude could also be taken as quite disrespectful to the royal family, but no one stuck there, all distracted by his reasoning.

"Miss Carroll would have stared at the fact that you two would be high-ranking nobles, but maybe she didn't even think you were just a prince. But I think you two have come to assume that you are royal or close to it as you overlap the Kaise.

Miss Carroll, who found out yes, would have further inflated her ambitions, not least in awe. I am not tired of dealing with a well-off aristocrat, and I have come to have the great ambition of becoming queen of this country.

And Miss Carroll pressed Her Royal Highness, Ellence, to take responsibility for saying she was pregnant. "

The brother separated the words and said to Prince Ilfreed.

"At this time, Miss Carroll had a calculation. If anything happens to His Royal Highness Ellens that he refuses to recognize, let's now go to His Royal Highness Ilfreed and claim that he has had His Highness's children - which could have been what he thought. That's why it extended to the act of giving His Royal Highness a laissez-passer, dating another man before seeking the child's recognition, etc."

"Knock... Carol...!

Prince Ilfrid roars with regret. The mistress you believed in was just working infidelity, or the other person was your own brother. Besides, I was even trying to use it as "insurance" so to speak if Prince Ellen put me on his sleeve.

If you were to refer to the ability to flirt with a man as a woman's power, Miss Carroll would have been a witchcraft woman who wasn't even at her feet, such as Mr. Ciel.

"You'll be imagining more than this...... in the first place, it may have been Lord Ellens's money that Miss Carroll gave her a pass to His Highness Ilfreed. I can't give you a pass because I'm in a position, I guess I told you to give me a pass from some other aristocrat I know. That way, Miss Carroll will go to Her Royal Highness, Ilfreed.

Most importantly, if Miss Carroll hadn't worn more than three strands, we'd be talking about. Nevertheless, it will be fine first, as it will also be difficult for the servant Miss Carroll to capture more than three nobles of patience. Of course, His Royal Highness Ellen may have confirmed the possibility of cheating in her bedtime story... "

"In the first place, I was the one who made Ellen tell me that he was playing in a tavern in New Town..."

says His Royal Highness Ilfreed.

"I also talked about doing my best with the woman in the tavern. I wanted to build a relationship with Ellence that didn't have to be hidden from men. Even the Dragon Knights often talk to each other like that. But I'm the captain of the regiment and royal. I couldn't even participate while admiring such stupid stories between men. When Ellen got better, I thought I'd finally found someone to talk to..."

"I see... then perhaps Miss Carroll's approach to Her Highness Ellence was also, for once, the work of Her Highness Ellence. Were you thinking of smelling your identity, approaching His Highness Ilfreed's mistress, and using it to compete for succession to the throne? Or were you simply interested in taking away His Highness Ilfrid's woman"

"Ehrens!

Prince Ilfreed stares at Prince Ellens with the gaze of all the shooting.

Prince Ellens doesn't utter a word with his face down.

But I didn't conceptualize it, it looked like I was circling my wits trying to get through this place somehow.

Brother David takes such a glance at Prince Ellen before returning to the story.

"Whatever, Miss Carroll rendezvoused with Her Royal Highness, Ellens, after breaking up with His Highness, Ilfrid. Her Royal Highness will lead Miss Carroll to the Royal Castle. Perhaps you also said that you would engage your father, His Majesty the King, as a future sideroom candidate. I think it would have been easier to bring him into the lab given the later developments, but maybe the royal castle would have been more convenient in terms of royal passageways, etc. where he could pass unnoticed."

Brother Berhardt's [case detection] had detected two incidents in Royal Castle. So the murder of Miss Carroll should have taken place in the Royal Castle, not in the lab.

"... no wonder you wasted time talking about Carol, boring labs, wanting to see the castle, etc."

Prince Ilfrid told me to crush it.

I see, is that possible? The more I asked, the more I seemed to be a woman.

"Besides, if you were to go inside the castle, you could set an excuse to get Carol dressed or disguised. That's what I bought him that day. Let him get dressed for nobility and put a veil on his face, and he'll turn into a nobleman's maid. If it had been in the name of letting my father see me, all the more so, the disguise would have been easy to make. Carol and I would have felt like we were shaders."

Nodding small at Prince Ilfrid's words, Brother David continues the conversation.

"His Royal Highness, Ellen, when he thus enters Miss Carroll's chamber, kills Miss Carroll, who is floating in the development ahead, poking a gap. And then he did not put it between them, and summoned and murdered Miss Merry, a maid with His Royal Highness Ilfreed..."

It will be easy for Prince Ehrens to summon Miss Mary.

Please help me because I'm a visitor and I don't have enough hands. Prince Ilfreed is calling. Alternatively, the prince was injured in Knights training. I can tell you anything. Also, somewhat suspiciously, it is difficult to refuse the prince's request to the maid, Miss Mary.

"And we'll load the two bodies up in a loading trolley and transport them to the lab. The trolley was originally in Prince Ellen's lab."

Indeed, there was a trolley in the lab with magic cannon shells on it. I remember Mr. Corsey leaning over and taking the cover during the investigation meeting before and rolling the kettle. If it's that size, it looks like it could carry two people.

"Put the two together. Then it may be too heavy for His Highness, so it may have been carried in two portions. Of course, it would have been covered over the body. From day to day His Highness carried things in the living room and in the lab, so even if they were witnessed, there would be excuses. The prince has done his own thing since he became healthy, so it doesn't seem strange to push the trolley himself."

Together they seemed silent and imagining the scene your brother spoke of.

"And we tore two bodies apart in the lab. Your Royal Highness can use Aerothrust with [Wind Essence Magic], so it will be easy to amputate the body. Of course, the uterus will need to be decided out with a knife...... The lab faces the lake, so you will most likely have gone outside and done your work to keep the blood odor out. The time is already night, and the sound doesn't have to be leaked in the silence junction. No nobleman comes all the way to the lab outside the old town in the middle of the night. And -"

"... stuffed a body in a magic cannon shell and fired it..."

The king snapped as he put his hand on his chin.

"It's possible that Sister Irvara used my magic cannon!

"How can Princess Irvara, who can't use [wind magic], use magic cannons without being heard firing at night? Besides, Princess Irvara can't calculate the exact ballistics of a magic cannon. Even if Princess Irvara is honored to have read my writings and you have a certain knowledge of mechanics, it's not the kind of job you can do with a very bump production.

The only possibility is if Prince Ellens and Princess Ilbara are in an accomplice relationship, but Princess Ilbara has an 'alibi' where her brother says "

When Brother David turns his attention to Princess Irvara, Princess Irvara opens her mouth.

"That day... I was up all night arguing about [the spell] with a court magician... and when I realized I was asleep"

"You think that's the alibi!? Maybe you did it by pretending to sleep! Yes, my sister must have been deadbeat with that court magician! So the magician distorted his testimony."

"... that person is a woman..."

Princess Ilbara says just in a musty way.

"His Royal Highness's plan was a bunk. His Royal Highness did not merely make the crime appear to be committed by a mutilator (ripper). Ilfreed (...) Your Highness made (...) the crime appear to have been committed by the Ripper (Ripper) (...).

It should be noted that in order for this manipulation to work well, double homicide must be found to be the work of a copycat. It must have also been an investigative command for that. I don't know if you were going to get hit yourself or let me do it. There is no other competitor to the throne, His Highness Ilfreed, so I have never moved beyond to keep my grip. "

Brother David told me to close.

Prince Ellens didn't look like he'd given up yet.

"In the first place, isn't there conclusive evidence that David's alleged measures have been taken! You're going to judge me, the prince, for vague testimony and circumstantial evidence alone!

My brother nodded small at Prince Ellen, who disagreed sharply.

"Of course, I don't mean to. I'm going to show you some conclusive evidence."

That's what your brother says, turning his gaze to Princess Irvara.

"I asked Princess Irvara to appraise the blood of the victims of the fourth and fifth cases,"

"... the blood is inhabited by the magic inherent in that person. By comparing its magic... you can determine whose blood it belongs to..."

Princess Irvara said it was a blur, but it was a tough one.

In short, the princess says she can do blood tests similar to those of her previous life.

"... passing magic through a bloodstained test strip raises an attribute component according to the Lord's fitness of blood..."

When Princess Irvara said so, she took a piece of test paper out of the pouch she had in her hand. It's about the size of a business card from a previous life.

And when you take the smaller knife out of the pouch, you push it against your index finger. A couple of drops of blood overflowing from it, Princess Irvara drips into the center of the test strip.

- ρ (Maledik)

Along with the words of Princess Irvara, I could see the magic of [the spell] passing through the test strip.

Princess Ilbara shows the test paper in her hand together.

The test strip is stretched vertically to seep in four colors: red, blue, yellow, and green, up and down from the central bloodstain. Red, green were short, blue and yellow were long. And the bottom half of the test strip is stained with thin grey.

"… red, blue, yellow and green colors correspond to fire, water, ground and wind respectively… in my case it means that the water attributes and the local attributes are highly apt.... The bottom half is dark stained indicates aptitude for dark attributes. This is the case in my case, but if you are suitable for light attributes, the top half of the test strip will stain brightly......

And I can tell you that nobody has the exact same pattern because this pattern of color varies depending on the aptitude of the individual......

Using this nature, I appraised the blood of the victims of the fourth and fifth incidents - Miss Mary and Miss Carroll… of course, blood was collected and appraised separately for the head, chest, arms, abdomen, legs and each.... Oh, naturally, we do appraisals with particular regard to the uterus... "

"You mean you dug up the grave...?

Prince Ilfrid saw Princess Ilbara with his eyes on the incredible.

Indeed, in this country's religious view, that is close to contraindication. Judicial autopsies in previous life may refuse.

Princess Irvara said, taking Prince Irfrid's gaze.

"When it comes to uncovering graves... there was a strong backlash from the survivors...

So instead of Mr. David, I persuaded him that I was on the table and that it was necessary for the investigation... but instead of being turned into an experimental bench for [the spell], the conversation got spooked... "

That's what Princess Irvara laughed thinly at.

I know it's meant to be a joke, but the way I laughed was creepy and my spine peeled.

"In the end, I asked David to persuade me to do something... and I managed to run a blood test..."

So Princess Irvara looked up to Brother David a little reluctantly.

... Oh?

Mr. Rouche is my brother who has shaken me, but there may have been some signs of spring in the unexpected.

Princess Irvara is also a beautiful woman who feels luxurious if she keeps her mouth shut. If you keep quiet......

Princess Ilbara takes about a B5 booklet out of the porch to try to open it.

There, the names of Miss Mary, Miss Carroll and the test strips used for the appraisal were affixed.

Miss Mary on the left page and Miss Carroll on the right page... the result was obvious.

On both pages only the "uterus" and the exam paper with captions show different colors. Moreover, its colour was consistent with the results of non-uterine areas on the opposite page.

"From the results... the two bodies belonged to someone else only in the womb...

And comparing the uterus to the other body to each other... it turns out it belongs to the same person...

In other words, the womb of the two corpses was scratched... "

Prince Ellens gets stuck in the words, to Princess Ilbara's quiet words.

He couldn't argue that this was just a fabrication.

"You may already imagine… I have obtained permission from His Majesty the King to look into Prince Ellens's lab. As a result, we discovered a gap in the trolley and a small trace of blood stuck in the corner of the room. This blood is also asking Princess Irvara for an appraisal. The result is… you don't have to tell me."

Prince Ellen was disappointed.
